This story is a tribute to Volentrin following his sad death earlier this year. His description of what he planned for the story was: A young boy leaves Scotland for America and grows up there. He dreams of flying and sees fairies and other things his mother objects too. See how he deals with this and other things as he grows up in America! - I've tried to interpret that vision. See what you think.

A Compassionate Courtesan Universe Story
I told her "It's a long, complicated story about friends with benefits. Or without benefits. Or... I don't know. Friends and benefits." It was the story of my mid-twenties and sorting out my confusion about women, love, and sex. But it was only in telling my story to a non-traditional "therapist" that I really found the answers and learned about the varied forms that love can take. Note slow code.
