I'm listening to a gay fae romance taking place in a small US town and it's written well enough to be mostly enjoyable, but I did spend the first few chapters fighting to suspend my disbelief enough to get into the premise, because it quickly became clear that there were no POCs and certainly no Native American people in this story.

How and why Irish fairies are making incursions in a small US town specifically is never explained. Did they come with Irish settlers? They can't have always been there, because the fae being cast out from Ireland is a major world building point, but also our protagonist's witchy family was assigned this town to protect because there was a border with Fairy in it. But what's the mythological colonialism situation here? Did the Irish fae come with the Irish settlers and taken over from pre-colonial myths? Or have they always been there? If they had always been there, surely the Native peoples would have created their own ways of protecting themselves.

It became clear fairly quickly that the author has clearly never considered any of these questions. They wanted to write a fae romance, they are USAmerican and clearly want to set the story in a small US town, so just mesh those together and don't think about the wider socio-historical implications.

Do any of your OCs have "weird" teeth?

Also give an explanation if you can

Yes in a way.

All of the fae have sharper canines and whatever you call the tooth next to them

The fae also loose teeth more often than humans.

Humans have a set of baby teeth that fall out and are replaced by permanent adult teeth.

However, the fae live for centuries or even millenia, and their appetite can be 2-3 times that of an average human. If they were to only have two sets of teeth their entire lives, they would likely become worn down and could lead to lots of dental issues.

So, fae, don't have just 2 sets of teeth they actually replace all of their teeth every 1.5-2 years

Because of this, their skulls are very distict compared to those of humans. You can see teeth coming through in both their upper and lower jaws

Many fae also collect their teeth and may use them for tools or jewelry

Faerie ruils will have an absurd amount of teeth lying around and is one way humans distinguish fae ruins (and then know to stay away)
