Fairy Compacts #1
The Dangers of Fairy Compacts
Dear Author,
I was curious when I felt the summons across the Ways between the human world and faerie realm. When the pathway opened, I followed the stone walkway through to his world, disregarding the rules that had been taught to me from childhood. I knew I was supposed to let one of the Court advisors know, but the magic called to me.
The priest who summoned me ran when I appeared; I don’t think he expected his ritual to work. I followed the scent of his magic until I bounced off his wards. His home is protected against all spirits, including me, keeping me away from the warmth of his hearth. He leaves each morning and returns in the late afternoon, often staring into the woods where he must feel my presence. I’m stuck here, sitting on a branch, counting the hours until he comes home again and praying that today is the day he’ll offer an invitation of hospitality after demanding my presence.
Until he dismisses the call, I am bound to him. His voice though—I’ve heard it before in my dreams. I think I’ve always been bound to him.
Photo Description: A lonely fairy sitting on a tree-branch in a dark forest.

The Book Report: Aeron the faerie is not his father's favorite child. Aeron is a faerie screw-up, little loved, and little loving of his fellow fae. One fine day, the voice he's heard in his head since childhood grows so loud that he can't ignore it anymore, and he follows it into the mortal realm.
There he meets Tam, a priest and the owner of the voice, who has summoned Aeron from Faerie to the mortal world with a binding spell.
Except he didn't know that's what he was doing. And he completely freaks when he sees Aeron.
Aeron spends a week in a tree, waiting for Tam to invite him in from the cold, and when Tam finally does, the boys are kept apart by Aeron's fury and Tam's guilt at summoning Aeron against his will. However, as both are comely lads and inclined to favor the male gender, things take their due course and the consummation devoutly to be desired occurs. Yay!
No! Because in the course of inter-, things are revealed that cause problems and big ones for Aeron. Once those are sorted out, assuming they can be, Aeron can be his own man...errrmmm, faerie...and then who knows? Will he choose to return to Tam?
My Review: One entire star off for heavy-handed vegetarian silliness.
I don't normally like phauntaisee, as anyone who has read my reviews will recall. The appeal here is the sheer delight of wingsex. (Read it, I ain't explainin' in public.)
The author's polished prose pleased my mental ear, and her inventive riffs on the prompt she got from the contest were beautifully done. If she'd left out the vegetarian gubbins, I'd happily have given this effort four stars. Those who think and eat low on the foodchain will no doubt overlook this disrespect for the work and effort of our ancestral humans, but I take a stand against the foolishness.
At all events, a pleasant 17,000 words, and more will come, I feel sure.

How doesn't everyone love this story?
Beware of gushing; I'll try to keep this a short adjective-based review so as not to overwhelm you with my feelings of joy.
The setting was atmospheric and enchanting, the characters were wonderfully portrayed, sweet, sarcastic and lovable, their interactions were funny and romantic, the mystery part was interesting, intriguing and satisfying, the ending was oh-so-fucking-romantic and funny, too, and the sex (OMFG wingsex) was top notch, grade A and first class.
Despite all the repetitions of "sweet" and "romantic", the dry, clean writing turned what could have been saccharine into an utter delight.
There.
Gotta go hunt for the sequel now.

FIRST RE-READ 29 July 2015
Just finished my first re-read of this because there's now a #3! And I love that I still loved this just as much as I did the first time through. I still just adore Aeron, his sass and his snark are delightful. On to re-read #2!
Some Favorite Quotes:
How to express the sheer, unmitigated horror in this limited tongue?
(she never ate carcass, thankfully)
It was comforting to think something good had come of it... but it should be theirs.
ORIGINAL REVIEW 4 July 2012
I thoroughly enjoyed this story! I loved that there were elements that I'd not ever seen before:
--magic has a smell, and every magical being has a unique scent to their magic
--the feelers on the ends of Aeron's wings that help him detect scents
I also loved the way elements I'd seen before were described or handled in delightful new ways:
--Aeron's wings
--Aeron helping Tam communicate more effectively with the trees
--the bonding spell, and how they'd been hearing each others' voices in their heads for the past 20 years
--Tam's fear that the bonding spell somehow took away Aeron's free will
--Aeron's vegetarianism, and how he refers to animals in food as corpses or carcass--I do the same thing, so it cracked me up!
LOVED all of those things. I loved feeling like I was in a world that felt fresh and new and exciting and that I'd not been there before.
While it was fascinating that so much attention was given to how things smelled, I wish more attention were given to how things looked. I wish I were able to picture what Tam's house looked like, or what the forest looked like. The only place that I have even a vague idea of is Kamala's house and the "room made of books." I LOVED how that was described.
Overall, I loved this story, and I'm excited by the hints that there will be more of Tam and Aeron in the future!

