Ellis wasn’t like the other fairies. They were flighty things, prone to bouts of whim and mercurial moods, just as likely to help you as they were to hinder. All in the name of fun, of course. Ellis was different.Stoic and rarely smiling, he was subdued for a fairy. He didn’t care for the pranks of the others or their ridiculous games. When his thistle flower home was destroyed, he made a new home near a human that was just as different as himself. He was wary at first, this was a human after all, but quickly realised they were much the same. It was almost like owning a pet.Who wanted a pretty but dumb bird as a pet when one could have this odd but endearing human?And when disaster strikes, Ellis would give everything to see his human safe. 13,000~ word short story with a HEA.
