   Summary

   Astarion Ancunín is the ruthless Editor-in-Chief of Waterdeep House Publishing Company. Gale Dekarios is his overworked, under appreciated PA. But when an expired work visa means that Astarion needs to marry a Waterdeep citizen in order to keep his job, is there a chance they could be something more?

   A modern-day, no-magic AU inspired by The Proposal because I saw Sandra Bullock and Ryan Reynolds and went ‘yeah, that could be Bloodweave’.
