This week, I have both a theme and a gimmick. The gimmick first: we're doing drabbles this week. A drabble is a story of Exactly 100 words, no more and no less.. I will give a tiny bit of flexibility here, though: if your title is five words or less, you may choose whether to count those words in your 100. If it's longer, you must count those words.
Since these are so short, though, You many submit as many stories as you want. You may or may not link your stories together, but each one should stand on its own and you cannot assume they will be read in any particular order.

On to the theme: as you may have gathered from the title, I'm looking for stories about faeries and the people who interact with or believe in them. They need not be real, but they should always be important. Goblin markets, mushroom rings, courts seelie and unseelie, house spirits that must be propitiated, victorian photographs, all of those kinds of things and more.

No: erotica, fanfic, etc. Poetry is okay if the word limit isn't restrictive enough for you.
