Summary
Alistair is damn near 15 years old now. And though not near adulthood in elven years, he certainly is by the general populus’s standards. His elven father was essentially assimilated by human society long ago and cared very little about all the pomp and circumstance of cultural ties to his place of birth, Evereska. Yet despite that, he seems to use that against him whenever it is convenient.
“Don’t talk back to me! You are not yet a man - not for more than a half-century.”
“Take your time, stop rushing things and allow yourself to make mistakes…we have all the time in the world, you and I.”

Gale sighed, preparing for the expected jest, but Astarion surprised him by closing his eyes and nodding thoughtfully before continuing, "Yes, best not to ignite the imaginations of young minds with such allure.”
"Naturally. We wouldn't want budding wizards succumbing to unethical temptations," He gathered his scrolls in a bundle close to his chest and looked up innocently, “Why are you here?”
"A desire to observe your natural habitat," Astarion replied, finding the sight adorable. "And... Tav suggested it might be beneficial for us to… bond."

Summary
Astarion has spent more than his fair share of time in and out of hospitals and emergency rooms, and one thing is always guaranteed : no one knows what to do with him. He's used to being misunderstood, questioned, and flat-out accused of lying or exaggerating.
But he's sick. He knows he is. He just doesn't know why.
Dr. Gale Dekarios has always loved a challenge. A chance encounter with a beautiful - and mysterious - patient leaves him thinking about the man for days, and when the man appears in his office a week later, Gale is determined to find the answers he deserves.
A story about being seen, being cared for, and falling in love.

Summary
Two bros, chilling in a hot tub, five feet apart...but they are gay. And stuck in this cabin together. And...there's only one bed.
“What? Who are you?” There’s more vitriol in the question than Gale thinks is really necessary, so he gives the man an unimpressed look.
“I’m Gale. I- well, my friends, rented this cabin for the next three days.” Gale waves his phone at the man, then winces and drops his hands back down to his sides awkwardly.
“Oh, fucking great..."

Summary
Gale Dekarios, a seasoned, respected rockstar losing steam with the younger audience. Astarion Ancunin, a popstar on the rise who can’t seem to keep his reputation (or his nose) clean. What better way to boost both of their careers than to sell a fake relationship to the press? That’s what their managers seem to think, anyway.
