   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.
