Despite the difficulties of city life, Honoria's dead-set against using their magical powers. Even when Shelagh devises a plot to make money off fairy gold, her girl won't go for it. Honoria would rather steal the old-fashioned way than end up in a military facility after the government catches wind of their abilities--which isn't so far-fetched a concern. It happened to a friend of a friend.
When Shelagh insists they can earn a living off cash-for-gold services, the irritable couple begins a career in small-time thievery. Who knew breaking and entering would be such fun?
An urban fantasy of 6,000 words. Includes content suitable for mature audiences only.
Thieving Fairies Reviews
-
‘Thieving Fairies’ are certainly naughty little creatures. Currently, this short has a 2.71 average rating and I ignored that for 2 reasons. First, GR friend Corrie gave this four stars and an entertaining review. Second, it was free. I like free things, which leads me to two points:
1. Always listen to your friends...unless they’re trying to convince you to commit a little misdemeanor called breaking and entering with the intent to commit a felony, and
2. Free things are awesome...as long as you aren’t breaking and entering to thieve them, thus committing previously mentioned felony.
I enjoyed this short well enough and for some reason, it reminded me a little bit of Amber Skye. The styles and humor are completely different, but I think it takes a certain type of humor to appreciate either one. I don’t even know what that ‘thing’ is, but it’s like so many other art forms that have a cult following that mainstream society just doesn’t understand. You either love ‘Clue’ or ‘Little Shop of Horrors’ or Andy Warhol or Nirvana or you hate them. Anyway, I’m way off tangent. None of this has anything to do with anything...
Except! I think people will either love this or hate this. I personally laughed and thought it was more than worth the zero dollars and 1 hour I spent on it. There is some weird toe sex that made me laugh and two fairies married to one another who do nothing but argue and are in a rut. They get off on Robin Hood-ing to the benefit of themselves. Breaking and entering is their thing, hence my points 1 and 2 above.
Whatever, I don’t even know how to give this review closure so I won’t.
The End. -
I enjoyed this. It was humorous, short and erotic.

3.5 stars!
An unforeseen thrill ran up her spine in anticipation of misadventure
Who knows? Theft might be good for their marriage.
"It turns you on, doesn't it?" Honoria asked. "The possibility of getting caught..."
bahaha! Loved this!! Cute and entertaining. Two fairies discover thieving was the missing element to their marriage. This was amazing for a 23 page short story. Very well-done by the author. A+ for the dialogue. This is the perfect short story to read during a lunch break, while waiting in line at the grocery store, or at the doctor's office. Short, sweet, and funny.
A couple favorite & random quotes:
"Why are you wearing a garter belt over a miniskirt?" Smiling at the sun in the sky, Honoria said, "It's called fashion."
Despite an innate aversion to iron, she actually liked this city of steel...Humans building towers--it was the ultimate act of conquering Nature. She'd seen what travesties Nature committed. That bitch deserved to be reined in. -
Thieving Fairies is a fun-filled erotic short. Married fairy couple Honoria and Shelagh are down on their luck and have to result to a bit of B&E to make ends meet. Who knew that this clandestine act would rekindle their sex life?
One of the funny bits:
She dug her fingers into the pristine bedding and ran her feet up the side of the bed.
“Hey, hey,” Shelagh scolded. “Stop that! Your boots are all muddy. You’re making a devil of a mess on this quilt.”
“I’ll clean it later,” Honoria assured her. She didn’t want the pleasure to end for the sake of the bed linens. “My grandmother was a Brownie. Chores are in my blood.”
“Funny,” Shelagh said in a whisper. “Then why’s the apartment always such a mess?”
“Shut up and eat me!”
f/f explicit, some expert toe sucking
Themes: “Ban-righinn, leig sinne dèan iteag”, cash for gold.

A fun read. Nothing in depth, but then again it is a short story. I'm glad I read it, and I'd love to hear more. It's well written, cogent and entertaining. I rather like the premise of the story (no spoilers - you have to read it). Although the foot thingie is not my cup of tea, it went well here, in this story.
So we need more thieving fairies please. -
Not a very big plot. Needed more but was alright
-
Better writing than Rush Week, although I really didn't like the characters. Yes, they're fairy, which means they can be amoral jerks, but these two shouldn't even be married. The sexy bits were all right, but they spent most of the story fighting. It seemed as though the only reason they were married was because the sex was good, if they bothered to have any.
-
Its kind of adorable, I really liked the premise of the story. It was really short, and the ending left me wanting more. But I did like the lesson and the realization that Honoria had at the end.
-
Very short erotic tale. The thrill of the theft was fun, and the sex was well-written.
-
cute short little story about a lesbian fairy couple. pretty good, although the sex was a bit awkward in places.
maybe just because i don't like foot stuff lmao.but it was a fun, quick read and it was free. -
Short fun fairy smut.

I struggled reading this book a little, it's a short story but I didn't fall in love with the characters. I don't really like stories about estranged partners, it makes me sad and I don't want to be sad reading romance books. Honoria and Shelagh don't have a great relationship at first, and although the end is quite nice, the uneasy feeling didn't leave me.
I know it's a short story and I wasn't expecting great detail about the world-building, but we really don't get much and I was very confused.
