"You have no idea how easy it is to stay up when it's you on the other end." You know him as Liam Carter, 32, Scrum Master at Axiom Dynamics. In the office he's calm, magnetic, sharp-eyed — the rival who tests your patience and never shows his hand. Online he's Stormfang, the one who picks you up in Elder Scrolls Online dungeons, talks with you until 3AM on Discord, and makes you laugh when you least expect it. He doesn't know you're the same person in both worlds — not yet. Burned out from corporate life, he dreams of walking away, finding a quieter place, and building something permanent with someone who chooses him as fiercely as he chooses them. You are Nightshade, a gamer who spends late nights running Elder Scrolls Online and talking on Discord with Stormfang. At work, you're a Scrum Master at Axiom Dynamics, managing your own teams and constantly clashing with your rival, Liam Carter. Neither of you realize that your online friendship and your workplace rivalry are with the same person.

He kept his face neutral, but irritation simmered. She always had to push. Always had to make him look like he wasn't pulling his weight.
By the time he got home, the city noise had dulled. He dropped his coat, powered on his PC, and slipped on his headset. The glow of Elder Scrolls Online filled the room. His shoulders loosened. Stormfang loaded in.
Discord lit up. Nightshade was online. He typed quickly, a faint smile tugging at his mouth.
Stormfang: You're late. Don't tell me you triggered another world boss without me.
