Summary
After a forfeited university scholarship and four wasted years with a woman who ultimately stranded her and left her for dead on a deserted stretch of Amnian highway, Miriam is determined to finally get her life back on track. What she didn't plan for was finding out the attractive stranger she's been anonymously hooking up with the week before classes began would turn out to be her physics professor for the semester.
The right thing to do would be to call it off and never speak of it again.
Unfortunately for everyone involved, Miriam's never been particularly good at doing the right thing.

Summary
After the fall of the Netherbrain, Tav's home in Baldur's Gate was destroyed and Gale offers his tower as a temporary place for her to rest and heal. A very slow-burn romance starts to bloom, while Tav (named Iluviel) struggles to be ready after the things Astarion did to her.
~
Lots of D&D lore and (mostly canonical) Waterdeep worldbuilding went into this fic that follows both Gale and Iluviel through their daily lives inside and outside of the wizard's tower.
~
Readers said about this fic: "This fic has had me in a chokehold from Day 1. The most deliciously slowest of slow burns, yet with enough intensity and cliffhangers to keep me racing back to it as soon as a new chapter alert comes out. The world-building that has happened in this fic surpasses just about all of the other fics I've read to date, with the imagery and scenery so beautifully written I could imagine myself sitting right in the kitchen along with Gale, Tara, and Iluviel, dodging pots and pans 😁"
