Summary
Something is sniffing him: cold, loud, ragged breaths dragging through his hair, his neck, his clothes.
“Please, whatever you are. Help me, I beg you.”
Summary:
What could end a millenia of solitude but a half-frozen wizard?
What could fix a broken, betrayed heart but a huge, bizzare creature?

Summary
"It's not right for you to carry my pup without my bite. As it is, you've shouldered the lion's share of this mess. At least allow me to make things right."
Gale rubbed his neck, refusing to meet Astarion's eyes. "Generous of an offer as that is, I can't let an accidental pregnancy be the catalyst for a mating bond. We hardly know each other–"
"We can fix that."
A one-in-a-million encounter crosses the paths of Astarion, an Alpha finally getting his life together after a directionless decade, and Gale, a community college professor by day and an entertainer at an omega club by night. Or, an extremely self-indulgent fox/bunny omegaverse longfic in which Gale suffers, Astarion vibes, and they also happen to fall in love.

Summary
It’s a truth universally acknowledged that a darkly evil wizard must be in want of a darkly evil familiar.
For all of the creature’s offense, it stays bundled in Gale’s hair. In addition to its rapid trusting of him, its possible intelligence based on its reactions to his own words, Gale can’t shake from his mind the timing of its arrival. During his usage of magic for more nefarious aims, not before nor after.
“Would you happen to be a familiar?” Gale queries. “Perhaps to a wizard of similar moral darkness?”Bookmarked by PushingUpDirt

Summary
(Original title Stuck In A Rut)
Astarion goes into rut for the first time in over two centuries after becoming Cazador's spawn. Despite having only known each other a weeks, Gale offers to help Astarion through it. Over the course of their conquest to defeat the Netherbrain and rid themselves of their little tadpole friends, our favorite rogue and practiced wizard relearn that just because nature says one thing, doesn't mean you have to listen.
Or.
After helping Astarion through his rut, Astarion relearns what it means to be an alpha on his own terms (with a little help) and Gale learns that sometimes it's okay to be soft.
