    Summary

    On a side street in the Lower East Side, Infernal Iron Tattoo and Waterdeep Floristry face each other. There’s also a deli. It’s not very good.

    Tav has scrapped her way through her twenties to finally have a life she can be proud of: she co-owns her own tattoo studio with her best friend, she wears what she wants and does what she wants, and she even has enough money to get good coffee most of the time.

    Is she happy? Yes.

    Does the very existence she’s worked so hard to earn make her completely incompatible with the beautiful, buttoned-up florist across the street? Also yes. Unfortunately, it doesn’t make her want him any less.

    Summary

    The decision to attend Waterdeep Comic Con during the Midwinter holiday had been intentional. Astarion had assumed that everyone – his overbearing (if well-meaning) friends, his manager, and his psychotic ex – would leave him alone so that he could work in peace. He’d been wrong. On the heels of one of the worst scandals of his acting career, Astarion Ancunin is saved by an unlikely hero: his driver.

    The Driver hefted a set of black, leather gloves from atop his legs. His fingers were long and tanned. Astarion couldn’t help but watch as he donned them, giving the tight fabric a flex until the leather stretched over his knuckles. Then he tilted his head to the left, touching an ear to each of his shoulders, before pushing out his chest. His fitted suit strained against the motion, and Astarion heard a few joints pop.

    “Do you happen to have your seatbelt on, sir?” the driver asked.

    Astarion’s mouth, for some reason, watered.

    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.
