Bytes Bite, And So Do Fairies

by Alexa Grave

I wonder if this is what a gnome tripping on unicorn hairs feels like.

As usual, Grinka the sea nymph can’t catch a break. She simply wants to publish her novel. Unfortunately, the two fairy thorns in her side mess with her computer. Too bad they’re immortal and can’t meet the same demise as the innumerable fairies in her book.

If that isn’t enough of a plague, Grinka’s sister Raina pops in from the Immortal World, bringing the first immortal virus with her. And now, Grinka is quarantined in her room with the two fairy nitwits.

Will she survive to hit publish, or will the rainbows and fairies win?

I can guess that some of the inspiration came from the oddly godparents, who are just being annoying and mischief like in the show, and I never liked the oddly godparents. It's a good short story and I want to know more about the characters and about their pasts like why Grinka and the giant are in the mortal world and their personal life, but that might also stand in the previous short stories, I have sadly only read this one in the series. Looking forward to the continue.
