Warrior and Mage AU

Captain Rowan Rangecroft’s first impression of Mage Milo Tobitt? Yeet.

There’s no way the chatterbox twink could be the powerful mage Rowan’s duchy needs to protect his people from the fearsome monsters that plague his family’s northern territory. But something about the little mage teases Rowan’s heart, making him wonder: could Milo heal the broken parts he thought unlovable?

Milo’s first impression of Rowan? Keep.

Milo has his reasons for fleeing to the brutal conditions of the northern duchy, but who is he to pass up on a gruff captain of the guard with muscles Milo could spend all day fantasizing about. Milo knows he’s a lot to most people, so why is it the stone-faced Rowan simply takes him as he is? Milo was never one to let a good thing slip away.

To keep or to yeet, it’s a tale as old as time.

An MM standalone novel in the multi-author series: Because Canon Sucks.
