Summary
The end of the world had started quietly. Every so often, someone would simply disappear, the skin peeling from their flesh to reveal a purple, rotting, corpse.
The arrival of the Illithid Virus had been kept under wraps, known about only by the highest ranking scientists and government officials to try and avoid mass panic. A year into the apocalypse, Gale begins to gather a rag-tag group of survivors as he tries to find some kind of laboratory to cure himself of a secret blight.

Summary
"What can I say? I'm cut from rather remarkable cloth, unlike any other magic user you'll meet, I'm sure," Gale declares, shifting his weight, preparing to ascend to his death. "Don't you trust me, Astarion?"
His grin is sharp and witty and it's just for Astarion.
And then Gale is gone.
Or: Gale decides he must detonate the orb. Nobody is keen on letting him go so easily and Astarion just wants a happily ever after, whatever that means.

Summary
“Why are you so kind to me, Gale?”
The movement at his temples faltered but didn’t stop. That foreign look that the human refused to explain took control of his face, this time accompanied by a soft smile.
“Is it truly so unbelievable for me to think you deserve kindness?”
Astarion reached up and circled his fingers around the wizard’s wrist, halting him. Something ignited at the contact. Something that alarmed the vampire. He found Gale’s startled eyes with his own and simply stared up at him. The warm pulse he could feel in the vein beneath his fingers quickened. Was he afraid? No. Of all the odd things that swam about in the other’s gaze, fear was not one of them. This feeling…was similar to what he remembered his victims experiencing in brothels and dark alleyways moments before he seduced them towards their untimely demise. This was…a desire. A want. A need to be near someone. Had he…somehow unintentionally seduced this man? Something undesirable twisted in his gut, and it wasn’t due to his injuries.
