Summary
“Oh, just a quick song,” Gale nudged Mr. Acunin toward the piano, “I would love to hear it.”
“Last time I played, you told me my song choice was ‘woefully improper’,” Mr. Acunin pointed out, making his way forward.
“You played Dido’s Lament,” Gale scoffed, “Miss Cliffgate was crying.”
---
Despite being constantly at odds, Mr. Dekarios and Mr. Acunin decide to attend the Yuletide Ball together under false pretenses, hoping to save themselves from persistent mothers and unwanted suitors.

Bookmarker's Notes
Just gorgeous. Perfect blend of snappy, creative and fun with some excellent dialogue. I'm a sucker for a regency AU, especially one that leans into the social aspect of romance. The ending is beautifully, syrupy sweet. So many amazing details too, their outfits etc. Loved loved loved. Will come back to re-read an embarrassing number of times probably.

Summary
“You,” he says, and gods help him but Astarion has missed that smug little note of ah-hah! in his voice, “came here to rescue me!”
“I,” Astarion sniffs, “came here to save the illustrious and noble city of Waterdeep. Anticipating a generous reward, naturally.”
“You're here for me,” Gale insists, still grinning. His eyes are shining.
He looks so fucking radiant, it makes Astarion want to stab something.
In which Astarion saves the day, and Waterdeep, and Gale. That last one is completely incidental, you understand. And no, he is not lying to himself, darling. That you would even suggest such a thing.
