Tales of the Fae - L.J. Hamlin
Lake
Hearts in Motion
Walking into the gallery, brightly lit with amazing art on the walls, Alice is almost glad she came. She can be a little bit of a hermit, and she likes her cabin in the woods. But her best friend, Bastian, had convinced her she would love this art show. Alice has always had a love for art.
So who are we here to see, again?
Alice asks.
An artist who draws nudes in nature. They’re a fairy,
Bastian says casually.
Alice feels like she’s been hit in the stomach. What? Bastian, I never thought I’d hear you call a gay person that,
Alice says, shaking.
Alice had been friends with Bastian since elementary school. He stuck by her through the few hard times and was the cause of a lot of the good times, which was why thinking he’d used a gay slur had made her feel sick. Bastian was the first person she had come out to as a lesbian, and he’d never been mean about it before.
Oh, no. No, I’m sorry. She’s a fairy, Alice. A real fairy, like I’m a real kitsune,
Bastian explains, looking horrified at the confusion caused by his words.
She’s one of the fae?
Alice asks, relieved. She herself is a shifter, but she’s never met a fairy. Their small town by the forest attracts a lot of supernatural beings due to the energy of the forest, and they’ve made a safe community here, but Alice doesn’t come into town much. She’s sure otherwise she’d notice a fairy. Their kind are beautiful, often powerful, and not to be messed with.
Yes. Let me show you some of her art and then maybe introduce you,
Bastian suggests. He still looks a little sheepish.
You know her?
Alice asks, following Bastian deeper into the rooms.
Did I not tell you? I’ve talked with her a few times.
You definitely didn’t tell me,
Alice says, but forgets why it matters as they come to another painting. She stops in her tracks.
The painting is beautiful. It depicts a black woman lying nude in a bed of red flowers, petals all over her skin, the long lines of her arms and the curve of her hip all perfectly captured.
Do you like this one?
Bastian asks.
Yes. Her style is amazing. The woman looks alive and the flowers real.
Alice isn’t an art expert, but she can recognise skill when she sees it, and this artist is highly skilled.
This is why I spoke to her. I’m buying this piece. It’s mine after the show,
Bastian explains.
It’ll look amazing in your home. Maybe I’ll buy something, too. Can we look at the rest?
Slice asks.
Yes, let’s look around.
They move from beautiful painting to beautiful painting, some depicting women, other men, some androgynous figures, some leaving gender up to interpretation. It’s clear the artist doesn’t have a gender she won’t capture in her work.
Alice is gazing at a red-headed woman entwined with vines when she feels someone beside her, and she glances to the side and then looks again. The woman beside her is beautiful and makes Alice, with her brown
