Orel is a treat, he's eccentric, not autistic like everyone just assumes. His view on the world, on his own innate magic, and the power of wishing is earnest, earned, and a wonderfully different way of looking at the world around us.
Finn's journey from tragedy, through self-destruction, to being found by his Orel, loved and healed by that is a journey. It's hard a points, but what he finds in his strange little weirdo of a husband is defiant, fierce and unrepentant love.
I hope you like them, they're a powerhouse of earned love.
