Summary
After a tragic lab accident that claims the life of his partner, Gale becomes a recluse. His best friend Lae'zel, invites hims to a game of D&D at the local Game shop. When Gale works up the courage to attend, he meets a charming and fascinating Rogue that shuts off the noise in his head.
"The scars from the accident that had shrunk his world down to these four walls were mainly hidden under his clothes. His left hand bore the worst of his shame—the flesh was pitted and warped from the explosion that had taken his research, his partner, and his old life. The skin along his jaw remained paler than the rest, a reminder of the raging fire and his failure. He maintained a meticulously groomed beard to cover the bulk of the marks. But the very edges still peaked from its margins to reach for his left eye and spread down his neck. His chest was a ruin.
Yet, it wasn’t the scars that kept Gale indoors, chained to the narrow perimeter of his small apartment. It was the silence that settled after Mystra’s absence. A vast, echoing quiet that turned the world outside into something sharp and fanged."Bookmarked by jaeq

Summary
Astarion found himself watching Gale more than he was watching Dirty Dancing. He looked quite young to be getting divorced, he thought to himself. The gossip in him was dying to know the full story, but he knew full well that it would be really stupid to start prying into a practical stranger’s personal life.
As he was about to ask, because fuck it, he was probably never seeing this man again, Gale reached below his seat and grabbed a notebook and pen from a satchel. A satchel. The man was going on what amounted to a mid life crisis of a holiday (or, to be fairer to him, a third of a life crisis, because he looked to be about Astarion’s age), and he’d brought a satchel?!
**
Lawyer Astarion Ancunín had a chance encounter with film professor Gale Dekarios on a flight to New York. And then another chance encounter at a bar. And when he found out he’s in the middle of a messy divorce, well, what was Astarion to do? Aside from sleep with him, which was obviously a given.
Astarion didn’t believe in love stories. But life had accidentally thrown him into one of his own.
