    Summary

    Cazador/Astarion origin story into Gale/Astarion romance novel. Each book can stand on its own.

    “Hello there, little one.” It was said as sweet as spider’s venom. It sickened me.

    I cried out, terror gripping me as he started to stroke the dirt from my curls.

    He seemed almost serene. “This time you’re coming home with me and staying forever.” He gripped my chin and forced me to look at him. Tears streaming down my face made muddy tracks down my chest and the knees I found I was clutching. He smirked, a real sweetness sneaking through. He whispered, “You’re so beautiful when you’re frightened.” He traced my shaking lips with his thumb. I sobbed as his final whisper resonated somewhere within me: “You’re mine.”

    Summary

    Gale serves Astarion closely. They are so close, it’s almost a taste, almost a touch, and yet a secret lies between them, something Astarion isn’t ready to reveal. As the tension grows, Gale wonders how far he is willing to go: will he risk crossing the line with his master, or will desire and curiosity draw him too deep?

    Summary

    Gale is doing great. Really. He is just an Alpha who is never going to date and enjoys his sassy letter exchange with the elderly tailor he has never seen.
    Of course everything changes the moment he and Astarion Ancunin are invited to the same party. How exactly is he supposed to get out of there without ripping the other alpha’s throat out?

    Summary

    Complete as of September 21, 2025! ❤️


    Astarion straightened, a half grin on his lips now.

    “Yes, I would assume you don’t usually make a habit of leaping into the muck at the slightest provocation, though your outfit says otherwise.”

    He reached a hand toward her, palm up, offering to assist her out of the creek. Jen stared at it for a moment, half of her wanting to step forward and touch it, to verify its existence. The other half knew damn well that such an action would be a deadly folly.

    “I think I’ll stay in the creek, thanks.”

    She saw him stiffen, his gaze sharpening before he sneered his question at her.

    “I’m sorry, do I know you?”

    “Nope,” she responded, probably too nonchalantly. “But I know who you are. What I don’t know is how the hell you’re here.”


    Set about a century after the events of Baldur’s Gate 3 and the fall of the Elder Brain, follow Astarion as he figures out how the hells to navigate this new plane he’s stumbled into with the help of his weird little guide. With any luck, between the two of them, they’ll be able to complete the quest he originally set out on.
