Disclaimer: I have no rights to the Star Trek characters except to play with them fictionally as a child might play with a Ken and Barbie doll—that is, for personal entertainment purposes only. I do own the rights to my brain, however.
Summary: AU. He wants to be human, she wants to be him, and only the man caught between both has the power to set them free.
A/N #1: Written for space_wrapped; based on the following prompt: Fairy Tale fic! A lonely winter sprite spends his days staring in through the frost-covered windows at Leonard McCoy and his small child. One-sided romance to be sure, but if you can swing the boys getting together then you get double cookies. Lots of fascination and secret (perhaps even forbidden) longing on sprite!Jim’s part.
This story may not entirely resemble the prompt. There is longing (of a kind), sprite!Jim (erm, not so much, unless sprites are beasties?), and winter (oh yes, definitely that). This prompt is awesome, though. It launched me into a writing winter wonderland I’ll never forget.
If anyone can do it proper justice, please save the prompter from disappointment!
A/N #2: This is one of those fictions which is either an instant win or an epic failure. I have prepared for the latter by hiding under my bedcovers until someone kindly informs me otherwise.
A/N #3: I have never claimed to have a mundane imagination. Please see above warnings and be warned.
A/N #4: I don’t have a mundane ego, either.
Recommended read either one of two ways:
1) straight-through; whereupon, at the end, you may go wtf was she thinking?
or
2) skip to the fairy tale; see the titled sections within each part.

This is one of those fictions which is either an instant win or an epic failure. I have prepared for the latter by hiding under my bedcovers until someone kindly informs me otherwise. *drags you out* Is win. Because of the power of Awesome. No need for me to read it to know that. *cheers you on*
*clings to her bedcovers and whimpers* Noooo, KCS! I want to stay under them! Really! The power of Awesome can easily be counteracted by the power of Stupid Plotting. But I do appreciate your cheerleading. :)
