    Summary

    "Do you enjoy reading this sort of thing?" Astarion asked, wielding the romance novel at Gale.

    "Er— yes, a lot of people do," Gale cleared his throat defensively.

    "It's just so… formulaic, don't you think? The characters fall in love with the snap of a finger! A single glance," Astarion jabbed an accusing finger against the page, "and I'm sure the rest of the story will revolve around intimate acts performed between stretches of inane miscommunication! Don't you ever get bored? It's so unrealistic!"

    Gale believes in love at first sight. Astarion, allegedly, does not.

    Summary

    War, blood, demons, and famine — all terrifying in their own right — but very much tangible. You can experience war within your body, taste the blood upon your tongue, perceive the demons, and anguish in the famine. It’s not these things that unnerve Gale the most.

    Gale isn’t frightened of the things that he can make sense of.

    Piercing red eyes cut through the darkness of his room — disembodied and simply watching. Bound by his own body in a state between sleep and wake, Gale cannot make sense of the gleam of lips curled over elongated canines — much too large to be that of a human. Of the dark rumble of a chuckle emanating from the darkness. Of the figure vanishing as soon as he finds his ability to move again.

    Gale isn’t frightened of the things he can make sense of, no. He is frightened of the things that are void of both logic and unexplainable in the volumes of tomes that line his shelves.

    Gale is visited by 4 spirits, one of which fills him with both terror and desire. Not knowing which he was more swayed by worried him most.

    Summary

    Twenty years ago, Ed spent one perfect winter night with a gorgeous stranger—only to wake up to an empty bed and a single note that left far more questions than answers. He’s built up his life since then, pouring his heart into a cozy, snow-glittered Bed & Breakfast in the mountains… but he’s never forgotten that night, or the man who slipped away before sunrise.

    So when that very same man checks in with his entire family for the holidays, Ed is hit with a surge of unresolved feelings he's tried (and failed) to pack away over the years. Now he has to figure out how to face the past he’s never stopped thinking about, and what it might mean for his future.
