Summary
When famous singer Dorian Storm catches his fiance in the arms of another on the sofa of his dressing room minutes before they're supposed to go on stage to get married, he maybe doesn't handle it as well as he could. Orym is only at this concert to keep his friends company and it's just a coincidence he happens to be holding a sign offering to marry Dorian. The two men must then navigate their "marriage" in the public eye as well as the very public breakup Dorian just went through, a lot of emotional baggage, and - worst of all - a budding attraction that neither one was really looking for.

Summary
“So is this... worth attempting? Pretending we were invited inside and trying to sneak off to find the artifact? Especially since only one person can go inside.”
“Two,” corrects Caduceus.
“No plus ones,” says Nott.
“Except in the case of spouses,” says Caduceus, “If you’re married, the invitation admits two.”
“Caduceus!” Jester gives an overdramatic scandalized gasp. “Are you suggesting we lie about our martial status?”
“I’m not suggesting anything. I’m pointing out the wording of the invitation.”Bookmarked by betterproposition

Summary
A remix of Act 2 in which Gale gets more of a character arc resolution.
“Gods damn it Gale!”
Astarion leaps over him. The guard, poised to land an entirely excessive final blow to Gale’s skull, topples backwards with a knife in his gut. The second pierces his neck, sending him crashing to the ground. Astarion yanks his blades back, and drops to his knees beside Gale.
“Oh no no no, you are not dying on me now.”
Gale attempts to express something, but it comes out as a gurgle of bloody bubbles. The world swings to the side, black and spinning.
“I swear, if it turns out I did just watch you spend the last of your magic sending your cat back to safety instead of saving your own damn skin-”
The threat remains unfinished. A healing potion trickles between Gale’s lips.
“Tressym,” Gale says, when he can finally trust his voice.
Astarion is still crouched over him, cheeks flushed, sweat running down his brow and someone else’s blood smeared across his cheek. Gale has the sudden urge to kiss him.
“What?”
“She’s a tressym. Not a cat.”
Astarion makes a noise of such furious, pained exasperation that Gale half expects the dagger to end up in his neck next.Series

Summary
Hob's fingers slip a little higher, just under the sleeve of his coat. He is still wearing his coat, yes, why is that? He feels very warm. "Could find out?"
"Are you suggesting I should find some man to bed me?"
"Some man," Hob repeats, jaw working. His gaze is hovering somewhere around Dream's collar. "Some man who knows what he's doing, yeah."

Summary
“I think we should have a garden,” Cas says.
Dean looks up from his beer. He hasn’t had that much to drink, but Cas still has a vague look of unreality about him, a splash of living color that doesn’t fit in the bunker’s echoing stillness. Dean didn’t hear him coming. A lot of the time, Cas is so unobtrusive it feels like Dean has the bunker to himself, with Sam away.
Dean shakes his head to clear it. “A — garden?” he repeats.
