Summary
”Hello, my name is Gale Dekarios. Would you be so kind as to call me an ambulance? I appear to be having some kind of episode.”
”We do not have time to help this… ‘ambulance’. We must report directly to my Kith’rak.” asserted the green one.
“We are in need of aid ourselves, perhaps you can travel with us until we find a healer,” said the purple one.
Just his luck. He was stuck in some kind of nightmare trip with the most dedicated roleplayers in the world.
Gale’s life is quiet and predictable, spent working at the library and having quiet evenings with his cat- when he’s not dealing with his insufferable neighbor, Astarion.
That is until he wakes up in a world of magic and danger, where he knows nothing and no one, except for one constant: Astarion is still there, sharper, deadlier, and just as much of an asshole.
Now Gale has to survive a story he doesn’t belong in, with no plan, no knowledge of magic, and no idea how to get home.

Summary
'What would the former Archduke Gortash be doing planting duskwood saplings in a public park?,' the former Archduke Gortash said instead. He had, in fact, just spent the past four hours planting duskwood saplings in a public park. 'Don't be ridiculous. It is merely a passing resemblance, and one I am not too fond of, given the circumstances.'
'Huh,' the man said. 'I suppose that does make sense: you poor fucker! Besides, they wouldn't let a dangerous madman like that back on the streets.'
'Yes, you would think so, wouldn't you,' Gortash said, mostly to himself.

Summary
Gale started hearing voices after the orb entered his body. Once the affliction was stabilized, he began having visions, too. At night, he inhabits another world, another life, as someone else who in his final moments commits deicide.
There is a bit of that someone left in the orb lodged in Gale's chest.
With Gale's help, that someone comes crawling back out into the world.

Summary
It had been ages but Astarion could still remember how Karsus looked, his warm brown hair and honeyed doe eyes. He was focused, he was arrogant, his ambition shone vibrant and blinding like the sun—and it was the curse of the vampire to be helplessly drawn to it.
But here he was again, shiny and new, smiling at him, folding the ages they had been apart neatly underneath him as if his death had been a pause rather than an end. He looked so beautiful under the sun.
That is, until-
"Hello! I'm Gale of Waterdeep."

Summary
This time, the one who pulled him from the rune portal was no cleric of Shar, but a dragonborn with a chilling touch and eyes like drops of blood.

Gale found himself once more at the beginning of the journey to rid himself of the mind flayer parasite. Walking the same path, but in a different way, alongside an anomaly who had never been part of his former companions before.

Summary
"There's more writing on the bottom of the bowl," Shadowheart said. She was crouched down and pointing to markings on the underside of the creepy, bloodstained altar.
"Is there? What does it say?" Gale asked, shuffling on his knees to get closer to where she was pointing.
"He's going to crawl around like this and then complain about his knees all the way back to camp," Astarion muttered, sounding half amused and half exasperated. Karlach chuckled just a little, because he was right. Talk about being your own worst enemy: Gale versus his knees and back.
"It says 'within each self a monster'," Shadowheart read off of the underside of the bowl.
"Oh, this is very interesting," Gale said. "The blood spilled in the bowl will touch the other phrases, but not this one. I think that marks it as optional. I've heard of something like this before. Azuth set out trials for young mages where one could mark certain incantations with chalk and leave others blank, indicating how difficult a challenge one was willing to face."
"This would make the trial harder?" Shadowheart asked, straightening. "A more difficult test?"

It all starts with a question.
“How exactly does one bed a goddess?”

AKA, Minsc's line about the young magical boys in his village being hidden because of Mystra, implying that Gale was probably groomed into becoming Chosen and Mystra's lover, is very much canon in my mind and here's my fic exploring that

Summary
Rejected by Tav in favor of Shadowheart, Gale is too busy sulking to enjoy the revelry of the teifling party. He'd much rather sit near his tent drowning his shame in a bottle of Blackstaff than celebrate. Unfortunately for him, his busy evening of self-pity is interrupted by Volo, who is in desperate need of help with his newest project.
But maybe this is just what he needs to distract himself from his misery.
Because what's better than one chatty wizard? Two, of course.
.
.
.
"Tonight, Gale suspects, will go down in history as one of his worst moments.Possibly the worst, save for when he first acquired the Orb. Well. On second thought, considering he is currently dealing with the Orb alongside a mind flayer tadpole, constant threat of death, and the fresh sting of rejection, maybe it deserves first place.
Or that's the wine talking.
It is probably the wine talking."

Summary
The Dekarios family have always put a great deal of emphasis on food. For Gale, some of his earliest memories involved clamoring feverishly up a stool, eager to help his mother chop vegetables for dinner. He was barely even able to hold a knife with his stubby toddler fingers, but was just as eager to prove his skills in the kitchen as he would soon be with magic.
Despite his passion for it, cooking quietly faded into the background of his life, readily replaced by his study of the Weave and later his… condition. But when given people to cook for and a desperate need for a distraction due to the tadpole in his skull, good food might be just what he, and everyone else, needs.
.

Aka, Gale decides to write a cookbook during his downtime in camp. Along the way, he bonds with his strange new companions and learns the true value of a good meal.Bookmarked by Sunny90

Summary
One night, Mystra even lays there caressing his chest, talking about mortals trying to ascend. She whispers about the horrors of unrestrained power, the way people would push until they died. Maybe Gale's an idiot, or maybe he's a romantic, because he turns to her and whispers that perhaps he could become a god. Then, they would be so powerful. Mystra tugs on a chest hair and laughs freely, but the loving admonishment feels like someone taking a gouge to his chest.

Summary
The Silence hit him like a brick to the face and sent him reeling, almost to his knees before he could find his balance again. It wasn’t a sensation he was wholly unfamiliar with, but it always had him sort of off-kilter, like the world had gone just a step to the left and left him behind.
Gale has some hidden skills.

Summary
“Ah, so these contraptions do stay still. Very interesting to observe when it’s not actively trying to kill me,” Gale commented, circling Astarion’s car as if sizing it up. “These are carriages of some sort I presume? Electrical? No horses or magic needed?”
Astarion rummaged in his jacket pocket, producing keys. He slid his hand across the trunk, up the back, and slapped the roof. “Actually, this has about 120 horsepower, and this baby can fit so much existential dread.” Astarion smiled smugly at the meme reference Gale would neither understand nor appreciate.
“The power of 120 horses… That sounds absolutely terrifying.” Gale’s face turned pale, his cheeks beginning to match his shirt.
Astarion gets more than he bargained for when he wishes his life weren't so mundane. It seems the universe decided to grant his wish when it dropped off 'Gale of Waterdeep' from a literal portal in the side of a wall.
Will he be able to help the estranged wizard back to Faerun? With the enlisted help of someone an ocean away, he may.

Tav has forgotten more lifetimes than he remembers.
OR: The excessively dramatic, self-indulgent semi-meta retelling of BG3, with a half-elf Tav who doesn’t actually know who he is anymore. After centuries of looping, what he does know are the creatures he has loved and those he has destroyed - not always mutually exclusive - and that he's very, very tired.
