   Summary

   Veremund Faulkner is an assistant professor at the most prestigious university in the country. He’s conscripted to tutor a student from a different department for the semester. Believing he’s seen all there is to see in the people around him, Darnell Evers is a shock. Darnell is vibrant and absent the poison of Vere’s social circle, but there’s something curiously secretive about him too.

   Written for the BL Palace Secret Santa exchange.
