A seasonal story

Prompt pieces in a high fantasy setting:
Teague Imlach is a young wizard. He's been brought up isolated on the mages' island since he was a toddler and is a bit awkward as a result. Now he discovers friendship for the first time. There is much to unearth from a person's past as you get to know them, especially if they have seen war, the edge of the known world, and lived a full life before you were even born.
And maybe there are different kinds of friendship.

Halloween. A night for trick or treating. A night for fun and parties. A night for the creatures of the dark to come out and play. A night for romance? Meet Alexander, a half wood sprite out for a little fun, not expecting a vampire named Antonin to take an interest in him. Watch their journy through lust, love, tragedy and both of their pasts as they work together towards their happiness as consort and mate.
