Thank you, I'm glad you enjoyed. I seem to be the queen of slightly creepy fic because I get that comment a lot about my fics that aren't written for laughs.

I don't read much gen but your premise intrigued me and I'm glad I stopped in. Yep, nice old world fear and dismay.

I appreciate you stopping in even though it was gen. The Ancients have always struck me as being as cold and capricious as the Sidhe.

cool :D I don't know what a changeling is, but I love how it almost read like a fairy tale.

Yay! Thank you! Just so you know, the story behind changelings is that the Fair Folk would kidnap unbaptised human babies (and they had a preference for the fair ones) and leave in their place one of their own babies for the human parents to raise. I blame whole idea on Joe Flanigan's ears. *grin*

Ohh, yes. *purrrs* Changelings make me SO happy. John-the-Changeling makes me even happier.
