The Magic of Alec
Non-Binary, Asexual, Urban Fantasy
After a recent break up Alec is walking to the bus stop when they're caught in a downpour. They take shelter in a sushi bar, only to realize that the bar is run by elves and since elves aren't the biggest fans of humans, Alec starts to leave. Only the owner, Kessel, stops them and offers them a meal. Kessel is kind and sweet and not at all what Alec expects from an elf, especially when they offer Alec a job as a dishwasher which pays more than Alec ever thought possible. Kessel says that an elf restaurant pays elf wages, regardless of who the position goes to and Alec is happy with that. In their first week on the job Alec is happy to be there. They enjoy the restaurant, and their co-workers. They especially enjoy working for Kessel.
This is a sweet short story that is 5,000 words long.
