Summary:
The Fae have done Severus a favor, and he is greatly in their debt. Every three months, on the solstices and equinoxes, he stops by to pay his respects.
Apparently it's so unusual a thing these days, both their initial interaction and his sincere and continued thanks, that the Fae decide to give him another gift, whether he think he wants it or not. (Merlin, he's still paying for the
last boon...)
So you can imagine his surprise when he discovers that he's not the only one with something to thank them for... And isn't it pity that they are so willfully obstinate in their gifting? Surely they could have just
asked? (He needs a new iron cauldron now that he thinks about it...)
(But he supposes that
would have been too much to ask from the Fae after all...)

Left to his own devices, Severus would probably speak to virtually no one but himself. So isn't it fortunate that he finds himself such engaging company? When he's not self-loathing, that is.
