Enthralling piece. Sure it was short but somehow bundled with the right ingredients.

What a magical story! It was sweet and charming with delightful touches of humour hidden in unexpected places.

I'm not normally one for fantasy stories but I really enjoyed this short. The author implied this isn't the end for these two and I'd be interested to read more.

The Book Report: Aeron the faerie is not his father's favorite child. Aeron is a faerie screw-up, little loved, and little loving of his fellow fae. One fine day, the voice he's heard in his head since childhood grows so loud that he can't ignore it anymore, and he follows it into the mortal realm.
There he meets Tam, a priest and the owner of the voice, who has summoned Aeron from Faerie to the mortal world with a binding spell.
Except he didn't know that's what he was doing. And he completely freaks when he sees Aeron.
Aeron spends a week in a tree, waiting for Tam to invite him in from the cold, and when Tam finally does, the boys are kept apart by Aeron's fury and Tam's guilt at summoning Aeron against his will. However, as both are comely lads and inclined to favor the male gender, things take their due course and the consummation devoutly to be desired occurs. Yay!
No! Because in the course of inter-, things are revealed that cause problems and big ones for Aeron. Once those are sorted out, assuming they can be, Aeron can be his own man...errrmmm, faerie...and then who knows? Will he choose to return to Tam?
My Review: One entire star off for heavy-handed vegetarian silliness.
I don't normally like phauntaisee, as anyone who has read my reviews will recall. The appeal here is the sheer delight of wingsex. (Read it, I ain't explainin' in public.)
The author's polished prose pleased my mental ear, and her inventive riffs on the prompt she got from the contest were beautifully done. If she'd left out the vegetarian gubbins, I'd happily have given this effort four stars. Those who think and eat low on the foodchain will no doubt overlook this disrespect for the work and effort of our ancestral humans, but I take a stand against the foolishness.
At all events, a pleasant 17,000 words, and more will come, I feel sure.

I'm always eager to read a story in which a fairy comes to the human world, and this one is my favorite I've read so far. The fairy world was strange, dreamlike, and not easy to understand at first, and I admire the way those aspects of the story were written, because for me part of the appeal of this kind of work is that it's about a creature that really is inhuman. The fairy and his world weren't monstrous in any way; they were lovely, just very strange. The human character, a sweet young witch, was also wonderfully written. The sex in this story was incredibly hot, and the plot was excellent, with a certain amount of angst. I'm looking forward to reading more from this author.
