Summary
“You haven’t been allowed the mundane for the last two hundred years, Astarion. Indulge me my desire to give you the small pleasures of everyday life that you might have been forced to forget, and I promise I won’t protest any frivolity you offer me next, ” he offers, with a nod.
That earns a breath of easy laughter from the Astarion. “As if you don’t thoroughly enjoy all of the frivolity, darling,” he smiles. “I’ve seen your wardrobe, how you still hoard shiny, magical objects like a dragon, and even your scholarly robes would make a king look like a pauper, despite the singe marks.”
“Of course! But it hasn’t been like that since some time before I had the good fortune of meeting you, before at least part of my arrogance was humbled. I’ve been alone with Tara in this tower for so long, forced to destroy the excellence I found; I need to be eased gently back into such extravagance,” Gale says, giving his hand a rather pointed squeeze, before lightly tugging, trying to encourage him to stand, which he does, a little less reluctantly now.

Summary
“I want you to realize that I don’t owe you anything, alright? I don’t have to give you peace, whatever the hell that means, but you’ve got me here, and there’s nowhere else for either of us to go, so ask. What do you want to know, Charles? What do you want from me?”

Summary
“I am not eager to throw myself upon another altar for naught but scraps in return.” Gale steels himself with a deep breath. He speaks his peace to the wilds and the cosmos rather than his lover's face. “And yet. Marble skin, silver tongue... eyes like Moonsea rubies. Oh, you cast a fine altar, Astarion.”
With two discerning appetites, a deal to keep each other fed is the one thing that ties Astarion and Gale together. But the proverbial collar slips all too easily around Gale's throat, the lead feels right in Astarion's unchained hands, and both men think they've bested the other in a game neither should be playing.
In any case. As the greats say in lanceboard: there is no shame in losing to a stronger foe.

Summary
“You really missed out, Eds,” Richie says, taking Eddie’s hand. He swings him out at arms length then reels him in again. When they’re back face to face he ducks in to whisper. “I totally woulda given it up if you’d taken me to prom. If you showed up at my front door with a shiny little bowtie and a hypoallergenic boutonniere, I would not have been able to get my white tuxedoed knees on the ground fast enough.”

Summary
He thought he’d hidden these feelings from himself, stowed them away in some dark corner and learned not to think about it. But the second Eddie peeked in from around the corner at the Jade and looked at Richie with those big, limpid pools of Christmas Orphan meets Bambi, and started rambling about gluten and cashews, it all came flooding back into focus. Richie has loved Eddie so long that it’s become an ache that goes beyond reason.
