The Crimson Songbird: A Tale of Love, Obsession, and Undoing by VollyDarkstar
Fandoms: Baldur's Gate (Video Games)
02 Dec 2025

Summary
Serina Torvin of Cormyr thought she’d found peace in Gale Dekarios’ arms, books, magic, and love as steady as his heartbeat. But when Astarion steps back into their lives, the past doesn’t return quietly. It hungers.
What begins as temptation twists into captivity, a tangle of chains, teeth, and velvet words. Gale offers devotion. Serina fights for her soul. And Astarion, broken, brilliant, merciless, will take, torment, and worship until he owns every shiver of their bodies and every fragment of their hearts.
This is a story of love turned weapon, of surrender laced with ruin. Tenderness and torment, romance and filth, obsession and the sharp edge of desire, all bound together in a game none of them can truly win.

Summary
A strange, rhythmic ticking begins echoing beneath the docks of Baldur’s Gate, drawing the Bloodweave Detectives into a new mystery hidden deep below the city. Old allies return with warnings, uncanny clues surface in the fog, and something mechanical—and possibly magical—stirs where no life should be.
As Vesta, Gale, and Astarion investigate, they find themselves facing a threat that responds to sound, memory, and emotion in ways none of them expect. With tensions rising and the Weave behaving strangely, the trio must rely on trust, wit, and the bonds that hold them together to uncover the truth behind the ticking.
A story of found family, lingering shadows, and the secrets the city keeps beneath its streets.

When We Cherish The Cracks, They Start to Glow by TalkNerdyToMe42

Summary
We all know Barcus deserves better. Who better to give it to him than a certain sweet wizard from Waterdeep with a similar history (in terms of a one-sided relationship with a manipulative, exploitative ex)?
This is the *beginning* of that story.
Setup is pretty much canon. Tav & co. rescue Wulbren. Wulbren is a prick. Barcus is devastated but does his best not to show it. Gale has a soft spot in his heart for Barcus and does his best to comfort him.
Pre-relationship, but all sort of clearly headed in that direction. Relationship (so far) is platonic in fact... but romantic in feeling.

Summary
Gale Dekarios of Waterdeep is running out of time and ideas. The Netherese orb fused to his chest grows hungrier with each spell he casts.
In a calculated risk, Gale travels to Baldur’s Gate to bargain with Cazador Szarr, the city’s ancient vampire lord, whose infernal pact with Mephistopheles may hold the key to unraveling the orb's power and freeing himself from his curse.
Reluctantly, he returns to Waterdeep with an unexpected “companion”, Astarion, one of Cazador’s spawn. There ensues the slow realization that neither of them is entirely what they seem to be.

Summary
“Then we shall give him what he wants. And I will get what I want. Allies.”
Gale snapped his eyes open, turning them to Minthara. He fully turned to face her, hesitation in his eyes, brows knitted in concern, knowing what she meant by this.
“Once you give something to a vampire lord as an extension of allyship, they will not let go,” Gale explained. “They see it as a gift and will not give it back.”
“That is why I think we should show him that we hold the power,” Minthara said, caressing Gale’s face with a hand. “A cordial and civilized meeting. I will conduct, you follow my lead. We will put that pathetic excuse of a vampire in his place.”
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Shadows lurk near the new House Baenre, leading Gale and Minthara to discover who's behind the spies in the dark, and make a plan to get the other to yield. -

Summary
Gale’s words filled the preternatural quiet, and lingered even after he stopped speaking. The frank, lengthy confession hovered between the pair of them like the predawn mists that blanketed the rocky crags of the mountain pass, low and heavy.
Rhune’s chest felt tight, constricted, even as his heart and thoughts both raced. His tongue felt useless in his mouth as he tried to summon some sort of reply. A candle without a wick. A hilt without a sword.
The entire illusion surrounding them seemed to hold its breath, each and every star, leaf, and blade of grass quivering with anticipation alongside its maker.
Waiting for Rhune to respond.

Rhune and Gale actually (finally) talk about their mutual feelings.Series

Summary
Lorroakan thinks he can best everyone's favourite bard-wizard duet. He cannot. He certainly cannot.
Or,
Lorroakan lays Therin out on the battlefield. Gale goes wild. Then they both do.
------------
“Don’t you dare touch him,” Gale’s voice was low, gravelly—he felt the Weave hum at his fingertips like never before. Therin was still pitifully trying to regain his strength, find his footing, though the world felt like it was spinning around him. He was one errant blow away from losing consciousness—the fear that struck in Gale’s heart turned to rage as it reached his mind.
“Oh, how lovely! Mystra’s obedient little lapdog, baring his teeth,” Lorroakan guffawed, “Tell me—will you whimper for her as you burn, or for your pathetic minstrel?”

Summary
Elizabeth Collins thought Thursday nights couldn’t surprise her. After all, there’s little magic left in closing shifts, aching feet, and the lingering smell of burnt espresso. But when she stumbles across a pulsing tear in the air — and the wizard who falls out of it — her ordinary city life collides with something impossible.
Gale Dekarios, wizard of Waterdeep, was attempting a carefully calculated planar traversal. It went poorly. Stranded in a world of strange machines and stranger customs, Gale must find a way back to his own plane — if the Weave even exists here.
Bound by accident and circumstance, a cynical barista and a displaced wizard are forced to navigate each other’s worlds. One of them wants to go home. The other isn’t sure what she’s just invited into her life.

Summary
“Yes, well, there isn’t anything for me to actually eat here with my special ‘diet’. And I don’t see or hear any of you willing to help me out,” he grumbled, but it was true. Karlach still was too hot to touch, Lae’zel made it apparent that there would be no fangs anywhere near her, Wyll still had his guard up around the vampire, and Shadowheart was not his biggest fan either. And don’t even get him started on Gale’s toxic blood due to the literal bomb in his chest.
“Oh…I’m sorry, it seems that none of us ever really stopped to think of that.” He said apologetically, hand retreating back to his side.
“You all have your reasons to not want to help, and I get it. It’s just…I can’t find anything suitable for me to hunt. I only need a little blood…”
—Or—
The party is stuck in the Shadow Cursed Lands and Astarion has no luck with feeding until the Wizard of Waterdeep offers his help
