fae court but it's a legal court, changelings are fae they leave in place of human jurors during the trial because it's the best way to prevent the trial from just becoming a bunch of fairies trying to one up the best bargain for their vote with the accused
#now this could be funny or concerning based on how much time a trial actually takes#but i think it would be funny if fairies had a constitutional right to NOT be tried by their peers (aka other fairies) so that they didn't#have to incur debt to get a fair ruling)#and also if. fairies had a constitution.#but also this means fae get jury duty letters too. or more accurately changeling duty let's#*letters#or maybe some fae are career changelings that just are good at acting human and so the court pays them to do it full time#maybe it's both like a big city can afford court appointed career changelings#but it smaller counties with less resources well. it's changeling duty time#'pocket why are you thinking so much about jury duty' because i was trying to think of funny places to say you met your spouse#(because i just learned something funny about a relative lol)#and 'oh yeah we met at jury duty' popped into my head#so now I've been thinking about it. like is this an established trope in romance circles? i could see it but dunno myself#and also thinking about how i have got to get that jury duty experience approved for my students so many of them don't know....#and then the fae court fic I'm reading in the background bled in#probably fed by that one post that's like small claims fae court#and now. considering the systems of government that would be in place to allow these scenarios fbchvjm#... o need to go to be#bed
