    Summary

    The first time Gale meets Astarion, the elf yanks him out of the portal and back onto solid ground. He’s kind and grateful as he introduces himself.

    And something in Astarion sinks.

    ~

    The first time Astarion meets Gale, the man is tumbling into his office at the courts with a grin. He greets Astarion like an old friend –

    He always does. The wizard comes and goes every few decades, never appearing for more than an hour at a time, but it’s always with a level of warmth that feels ill-placed. He’s a confusing sort of man. Astarion shouldn’t like him. He certainly doesn’t want to.

    If only Gale would stop being so… Gale.

    (Very, very loosely inspired by The Time Traveler’s Wife.)
