Summary
They weren't talking about it. Gale shouldn't have been surprised; Astarion wasn't known for sharing his feelings unless it was to complain. Where Gale wore his heart on his sleeve, his newfound vampiric lover kept his squirreled away, shoving it down as far from the surface as he could manage.
-OR-
Gale tries casual sex, and falls in love immediately.

Summary
After a year spent in seclusion, former professor Gale Dekarios is convinced by his tressym to travel to Ioma. Not just to research the magical crystals there, mind, but to pick himself back up following a string of failures.
Suddenly freed by the death of his master Cazador, Astarion has fled as far as possible from Baldur’s Gate to seek solace for the first time in two hundred years, armed with nothing more than a broken sunwalking ring.
At a romantic seaside getaway, the last thing either of them expect to find is love.

Summary
Astarion smiled then. Genuinely smiled. Gale had never thought his features drawn until he saw them entirely relaxed. He was struck in particular by how young he looked.
Though Gale was immune to Astarion’s feigned charm, he was coming to realize he wasn’t nearly as safe from the authenticity the vampire hid behind it.
AKA
What starts as a tentative friendship between Gale and Astarion, bonding over a shared love of reading, turns into the alarming realization that they may just have caught feelings for each other.
