    Summary

    The hand removed itself from his forehead. “Temperature is normal,” Gale announced, before using its fingers to gather some stray drool that had trailed down Astarion’s jaw. Before Astarion could register the pitiful jolt of arousal at the sudden skin contact or the sheer absurdity of what Gale was doing, Gale had stuck its fingers in its mouth.

    “What the —”

    “No new bacteria detected,” Gale went on, “Ruling out food poisoning.”

    “Oh, Gods,” Astarion groaned. “And to think that these things are what’s sending our workforce into a tizzy. What next, 'droid? Are you about to give me a rectal examination too?”

    “There is no need for one at the moment,” Gale said, confused. “Unless you are seeking prostate stimulation—”

    “No!”

    Amidst the softly thrumming melancholy of a dystopian, cyber-punk city, former corporate-rat Astarion Ancunín, who has long since lost the will to live, finds himself in possession of a G-413 or "Gale" - an amnesiac android who, strangely enough, enjoys living.

    Summary

    Beauty, tradition, and perfection: these are the pillars of the House of Szarr, a centuries-old perfumery owned by creative director and artist Cazador Szarr and shouldered by its next-to-nobody nose, Astarion Ancunín.

    Overworked, underpaid, and determined to claw his way out, Astarion finds the perfect blend of unusual charm and genius—and the key to toppling the house for good—when he meets chemistry professor Gale Dekarios.

    Or: one perfumer, one professor, one treatise on art, addiction, and the price of ambition.

    Summary

    ”Fig jigglers were essentially shortbread cookie cups with a flanlike, figgy filling meant to rise above the cookie’s cupline and jiggle without collapsing or cracking. The finished product was dusted with powdered sugar and served either at room temperature or chilled, depending on the season.” - Hot Mess, chapter 12
