a man who had bad experiences with faeries (because of them being partially the cause of his mother estrangedness and five years of personal hell) gets literally charmed by one of them. after clearing up some misunderstandings they start dating and now he has to save his new boyfriend's human father from a sadistic fae queen that is also his new boyfriend's mother.
