    Summary

    A strange man appears behind mushrooms out of thin air, sporting facial features that wouldn't make sense on a good day, pointed ears and black eyes, dressed like he's going to a dinner party in the middle of the forest and changing the temperature with his mere arrival.

    This isn't a person at all. This is a faerie.

    ...oh, clouds, he's just taken something that belongs to a faerie. He just snapped at a member of the fae.

    [or: mumbo is a little too nosy for his own well-being. luckily, the fae that he stumbles across is more intrigued than malicious and terribly, terribly bored. title from in the woods somewhere by hozier.]

    Summary

    As sweet by any other name—and pricks all the same

    Most humans traveling through the woods treat fae with both fear and respect. When Scar meets a human who shows neither, he’s instantly fascinated. Unfortunately, he doesn’t know the first thing about interaction with humans, let alone human courtship—so Scar settles on pestering the odd traveler to try and steal his name. That’s close enough, right?

    Summary

    It wasn't too bad, really. After a while you learn to ignore the pain in your stomach, or the dizziness when you stand, or the hollow pits around your eyes. You keep your head down, tough it out, and eventually spring will come. Usually.

    Or, Grian is a starving fisherman that stumbles upon Scar’s court

    Summary

    Throughout his life Grian's always hid his status as a shapeshifter, in fact he frequently wished that he wasn't one, that he had a stable an consistent form just like everyone else. One day The Watchers, in their endless cruelty, granted his wish in the worst possible way before forcing him into solitude for far too long for him to keep track. Now once again faced with players in the previously empty world, Grian really has no idea what to do.
