Title: hope chest
Rating: PG
Summary: Amandine's mother and the choice between parents every faerie child must make. Spoilers for The Winter Long.
Pairings: Amandine's mother/Oberon.
Warnings: None.
Word Count: 115
Cate dreamed one night of Faerie King and Queens,
and in nine months bore twins, both girls. She named
the elder Ailsa, younger Amandine.
In three short years, a handsome man proclaimed
himself Cate's daughters' father—not husband dear—
and said to both, "It's time for you to choose
whose child you are," and Cate began to fear.
When Amandine ran to him, Cate accused
the man of heartless things; he said, "The fate
of kings is to be so," and showed a chest.
Small Amy chose the man, and Ailsa Cate;
the man took Ailsa's tiny hand and pressed
it to the wood, and loudly Ailsa screamed.
Of mortal Cate and Ailsa, Amy dreamed.
