Hey, Fae Side Of Tumblr
...or should I say, “Fae SIDHE of tumblr” ok I’ll stop with the puns
Does anyone have any resources on what exactly happens to a fae who is injured by cold iron, and if/how it can be reversed? all manner of headcanons/dubious sources/modern fiction/fragments of old poems welcome.
if you need specifics on the TYPE of fae, I’d say that the closest I thing I could point to would be a Grendel-type being, in the older tellings. Fairly human in appearance, a bit larger than human average and EXTREMELY uncanny, some werecreature/fiend/cursed attributes but none that are visible on the surface. skin isn’t bladeproof so probably younger than Grendel was at the time he was mentioned.