For whatever reason (primarily because I just stumbled across this free read) I had rather mediocre hopes when I started this story. Quite happily, the author quickly took those expectations and stomped them into the ground, then jumped on them for good measure. Low expectations properly destroyed, I very much liked this story about a romance between a fairy and a mendicant cleric. When the humble cleric accidentally (kind of) summons the fairy, he finds himself temporarily stuck with the summonee.
I found this story to be entertaining, not too sweet, not so angsty. Perfectly enjoyable. I'm glad I picked it up and I will be looking for other works from this author.
That said, lets get to the good stuff. Wingsex!

Cute and short and sweet. I liked the voice of the narrator.
A quick, warm read in an otherwise dull day for me.

3.5 stars First of all, kudos for the perfectly matched story to fit that beautiful picture, great job Ms. Hawthorne. This was a fun and light read. It certainly could have been longer and shown us more of Aeron's world in faerie, including what went on with his father and the compact at the end. But it wasn't necessary. This made it short and sweet, and more about Aeron and Tam than anything else. Looks like she turned this into a trilogy, next one is Life as a Fairy Thrall, out in September 2012!
October 31, 2013
It was a nice story.
Sadly I got lost trying to understand if the human world resembled reality and how exactly the fairy world was constructed. And then I couldn't really get a feel for Aeron and Tam. They were nicely shaped out but I didn't connect. So I read this from far away. The attraction and sex seemed to come out of nowhere as there wasn't much time for the characters to know each other, or even spend some time together. I wondered what relationship existed between Kamala and Tammas, why she would help him. One thing that I really liked was the original idea of making the wings an important part in the foreplay. Made for quite an attractive image.
So yea, bottom line, I wasn't comfortable in the world depicted here, thus a somewhat reserved feel for the overall story.

What a magical story! It was sweet and charming with delightful touches of humour hidden in unexpected places.

