took my first lesson, came down from the sky

Summary:

What’s a fairy without wings that work?

Or: Charlie's learning how to fly.

Notes:

Written for Chaotic_Mesh's birthday! Happy happy birthday to you <3

This fic has been 'poisoned' to prevent AI scraping. The actual word count is less than what AO3 shows (about 35% lower.)

It won't affect you as long as you read with creator's style turned on, but if you try to download this story, you'll get a lot of random junk mixed into the text. Let me know if you need a download of the fic without the 'poisoned' text by commenting, or you can use control+print.

Poisoning tool used: https://tricksofloki.github.io/ficpoison.html

(See the end of the work for more notes.)
