PSA: “fae” is an umbrella term. The Fae taking your name could result in any number of things. They could replace you in the human world, lure you into the fae realm, compel you to do their bidding, curse you in some way, etc. They could do nothing! Or very much the opposite! It’s largely dependent on their individual abilities and proclivities! Giving the fae your name doesn’t 100% mean that they “own” you or can bend you to their will, but it’s never a great idea to risk it.

“In old tales people who had seen the Fair Folk dancing in the moonlight and been drawn into that dance, had returned from what seemed a night’s frolic to find all their friends and kin long dead.”

The faeries link hands as they fly o’er the pool, sometimes pausing to gaze at their image in the waters. The evening air is thick with magic.
