Summary
Theon inhaled deeply and exhaled a sigh large enough to shake the walls. “What I mean is…anxiety. Panic. I have issues with these things. Maybe even OCD. I haven’t been to a psychiatrist in ages, so who knows at this point, but that’s how they manifest in my mind–birds.” He hesitantly looked up from his fiddly hands to see what Astarion’s reaction would be. Is he going to laugh at me? Make fun? Does he think I’m legitimately insane? Gods, he probably thinks I should be in a straight jacket. I shouldn’t have said anything. Why did I say anything?
-----
Birds come in many shapes and sizes. And sometimes, they live inside our heads. Many people have birds in their heads...and there's nothing wrong with that. But gods, it's really hard to live with them. Theon (my Tav) knows this well. He opens up to Astarion about the birds in his head (aka anxiety disorders).Bookmarked by whimsicall13

Summary
Not far from Creche Y'llek, Gale sits near the edge of a ravine contemplating what to do about Mystra's directive on using the orb. But as he stares at the night sky, his mind focuses on Astarion, the man he is hopelessly in love with.
Concerned for Gale's well-being, Astarion leaves camp to search for him across the craggy terrain. It doesn't take Astarion long to find Gale and join him on the mossy rocks, discussing the drastic choice presented to him regarding the orb.
After travelling together for almost two months, feelings that had steadily grown bubble to the surface, prompting a long overdue conversation between them.

Summary
You retired to your tent early that evening, intent on reading a few of the books you rescued from the rotting upper floor of the church. You lit candles, adjusted your cushions and fur, before settling in for a long night of reading by flickering dim light.
You didn't get more than a quarter of a chapter into the book before a pale hand parted your tent flap from the fabric wall. The motion drew your attention just as Astarion let himself inside, unannounced and--
He rubbed at his cheek, smearing glittering tears away.
"Oh," you said intelligently.
Astarion has been very touchy lately. You find out why. The two of you frot about it. That's all folks
