Mab, and Titania in love with another Starborn?

Hmm, was he really a mortal? I can't remember the exact quote though.

Huh, actually, no it does not. I would have sworn it did...
--- Quote ---Dudesan: You've described Santa Claus as being the Winter King. What does that title mean? Do Winter and Summer each have a trinity of Father/King/Prince, like they do with Mother/Queen/Lady? Is the King necessarily the consort of the Queen? If so, will we be seeing Oberon at some point?
Jim: 5) The Faerie realms just aren't that structured. It's more accurate to say that he is /a/ Winter King. Or even more accurately, that he is a free Wyld Fae who is of a power level that is on par with Mab's and happens to neighbor her sphere of influence, and finds it simpler to show up to family dinners during the holidays and make polite than to start staking out boundaries and establishing treaties.
Oberon... well, the guy kind of wound up between Mab and Titania in one of those romantic triangle things, back around Shakespeare's day. He didn't make it.

Snark Knight:
--- Quote from: LordDresden2 on June 14, 2017, 03:01:09 AM ---Hmm...according to legend, one of the dangers of taking a Fae lover was that they can be ferociously jealous, murderously jealous, even if they are routinely unfaithful themselves. I wonder if Mab and Titania share that tendency...
--- End quote ---
Maybe if they genuinely cared about the mortal in question, but in the case of the Knight as the Queen's consort I don't think faithfulness is expected. Particularly in Winter's case, if Mab were going around killing the Knight's bedmates after the deed out of jealousy, she'd hardly have time for anything else under less rigidly self-controlled Knights than Harry.
I'd say if she has any problem with him starting an actual relationship with Karrin, it's more likely to be that their connection would help keep his humanity grounded, and get in the way of her agenda to mould him into a monster. Of course, it's not like Mab can just up and kill Karrin herself, or order Harry to with any expectation of obedience, but she may try to create more distrust as she did between Harry and Molly in SG.

You may be thinking of the compose who is Mab's Baby Daddy?

I wasn't thinking of Harry in specific. He really hasn't taken a Fae lover, the one time with Mab was more of a ceremonial thing than anything else, and I doubt it was SOP. As Harry said, it was less sex than something that was superficially like it.
I was thinking more along the lines of Oberon, or Maeve's father.
