    Summary

    In which Astarion is an ex-olympic figure skater and Gale is a famous musician. They get paired together as Dancing on Ice's first ever same sex couple. Shenanigans ensue.

    -

    “How did you even get in? I very definitely remember locking up.”

    “Ah,” Gale looks ever-so-slightly abashed. Only slightly, though. Mostly he looks a little proud of himself. “You know how the receptionist is always asleep?”

    Astarion's eyebrows shoot up.

    “Gale Dekarios, you shady thing.”

    “I only borrowed it! He's never been awake enough to ask about spares, so. It was easier to just sort it out myself.”

    “It would have been easier to ask me,” Astarion points out.

    “Mmmm,” Gale hums, doubtfully. “I don't know if I'd ever consider you the ‘easier’ option, Astarion, I feel that would be doing your commitment to cantankerousness a great disservice.”

    I'd be extremely easy if you weren't so fucking annoying, Astarion thinks.

    Summary

    There was a problem with Astarion.

    Well, in all likelihood, there were quite a few problems with Astarion.

    He was abrasive and flippant and self-serving, and Gale was in no doubt that his quick fingers were skimming at least a little out of whatever chests Tav had him picking.

    Oh, and there was the fact that he was a vampire. Yes, there was that little detail.

     

    Or, Astarion getting outed by the shadow-cursed lands.

    Summary

    “Ah,” Gale startled, “Forgive me. I may have had a little too much to drink, I’m afraid.”

    The stranger chuckled, and the sound slid like silk down Gale’s spine.

    “What’s the occasion, may I ask?”

    “The worst day of my life,” Gale replied, louder than he meant to. He raised his glass in a mock toast and tossed the last of the bourbon back.

    Summary

    Astarion doesn’t know, exactly, when the fight went completely tits up.

    Later, he’ll remember it in flashes. Sounds, mostly. The many booms and crashes of magic, the twang of a crossbow, their darling bard’s voice reverberating straight down into his bones. He’ll remember a beautiful spray of blood from the Gur’s chest, the blackened reddish glow of Wyll’s magic, his own vision sharpening to a point as he rushed in for what should have been the final kill, a bright searing pain in his chest—

    But that’s later.

    Just now, he’s a bit preoccupied, as it were, with using every last ounce of his willpower to stay conscious.

    (Or: The fight against Gandrel goes very badly, very quickly.)