After reading this novella by Katey Hawthorne I will be adding her up near the top of my list of favorite authors and also will be devouring all the other books she has written thus far! For the longest time I shunned all shortfiction on the principle that if I was going to read something I wanted it to be substantial enough to provide hours if not days of enjoyment. I just assumed that even if a short story, novelette or novella were of the highest quality; due to the brevity of it I would always end up feeling the piece was incomplete and thus totally frustrated since the author might never add more to that particular creation. Well thankfully the purchase of my first tablet and the the huge amount of free reads and 99cent or 1.99 short fiction online soon had me willing to give shortfiction a chance. It did not take long to not onlyu disabuse me of my misconception but to swing me around 180 degrees to the point of not only eating up short fiction left and right. Not saying I still don't enjoy the longer stuff too cuz I most certainly do. However I have developed a huge amount of serious respect for those authors who can in so few words not only have me living the story, but do it so well that I am invested 100% in their characters lives and my emotion state is locked in with the ups and downs of the characters so I might crying tears of joy, heartbrake and yes I occassionally have been know to occasional outburst berating any character stupid enough to mess with the happiness of the character I have for a short timed become part of so of course I react accordingly. When an author can entwine one of their characters and the reader so very well they truly have created not only true art but have also allowed their readers to experience situations and cultures they may otherwise never encounter. THis where the warning that reading the work of the best writers may have consequences not all readers may appreciate or expect. I believe science fiction and fantasy have been especially usefull in at times lulling even the most closeminded, intolerant readers into reading something that insinuates itself deep inside and slowing starts cracking the walls and may over time open a closed mind to where perhaps the individual may finally begin to move toward the type of human that actually contributes something positive to humanity before they move on to the next level rather than wasting the resources and life seeking only to teardown the good others have worked on. OK enough philosopy and finally to the point. Katey has created a fully fleshed out setting and characters this novella, and done it so well that I will buying the next part of the story tonite or tomorrow as I NEED to know more about these interesting people and can't wait to watch and they and their relationship continue to evolve and grow. She crafts her words with such skill that I swear at times I could close my eyes and almost feel their touching each other as if they touched me. I also very much loved her use use of humor throughout the story and she had me chuckling throughout reading it and laughing out loud several times. By the end of the novella she had crafted the perfect balance of satisfaction with when we ended up; while also leaving me with the absolute necessity to pursue and discover the rest of Aeron and Tam's story as Katey reveals it to us. Some people may say our world is mundane and without magic and mundane. I beg to differ... we have millions of sorcerers; magicians and magic-wielders of many kinds. Katey is clearly one such person and talented and grabbing reader's imagination and feeding it till we see the story clearly and experience it even more personally than we could even if we had a holodeck from ST:TNG to use. Somehow I think experiencing it inside one's own head imparts an intimacy that most likely would be hard to match in any other way. Each time a discover another truely talented master at the weaving of words into magic I rejoice and cross my fingers that they may also be proficient at maining the magic as well as prolific in the creation of many more hours of enjoyment for myself and everyone else to discover their magic. Lastly, Just want to say THANKS to the author for this first of many awesome adventures she will lead us on.. Keep Up the good work... after all I am a fast reader which means I will soon have devoured everything created thus far.. and be looking for more... Just kidding.... I will be patient and enjoyed each new creation as it appears... after all each one is quite definitely worth the wait and deserving of revisiting time and time again... for the Lord of the Rings it has be 35 visits and counting; I am sure this particular story will find me visting quite often in the future for the simple joy of it alone.

Well written overall. Had an interesting story line.

An M/M read in the fantasy genre, especially one featuring MCs that are angels, is not one I would choose unless it was specifically called for in a reading challenge. That was the case with this book. I was pleasantly surprised with this sweet and whimsical short story. As for the sex scenes, the author's incorporation of angel wings as highly responsive erogenous zones made for some interesting reading. Not sexy exactly, but definitely interesting.
June 27, 2017
Not my usual fare. I tend to eyeroll at the way M/M interactions are written and so avoid the genre. The only reasons I opened it were the cover, and that it was free.
I'm glad I did. Perhaps because it wasn't written by someone looking to induce certain gratification from the readers, there was a real sweetness to everything. I thouroughly enjoyed the characters and the story itself, and will be reading the next installments.

3.5 stars out of 5
This was a good quick read. The slow building romance between Aeron and Tam was enjoyable to read about. I actually started getting upset with how Aeron's father treated him and was glad that the father's efforts backfired. I enjoyed reading this story and some of the emotions it pulled out of me.

Aeron is a faery who always hears a voice in his head. One day, the voice becomes louder than he can bear and he follows it all the way into the mortal realm.
He meets Tammas, a priest, who has unknowingly bound both of them together. Tammas is frightened and Aeron has nowhere to go, and finds himself angry and residing in a tree until he is finally invited into Tammas's home.
Aeron is stubborn and rather confident while Tammas is shy and unsure, but soon enough, despite their quarrels, an attraction forms. Will they ever break the binding spell? And what will happen when Aeron is sent back home? Will he and Tammas ever see each other again?
This is a short, sweet novella, and it was free when I downloaded it, which is a great bonus. It surpassed my expectations and despite its short length, I was pulled into the story and I learned so much about both Aeron and Tammas.
I love faeries and I love romance. Give me a shy, adorable human and a confident, stubborn faery and I am satisfied! This story did just that.
The romance took enough time to develop, but I wasn't kept waiting for too long. The erotic scenes were perfect and sweet, and in my opinion adorble, and the ending made me want to read more about Tammas and Aeron! I will definetly be reading more of this author's work in the future.
Overall, very cute and romantic. I appreciated this good quality, gay romance novella, and I recommend this to fans of gay romance, faeries, and short and sweet novellas.

