Summary
Astarion’s voice is pitched low and vicious, chilling Gale to the bone. “You’ll find there’s very little not in my power anymore, wretch.” He spits the insult with vitriol. But the tone is familiar, the same cadence and texture as when Gale is on his knees with Astarion’s cock down his throat. It is alarming.
✧･✧･✧･✧･✧･✧･✧
Months after the fall of the Netherbrain, a Gale who chose to remain mortal starts to understand the consequences of encouraging Astarion to Ascend.

Summary
No one visited medical places for pleasant reasons.
But Dr. Gale Dekarios understood that his profession required precision, care, and a level of detachment that most would find unsettling. He strove to provide compassion, respect, and dignity to all his patients... even if they didn't return his jovial conversations filled with anecdotes and cringy puns. At least, none of his patients nor his assistant, Rolan, made complaints to the Board.
What a breath of fresh air to have Astarion praise his bedside manner.

Summary
Settling himself against the counter, arm wrapped around his stomach, he watched as Gale idly set up the station to his liking. He admired how he took the time to take note of where things were in this little kitchen, muttering to himself as he took mental inventory of things he may or may not need, depending on what the recipe for the evening was.
It was charming, watching Gale in what Astarion could only assume was the man’s natural habitat. There was a calm that seemed to take over the other. An easy sort of mood radiated from the other while he donned the apron offered, taking a moment to redo his hair into that usual half bun Astarion rather enjoyed. It was the way those shorter strands would sometimes slip free, hanging just above his eyes. The sight of them had Astarion’s hand twitching, fighting the urge to reach out and brush them from the man’s forehead.
The middle of a cooking class was not the time nor place to test temptation.

Summary
Anakin and Obi-Wan are sent on an undercover operation as an alpha and omega bonded pair in the middle of the Clone Wars. Someone on Cantonica is funneling credits to the Separatists, and it's going to take infiltrating a top secret alpha-supremacist group of Core elites to find out who's upping the financial ante of the entire war.
This act of espionage is going to require some class A play at antiquated alpha and omega dynamics, only problem is Anakin has never submitted in his life and it's certainly not within his nature,or so Obi-Wan thinks.

Summary
The war is over, and Anakin has everything he's ever wanted: Padmé is alive, and they have two beautiful children he adores. He doesn't have to follow the Jedi Code; he's not a Jedi anymore. He should be happy. Everything is fine.
The fact that he hasn't seen Obi-Wan in eight months and four days shouldn't matter.

Summary
To Gale, working with Gortash is a bitter pill he must swallow, but one he can chase with the sweetness of the Crown in his capable hands.
To Astarion, it’s pure hedonism and power. It’s a section of the city in the palm of a pair of new gauntlets. It’s blood from a populace who will never tell him no again, and it's Gale at his feet.
But the aloof housecat often thinks itself a ruler on high over the loyal pup, even when they both wear the master's collar and eat his of scraps.
Enver has come to enjoy their meals together.

Summary
Karlach did not need to know the full extent of what Gale had written to Gortash: only that his expertise in magic might well be valuable enough to trade for the replacement of her engine. A wizard's hubris was useful, sometimes. One had to know their own talents to make the best use of them.

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
There was silence. Neither of them said anything, they didn’t even move.
Gale regarded him with wide eyes, seemingly taking his features in anew. Then, he scoffed, straightening up to sit on his bedroll. “Of course. I can’t believe I didn’t see it.”
No fucking way. He was not being this arrogant, this insufferable, in this moment. Astarion must’ve misheard him, only he knew he hadn’t.
“You think yourself that smart, Gale?” he asked with narrow eyes, face twisting with distaste.
“Yes, in fact I do.” Gale replied, his tone returning all of Astarion’s hostility. “I am a studied wizard after all. I’ve read all about your kind, assuming you are merely a spawn.”
“Merely.” Astarion repeated. He kept quiet for a while, attempting to discern what Gale was going to do. He discreetly wrapped his hand around the dagger he hid in the hem of his pants, just in case.
The wizard seemed to be lost in thought for a while. Eventually he looked up at Astarion, his eyes twinkling in the moonlight. “Did you plan to kill me?”
“What?” Astarion choked on the word.

Summary
Gale counterspelled half the fireballs with ease, immense power flicking from his fingertips as he strode confident across the ring. And he was…beautiful, in a very different way than Astarion was used to seeing him. Not the composed academic. Not the bumbling lecturer, or the overinflated pedant, this, this was…imposing, powerful, self-assured in a wonderfully dangerous sort of way. His hands moving with such confidence, his eyes dark, his earring glinting in the early morning light.
Gale is eager to see the powers Astarion gained from reading the Necromancy of Thay. They prove surprising in more than one way.

Summary
“Oh,” Astarion breathes, eyes drooping into glassy little crescents. Well, if this is how he dies, Astarion thinks, this is how he dies. A shame that he’ll never get to plunge a stake through Cazador’s chest. “Death is so beautiful.”
“...Precisely how much of this spider’s blood did you consume?” Gale asks, his hands brushing Astarion’s hair off his soaked forehead. The touch makes the unbearable, painful heat in his body squeeze around him like a heavy chain. “You’re scorching. You could give Karlach a run for all her gold.”

Summary
Astarion settled on the floor behind him, the smooth, cool plain of his chest pressed to Gale’s back. Gale tried to meet his eyes in the mirror but of course, that wasn’t possible. Instead, he was met with his own image; naked, in an exposing position and jarringly alone.
A cool breath passed over his shoulder as Astarion sighed.
“Don’t you look just delicious.”
