Kylux Fae AU

The woods at the back of Ben’s home goes dark and deep, and when he sets off into it after yet another argument with his father, he finds something, or rather, someone entirely unexpected bleeding in a hunter’s trap. He takes the stranger home and tends to his wounds. By the next morning, the man is gone. 

Yet there are trinkets left on his doorstep, flowers where there were none before, and the faint scent of pine and sweet honey in the air. When the man reappears, he speaks of debts to be paid and thanks to be given, and offers to show Ben a world he has never seen. 

When Ben’s parents return to their home two months later, they find their son has disappeared, never to be found again.
