    Summary

    On instinct Astarion looked up through his lashes and winked. When he moved to uncover himself, leaving just a bit over his hips in a tease, pain shot through his little body. That’s right, he’s not in his elven form and Gale was most likely not attracted to bats. At least Astarion hoped he wasn’t.
    Plan B: become utterly adorable.

    Summary

    After dropping out of school years earlier, Astarion decides to get his GED. There’s one problem.

    He’s ‘functionally illiterate’ and needs to take remedial language classes and get a tutor.

    And who is that tutor? Why it’s Gale Dekarios, of course.

    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.

    Summary

    Being turned into a vampire destroyed Astarion’s film career as well as his faith in others. Now the only gig he can get is in a tacky production of Andrew Lloyd Webber’s Starlight Express—Waterdeep’s hottest show on roller skates!

    There, he meets the show’s nerdy train consultant, who has a few secrets of his own.

    Summary

    “Deep down, you like being leashed, don’t you?” The hag’s voice was almost in his ear. Astarion whirled around. An Auntie Ethel – the real one? – stood on the ledge just behind him, yellow fangs bared in a vicious grin. “Listen to your betters, boy!”

    And just like that, Astarion's newfound freedom disappeared.
