It is indeed!

It was presented as a prize for the contest for BA that ran early this year, and will be one of the prizes in future contests. (Contest posts)

Of course, not everyone likes to participate in contests, so if anyone ever wants to do a trade, feel free to message me! It will depend on finances at the time whether I accept the trade or not, but I know some of you out there would love to have a copy, and since it’s fanfiction it won’t ever be for sale and I’d love to help get it to you!

Nixie would be very curious about these earthbound sprites! They’re so very different than her and her sisters. There’s men, for one thing. They have babies, instead of being born from their element (I can imagine the confusion when an aeternum water sprite runs into an earthbound water sprite like kadmianika greyfin).

Earthbound sprites also have a better grasp on the language found on earth, as Nixie still resorts to her descriptions when she can’t find the right words for what she’s talking about. She’s an empath like Rischa, and would love to take the little sprite under her wings to teach her new ways of using that empathy. Though aeternum sprites lean towards the more controlling aspects of their powers, unlike the earthbound sprites.

Bowman and Nixie would be wary of each other. He’s a male sprite, and she’s got dragonfly wings instead of the butterfly fins of a water sprite! It’s needlessly confusing. Why the Aeternum sprites need to call themselves sprites would probably baffle Bowman. They’re hardly like the sprites he knows at all!

He’d also be very miffed to find out how fast they are. He worked hard to get his top speed, and they can go much faster thanks to their magic. It’s not fair!

I’m pretty skittish, so I’d probably freeze right up if I saw them in my house. Dean would be dragging Sam out as fast as he can, ushering his little brother into the walls. I’m sure they’d have Jacob close by, so I’d have to keep an eye out for really tall lurkers wearing hoodies who are trying to be sneaky (Dean’s making him work on that).

Mostly, they just take efforts to keep the bugs out of their own supplies. Cockroaches wouldn’t bother them much, but if the population of cockroaches grows too large, they’ll have to make efforts to reduce it so the humans don’t call pest control. Everyone would be at risk if that happened. Out in the wild, the small folk would just ignore the cockroaches and the cockroaches would ignore them in turn. To each their own.
