Written by the same author who wrote the Rise of the Guardians fanfic duology Shadows And Light, Fae Tales is a series of original dark fantasy/explicit erotica featuring, well, fae. Characters and worldbuilding first featuring as supporting cast and antagonists in SaL have more than taken on a life of their own.Gwyn ap Nudd, renowned warrior and king of the Seelie Court, and Augus Each Uisge, Unseelie predatory waterhorse, should have had nothing to do with each other: Seelie and Unseelie, on opposite sides of a terrible conflict. But dark secrets, ancient grudges, and a growing understanding come together to change the course of events throughout the fae realms.The series currently comprises five major novel-length works, a novella, various short stories, and more in-progress writings yet to be released. The lists below are not complete; take a look at the author's pages on Archive of Our Own yourself.The primary works in the series are: | |

Single Specimen Species: This is what waterhorses such as the Each Uisge are, and it's justified as they are reborn when they die. | |

"Well Done, Son" Guy | |
| Fae Tales / int_1779f10e | comment |
"Well Done, Son" Guy: Gwyn will likely never entirely stop wishing for his parents' love and approval, even though he knows the truth is that they insisted on hating him for things he can't change and that aren't actually his fault. | |

| Fae Tales / int_1a237409 | comment |
Order Versus Chaos: The difference in outlook between the Seelie and Unseelie Courts; the former concern themselves greatly with rules, honesty, and beauty, while the latter disdain rules, placing more importance on loyalty to one's own nature, no matter how ugly or predatory. | |

The Heart: Ash puts his glamour to good use soothing the tensions that tend to build up among the Unseelie fae at court....though ironically not serving this role among the actual core group for a good part of the story. He gets better. | |

Hereditary Curse | |
| Fae Tales / int_28bbbe24 | comment |
Hereditary Curse: Mentioned in Game Theory and expanded on much further in The Curse, the An Fnwy line was supposedly cursed with a predisposition towards extreme cruelty, a Mage's curse meant to eventually extinguish the lineage; now that Gwyn, who is sterile, is the Last of His Kind, consensus is that the curse has been fulfilled. | |

Curse | |

Curse: A set of powerful curses on Mosk prevented him from speaking about what happened to him; not even the gifted Court Mage Fenwrel could touch them without triggering backlash. | |

Hoist by His Own Petard: How Davix was killed - the magical working he was performing was turned against him by the victim of said working. He was trying to siphon Mosk's heartsong and the anchor of his power; the magical connection allowed Mosk to reach across and tear Davix's magic out of him, unleashing the ice plague. | |

Our Souls Are Different | |
| Fae Tales / int_e294a0be | comment |
Our Souls Are Different: Each fae has a heartsong, a core concept (such as dominance or perception) that defines their personality and motivations. It's by no means permanent, being vulnerable to traumatic events/choices that run counter to the fae's heartsong, and can even be consciously shaped. | |

Society of Immortals | |
| Fae Tales / int_e6d4b4e6 | comment |
Society of Immortals: The fae, in general. The Ageless: They even get to choose when they want to freeze their physical age at, with most naturally opting to remain in the prime of their life; exceptions are notable. Immortal Immaturity: As part of their extremely long lifespans, the fae experience a lengthy childhood and adolescence, with the average fae only able to be considered mentally mature at about two to three centuries. Immortality Bisexuality: Gwyn is actually unusual for being strictly gay. Immortal Procreation Clause: Many species of fae (such as common fae like Gwyn's family) have a very low birth rate, while some others (such as waterhorses like Augus) cannot reproduce at all. | |

Heal It With Fire: Gwyn inadvertently summons Kabiri, a god of fire, while praying for help making a fire to treat a badly infected arrow wound. Kabiri puts his own hand into the flames and stabs into the wound to disinfect it. Deconstructed in that the infection is cleared and Gwyn survives, but he badly damages the nerves in Gwyn's shoulder while doing so, causing disfigurement and pain that will never fully go away. | |
