    Summary

    He immediately knew there was something inhuman about the man. Even if Gale had somehow missed the trail of blood down his chin and shirtfront and the collection of dead animal carcasses at his feet, his eyes gleamed in the dim light like a cat’s.
    Despite his fearsome appearance, the stranger’s body language was defensive. He lowered his body, pulled his lips back, and hissed. His canines were strangely long and sharp.
    A vampire? They were supposed to be extinct.

     

    Gale finds a starving, half-crazed vampire in the woods.

    Summary

    The vampire's eyes are wide and round, full of amazement. They dart wildly around the sights below, as if trying to see everything at once. The lights of the city reflect upon his face, soft shadows dancing across his elegant features. The very tips of his fangs are visible from his parted lips.

    The radiance of the city pales in comparison.

    ✧・゚: *✧・゚:* ✧・゚: *✧

    Two months after the brain falls, Baldur's Gate has picked up most of the pieces. The band of heroes that saved Faerûn has been there through most of it, helping the city back on its feet. But now it's time to move on. Old lives to get back to, families to return to. Gale is going back to his tower, back to Tara and the blessed quiet. Alone. Or, at least, that was the plan.

    This is a story about falling in love.

    (Now has fanart! End of chapter 6 and end of chapter 8)

    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

    “How old are you, Astarion?”

    Astarion is not expecting the question, Halsin can tell by the way he jerks upright, spine straight, shoulders strong.

    “Two-hundred-and-forty,” he answers without hesitation. “Give or take a few years.”

    Halsin swallows, rewords his question. “How old were you when you were turned?”

    Astarion goes quiet. Extremely, cacophonously quiet.

    “Thirty-nine,” he finally says, a bolt straight into Halsin’s heart.

    -

    Halsin discovers Astarion was turned before his maturity and all the sacred elven rites that come along with it. Including the sex one.
