Summary
She exhaled sharply. “I didn’t ask for your help.”
“You never do.” His tone was maddeningly calm. “But the rest of us live with the consequences.”
Her hands curled into fists in her sleeves.
“You think I wanted that to happen?” she snapped. “You think I enjoy feeling like a live wire every time I reach for the Weave?”
“No,” Gale said, too quietly. “I think you like hiding behind excuses.”
He went on, voice still soft. “You’re not helpless, Lyra. You’re not some celestial accident. You’re a sorcerer. You could learn control. You could study. But you don’t. You hold back. Because you’re afraid of what you’ll find.”---
Lyra didn’t expect to fall in love. She was always a symbol, never a person—“The Living Sigil,” a divine anomaly. Then came Gale: disciplined, brilliant, everything she wasn’t. She didn’t like him. Not at first. He didn’t need another entanglement with the divine. But something changed. He made her want more—and not power, not answers. Something real. This isn’t a story about gods. It’s about two people who should’ve stayed apart… and became something more.

Summary
All Tav wanted was a quiet research position and a chance to finish her thesis. What she got was Dr. Gale Dekarios: brilliant, composed, far too attractive for her sanity, and somehow the oblivious star of her deeply private fantasies.
And when a certain private notebook ends up in his hands, the boundary between fiction and reality begins to blur in ways neither of them are ready for.
It was just a little fantasy. A harmless indulgence.
Until he read it.
--
Set in a slightly alternate modern world where magic is part of history and academic departments still chase relics of it.
