Summary
Steve comes jogging up the path in a pair of offensively small bright blue jogging shorts. He’s shirtless and windswept and glistening – actually glistening – in the warm sunset glow.
“Sweet abs of liberty,” Tony says, hooking his sunglasses down his nose to get a better look.
“Of thee I sing,” Clint intones, reverently.

Summary
Steve’s body kicks into adrenaline overload and there are a few long seconds of panic before he registers something foreign lodged against his heart. He looks down and finds a glowing blue circle in the center of his chest with a bright white triangle of light in it, and when he reaches to touch it, his hands aren’t his hands. Tan and calloused. Marred with little scars, like a mechanic or welder might have.

Summary
Iron Man decides it's time to reveal his identity to Steve and the Team. But just as he's about to pull off the mask he learns just how much his team hates their benefactor, Tony Stark.
“Gosh, Clint, tell me how you really feel about my boss,” Iron Man said, tossing a new communicator to him from the box.
Clint caught it but barely even looked at it. “Hey I’m serious. I feel really bad for you. I can’t even stand being in the same room as Stark for more than a few minutes. His ego is the size of this building. Natasha and I were just talking last week about how much we wish you were payrolled with Shield instead of him. He’s shady.”Series

Summary
Tony Stark doesn’t do commitment. So Steve finds it weird – but not impossible – to deal with Tony suddenly bringing home dates that look like him.
Until one of Tony’s one-night-stands, who could be a double for Steve, turns out to be not quite as disposable as the rest of Tony’s conquests – and Steve’s repressed crush on Tony starts to become problematic...

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
The attendant fixes his spectacles. His moustache twitches with irritation.
“My dear Madame, please keep an inside voice. I assure you they have a fair reason to assume that. Very fair, indeed. You see, Mr. Dekarios has been found to be behind the deity known as Mahkloompah. This new God has been preached about by some alarmingly zealous Kuo-Toa and as it often happens with religious affairs, innocent blood has been spilled. But alas, a Kuo-Toa deity is not, in the eyes of the law, a real God and any crimes committed by his apostles are reflected solely on the individual behind the charade. In addition, the Kuo-Toa are protected by law pertaining to the sovereignty of arcane-touched species.”Or: Gale Mahkloompahs too close to the sun, Morena and Astarion embark on a rescue mission

Summary
It’s dark, and Ilya’s not quite sure where he is.
His entire body is numb. His shoes are soaking wet from trudging lazily through the snow. His nose is running, and his lips are chapped.
Selfishly, he wishes Shane would fuss over him now. Pull him close, whisper “I forgive you” even though he shouldn’t, because Ilya would never change, because something inside him- in his family line, in his soul- was broken.
Ilya wondered how long ago it had clicked- when Shane had realized that Ilya wormed his way into this country and tricked the Hollanders into caring for him, then returned the favor by botching their language and leaving a trail of mess in his wake. He still can't help but wonder if that will be part of his punishment- being doomed to miss him in death, too.
or: Ilya’s mostly been able to cope with the fact that he’ll never be able to articulate himself fully in this country- but he’s also never been good at talking about feelings in the first place.
"I'm tired" is the best he's got. It definitely doesn't capture what's going on in his head, and Shane can't read minds.

“Game is over,” he says. “You won. I lost. I was annoying. Normal.”
“That’s not—” Shane starts, then stops, because he actually doesn't know how to finish that thought without sounding like an idiot. His jaw works, teeth grinding together.
That's not what I meant. That's not the point. You said I was boring and you were right and I need you to say it again so I know where I stand, so I know what you think of me, so I can stop waiting for the other shoe to drop.
He settles for: “You were kind of an asshole.”

Summary
The woman tilted her head. "Do you know what we just did to you?"
Astarion's eyes darted between them, perplexed by the question. What they did to him…?
That's when he noticed the Selûnite pendant around her neck. She was a cleric… had she healed him? He tried to piece together a scenario that made any sort of sense, but the details barely added up. Had these people found him? If so, why did they drag him across the city? How did they do such a thing? Why wasn't he in Harborside getting treatment? He wasn't sure exactly how severe his injuries had been, but he knew for a fact that a simple healing potion would not have done a thing to mend him back together.
"Are you… healers?" he asked.
The bearded man's mouth dropped open. "Healers—? What? No," he began to reach for him, but thought better of it and awkwardly closed his fist instead. "Astarion, it's me. Gale."
Astarion didn't recognize his name or his face in the slightest, but the way he was looking at him gave him pause.
"I… I don't…" Astarion shook his head slightly, racking his brain. "I'm sorry… Have we met before?"

Summary
A fetching color rises to his face. Of course they both know the answer already. Astarion waits for him to come to it.
“...I’ll not deny I have quite the active imagination,” he says at last, as if the words are something to be confessed. He sees that soft wanting there again. A hunger that hooks something hot and starving in his own gut. “There are quite a number of things I have… imagined. In great detail.”
OR
In the wake of Cazador’s death, Astarion discovers he isn’t the only one in need of a proper reintroduction to the pleasures of mortal love.

Summary
Astarion’s voice is pitched low and vicious, chilling Gale to the bone. “You’ll find there’s very little not in my power anymore, wretch.” He spits the insult with vitriol. But the tone is familiar, the same cadence and texture as when Gale is on his knees with Astarion’s cock down his throat. It is alarming.
✧･✧･✧･✧･✧･✧･✧
Months after the fall of the Netherbrain, a Gale who chose to remain mortal starts to understand the consequences of encouraging Astarion to Ascend.

Summary
“You,” he says, and gods help him but Astarion has missed that smug little note of ah-hah! in his voice, “came here to rescue me!”
“I,” Astarion sniffs, “came here to save the illustrious and noble city of Waterdeep. Anticipating a generous reward, naturally.”
“You're here for me,” Gale insists, still grinning. His eyes are shining.
He looks so fucking radiant, it makes Astarion want to stab something.
In which Astarion saves the day, and Waterdeep, and Gale. That last one is completely incidental, you understand. And no, he is not lying to himself, darling. That you would even suggest such a thing.

Blade and Dagger, adventuring through the frontiers, writing the next chapter of their story together. But it has a couple of twists that even Volo couldn't pen if he tried...something to do with long-lost parents and dhampirs.
Or, the story in which Astarion both finds his mum and finds a surprise within.
~*~
"Of course not," Adhara laughs. "For me it was mince pies. Used to love a good mince, and then all of a sudden I couldn't bear to be in the same house as one. No, but I had a lot of the common symptoms when I learned I was expecting you—and it's quite normal for us elves to sleep heavily while we're pregnant."
"What did you just say?" Astarion croaks, his face sheet-white.
