Thinking real hard about producing a lovingly smutty story that's very very loosely based on The Velveteen Rabbit.
a lot of fae shenanigans involved.
I had the idea for this very scampy fay kitsune-y/will 'o' wisp-y lad, and the image I hade of him in my head was very similar to what Swindle looks like. I rolled with it anyways, taking Cinder/Swindle out of his dnd context feels wrong and bad. So this is a different character entirely, despite appearing very similar. Significantly different personality, this lad is pure fun-loving scamp and no snarky bitterness.
