    Summary

    Hunter is not a quiet person.

    He rambles, he whistles, he mutters – his mouth is always going. Whether that’s under his breath or out loud is just a roll of the dice, and most of the time, his surroundings get caught in the crossfire of whatever it is he’s fixated on. If that happens to be an empty scout ship, fine. If it happens to be actual, real, living, breathing people? Less so.

    Which means that stumbling into this knowledge after a year and a half of friendship is like the time he got clocked in the face by a left hook in training, because how in the fuck is he supposed to go on knowing what he knows – knowing that he’s thoroughly besotted with one of the first friends he’s ever had – and not say anything?

    Simple:

    He doesn’t.

    Summary

    Hunter and Willow have been secretly pining for one another since freshman year of high school, and now they're going to be college roommates. They're just moving in together, it's no big deal. Surely this won't change anything between them.

    Hunter isn't sure at which point exactly he fell in love with her — when her fingers brushed through his hair as she checked him for a concussion, or when she brought him a soup bowl-sized mug of hot cocoa, winked at him, and said, "I put some extra marshmallows in there for you, helps with the healing, trust me" — but from that night on, Hunter knew that he loved her.

    And he hadn't stopped loving her, all the way to this exact moment five years later, where he now sat opposite her on his threadbare couch, faced with the prospect of living with her for the next seven months.

    Summary

    Hunter discovers that one of Willow's favorite books is a series of fantasy novels revolving around a forbidden romance between a witch and a grimwalker. Obviously, he has to read it.

    "You had a crush," Hunter says slowly, like he's afraid confirming it will jinx it. "…on the grimwalker character?"

    "Oh yeah, big time," Willow says, lips curving upward in a cheeky grin.

    "So, the fact that he was a grimwalker didn't put you off?" he asks softly.

    "No," Willow replies, just as resolutely as the main character had done. "Why would it?"

    Hunter stares at her for a moment, utterly spellbound, a dozen different doors he'd thought were locked suddenly bursting wide open.

    "I know I said no spoilers, but I've got to know…does she say yes?" he asks, and Willow could swear there's a double meaning in his hopeful gaze. "Do they end up together? Happily ever after?"

    Willow smiles at him.

    "I guess you'll have to read to find out."

    Summary

    A slice of life series following the Hexsquad's adventures in the human realm over the course of a single year — a little bit of angst sprinkled in between lots of warm fuzzy found family fluff, humor, and slow burn huntlow romance.

    What will they think of him when they find out what he is, after everything he's done, after everything they've already had to forgive him for?

    Gus, who makes him feel simultaneously protected and protective — the closest thing to a brother that Hunter has ever had (and didn't know he'd wanted until it was already his.)

    Willow, who—

    Willow, whose smile managed to warm his insides before he could even take one bite of the soup she just set down in front of him.

    Willow, who makes him feel everything, all at once.

    Happy. Nervous. Excited. Terrified. Vulnerable. Safe.

    Like he's free-falling off the top of the Knee, heart racing like he's running for his life, and yet…somehow, he knows, without a shadow of a doubt, that when he finally lands, something soft will be there to break his fall.
