So after 14 months, I finally write a tale about SCP-3903. If you haven't read it, be sure to click the link in the main article.

As some may point out, the 'What if I fall?/But Darling, what if you fly?' line is not original to me but an aphorism that's been floating around for a while and has become associated with Fairies and Peter Pan. It just seemed appropriate here.

This was originally supposed to be standalone tale, but the ending was a little low-key so now the end sets up a sequel set in my main Canon. No draft yet exists, and no idea when it will come out.

I'm glad to see more Fae lore's been popping up on the site recently, and I'm equally glad to contribute to it.

Thanks to my Beta readers: DrLycus, GabrielJade, Mayoculpa, Pecan, Strombreath, and XilasCrowe.

Specials Thanks to Peppersghost for writing SCP-4000 in the first place. It seems I'm riding his coattails yet again.

And of course, Merry December 23rd to all!

Ah, I knew it was just a matter of time before out cunicular friend showed his face in a tale or two. Great job, Chandra! I especially enjoyed the dialogue exchange between the sisters and Japers. Easy +1 from me.

Upvoted with gusto. I'm so excited that the wiki is exploring fairy lore nowadays, and I'm excited that the new Dr. Japers is getting more exploration. Also I feel like a real contributor now that someone has backlinked my writing.

The setting was beautifully vivid, and as always, your incorporating of and developing on others' works is top-notch. I'm dying to see this continued.

Reconciling various canons

I really like how this tale ties the various Fae together. It's not entirely necessary, but it does make this a very satisfying read. The characters are great too.

My biggest criticism is how forgiving they were to somebody who followed an insane, murderous Queen, and comitted war crimes. But they forgive him nor hold no bad feelings because he didn't cause any conflict with his own kind? And it was enemies against the fae? That seems a bit one-sided and narrow-minded. But that is me, so I don't know.
