Thinking about an au where Ascended Astarion and Spawn Gale (AKA The “Bad Ending”) Meet Professor Dekarios and Spawn Astarion (AKA the “good” ending)

Some key pojnts that keep rattling in my head.

In the ascended verse (Bad End) Gale ends up becoming Astarion’s spawn after supporting him to ascend. At first there isnt much difference besides Astarion seeming a bit more unhinged and protective. After the events of the game Astarion takes over the void cazador left and sets up post in cazadors mansion. Soon throughout the years and eons as the rest of the companions pass away. Astarion becomes more and more possesive, keeping gale to himself and taking more and more of gales autonomy away like for instance decorating the palace with sussor blooms to keep gales magic away. Gale feeling that its his fault that astarion is like this lets astarion get away with more and more until Astarion seeing how miserable gale is decides to take away practically all of gales memories. Leaving only the memories as his time as Astarion’s Consort.

Meanwhole in the Free verse (AKA Good end) Astarion and Gale are living their best married life. Gale decides to become a professor at the academy he used to go to and they take frequent trips around the continent, simply adventuring and eventually finding a way to let astarion walk in the sun once more. Astarion and gale help all the spwan in the undergroudn from time to time andThey meet up with the other companions frequently and live a cozy life in gales tower.

Which leaves us where the two worlds clash. One day Ascended! Gale ends up finding his old lab and sets off one of the artifacts in his curiosity, sending him to the free verse, where Free! Gale and Free! Astarion find him in the woods and the story starts from there

But yeah im insane over this. I think ill call this au the Clash! Verse

Ascended Verse Astarion is called Lord Astarion

Ascended Verse Gale is called Consort Gale

Free Verse Astarion is called Emissary Astarion

Free verse Gale is called Professor Dekarios

Gale's gaze lingered on the standing mirror, frustration mounting at the stark absence of his reflection. He absentmindedly tugged at his sleeve, releasing a heavy sigh. Astarion always prided himself on how they looked; it wouldn't have done well if he had been unkempt, but it was difficult to be sure when he couldn't see himself.

"Resplendent." A voice purred from the doorway.

Gale's eyes flicked towards Astarion. A brief scoff escaped him before he faced the now redundant mirror again. "Hardly," he muttered under his breath.

Astarion strode into the room, uninvited yet unchallenged, and positioned himself behind Gale. Unlike himself, the mirror showed the Vampire Ascendant's reflection, and of course, Astarion looked as gorgeous as ever.

"Oh, my dear, but you are," Astarion whispered, arms encircling Gale's soft waist. "You belong to me, and everything that is mine holds beauty beyond compare." His lips brushed against Gale's jaw. "You are stunning."
