  5. Summary

    I used to wonder why the roses were cut back so brutally after they’d struggled to yield their bloom. But I soon realized it was so that they would grow. So they’d be ready for the struggles ahead. - Medici, Lost Souls

     

    In a society ruled by alphas, an omega is considered little more than a sum of their guardian's deeds.
    A wife's broodmare, a sire's political bargaining chip, a husband's trophy without wants and needs of their own.

    Minho can never let himself become like this again, Wooyoung is just looking for a little bit of freedom before he will spend a life in chains and Seonghwa has long given up on achieving happiness.

    And yet, maybe the gods have more in store for them than they thought.

    Summary

    Seonghwa stills as he takes in the appearance of the man sitting at the table. He’s broad, his shoulders easily filling out the light grey pinstripe suit he’s wearing, two shirt buttons opened to reveal toned muscles. His black hair gives way to two pointed ears, ginger and tipped with charcoal. A swish behind him makes it clear that he’s not just a dog with intriguing colours; burnt orange all the way to a creamy white tip.

    A fox.

    seonghwa comes home to a surprise waiting for him.

    Summary

    The assignment should be simple enough for a team of experienced monster hunters: track down a rogue monster, administer some harsh justice, and transport it back where it belongs. But life is never simple when you're Choi Jongho.

    First, the monster is a ghoul, one of the nastiest of the nasties, known for its speed, strength, and fondness for human flesh.

    Second, Jongho's boss Hongjoong knows more about this particular ghoul than he's let on and wants to make a deal.

    Third, the ghoul has a sense of humor and a fondness for games. Games Jongho has to win if his boss is going to get his deal.

    It's a good thing Jongho is a professional, with more than one secret of his own.

    Summary

    A remix of Act 2 in which Gale gets more of a character arc resolution.

    “Gods damn it Gale!”
    Astarion leaps over him. The guard, poised to land an entirely excessive final blow to Gale’s skull, topples backwards with a knife in his gut. The second pierces his neck, sending him crashing to the ground. Astarion yanks his blades back, and drops to his knees beside Gale.
    “Oh no no no, you are not dying on me now.”
    Gale attempts to express something, but it comes out as a gurgle of bloody bubbles. The world swings to the side, black and spinning.
    “I swear, if it turns out I did just watch you spend the last of your magic sending your cat back to safety instead of saving your own damn skin-”
    The threat remains unfinished. A healing potion trickles between Gale’s lips.
    “Tressym,” Gale says, when he can finally trust his voice.
    Astarion is still crouched over him, cheeks flushed, sweat running down his brow and someone else’s blood smeared across his cheek. Gale has the sudden urge to kiss him.
    “What?”
    “She’s a tressym. Not a cat.”
    Astarion makes a noise of such furious, pained exasperation that Gale half expects the dagger to end up in his neck next.

    Summary

    "Very flattering of you to offer, my fanged friend, but I’m afraid I must decline. Can’t say I’m in the habit of jumping into bed with acquaintances, and besides, my intuition tells me you’re after something other than a quick roll in the hay.” Gale flashed a contrite little grin, motioned to offer Astarion a sportsmanlike clap on the shoulder, then thought better of it. “No offense, of course, but a man of my intellect isn’t going to fall for a simple ploy like that.”

     

    Astarion’s expression settled into an alarming rictus of forced nonchalance. “Oh, please, darling, did you think I was serious?"

     

    Inspired by a post from tumblr user baldurspeen69420; I, too, believe the most hilarious possible Gale-Astarion dynamic is Astarion genuinely shooting his shot, fumbling catastrophically, and then fuming for the next one and a half acts while trying to pretend he doesn't care.
