It's Nix-but-not-actually-Nix from muccamukk 's 'Pale Kings and Princes Too! I'm a huge sucker for modern faerie tales and this one was tremendous. Thank you so much for writing it, I enjoyed the hell out of it!

 

(There's a slightly more zoomed in detail shot of Nix-not-Nix's face on my Tumblr, if that's the sort of thing that interests anyone.)

In keeping with "The Goblin Queen," Lud-in-the-Mist and a bunch of other old stories, red fruit is traditional to these things.

Oooh I didn't know it was specifically red fruit! That's cool! A+ creative interpretation of classic narrative device, friend.

(Plus bonus points for the delicious visual of Nix - or something like him - licking melting ice cream off his own arm.)
