    Summary

    When Greg Lestrade met Mycroft Holmes for the first time he wasn't quite sure what to make of him. But nine years down the line, he could never have dreamed that this was where they were going to end up.

    AKA: A slow-burn Mystrade, starting in 2005 and covering all three seasons of Sherlock.

    As of 19/04/2016, I am going through this fic and reformatting it, so if you find some inconsistencies in formatting, that's why. I'm also trying to remove the typos and the unnecessary words and clunky phrases. It's a long story and it'll be a long process, so your patience is very much appreciated.

    Summary

    Gale's head snapped up to look at the white, bat-winged tressym who stood tensely on the rug before them. "Astarion?" he asked, amazed. "Is that you? What in the world happened?"

    "How in the Hells should I know?!" Astarion cried. "One moment I'm my gorgeous self, the next, I'm a bloody cat!"

    "Tressym," Gale and Tara both corrected as one.

    Summary

    Astarion is near the docks when he feels Cazador's compulsion on him snap. He doesn't think twice. He just takes the next available ship out of Baldur's Gate. Its destination: The City of Splendors. Waterdeep.

    Gale takes back the glass, now empty, and then seems to fidget a little. “There is something I wanted to get your opinion on- but it can wait until you’ve recovered. You don’t look well at all- no offense meant, of course.”

    “None taken,” Astarion says sweetly. “Please go on. Tell me exactly what it is about my appearance that you find lacking.”
