Miles A. Bennett

Elliot never meant to stumble into a fairytale. One careless step through a hollow tree, and suddenly he’s in a place where rabbits button their waistcoats, trolls charge bedtime stories as tolls, and the fruit won’t stop singing.

He’s not wandering it alone. Tasked with a quest he never asked for, Elliot is saddled with Roland the kingdom’s supposed hero who’d rather nap in the shade than lift a sword. Their unlikely party includes a bossy chicken and a cursed scroll that hums like it has a deadline. Together they tumble through disasters both absurd and dangerous: mud puddles that swallow boots whole, officials who won’t budge without proper stamps, riddles sharp enough to undo them.

Somewhere in the middle of it, the humor softens. Shared whispers under the stars, careful steps across swaying bridges, and kindness where neither expected it. Elliot realizes Roland isn’t the hero the songs promised. He’s something else someone who sees him, someone who stays.

In a world that twists every rule, can two misfits hold on to what’s real before the tale rewrites itself?

Part of the Otherworldly Hearts series, this story brings its own magical twist to love and laughter.

Otherworldly Hearts proves romance can bloom anywhere through time, across magic, even out among the stars. This clean MM romcom series pairs oddball characters with laugh-out-loud disasters and tender connections in worlds where the impossible feels almost ordinary.

Spells backfire, ghosts meddle, shifters wrestle instincts they’d rather ignore, and aliens stumble their way through the messy art of love. Each standalone story mixes comedy, warmth, and a romance that stays sweet but never boring.

Sometimes the strangest places lead to the most unexpected happily ever afters.
