Summary
Astarion wasn’t sulking, nor was he hiding from Gale. He was simply taking a relaxing moment to himself. A relaxing moment in the dark, pressed between boxes in what was presumably a storage room.
Sometimes it's easier to ignore an issue when you've got more imminent problems to deal with. Now that he's finally safe, Astarion finds it might be harder to ignore said issues.
This is a direct continuation of 'Bat'tered by the Storm.

Summary
Looking down at himself he felt nauseated, his arms were no longer arms, but wings made from skin and elongated fingers. How absolutely disgusting. It took him a few seconds to register that despite being a spawn and not a full vampire, he’d apparently just changed into a bat. Which was great. Now he got to die as a flying rat instead.
After an incident with a monster hunter, Astarion finds himself considerably smaller, fluffier, and unwillingly dragged into being cared for by a lonely wizard, who has no idea he's just brought a vampire into his home.

Summary
After escaping from monster hunters raiding the Szarr Palace, Astarion flees from Baldur's Gate to Waterdeep. Following another close call, he is inexplicitly turned into a bat, despite being a vampire spawn.
Meanwhile a lonely and depressed Gale is walking home from the tavern when he’s smacked in the face by a small, wet bat that got caught in the storm.
Cue a montage of two idiot's going from vindictive pet/oblivious owner to friends to lovers.

Summary
Astarion has spent more than his fair share of time in and out of hospitals and emergency rooms, and one thing is always guaranteed : no one knows what to do with him. He's used to being misunderstood, questioned, and flat-out accused of lying or exaggerating.
But he's sick. He knows he is. He just doesn't know why.
Dr. Gale Dekarios has always loved a challenge. A chance encounter with a beautiful - and mysterious - patient leaves him thinking about the man for days, and when the man appears in his office a week later, Gale is determined to find the answers he deserves.
A story about being seen, being cared for, and falling in love.

Summary
"First," said Gale. "Do not kill any thinking creatures in Waterdeep unless you must to protect yourself or you have my express permission."
As Gale spoke, he could feel the weight of his words sinking into the person sitting across from him. It was like casting a spell, but took no effort. Astarion had been staring hollowly into his goblet of blood, but at this he made a faintly interested noise. As if the rule were novel and he was considering the shape of it.
"Second, you will obey me in all things," said Gale. There didn't feel like there was any honest way of softening that. Astarion didn't make any sound at all.
"Third, do not leave the tower without permission." Astarion made another speculative noise, considering this one too. But then his shoulders hunched and his eyes skittered down, as if he didn't want to look at what was about to happen.
"Fourth," Gale said, and paused. He started with some context: "There is a tressym upstairs."
Astarion's head twitched. He looked up at Gale, blinking, startled. He had the air of someone who had been bracing for a blow and instead had just been handed a balloon animal.
"A what?" he asked.

It's just difficult to understand why he won't talk to him in person.

Summary
In which Astarion is an ex-olympic figure skater and Gale is a famous musician. They get paired together as Dancing on Ice's first ever same sex couple. Shenanigans ensue.

“How did you even get in? I very definitely remember locking up.”
“Ah,” Gale looks ever-so-slightly abashed. Only slightly, though. Mostly he looks a little proud of himself. “You know how the receptionist is always asleep?”
Astarion's eyebrows shoot up.
“Gale Dekarios, you shady thing.”
“I only borrowed it! He's never been awake enough to ask about spares, so. It was easier to just sort it out myself.”
“It would have been easier to ask me,” Astarion points out.
“Mmmm,” Gale hums, doubtfully. “I don't know if I'd ever consider you the ‘easier’ option, Astarion, I feel that would be doing your commitment to cantankerousness a great disservice.”
I'd be extremely easy if you weren't so fucking annoying, Astarion thinks.
