Summary
Perhaps he was looking a bit too comfortable, because as he pulled his laptop from his bag, the gray cat a few tables down rose into a languid stretch and began a leisurely stroll in his direction. It was a bit funny looking, its head crooked slightly to the side and its steps a bit unsure. Though Astarion was certain he was about to get a face full of tuna breath, the cat paused a short distance away, content to sit and stare.
Lovely.

Astarion is the deeply under-appreciated social media manager for ProFang Ascension, an online media company, where he is constantly trying to put out the fires started by his terrible boss. Fortunately for him, his dear friend Shadowheart has just the thing to help him decompress- a voucher for the sleepy little cat café she works at.
Or, a slow-paced, laid-back, extremely fluffy first meeting between an Astarion who is trying really hard to have a bad time, and a very tired Gale who will ensure that does not happen.

Summary
Gale had desperately clasped Astarion's wrist, preventing him from fully wrenching away. From fleeing. And for a brief moment Astarion was ready to lash out with all of the feral fury a starving spawn had to offer.
The memory of that scorching touch was like a scar. The imprint of his lightly calloused, bare palm on Astarion's slender wrist was an invisible, white-hot brand upon his flesh. It was only Gale's wide, worried eyes and immediate surrender of Astarion's captured limb that saved him from being torn to ribbons by long-forgotten vampiric claws.
He loathed it. Touching and being touched.
People did not touch Astarion and survive.
Astarion did not touch people destined to live.
---
Astarion has a complicated relationship with physical touch. It brings up a wellspring of memories best left forgotten, and he doesn't even know if he could enjoy it anymore should he ever let anyone close enough to try... or five times Astarion sees Gale being held and has a lot of difficult feelings about it + the one time he does it himself and knows exactly how he feels about it.

Gale Dekarios' Waterdhavian Almond Cake by Wheretheharekissesthefoxgoodnight for patheticfangirl

Summary
Last night, I read the new chapter of "Destructive Natures" by patheticfangirl and I crave almond cake ever since. Thus, I obviously had to bake it.
"On the plate sat a thick wedge of cream-colored cake decorated with toasted almond slices and a dusting of sugar. Accompanying it were some fresh raspberries."
If you fancy reading some angsty, depressing bloodweave, I can warmly recommend "Destructive Natures".
