Summary
Bad things happen to those who wander alone or unprepared in the Darkling Woods.
Everyone has heard the stories. A friend’s brother’s neighbour who wandered too far into the trees and was never seen again. The son of a shepherd three villages over who vanished while searching for a missing lamb. The band of mercenaries hired to threaten a town into paying a tax increase then never returned to collect the second part of their wages.Something terrible lives in the woods, the stories say, and none who enter alone ever emerge again.
Or: After Lancelot is gravely injured by a group of druid hunters, he's found by the most unlikely of rescuers: the fearsome Monster of the Darkling Woods and her companion, Merlin, who really wishes she'd stop bringing him broken creatures to fix.

Summary
"Lancelot, I can explain—"
“Who are you?” He drew his sword. There was a reason why he had not run back to that clearing, why he drew his sword instead of throwing it away, and it was that the Merlin he knew would have never let him believe he was dead. For years.
"Lancelot, it really is me," he said, his hands raised. Lancelot swallowed.
"Prove it," he said, because yes, he was that desperate.
Merlin took a step forward. Lancelot adjusted his stance, gripped his sword tighter.
Eyes locked, Merlin's glowed. Hundreds of tiny golden lights appeared around them, like fireflies but warmer.

After his mother's death, Luca runs away from home, fed up with his father's neglect. He finds himself struggling without a support system, and is unable to pursue his passions. He meets Alva Lorenz and secures a place as his student, and finds not only a mentor in him, but the father Herman should've been.

Summary
There was silence. Neither of them said anything, they didn’t even move.
Gale regarded him with wide eyes, seemingly taking his features in anew. Then, he scoffed, straightening up to sit on his bedroll. “Of course. I can’t believe I didn’t see it.”
No fucking way. He was not being this arrogant, this insufferable, in this moment. Astarion must’ve misheard him, only he knew he hadn’t.
“You think yourself that smart, Gale?” he asked with narrow eyes, face twisting with distaste.
“Yes, in fact I do.” Gale replied, his tone returning all of Astarion’s hostility. “I am a studied wizard after all. I’ve read all about your kind, assuming you are merely a spawn.”
“Merely.” Astarion repeated. He kept quiet for a while, attempting to discern what Gale was going to do. He discreetly wrapped his hand around the dagger he hid in the hem of his pants, just in case.
The wizard seemed to be lost in thought for a while. Eventually he looked up at Astarion, his eyes twinkling in the moonlight. “Did you plan to kill me?”
“What?” Astarion choked on the word.

Summary
“Ah,” Gale startled, “Forgive me. I may have had a little too much to drink, I’m afraid.”
The stranger chuckled, and the sound slid like silk down Gale’s spine.
“What’s the occasion, may I ask?”
“The worst day of my life,” Gale replied, louder than he meant to. He raised his glass in a mock toast and tossed the last of the bourbon back.
* * *
Professor Gale Dakarios loses his research, his magic, and his lover Mystra all at once and only has himself to blame. When he goes to drown his sorrows, he meets a pale stranger with mysteries of his own.
