Summary
Gale is a master of illusion magic—yet the game rarely shows this talent in action. It’s time to fix that!
Set during Act 3 in Rivington. You are Vess, a whispering blade and battle sorcerer.
After Gale confessed his love, you have been happily together for a few weeks, yet you find yourselves terribly lacking in spare time and privacy. These are luxuries for another life. The big fights with Gortash and Orin still loom ahead, but danger finds you anyway.
You are cornered, weaponless, and out of magic. Your last defense is the man who loves you. Gale becomes your knight in magic armor, ready to wield all his talents. His power to alter appearance could be the only way out. But this masquerade spirals in a direction neither of you could have anticipated.
A lot of romance and adventure, a lot of protective Gale, a bit of angst, a little touch of fun… and a few unexpected turns.Bookmarked by MaskedRoyal

Summary
“When Karlach had told Gale to talk to this ’hypothetical’ person, this is not what she meant.”
In which Gale starts asking Tav lots of questions she can’t help but answer. When she offers to teach him a little bit of tracking skills she shows she knows them all better than he’d expected. If any of them were lost she’d probably be able to find them anywhere.

Summary
It has been just over a year since Gale returned from Baldur's Gate. He did the right thing and returned the Crown of Karsus to Mystra, so why doesn't it feel like a happy ending? It was the right move according to everyone else, but was it really the right choice for himself? He's lonelier than ever and restless. He's fallen into old habits and his studies and experiments have begun to wander into dangerous territory. Then, one night while he's drowning his sorrows at The Yawning Portal, a bard takes the stage ...
NOTE: I did my best to include details of Forgotten Realms lore to keep the story feeling authentic but I know there will be stuff that's not 100% right or 'canon.' I chose to tell the story I wanted rather than getting bogged down in being totally lore perfect. Think of it as my homebrew!

Summary
Tara and Gale have been inseparable since he was five. Now that her beloved child prodigy has almost turned forty, and apparently found the love of his life, what is a lone tressym to do?
Tara's (mis)adventures in Waterdeep, anchored in the setting created by Laurelli in her longfic "Quiet Affection", with the aim to expand on Tara's character and all that she gets up to when Gale and Iluviel are not looking. This story starts at the same time as chapter 18 of "Quiet Affection". Reading it is encouraged, but not necessary to fully enjoy this fic. (Seriously though, go read "Quiet Affection", it is absolutely amazing!)

Summary
They shared a moment in the weave, a spark shaped from magic and imagined passion, but neither of them has found the courage to speak of it since. Gale spends nights replaying that memory while convincing himself he must have misunderstood everything. Tav waits for him to say something before misreading his silence as rejection.
On the eve of the goblin raid, Tav tries one last time to reach him. Gale fumbles his chance again. Now they must fight on opposite sides of a dangerous plan, their miscommunication weighing heavier than any spellbook.
Magic is easy. Love, it seems, is a far more complicated art.
