fae au *deep sigh* (why am i doing this someone save me from myself)
okay but inseparables fae au. like hear me out.
so post ttss, maybe a year or so later.
jim has to go to london to prove that he's healthy and doing well to some circus bureaucrat whose very suspicious of him or shit idk and he wants to make himself look more "respectable" so that [bad thing] doesn't happen, including finding a temp fake female romantic partner.
so he just wishes for some help when he's by himself by a faerie ring or some shit and this fey dude shows up and is like "hey ill be ur fake wife if you give me the thing you value most" and jim is like hmmmmmmmm that's prolly my alvis but i've been thinking about getting a new car for a while so it'll be good right? i don't really have anything worth losing.
and it turns out to be lil bill roach b/c jumbo is just a very sweet kid and prideaux has grown very fond of him. but the fey dude is bill haydon and idk he's just like "yeah im gonna make this kid fey and there's absolutely nothing you can do about it"
and so they do the deal, prideaux vibes his way out of weird british bureaucracy, and gets back and is like "fucking give me the kid back" and haydon just is like "we can parent him. since when was forced adoption not an option?"
yeah that's just kind of It.
I'd imagine that prideaux would end up Fey somehow and would inevitably end up reluctantly doing this b/c he does not trust Haydon to take care of a child when he can't even reasonably take care of himself.
also trans jumbo for literally no reason except i like that idea.
