Fey with benefits
I wonder what those creatures that demand your first born do if you’re a virgin forever. Or if you’re gay. 🤔
Oh that’s easy, they secretly hook you up with someone really perfect for you, you have a great kid, and then the love of your life has a stroke and their personality does a 180°, tearing your whole dream family apart as the fey returns and offers to let you keep just one family member, and then you fail to realize the deal includes yourself and you’ve unwittingly sacrificed all your cognitive abilities and memories while your daughter’s life gets ruined as she spends her best years taking care of her madman father with no hope for a better life.
I know it’s trite to say “calm down Satan”, but, calm down Satan. You’ve captured the spirit of a Fae deal really well.
It’s times like this that I’m glad it was my wife’s left side of the brain that got nuked by her strokes, instead of the right.
A tale as old as time itself: the “bard finds himself in the Baewild, and…”
“Careless Whisper” plays on pan flute
I don’t know if I can say this “awakened” something in me because I was well aware of it but. Where is the rest of the story OP.
