Wish-Matching 101 - So you want a pixie man? (PG13 Post)

Welcome to The Love Weavers' blog. If unfamiliar with the blog and its authors, scroll down.

In the world of Lark Westerly's Fairy in the Bed series (eXtasy Books 2016 -) love and marriage can happen in all sorts of ways. There's your basic boy meets girl version... but many of the characters in the series are wish-matched. Fairies of all types may wish quite deliberately to bring them the desired match, but when humans get in on the game, things get interesting. This series on Wish-Matching 101 shows you, the human, how to go about things to find a fairy partner. In these posts, over here refers to the mundane human world while over there is the fairy world.

So... you're a woman (or maybe not?) and you'd like a pixie man. Here are the instructions to make that wish-match happen.

What you'll get if this works out

Pixie men are in the normal human range for size. Pure pixies have clear olive skin and handsome regular features. They usually have eyes in the green-hazel range. They have black or brown hair and look solemn most of the time, but have quite devastating smiles. They are highly susceptible to the colour green.

Pixies are sexy, devoted and playful and can be impulsive. They have a strong sense of duty and responsibility, and will treat you well. They will give you freedom to be yourself as long as they feel secure. They will always be aware of your feelings and will give you what they think you want, or need.

Things to be aware of
Pixie men can use pixie dust to make you forget things, or to attract you. Most of them won’t do it without your implied permission, or to help you, but if you annoy one by being wilfully obstructive he may dust you to get things moving. They can be talkative.

Downsides
Don’t ever cross a pixie. They’re not vengeful but they will be so hurt they may be unable to function. They pine if feeling unloved.
They get embarrassed easily and may blush. This is inconvenient for them as they tend to turn green with strong emotion. Try to avoid embarrassing a pixie man in public.

They have excellent hearing, so don’t speak out of turn near them.

They may get caught up in someone else’s affairs and if they feel responsible they will keep trying to help.

They can be single-minded in their pursuit of servicing your wish. The direct approach may embarrass you, but if you tell them to back off they will.

Where to find them over here and over there

Over there, you'll probably find pixies somewhere near the forest. They may be wearing traditional garb of tights, soft shoes and tunics, or else dressed in normal jeans and shirts. 

Over here, you'll pixie men working in service industries, mechanics, repair people, healers. They enjoy cooking and are good at it.

How to attract that pixie

Attract a pixie man by making a wish that implies you want help or a personal service and you want it now. Be imperative rather than requesting and be specific. Wear green. Lots of green. Be unencumbered, romantically speaking. A pixie man won't encroach on someone he regards as bespoken and may be annoyed with you for trying it on.

What to expect

Be open and ready for a passionate loving relationship that will last. Pixies are not susceptible to human disease, to you won't catch anything.

Warning; don’t wish near a pixie without due consideration. If you wish for something and then reject it or them they may suffer a horribly painful condition until you sort things out for them. If you have compromised a pixie man, undo your wish or make a new one to override it.

If you just want a fling, word your wish carefully.

If you intend to have multiple partners, stay clear of pixies. They don't want to share.

They’re almost always straight, so if you're a male looking for a male, better look elsewhere.

Future prospects

If you wish-match with a pixie man, you will probably end up living with him and/or married to him. He will be faithful, loving and passionate and a good father to any children you have. (Oh yes, you will be perfectly compatible.) Your half-pixie sons may show a slight green tint in their teens if they get emotional. They may have the pixie conjuring ability (which they don’t regard as magic) so don't be surprised if they change their clothes in an instant or suddenly have a blanket if they're feeling cold. If one child does have this ability, they will all have it. They will be very healthy children, earnest, sweet-natured and helpful. Get their father to have the talk with them early so they know how to protect themselves from getting hurt. They should probably spend a fair bit of time over there in their teens to find out where they fit best. They’ll play equally well with humans and fay children, but will have to learn the social differences to avoid unexpected consequences. They’ll probably have a lot of tree-folk friends, because they offer uncomplicated affection which is balm to the intense pixie nature.

Pixie Misses, as the girl-children are termed) are much easier to raise. They’re happy children, healthy and attractive. They have a much more pragmatic approach than their brothers, and a great appetite for life. They will be popular so be prepared for a houseful of friends if you produce a pixie miss.

Notable pixie characters in Fairy in the Bed series

Peckerdale Grene is a pure pixie who appears in Green Balls as a main character and as a major character in the upcoming (as of April 2017) Pen and Ink. Peck lives largely over here and works as a mechanic for Ike's Motor Services. You can't wish-match with Peck, because he's taken and his human girlfriend Chloe is not about to share any more than he is.

Shan is a pixie miss who lives largely over there but who comes over here at times. She's a childhood friend of Peck's. She's a lovely girl, and currently un-matched. She's mentioned in Green Balls.

Si Bakewell is a trace-pixie, reinforced. He has pixie ancestry, but lived mostly as a human over here for twenty years. In college, he went out into the Tasmanian bush and made a wish. The outcome of that led to his pixie genes being reinforced so he's now quite powerful. He works as a new-age healer. You can't wish-match with Si, either. He'll be happy to give you a hug and fix your low spirits, but he's deeply matched with his half-fay wife Skye with whom he's been for thirty years and counting. Si appears in Honey and the Harvest Hob (due May 26 2017) and the upcoming Pen and Ink

Quotes by and about pixies from the series

“Fix-it pixies like to fix things, so I wanted to fix something.” (Peck Grene to Pen Swan – Pen and Ink)

“And yes, I heard every paint-stripping syllable. Pixies have good hearing.” (Peck Grene to Pen Swan – Pen and Ink)

“Pixies are usually far too talkative.” (Duffy Inkersoll to Pen Swan – Pen and Ink)

“Everyone likes pixies. They’re not far from elves and elf men are reckoned among the most appealing to human women.” He sighed. “I’m just envious, I suppose. As long as a woman can accommodate a little greenery in a man, pixies are in clover." (Duffy Inkersoll to Pen Swan – Pen and Ink)

“Pixiehood is a state of mind.”) Duffy Inkersoll to Pen Swan – Pen and Ink)

“I think you need one of your own kind, my friend. Shall I send you a pixie miss?” (Oash the sylvan to Peck Grene – Green Balls)

“Back off, pervert! I’ve got pepper spray!”
“I think that’s illegal here. By the way, I’m not a pervert. I’m a fairy. My manifestation is fix-it pixie, if you want the detail.” 
(Chloe Fraser and Peck Grene at their unfortunate first meeting - Green Balls.)

Alternatives
If the full pixie experience sounds too intense to you, you might be interested in the following selections.

Trace pixies- men with pixie ancestry. They are loving and passionate but less intense. Their colouring will be less obvious and they may not show greening at all. They will want to help people, but even if focussed on someone else temporarily, they will keep their hearthfire love for you.

Leprechauns aka leppies- Leprechaun men are a little less human in appearance, and will talk at you in an Irish brogue. They’ll probably know your family tree back more generations than you do, and may set out to charm you with a little horse-shoe magic. They like green and have a slight green tint to their skin. That’s not embarrassment, it’s just them. Much less likely to live over here, so if you want one, you may have to ask a friendly fairy to take you through a gateway. Be aware you'll have considerable competition from the tree maids and leprechaun colleens.

Elves - Similar to pixies but less intense. They can get a bit over-enthusiastic, but they’ll make you laugh. Sweet-natured. If you can live with slightly pointed ears and a lot of fast talking, you might find an elf very much to your taste. Several of them live over here and work in retail and service industries.
