    Summary

    Leanna Bryne is a second-year student at Trinity College, a champion footballer and track star, and a black belt in 2 different martial arts. She also can’t focus on schoolwork to save her life, and if she doesn’t get her act together soon, there will be no amount of trophies she can win that will keep her on her team. Enter: Gale Dekarios, a mess of a graduate student on his way to a second PhD, all while he suffers through the worst breakup of his life, and possibly anyone else’s. Brought together by Gale’s advisor and Leanna’s failing grades, the two make a deal to spend the rest of the semester attempting to fix each other's lives. The last thing either of them needs right now is a stupid crush, but love is famously unpredictable.

    Summary

    “Queens boy, born and raised,” Peter said.
    “Well, I have a sensitive question for you, then,” Matt said, leaning in a little, dropping his voice to a mock whisper. Peter tensed again. Shit. Maybe he did know.
    “You a Mets fan?”
    Peter’s head dipped back in relief. Jesus, this guy really was gonna kill him.

    Summary

    “I know the Burlazaars,” Wyll confirmed, while Toska tried not to squirm, “but my father was more concerned with the menace than the intrigue, and for that reason we were not in their company much. I might have had barely a handful of interactions with their daughters over the course of my youth.”

    “I’m not surprised, given the odious traditions I’ve heard about. I always wondered if the rumours were true.” Gale peered at the missive again, as if he expected it to surrender its secrets unopened. He was probably waiting for Toska to come free of her catatonic state and quench his curiosity. “Wonder why they’re calling on you, in the wake of all this.”

    She could have asked the same question, for completely different reasons.

    “Well,” Toska wheezed, “probably because Neve Burlazaar is my mother.”

    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.
