Warnings: Mentions of death

Inspiration: I was deep in the grip of writer's block, and I asked a writing friend for a prompt. She instantly shot back, "Space fey did it." Voila.

Be the reason someone smiles today! :) And if you have a moment, I'd love it if you dropped me a review.

When Adam had died and come back to life while hurtling through space, everyone had been too relieved to really question it. But even if they had tried to guess how it would have happened, they almost certainly would have been wrong. The explanation was… strange.

She'd been aware of him for some time. In fact, she'd been curious enough about what he was, and what he was doing to have been following him.

The strange metal boy had a kind mind, she thought. She could feel help-prove-protect rolling off of him in waves. He was helpful, and proud, and trying his hardest to do the right thing. The little fey darted about him, trying to understand what he was. Human, she decided, after a minute. Human, in a strange metal suit, trying to save a world.

Satisfied, the fey nearly turned away, but then the boy stopped.

Well, his mind stopped, puttering abruptly to a halt. His body, in its bizarre metal shell, continued.

The fey grew closer, curious and confused. What had happened? Effortlessly, she kept pace, whizzing around him, her light casting a gentle violet glow on the boy's red-hot armor. She tinkled, puzzled. The boy had stopped, that was the only way to put it. But why?

It struck her in an instant- the boy was dead. She had forgotten death, the strange hazard of being flesh and blood. She hadn't been for so long.

Guided by long-buried memories, she started his heart beating again, sent blood joyfully coursing through it. It had barely ceased beating, and needed only the gentlest reminder of how to do so. She prompted his lungs to inflate once more, and they leaped to obey.

The little fey felt uncomparable joy as the boy lived. She whisked swiftly behind him as he came to, carefully dimming her light. The boy would be alright now, and he had a mission to complete. He didn't need any distractions. She pulsed happily, and stopped, the boy shooting past her. He was gone in an instant, nothing but a glint in the distance, another star on the horizon.

The fey felt better than she had in centuries, despite expending so much energy in the boy's healing. She was only too glad to help.

She only wondered if humans had any idea that a small space fey had helped prevent their planet's demise.
