Summary
For all the difficulties Astarion faced in life, at least he'd never found himself trapped within a drainage pipe before. It seemed like a miserable experience. The murky brown waters emitted a foul smell of rot and fish that turned his stomach, though he still stood on the harbor's banks. The odor must be even worse for a cat with a stronger sense of smell than he possessed.
He watched with detached curiosity as the little creature tried to free itself by maneuvering around the grate, but it kept slipping under the intensity of the water's flow. Swept against metal, its body was pinned flat against the bars. Astarion realized distantly, if he did not help the creature, it would die under the filthy rapids.
Astarion couldn't remember the last time he felt someone genuinely cared about him. It was okay though. He was used to the loneliness. Preferred it even.
But after encountering an exceptionally brilliant cat and its even brighter owner, he begins to wonder if he is truly okay stumbling through life on his own

Summary
The bright red paper tacked onto Bit&Bridle Books’ bulletin board was horribly designed. The color was too loud. The font was too bold. That’s why it caught Astarion’s eye as he waited for Gale to check out.
It looked so ridiculous he couldn’t help staring at it.
The content of the flyer itself really wasn’t relevant to him. He had no interest in the store Sharessque, a woman-owned shop specializing in BDSM gear and fetish apparel (or so the paper claimed). There was absolutely no reason his eyes lingered on the illustration of a man in a dog mask kneeling next to a young woman eating from a cat bowl.
Astarion absolutely, totally does not want to explore pet play with Gale. That would be silly.

Summary
Hands reach out from the audience, grasping blindly as Gale walks the perimeter of the stage. Faintly, someone shouts out their undying adoration. Another screams their need to taste his sweat. Try as he might, Astarion simply cannot reconcile this man with the buttoned-up and bookish wizard he’s known for five centuries.
“Now, this next song is a personal favourite of mine.”
Gale tosses the barely-burnt stick to the ground, grinds it beneath a boot. His voice goes sinfully low as he presses his lips up against the mic.
“Worship,” he breathes out, lids fluttering. “With me.”
Five hundred years of freedom has prepared Astarion for anything. Except, as it turns out, his old friend Gale somehow ending up as one of Faerûn's hottest rockstars.

Summary
Gale is busy running "The Orb" and hiding his feelings from the sexy delivery driver Astarion. But they exchange books and they are flirting (aren't they?) and maybe this could be something good. Of course Gale's soulmate died before he was even born, but that can't mean he will be alone forever, right?

Summary
“Oh, goodness, my manners,” Gale starts, “I’m Gale Dekarios. You may have met my mother, or one of my aunts, or perhaps even my uncle. Or none of them, and they just have heard of you…” The elf tilts his head just a little. Gale continues, “At any rate. They heard you didn’t have any family coming to visit for Simril, and thought you ought to at least have something to eat.” Nevermind that it was a flimsy excuse to have Gale come talk to the most ethereal twunk in the world!
Astarion gives the foil-covered dish a skeptical look, and then gives Gale a considering look. He shrugs. “Come inside, then. You look pathetic.”
That, Gale thinks, is probably true.

Summary
In hindsight, destroying her apartment probably hadn’t been the best method to show Mystra his love.

As their little cat hearts grow closer, Gale is forced to confront whether he was truly as bad of a cat as Mystra always told him.
