Summary
In the aftermath of a traumatic incident that led him to drop out of university, Jayce Talis packs up everything he knows and moves to a small mountain town in the middle of nowhere to open a flower shop, eager for a fresh start on life.
What he doesn't expect, however, is for fate to send him careening back into the orbit of a familiar face from childhood: Viktor, a remarkable up-and-coming artist who not only works at the adjacent tattoo parlor, but lives directly next door.
But Viktor has ghosts of his own. Walls he'd rather remain hidden behind for the sake of those around him. Neither of them intended for the other to get close.
But love is funny like that.

“How did you even get in? I very definitely remember locking up.”
“Ah,” Gale looks ever-so-slightly abashed. Only slightly, though. Mostly he looks a little proud of himself. “You know how the receptionist is always asleep?”
Astarion's eyebrows shoot up.
“Gale Dekarios, you shady thing.”
“I only borrowed it! He's never been awake enough to ask about spares, so. It was easier to just sort it out myself.”
“It would have been easier to ask me,” Astarion points out.
“Mmmm,” Gale hums, doubtfully. “I don't know if I'd ever consider you the ‘easier’ option, Astarion, I feel that would be doing your commitment to cantankerousness a great disservice.”
I'd be extremely easy if you weren't so fucking annoying, Astarion thinks.

Summary
“Ah,” Gale startled, “Forgive me. I may have had a little too much to drink, I’m afraid.”
The stranger chuckled, and the sound slid like silk down Gale’s spine.
“What’s the occasion, may I ask?”
“The worst day of my life,” Gale replied, louder than he meant to. He raised his glass in a mock toast and tossed the last of the bourbon back.
* * *
Professor Gale Dakarios loses his research, his magic, and his lover Mystra all at once and only has himself to blame. When he goes to drown his sorrows, he meets a pale stranger with mysteries of his own.
