    Summary

    Following a smidge of time-line fuckery, Gale meets a handsome stranger in the Yawning Portal - a stranger who seems to know far too much about him, to be far too invested in his life and his happiness, and to be far too attractive to let slip through his fingers.

    The stranger also happens to be an incredibly welcome distraction from the otherwise miserable and confusing hellscape that is Gale Dekarios's personal life. His mother worries about him constantly, his familiar won't talk to him about anything that matters, his mentor won't tell him anything useful, and his goddess is making cryptic and increasing demands.

    OR: Gale meets a handsome vampire in 1487 who seems deadset on making all his problems go away, with some strings attached.

    Summary

    Basically I was listening to the soundtrack for Rent: The Musical and the lyric "I know I've seen you out and about when I used to go out" triggered me to think of poor little Gale being in his tower all alone for a whole year. Then... THIS was born.

    It's SO specific, but I hope you enjoy.

    Summary

    Gale spends some time alone, after everyone has gone to bed. He needs space to think and plan for what has been asked of him, and Astarion interrupts his brooding session and offers him advice...Aka: a ramble as I try and figure out the characters!

    excerpt:

    Gale sat near the heat of the blazing campfire, his brown eyes reflecting the stars above him. Everyone else had gone to bed not too long ago, and he would leave for his tent after a moment.

    Just…a few moments more.

    He just wanted to watch the stars a little longer. He wouldn’t have too many moments left to do so, he could feel it. Be it Mystra’s will, or his own mortality beckoning, he felt it like it were breathing down his neck.

    Summary

    It’s mainly Tav’s fault that they end up having to go to this monastery anyway.
    The little lady had been kind to them. She had offered them food, and a warm place to stay in exchange for help.
    Her sister, a training wizard, had been starting to act funny. The girl had been sent away to a monastery, and had recently lost contact.
    Gale had thought this was just a bit of a misunderstanding. Just a 14 year old girl being a teenager.
    But when he looks into soft, pretty brown eyes with a twinkle and inherent hunger for magic, Gale has to face a mirror image of himself.
    And face a harsh and disgusting truth he didn’t want to accept as gospel.
    -
    (Or, the inherent grooming, sadness and suffering of Gale Dekarios)
    Heavy warning for a child acting out on grooming issues

    Summary

    This is just a little snippet that came to mind of a conversation between Gale and my tav, Alyssum. This is set early on, in Act 1, as they are just getting to know each other.

    Sometimes a little company and conversation does a lot for a person, and Alyssum knows this.

    Summary

    Tav gives Gale one of the matching rings from the House of Healing. When he eventually discovers the real purpose of the rings, they broach the subject of self-sacrifice and Gale's intention to detonate the orb.

    In other words, angst and chaos.

    And for the first time ever, Gale of Waterdeep is a coward, and runs.
