Note: this was written as a bonus story for the Ogres and other Dating Dilemmas Kickstarter. As a result it's only available direct from the author. Since the collapse, head archer Vlash has survived by being what everyone else needed. He rallied the elves, protected the king, raised his son, and tried not to feel the loss of his wife and daughter. But now his son is an adult, according to human law, and no longer needs him. The king and the other city rulers are stepping down, so the army is no longer needed. He is a relic of another world. A reminder of a past that the mytho youth don’t remember. At the wedding of the knights, he keenly feels the loss of who he was and the life he’d once had. At two hundred and sixty-six, he’s too young to be this bitter. So, when a human dances with him and looks at him without the deference or fear he is used to seeing, he seizes the opportunity. While it’s only been a couple of weeks since Mason ended his engagement, and he had no plans of hooking up with anyone at the wedding, he has never been able to resist a man in uniform. Elves in their leather and knives are far too tempting. One night becomes once a week, then twice a week, and… Weddings and other One-night Stands has a grumpy elf who hasn’t been with anyone since the collapse and a human who thinks that he’s never going to find anyone who wants him as is. Together, they discover that broken hearts can heal and that one night can lead to finding the one.
