Summary
He unexpectedly turned as he closed the door and caught Daphne observing him. Their eyes met, she blushed in embarrassment, and—
Every time he smiled, really smiled with his whole face, the world around him seemed to dim in comparison. He made her want to take up painting again. Or pastels, or any of the other art forms she’d left behind when she graduated from RISD and started her first bookmaking apprenticeship. She’d never felt compelled to make representational art, but Gale Dekarios in the full bloom of joy was absolutely worth representing.
In which tiny, remote Icepeak College mysteriously hires a massively overqualified antiquities scholar in the middle of term, and its book arts workshop director finds herself inexorably pulled into his orbit. In her defense, he's really fucking hot.

Summary
Gods. A year ago Gale had been part of the University of Waterdeep’s storied wizardry department. Now he was in this decrepit little office at Baldur’s Gate University after destroying both his career and a fifteen-year relationship.
He wasn’t sure if he was here to start over, or to give up.
____________________
Gale Dekarios had almost everything he’d ever wanted—until he let his pride ruin it all. Now he’s newly single and wondering if he’ll ever pick up the pieces of his shattered career.
A collaboration with the brilliant sorcerer Alys Towerfell might be just the way to regain what he’s lost. Or maybe the way to find something even better.
A modern academia AU in which Gale realizes the value of a clean start, Alys learns that it can be very attractive when men talk about chess, and (this is extremely important) Gale wears glasses.
