A Tiny Feast
Short story about the faerie king and queen, Oberon and Titania, and their mortal son, who suffers from leukemia.
"Leukemia!" Oberon said, breaking his silence, and it sounded as if he were testing out a curse. Chris Adrian's fairy king and queen—Titania in designer clothes, Oberon in a suit—face their changeling boy's diagnosis with a mixture of ancient power and modern helplessness.
