Summary
“C’mon now, up you get Astarion, our Uber's here!”
When both doors to the backseat of his car were opened, Gale caught the undeniable smell of tequila and was reminded of a terrifying scene in a film he saw as a child, the scene where an inebriated stranger hijacks the backseat of a car and strangles the driver to death with their belt. He knew that wasn’t real or likely to happen at all, but that didn’t change the fact that someone was going to enter his bloody car - someone so drunk that they did not realise that he was in fact, not their Uber.
“Oh, um, I think you have the wrong –”

Summary
People don't want to be broken into pieces for Gale, and so he pretends that he doesn't hunger for it.
For knowledge.
For the power that comes with true understanding.
For the intimacy of it.
He tries not to force his companions open like a book and devour them page by page; it would break their spine in the process.Astarion needs blood and protection.
Gale just ... needs.
They're both full of cracks.- Language:

Summary
The thing is, Steve’s the kind of guy who tells people to be quiet in movie theaters not because he can’t hear the movie, but because somebody can’t hear the movie; he’s the kind of guy that sticks up for mothers in clothing stores not because they’re his mother, but because they’re somebody’s mother. He’s the kind of guy that—

Summary
These days, most everybody in camp had learned to wave away Astarion’s advances with a laugh. They found the flirtation titillating, Gale figured, or a bit threatening, or some combination of the two. He wondered if anybody else found it sad.

Good old-fashioned rumination on choice and compulsion. Gale and Astarion shake off their metaphorical shackles.- Language:
