A trunk. A pixie. A father and daughter who keep getting called on to fix things in worlds they weren’t expecting to visit.
Ongoing · Episodic · Drop in anywhereThe trunk came
with a pixie
Marcelo and his daughter Marta bought an old trunk at a market. They didn’t know it was already occupied. Faye the pixie has lived in that trunk for longer than either of them has been alive, and she has opinions about the state of things — in this world and in the ones adjacent to it.
When something needs fixing, she calls on them. They go. This is the story of what happens when they do — told in episodes, each one a complete adventure of its own.
Who’s in the story
A father who was not expecting, at this stage of life, to be rescuing creatures from spiderwebs or answering the summons of a pixie who lives in a trunk. He goes anyway. This says something good about him.
Takes the pixie entirely seriously, which is the correct response. She has the kind of practical imagination that makes her very useful on a quest and very difficult to surprise.
Lives in a trunk. Has opinions about what needs fixing in the world and is not shy about recruiting help. Small, certain, and probably older than she looks.

“The trunk came with the pixie. The pixie came with opinions. The opinions came with quests. This was not what they had in mind when they went to the market.”
