    Summary

    Part 1: Gale has always touted the supreme intelligence of his beloved cat, Tara. So much so, that his housekeeper, Auntie Ethel, bought the little sweetie a whole series of talking buttons (and even programmed them!).
    Gale hasn’t even heard yet what all the buttons say. Perhaps the evening he finally decides to take the next step with his sexy elven boyfriend wasn’t the best time to find out.

    Part 2: It’s Astarion’s birthday—a day which, for most of his life, meant a day riddled with fear and debasement. He hates his birthday. Or thought he did.
    Between his doting neighbor—Old Man Withers—his standoffish Sphinx cat Hiss Majesty, and his loving boyfriend—one Professor Gale Dekarios—Astarion might just find the strength to leave what’s past behind him.

    Part 3: In the whirlwind chaos of moving in together, Astarion has a proposal for Gale that sends the professor spiraling into memories of a time best left forgotten. With the added stress of introducing Tara and Hiss Majesty to each other, hoping they don't kill one another, the social pressure of a house-warming party, and the cruelty of a former lover roaring to the forefront of his thoughts, Gale might just have reached his breaking point.

    Summary

    The others have their own sordid pasts, to be sure, but it's different for Astarion. Being a monster is one thing. Being a monstrous, pathetic, conniving, little whore is entirely another.

    There’s no cure for being owned by Cazador Szarr. There’s no fixing what Astarion is. He'd have to be crazy to believe otherwise.

    Summary

    So here he is: a monster in the wilderness, a shadow crawling in the sun, trying desperately to be more than his nature. Than the terrified creature two centuries of torment shaped him into.

    (Or Astarion reclaims his personhood, one fraught, determined step at a time. And with a little help along the way.)
