Summary
Gale Dekarios is a four-time Formula 1 World Champion at the top of his game, until he's involved in a crash that nearly ends his life as well as his career. Two years later, he's invited back to the sport by his old race engineer Aumar Elminster, now the Team Principal of the newly reformed Weave Racing. The only catch? His new teammate is a rich, spoiled daddy's boy who represents everything Gale hates about the sport.
Astarion Ancunin is an F1 rookie, with only one season under his belt. As one of the sport's most promising talents, he's thrilled when he's invited to be part of the renowned Weave Racing team. The only catch? His new teammate is a failed relic who expects Astarion to be his Number 2 driver.
Now, the two unwilling colleagues will need to learn to work together or watch both their careers go up in flames.

Summary
“The world seems full of good men – even if there are monsters in it.” - Bram Stoker, Dracula
Usually, the long climb up the barren hillside means he sees any of his visitors coming long before they reach him. He knows all their faces too, by now; even the villagers who do not attend his services. This man is new.
He is well-dressed. Exceptionally well-dressed. Gale has seen neither cloth nor embroidery so fine since he arrived here. His stark white hair is precisely styled, the curls barely moving in the not inconsiderable wind.
He turns as Gale approaches. His hearing must be astonishing.
Gale almost does a double take. Though the fashion, when he was a boy, was to be pale, he has never seen a man as pale as this. His skin is like porcelain, like so many women would have killed to have been born with. There's something almost uncanny about it, in actuality. On the wind-blown clifftop, it makes him seem like a ghost. A beautiful ghost, undoubtedly. But a ghost, all the same.
“Good morning, and blessings be upon you,” Gale calls. The man’s placid expression twists, for a moment, into something like pain.- Language:

Summary
Astarion thought he'd escaped his past. Then he inherited it.
Summary: When Astarion learns that he has inherited both Cazador's title and his horror show of a palace, Astarion wants to ignore the whole mess in the worst way, but Gale insists they return to Baldur's Gate and do the paperwork to truly rid themselves of the last of Cazador's ugly legacy. However, the house is haunted and has its own agenda for Astarion. Between a bureaucracy more convoluted than the schemes of the Dead Three, corrupt Patriars who want Astarion to step into Cazador's old shoes, and a tax bill large enough to crush Waterdeep, Gale and Astarion learn that Cazador is almost as much trouble dead as he was alive.
Canon Caveats: Plausible as post-canon canon-compliant fic, with some magical realism and exceptions to strict 5e magic rules.

Summary
"He’s too obvious, thinking he’s bluffing, but the moment the suit jacket came off, so did some of the veneer of the powerful, calculating businessman and it was so easy to see the eager softness beneath. Astarion’s learned never to underestimate the power of a costume, or of removing it."
***
Expert art and antiquities fraudster Astarion Ancunin knows what he does best - the long con. After weeks of careful planning he's zeroed in on his latest mark, the famous, handsome, billionaire venture capitalist: Gale Dekarios. Gaining access to his luxury penthouse full of priceless works is easy enough. What he didn't bank on being difficult is keeping his focus on his job, and not on his target's gorgeous eyes and far-too-talented mouth.
A short, modern AU Bloodweave fic that is a shameless vehicle for filth.

Summary
Sharp man was good at hunt. Sharp man found him on hunt. Crept up on Gale with eyes that shone red in the night like fish scales. Said he would rip him up with his too-long claws and eat him with his too-long teeth... but Gale had shrunk too small. Would make for a bad meal, sad and sour and not worth the work of a kill.
More ways Gale was no good.
Or- fixing Gale's horrible self-worth issues by (consensually!!!) hunting him for sport! For the Baldur's Cave monosyllabic writing challenge 💜

Summary
A scream wakes her, it cuts through her sleep and makes her eyes pop wide. At first, there is just dark, her chest loud with a quick thud that shakes her, that makes her fur rise in fright. Then the dark sky through the front of the cave goes bright with a crack of light and she sees them. Near her loved one, the big warm one, the one who has the soft sweet voice and warm chest that soothes and purrs.
Now that big warm one is flat on the ground.
She runs.

Summary
It’s not fair, Astarion finds himself thinking as he stares intently at Gale’s stupidly elegant hands, the professor gesticulating animatedly while talking about… something or other that Astarion could not bring himself to care about, let alone focus on, that he looks so goddamned hot explaining things.
Or, Astarion has a thing for his friend and coworker's hands, as well as his overall competence, and things develop from there.

Summary
The Underdark is filled with mushrooms. Mushrooms that explode. Mushrooms that choke you with noxious fumes. Mushrooms that...send you spiraling into an insatiable heat?
Well. It wasn't Astarion's fault that he had fallen into a patch of said fungi. But at least the selfless druid was there to help.

Summary
So maybe Astarion has noticed Gale acting strangely the last couple of days. He’s been quiet, slow to rise in the morning, dragging his feet on the trail, less quick to respond to Astarion’s conversation. But what’s it to Astarion? Talking about these sorts of things isn’t what he and Gale do.

Summary
For as long as Astarion could remember, there's always been a specific rumor about wizards that he’s always been curious about.
He’d heard it from all sorts of people. From guffaws in taverns by drunken workmen after a long day at the docks, to giggles by prostitutes between clients, all the way to whispers in halls by teens who couldn’t help but gossip… that if you found the right wizard who knew the right spells, and had the skill to boot, they could change you.
Have a cock, but want to try out what it'd be like to have a pussy for a night? Easy! Have a pussy, but want to try fucking someone with a cock all your own, without any pesky mess with toys? Pft, were you trying to even offer a challenge? Oh, you wanted both? Sure! Have what you want!
AKA, in which an established Astarion and Gale have some tremendous fun with magic that can transform the body.

Summary
There's a rather handsome pair of cowboys at the saloon tonight: a human man, flowing brown locks and glittering silver accessories peeking out from beneath the brim of a cowboy hat, and an elf with white curls tucked beneath a night black hat of his own. They seem enamored with each other, all laughs and smiles over their drinks.
Yet, for some reason, they also seem interested in you.
