an~ mustardseedness! yay! hahaha, if he was real, i'd toatally steal him and take him home and make him mine in a nonperverted way. i like mustardseed, can you tell? more drabbley stuff.
Living forever without having to grow up had its perks. One got to meet many, many more people that way. It also made for closer friendships, more experience, and a lot more fun. I have centuries to make faerie the place it should be. I may look like I'm thirteen, but I have the maturity level of someone much older. You don't have to worry about missing something special for a certain year, just don't age and go back to do it again next year.
Of course, there was the downside too. I know that Puck will eventually lose the love of his life because she's a human. It isn't likely my mother will get to see my father again for hundreds of years. Life imprisonment can be a very difficult thing when your life spans several millenia. Moth can attest to that. She will be stuck in a jail cell for the rest of her life, because my mother, though she will never forgive her, could not bear to kill someone she had raised from infancy. And I will have the responsibility of being king of Faerie for the next century or so, until we can set up a democracy that works for our lifetimes. Four years is much too short for an everafter to get something done in. After all, what's the hurry when you have forever?
I think, given the choice, I would rather not live forever. I have seen much suffering, many of it by my family. If there was a way, I would destroy everafters' ability to live forever completely. We would all just start at whatever age we were, and move on from there. It would be much simpler. I would rather do without forever.
