Summary
A paladin escorting his party north discovers an escaped mage hiding in the woods after violently tearing herself free from the cult that imprisoned her for years.
Starved, traumatized, and carrying terrifying power in her veins, Eleven is exactly the kind of magic Mike was raised to destroy.
Instead, after he insists his party take her in, the road stretches onward and her existence slowly dismantles everything he was taught about magic, corruption, and faith. Somewhere between shared campfires, whispered prayers, and the quiet terror of learning to trust each other, Mike finds himself falling for the very thing his order would condemn.

On the eve of their final fight against Vecna, Mike and Eleven slip away from the others and climb to the roof of the WSQK radio station for a few stolen hours alone. With tomorrow hanging over them and the fear of regret clawing at both of them, they cling to each other beneath a hazy sky, sharing their first time and trying, just for one night, to forget the darkness waiting at sunrise.

Mike plans the post-grad road trip in secret—maps, routes, marking places he thinks El will like. But once they leave, none of it really matters.
They don’t rush, because for once, they don’t need to. For the first time in her life, El gets to stop, breathe, and see everything she’s been missing.
And Mike? He’d drive forever just to see her smile.

Summary
Settling on the stool next to Mike, Johánna remarks, “You have loved her a long time, yes?”
Mike startles, head whipping to look at Johánna, who merely smiles at him in amusement around her sip of beer. He relaxes at the sight of her, clearing his throat as he nods. “Yeah. I’ve loved her since the day we met.”

Summary
Mike doesn’t need much out of life. A job that pays the bills. A place to come home to. Most importantly, El safe and within reach.
That’s it.
So when he has to leave for a week to help his family move out of his childhood home, he tries not to think about it too much. They’ve never been good at being apart... but it’s only seven days.
Until she suddenly stops answering the phone. The longer the silence stretches, the more certain he becomes that something is wrong. By the time he gets home, he’s already bracing for the worst.
