Summary
Freshly divorced from Mystra, Gale moves to Baldur's Gate and stumbles upon a games café that hosts Papers and Paychecks, a tabletop role playing game that just so happens to be Gale's special interest.
The owner of the café is Halsin, who is in dire need of someone to run those sessions.
Gale jumps at the opportunity, which definitely has nothing at all to do with the fact that Halsin is the most handsome man he's ever seen. A shame he's married, then... or is it?

After a year spent in seclusion, former professor Gale Dekarios is convinced by his tressym to travel to Ioma. Not just to research the magical crystals there, mind, but to pick himself back up following a string of failures.
Suddenly freed by the death of his master Cazador, Astarion has fled as far as possible from Baldur’s Gate to seek solace for the first time in two hundred years, armed with nothing more than a broken sunwalking ring.
At a romantic seaside getaway, the last thing either of them expect to find is love.

Summary
“It’s ugly,” Astarion breathed, eyes cast down toward his hands, clasped tight and folded in his lap. “It’s so ugly.”
“Hush,” Gale chided softly. “Heat isn’t ugly, or pretty, or anything all that special. What heat is, is natural. This is what your body was built to do. It’s just biology. Not good, not bad, not ugly, not pretty. It’s just part of what it means to be alive, my love.”
Fingers met sweat-damp curls, gently pressing them back behind a pointed ear as the electricity ignited within his fingers; fucking pathetic, how the mere brush of fingertips went straight to Astarion’s cock. The fever was setting in faster than he hoped, slowly eating away at his rationality, but he refused to surrender to it entirely, not yet. He wanted to cling to himself, to this moment, to these quiet exchanges of adoration, to this sudden fleeing of all his fear. Gale would show him all the reverence of a deity, bowing down to the only god that he had ever cared to worship, and Astarion would show him the same.
“Besides,” Gale teased softly, drawing Astarion’s sweat-slicked forehead to his own, holding his gaze. “You’re always pretty.”

Summary
Assassinating an archdevil is a daunting task, even for the heroes of Baldur's Gate. Some inside help from 'the devil they know' would be good, if not for the detail their last meeting ended with said devil dead in his own home.
Or did it?[Within the ball you see Raphael, broken and bloody, dangling above the maw of the archdevil Mephistopheles who is preparing to devour him.]

Finally bookmarking this incredible fic. The best character study of Raphael in this fandom, hands down, not hearing anybody out. If you want an amazing post-game adventure following a good chunk of the original adventuring party, this is the fic for you. It deserves so many more readers and I will keep yelling about it until my final breath.

Summary
Only: rebuilding a shattered Karsite relic — with nothing but the ciphered notes of an ancient Ur-Mage, a bomb with renewed hunger in his chest and a thoroughly disappointed tressym who refused to have anything to do with any of it — hasn’t proved exactly fruitful. Which is why Gale mostly spends his time in his darkened study, trying to spin together the frayed remains of forgotten magic into something that might resemble a fraction of the power he once had.
“It’s complicated,” Gale says to Astarion, at length.
“Oh, I’m sure,” Astarion says. “Must be terribly tricky, dealing with all those arcane powers beyond my comprehension. In your three-week-old pyjamas that smell of vinegar.”
