Faërie ~ Faelings

The Treebard Fairy Quuen banishes the disobedient fae to the hole below the ocean.
Faeries here still cross into our world, by climbing
flying
or swimming on the branches of the light the darkness in the water.
From there the sinkhole extends and crosses until it swallows the earth from the other side.
In the middle of the forest, the banished fae were free to return
They either pushed everyone out
or people were too afraid to approach them, so they departed

The Gàeldīn became the new name for that corrupted patch of forest.

Soon the Faelings had their own queen
This is what happens when they are left to their own devices.

She is a reflection of her people
But with the haunting beauty of a female animal

She grew to an abnormal height
A tall fairy among her people
but lacking thickness in the thighs, no birthing allowed for her
Almost a death sentence for a treebard fairy
Her body is brown all over, with a pale-cream underbelly
like an animal
a sweet, sweet lion, sheep or hare
her horns are a darker shade of her exterior color, curved perfectly like as if they had been sanded into shape.

She has no eyes on most days
Staring right into the sun, screaming at it with all the internal rage
The sun reinvigorates her eyes.
black cream and goop dither outward and stream down cold cheeks when she isn’t feeling bad

This form is not reflected in her people
Instead they walk around with things missing
Missing lower jaws, mouthless faeries scaring anyone who doesn’t look beyond exterior faults
Missing lower arms, a missing eye—or two—more than one thing can go missing

“You deteriorate the longer you stay around this corruption.”
This is the punishment
But
Truth is
These particular Fae deteriorate when they are not around love and happiness
They will lose limbs and organs regardless in the face of corruption
But, with love they will last forever
They just need and want an outsider to show them love

Their throats slide open, tendrils poking out and eager to see you
Don’t hurt him!
He is the last thing you need to run away from

A faerie takes this frightened, wandering boy deeper into the forest

“I will be your father now.”

And one last thing to post. A while ago, we posted about our short little novella thing that we turned in for our senior thesis project. Here is the link again, if anyone wishes to read it. If you are into fantasy sapphic faerie romance, give it a spin. Enjoy!

Glastonbury Fairies: Ancient Lore of Powerful Otherworldly Beings #glastonburytor #fairy #faeries

Winding of the Fae #1

Wind and wind and wind

Until the world has been wound

It is a job for a Faerie to wind the branches of the fir tree

It is the job of the dragons to wind the sun

Wind and wind and wind

Until all branches are tied

Wind their legs

Wind their arms

Wind their wings

Wind a fairy until they are tied

Wind and wind and wind

Until all limbs are wound

Sing the song, Sublime Reaction, until all limbs are wound

Sacrifice to the fir tree and unwind it’s branches

In the harrowing of daytime,

Where sunlight strikes through trees like a double-edged knife,

Wind

You start to wind

You guide the branches of the tree as you turn your hands like a swivel

Wind and wind and wind

Until all trees are “wund”

Wund, not wound

Wind and wind and wind,

‘tis a job for a faerie

And a faerie, nothing more

She is alien like all the rest

He is alien like all the rest.

The fairy pictured calls herself the Whole Numbers Fairy. A mathematician and proficient in fairy math, she stayed in Lindendale after its construction, and later moved to Elf city, Salvedmirar (also known as Savladamir).

The most momentous news we have to share though, is about our book. Our senior thesis is finally complete. We had to write a novel, and we finally completed it.
It is the length of a novella but we are so proud of it! it is a first draf and we've never written a book before. It was a labor of love and hate and everything in between.
So, if you want to read a romantasy book full of sapphic faeries, message us! We'd be happy to send the book over!

The Winding of the Faë #2

Wind and wind and wind
Until the world has been wound
It is a job for a Faerie to wind the branches of the fir tree
It is the job of the dragons to wind the sun
Wind and wind and wind and wind
Until all branches are tied and bound

Wind their legs
Wind their arms
Wind their wings
Wind a Fae until they are wound into your mold

Wind the Faë into your mold
Sacrifice to the fir tree
In the harrowing daytime, the Faë holds a double edged knife
She holds your head on her plate

Unto the storm between the twining trees
Into the day, riding faster than a bullet from the pistol
She is alien like all the rest
You turn your hands like a swivel like you’re told
Wind until all limbs are clean.

Wind and wind and wind
Until all limbs are wound
In the traffic of the crowded cars,
Sing the song, Sublime Reaction, until all limbs are wound
Sacrifice to the fir tree and unwind it’s branches
     (in the traffic of the cars)
In the harrowing of daytime,
Where sunlight strikes through trees like a double edged knife,
Wind
You start to wind
You guide the branches of the tree as you told

You guide the branches of the tree as turn your hands like a swivel
Wind and wind and wind
Until all trees are ‘wund’
Wund, not wound
Wind and wind and wind,
‘tis a job for a faerie
And a faerie, nothing more

Wind the Faë into your mold
Tie the hands of the sacred dragonboy
In the harrowing dreams of ending time, the boy holds a knife double edged

Into the lake and beyond the seastorm
Into the day, riding faster than a bullet from the pistol
He is alien like all the rest
You turn your hands like a swivel like you’re told
Wind until all limbs are dead.

Bind the Faë into your mold
Give the boy to the fir tree
In the harrowing dreams of ending time, the boy holds a knife double edged
He holds your head on her plate

Unto the storm between the twining trees
Into the day, riding faster than a bullet from the pistol
You turn your hands like a swivel crown because you’re told
Wind until all limbs are clean.
       Wind the sacred dragonboys until they are wound into your mold.

She is alien like all the rest
He is alien like all the rest.

Author Notes: In this poem, Winding is the term for treating someone good. Binding is a term for tying them up upside down. Don’t get them confused.

Faeries and demons share parallels in their supernatural abilities, moral ambiguity, and relationships with humans. The historical intertwining and distinctions between these creatures reveal their enduring allure and danger. #faeries #demons https://connectparanormal.net/2024/06/07/faeries-and-demons-dark-bargains/

Faerie abductions are rooted in folklore, depicting faeries as powerful beings that inhabit a hidden realm. Historical accounts recount mysterious disappearances and altered perceptions of time. #faeries #fairy https://connectparanormal.net/2025/10/14/exploring-faerie-abductions-in-folklore/

Fae folk have been a part of human culture for a long time, showing up in myths, legends, and folklore from many different cultures. These magical beings are very much a part of the natural world. #faeries #fairy #fae https://fairyland.blog/post/796744185822789632/where-to-find-fairies

I've tried this before with minimal success, trying again.

Looking for a story (any medium) with a well-characterized faerie character (the little winged kind, not the fae folk). NOT the Tinkerbell-Disney type. Preferably not someone's comic relief sidekick (unless they're genuinely funny, I guess.)

Actually has a personality and a major role. Full spectrum from heroic to malicious. Gnomes, pixies, and sprites need not apply*

We were very quiet on to-day's #DogWalk, and were lucky enough to chance upon a wood faerie, nestling in the crack of a beech tree. We left just as quietly, so as not to interrupt her important work.

I don't like my leaf veins on the centre leaf, but I think I'm just going to say the faerie bed is done.

It's a combination of woodburning, sewing, and painting (fabric paints used on parts of each leaf).

Hopefully, NJ will be fine with it. She asked me to make this, but she's not in a faerie phase, so I should be safe.
