Due to a recent encounter, I have been thinking about boundaries and friendships and dating.
And, because I’m me, I’m thinking about this through the lens of stories.
It makes me want, more than usual (which is already a lot), to be like a fae.
I want the rules to be written in books and taught to children in rhymes. I want the knowledge to be a warning.
I want all the tricks and traps to be spoken aloud. I want all the spikes to be worn on the outside.
I want to know that if you consume more than I offer, that there will be consequences
I want you to remember to *ask* if what you take is freely given.
I want you to *need* to ask.
I want you to wear cold iron in a bottle round your neck and
when you break it
I know all treaties we’ve made are null and void.
I would like you to be able to hang a horseshoe on the door
and know that you are safe.
I want to know that if the time comes that I must leave
all I have to do is find my selkie skin, regrow my tail
and swim away.

Techno-fairies show up a lot in fiction really
There’s The Many-Colored Land, Artemis Fowl, that one Pratchett and Baxter teamed up on if you squint, kinda, the Stross book where they blew up Yorkshire and one of them hooked up with the vampire, I think there’s an SCP story about them but it’s been a while
Warhammer has them
I suppose, to tie it into my blog’s actual purpose for a moment, there might be a connection with stuff like Shaver’s Dero, Vril, the whole aliens-and-saucers-as-modern-fairy-myth thing, etc. MCL and that one Laundry book were pretty explicit about that, maybe Fowl too I haven’t read those in years
