Summary
Several months had passed since Gale’s marriage to Mystra ended, and the idea of diving back into the dating world held little appeal. After a series of disastrous first dates arranged by well-meaning friends, Gale reluctantly agreed to try out a new dating app, only to discover it was more geared toward casual hook-ups than finding a meaningful relationship.
Despite his initial reservations, Gale spent an evening testing the app, scrolling through profiles until he paused on one that caught his eye - a stunning, pale elf with the username Starlight69. On impulse, he marked the profile as a favourite and decided to call it a night. But just as he was about to put his phone away, a message from Starlight69 appeared on his screen…
Starlight69: Hello, darling~ 😈
Without hesitation, Astarion attached a rather flattering photo of himself - nude, of course.

What happens when the world moves on - and you remain stuck in place?
In high school, Gale drags a protesting Astarion to the new Dungeons and Dragons club, building a world of fantasy and friendships that lasts a lifetime.
Or does it?
Ten years later, everyone has moved on - except Astarion.
When the club finds themselves reunited unexpectedly, Gale and Astarion realize that ten years may have not been quite enough to get over the hurt that still burns between them.
A story of growing up, forgiveness, and miscommunications - with a dose of DND. :)
With lots of art from the incredibly talented adsu-shy!

Summary
Astarion has had a shit week. A shit life, really. He has tanked his reputation, crashed his boss's car, and now he is going to die in the middle of nowhere.
Then Gale of Waterdeep comes along and rescues him.
Maybe he'll get that holiday after all.

Summary
“Tara. What in the Nine Hells happened to my beard?”
Gale had gone on a great adventure with a band of tadpoles misfits to save the world from the Absolute. That much, he was certain of. So why and how did he find himself back in Waterdeep, a year before that whole venture, and just days away from committing the mistake of a lifetime? Did the friends from his vision indeed exist? Or better yet, did they remember? What could it all mean?
A bit of time traveling shenanigans and the threat of Absolutists to defeat anew... But just how much does everyone recall from that glimpse into the future exactly? Find friends and foes alike back in an adventure with much more to offer than you’d first wager![Act 1 & 2 of this fic published, Act 3 mostly written]
