December Reward 2 (Patreon)

While the huntsman, Conell, serves as stud for the local fae, Altair the witch incubates their eggs for them. Fairies can technically carry their own eggs to term (and in fact more would actually hatch if they did), but they prefer using their ovipositor to pass them on to a willing host to carry out the duty in their stead. In exchange, Altair gets free passage through the forest to gather as well as a faerie egg from every clutch he carries- an incredibly rare ingredient most magic users only ever dream of getting their hands on.

And, though he'd never admit as much to the fae themselves for fear of losing his bargain with them, he actually quite enjoys the whole ordeal, especially when Connell joins in.