When Aeron heard the summons from the mortal realm, he couldn't resist. The voice, the one that had been echoing through his dreams since he was just a boy, the one everyone thought meant he was going mad just like his mother, was real. And it was mortal.
Aeron stepped through the tear in the worldfabric to meet his destiny. Instead, he found a shy young forest-priest with halting speech and a ridiculous smile--who claimed to know absolutely nothing about why his voice had been stuck in Aeron's head for decades. Not to mention why they both have the strange feeling they've been bound, somehow, for a very long time.
Fairy Compacts is the story of two men, one fae, one mortal, who share a terrible history of which neither is aware. Whether or not their budding affection for one another can overcome the shock of finding out the truth, only time will tell. But this is for certain: one should never make fairy compacts.
They always end in tragedy. Usually for the mortal. But not always.

I'm always eager to read a story in which a fairy comes to the human world, and this one is my favorite I've read so far. The fairy world was strange, dreamlike, and not easy to understand at first, and I admire the way those aspects of the story were written, because for me part of the appeal of this kind of work is that it's about a creature that really is inhuman. The fairy and his world weren't monstrous in any way; they were lovely, just very strange. The human character, a sweet young witch, was also wonderfully written. The sex in this story was incredibly hot, and the plot was excellent, with a certain amount of angst. I'm looking forward to reading more from this author.

I'm going to be completely honest with you and say I was utterly gushing throughout the whole reading of this novella. I just don't see how anyone could not love this story.
It was really well done.
Did it have some minor typos and grammatical errors? Yes.
Was it horrific and jarring in any way? SURPRISINGLY NOT.
Will I read this story again? Are you kidding me? I started it over again already!
I need more of these silly boys in my life. Thank goodness this is a series. I don't know what I would have done if this was really the end...

Personally i thought it was a sweet story with the added conflict of why he was in the human world, but everything had resolved in the end. I feel that the ending ties everything up to me. But i found out there are more sequels coming so I hope it will be as good or even better than the original..

I loved the description of Aeron. And how he communes with the trees and the earth. Tammas was such a sweetie. I felt so sorry for them when they found out what their parents had done. And I was happy that Awle stayed with her brother.
I wish it hadn't been a short story. This one has possibilities :)

A short story on homosexuality, rejection, exploration, and coming out. It's about being alone in a crowd and finding acceptance in the strangest places. The story is funny, poignant, and well written. There is a touching sensitivity to the characters that sparks understanding. However, some love scenes were too sexually explicit i felt like yellling T.M.I.

This has to be my new number one story ever, and I normally hate reading, but I got threw this story in less than two hours. It was very exciting and passionate. The characters are very detailed and the story line left me wanting more. I seriously can't wait to read the next part in the series! I loved this story and I think a lot of others will aswell.

It was sweet, it was adorable, I'd apparently started it before and for some reason couldn't get through it but managed to this time, etc.
And holy crap was it dark. Waaay darker than I'd anticipated.
I still feel like the cover illustrations make both parties look like they're sworn enemies, but w/e.

Summonsed by accidental magic and freed by love.
I wonder what magic the author used to create this story and I wonder what it would smell like, (you have to read the book to understand)
I also loved the cover, simple but so evocative.

I liked the idea of this and the characters were cute. It was a bit confusing with the voices in each others heads. I didn't get that part, and the compact wasn't explained very well. I'd read more of her stories though.

I simply adored this story! I want it to be fleshed out into a 400 page book! Seriously I would buy it in a heartbeat.
The connection between the fairy and the cleric is amazing. I smiled as I read every word.

I'm not normally one for fantasy stories but I really enjoyed this short. The author implied this isn't the end for these two and I'd be interested to read more.
