Prologue:
AJ Weird was one of the most eligible young men in Hammerspace. As the king's youngest grandson, he had high status yet little responsibility. He was also a prodigy in dimensional manipulation, exceeding many of his peers. He was also that right amount of socially awkward. To say he was popular with the ladies would be an understatement. To them, he was a god. To him, sadly, they were a nuisance.
AJ found flirting draining and irritating. Many hours of his life he felt were wasted on small talk that did amount to anything when he could be having intelligent conversations with his father's friends and associates. Sometimes he wished he could just propose to his younger cousin, but that would just create more problems.
Needless to say, AJ dreaded Valentine's Day, but one day that changed when a troubled pony came to his doorstep.
