the fairy fort

Summary:

the legend of the changeling is one of much misinterpretation. for the changeling is no replacement, but a fey born to humans. not an imposter, not broken, not better, not inferior, just of a different kind.
or: making changelings even more of an autistic symbol than they already were! yes, this is a metaphor for being autistic.

Chapter Text

once upon a time, deep in the woods, lived the fey, who were said to be child thieves, amoral monsters, beings with no emotion or empathy. however the truth was quite more varied. and for some fey, the exact opposite.
"NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO." bigb sobbed at the death of such a beautiful creature. "NOT THE BEE!" ren stood by his side. "the world be cruel my friend. this bee hath done no sins to deserve the fate it's suffered." the two of them stared at the dead bee stuck in flypaper. "rest easy now sweet creature." the two of them walked back to the fairy fort when- "be on watch my friend. look. blackberries. your bane." bigb steered around the fruit that would bring him pain and illness. "thank you!" arriving back at the fort, the two men entered the room to be faced with the queen. "WHERE WHERE YOU TWO?!?" ren immediately kneeled to his lady of shadows. "apologies your majesty but, there were blackberries, and a dead bee, so we were delayed in returning with the milk and honey for tonights supper." queen lizzie nodded. "that's fair, i was just worried. you promised you'd be back in an hour, and you've been gone for an hour and 15 minutes. that's an hour and a quarter." the two men nodded. "sorry queen lizzie." "apologies my lady."
lizzie smiled affectionately at her knights. were they massive dorks, but so was she sometimes. besides. they were her dorks. "ok, you two get up and go help martyn make dinner." the two men nodded and ran off.

Notes:

so basically, in this universe, fey are just a subset of humans, and changelings like the fairy fort are just fey born to non fey. fey all have different weaknesses and strengths, much like humans, but are often misunderstood and misinterpreted.
