    Summary

    In a momentary lapse in Cazador's compulsion over him, Astarion flees Baldur's Gate. The moment he does, Cazador's second line of defense takes over, and he transforms into a small bat with no real way to defend himself against the sunlight or the wildlife around him. Then he meets a wandering wizard in need of a traveling companion.

    Summary

    It's hard to be mad at Gale when even raising your voice at him makes him flinch like you've hit him.

    It's even harder when you actually figure out what's wrong.

    And why does it have to be *Astarion's* job to fix this mess? Just because *he's* the one who's mad at him?? Ridiculous.

    Summary

    Today is fine.

    The melancholy Gale feels is nothing to write home about. The weather isn’t miserable, but it isn’t amazing. It’s fine. He isn’t feeling ill, he’s not physically injured… He’s fine. At large, the world is fine.

    And yet he feels like he might be falling apart.

    ---

    Gale is just having one of those no-bones days. Astarion isn't willing to accept that.

    Summary

    “You aren’t dying on me are you?”

    “Certainly not.” Gale tells him, but his eyes stay closed and he’s tilting back into the chair enough that Astarion has to shift up to follow. He’s warm, but he is always warm and Astarion hasn’t eaten since yesterday evening, so his own chill skin is hardly a good measure. “I plan to shackle you with my company for many years to come, my love.”

    _________________

    Just days after Gale asked Astarion to marry him, the wizard had the utter audacity to not only fall ill, but deny he was until he was hacking and wheezing with every breath he took. So instead of wedding planning, Astarion is faced with a most wearisome tribulation-- take care of his sickly, feeble, human husband-to-be.
