The fae folk have not left our world. The sneaky anarchic creatures of magic did not disappear when forest were paved over and mountains were carved up. They just sat back and watched for a century or so trying to figure out the best way to make an impact.
But things have definitely changed. Turning princes into frogs, making shoes in exchange for clothes, swapping babies, it didn't have the same impact.
Hence, the Gender Vendor. The fae had partnered with some modern mortals to give their dispensing of magic a modern twist.
Designed to look like a vending machine, this machine would dispense envelopes of powder. Sprinkle it on yourself (or someone else) and the glammer would take hold for 12 hours (or so).
The glammer... well... it could be random. The fae have some odd ideas around quality control. In addition to finding yourself curvy and/or studly, taller or shorter, you might get younger or older. You might find yourself becoming a sprite, or a flower, or a hag. You also might find yourself falling madly in love with the first person you see; regardless of how they feel about you. You might find yourself with donkey ears or goat horns or a tail.
Changes are mostly temporary. Pregnancy can complicate things. So can temporarily falling madly in love.
But all's well that end's well.
Where do we find the Gender Vendor?
