    Summary

    Astarion and Gale break into a haunted library to uncover forbidden knowledge, only to learn the key to entry is putting on the dirtiest show of their lives.
    OR
    Gale has an unexplored exhibition kink, and they find the perfect opportunity to indulge it in a haunted library during a lightning storm. Meanwhile, I get to indulge my increasing inability to write something without a massive cum joke involved.

    Written for the Kinktober prompts Exhibitionism & Voyeurism, and the Spooktober prompts Ghost, Haunted House (except a Haunted Library), and Storms.

    Canon Caveats: Plausible as post-canon canon-compliant fic, with some magical realism and exceptions to strict 5e magic rules.

    Summary

    It’s not that he doesn’t appreciate it. He does, really. Sincerely. Astarion is fully aware of the lengths Gale had gone to, to put this together for him. To make him feel normal, wanted, alive. again. And he's aware of the lengths their friends had gone to, to be here for this.

    But it was hard to deny he was miserable.

    Gale finds out that Astarion doesn't know his birthday; to Astarion, it seems silly to celebrate his life when he's been dead for two centuries.

    Summary

    Banished from Tav’s good graces for being insufferable, Gale and Astarion drown their sorrows, play dress-up, and discover that maybe they weren’t competing for Tav's heart so much as auditioning for each other’s. Left unsupervised, they discover that silence really is golden, lace really does flatter everyone, and love really can be this stupid.

    Reasonably Canon-Compliant for Act 2 - as usual, I bend some spellcasting rules.

    Summary

    “And what does it take?” Astarion finds himself asking. “To sate you?”

    “It depends.” A muscled shoulder goes up in an elegant shrug. “I like to be taken. And I’m very, very good at it.”

    Astarion’s breath catches in his throat. “Is that it? You like to be… full?”

    “In more ways than one.” Gale is drifting closer now, his pupils black as the turbulent storm raging within Astarion. “I like feeling open. Loose. There is a certain exhilaration to having the spend of many dripping out of you.” He pauses, eyes fluttering shut, a soft sigh escaping him.

    “Quite nothing like getting your prostate pounded to incoherency, wouldn’t you agree?”

    Astarion had anticipated many things on his upcoming semester exchange to Blackstaff Academy. Falling irrevocably for the resident campus bicycle was not one of them.

    Summary

    It’s thrilling to have Astarion so close, even sniffing at his skin like a beast. A not insignificant part of him has admired this charming rake for quite some time, though he’s loath to admit his shameful crush out loud. Even as his skin seems to reach towards the solid line of the vampire’s body, Gale can’t admit how much he wants to be touched by him.

    “Darling…” Astarion rumbles, voice slightly off, with an affectation like he’s drunk. His nose trails along Gale’s neck again, another loud, unabashed inhalation over the bump of Gale’s throat. “You smell positively delicious.”

    -

    An unfortunate incident occurs in the fleshy halls underneath Moonrise Tower and Gale seeks privacy to deal with the mess, not realizing he's being followed until a hungry creature with flashing red eyes corners him away from the others. Gale doesn't run.
