Female reader x Male monster
There had been a particular cursed placed on your family ages ago, back when ankles were considered something vulgar. A certain far off relative had made the acquaintance of the Fairer Folk. It was this discovery that soon turned sour for your relative. While they had been enjoying discovering this new side of the world and being welcomed in, they sort of got lost in it. They ran afoul of some of the more unseemly parts of the Fae world. Aymeric LaFramboise was the particular sort of shady character you never wanted to get on his bad side. He controlled a syndicate of shadowy dark forces and played with those who crossed his path like toys.
Your relative had become a celebrity of sorts in the Fae world, due to the fact he was, well, rather endowed. He had become popular with all genders of Fae for his ability to pleasure them. Now Aymeric, not to be out of the loop, invited your relative to his home. Aymeric wined and dined him, and dare I say it even sixty-nined him, but it was all a plot to lull your relative into a false sense of security. Aymeric was distrustful of humans, and no matter how good one was in bed, he was not willing to trust one completely.
It only took the most minor of slight to allow Aymeric to strike, and for your relative it was when he 'finished' first. Aymeric then took his chance, cursing him as well as all the first born descendents in his bloodline. He cursed them to have shame thrust upon them wherever they went. Their name would be sullied and they could never stay long. The cursed affected each first born differently. Your poor relative was afflicted with lust and quite literally fucked himself to death. His first born son had a similar affliction, only he liked it to be public. His first born daughter was caught in the bed of several wives. It went on and on this way until you.
Your shame was a bit different than your relatives and one you had been able to hide as well as you could, although it didn't stop people from whispering. It wasn't something you really thought about, it was just life for you and you had built your walls to protect yourself. It wasn't until your sister revealed she was pregnant that you began to worry. You had seen the curse destroy your father, you had felt it working on you, you did not want your sister's firstborn child to bare the same fate. So you took your distant relatives writings to find Aymeric.
The Fairer Folk had become much more open since your relative's time visiting them. The world knew more about them and there were communities one could enter freely. But Aymeric was still ever high on his horse that mortals weren't worth the time.
Your relatives letters described Aymeric in both alluring and wretched detail. Apparently Aymeric was one of the best lovers your relative had ever had, while at the same time being one of the most selfish. He described Aymeric as both parts beautiful and otherworldly, while commenting that his charm is acted and his cruelty real. Aymeric had no heart except for the ones he kept in jars, and everything he did only concerned himself.
You found Aymeric's home where he had Orc guards standing out front and you wondered how many people wanted him dead or maimed. As you approached the door the Orcs turned and looked down at you, glaring through sunglasses made of red glass.
"I want to speak with Aymeric," you say staunchly, not allowing the Orcs to intimidate you.
"Mr. LaFromboise doesn't allow humans in his home," one Orc snarls.
"Please leave the way you came," the other Orc growled.
You look them both over and frown. "No!" You then thrust out the letter your relative had left. "I wish to speak to him concerning the curse of one Milford Q. Honeycutt!"
The two Orcs glance at one another before they turn and both knock on the door. A second later the door opens and a small blue fae comes walking out. She looks to the Orcs then down at you. She tilts her glasses down and her pink eyes shimmer.
