Summary
It feels a little ritualistic as Astarion taps fresh grounds into the smooth wooden pipe for Gale. For he’s never lit a candle and prayed proper, you see, but he thinks the crackle and cherry glow of a pipe under Gale’s fluttering eyes is as good an altar as any. And as he breathes in, Astarion mirrors him. The smell would be overpowering were it not for the wafting sweet panic in Gale’s blood as he chokes himself out so… willingly.
Or: Astarion can’t get high, but that insufferable wizard can. And watching can be just as fun.

Summary
Astarion's a slightly nomadic ethics professor taking up his new post at the storied Blackstaff Academy in Waterdeep. While exploring everything the city has to offer, he tests out a much-lauded dive bar glory hole and has the time of his life. It's impossible to get that sweet, soft voice and that skilled tongue out of his head, but the anonymous person on the other side wishes to remain unknown.
Oh well.
Maybe Astarion's burgeoning crush on his distinguished, older colleague, Professor Dekarios, will keep his mind from wandering towards the unattainable.

Summary
Gatorland is directly on Highway 441, just north of the Orlando-Kissimmee line, 20 minutes from Walt Disney World and Sea World. Astarion’s there for information, not necessarily connections, but he’d also been told to stay open-minded. Specifically, Cazador had told him to keep an eye out for anyone whose scruples are few.
OR,
Forget it, Jake. It's Gatorland.

Summary
It is a truth universally acknowledged that a gentleman who returns from war after eight years must be in want of a spouse. When rumours of Captain Gale Dekarios's exploits in battle become the talk of the ton, disgraced Mr. Astarion Szarr can only hope that his closest friend, and the secret holder of his heart, might come to return his long-buried affections.
With stunning art inside from the incredible Calolily!

Summary
Someone shoulders Cazador aside. ‘Hello, dearest! So sorry I’m late.’ The stranger slides into the booth seat next to him. With his back turned to Cazador, he gives Astarion a meaningful wink. 'You were right, I should have got the bus. Far too much traffic about at this time of night...'
It takes Astarion a moment to catch on, but he is a lawyer. Thinking on his feet is second nature. ‘That’s quite alright, love.’ He places his hand over the stranger’s, glaring at his ex. ‘You didn’t miss anything.’
It’s a rare thing to see Cazador lost for words. This complete stranger has placed himself between them like the world’s bravest sandwich filling and is gazing at Astarion so fondly that he almost believes he does have a boyfriend.

Summary
Lord Astarion holds grand masquerades that are attended by the finest of the Gate. He samples the populace like wine; finding a taste for fat blooded noblemen and soft academics. And he kills with impunity, now– once slitting a beggar’s throat who had kicked up dust on his finest boots.
So why does sad little Professor Dekarios still elude him so?

Summary
“I am not eager to throw myself upon another altar for naught but scraps in return.” Gale steels himself with a deep breath. He speaks his peace to the wilds and the cosmos rather than his lover's face. “And yet. Marble skin, silver tongue... eyes like Moonsea rubies. Oh, you cast a fine altar, Astarion.”
With two discerning appetites, a deal to keep each other fed is the one thing that ties Astarion and Gale together. But the proverbial collar slips all too easily around Gale's throat, the lead feels right in Astarion's unchained hands, and both men think they've bested the other in a game neither should be playing.
In any case. As the greats say in lanceboard: there is no shame in losing to a stronger foe.

Summary
Geralt shifts uncomfortably on the chair as the camera focuses on him. “A Witcher,” he says. A muffled voice off camera asks him to repeat the question and he frowns. “I didn’t ask a question, you did.”
--
“What was I before I became a vampire? A Witcher,” Geralt says. There is a beat of silence and his eyes flicker off-camera. “What is a Witcher?” He repeats slowly, “I killed monsters for coin.”
