Forgot to do one of these for "Changeling" (Patreon)

The story was initially inspired by this post on Tumblr:   https://magic-and-moonlit-wings.tumblr.com/post/158028097645/rescue-and-adoption . But of course, that's not the only part of it.

I decided some time ago to start writing a thing I call "altered tales" -- folktales, fairy tales and myths that don't quite go the way the original tale did. So the legend of Orpheus and Eurydice gets moved to medieval times and into the framework of Catholicism, changed to a mother and daughter instead of lovers because frankly, lovers get too much press, but also because it sets up a parallel with the framing story with the mother and the two babies. And gets a better ending, drawing on "deal with the devil" folktales rather than the tragic Greek myth.

I threw in a reference to Hamelin at the end as well, where it's implied that the Pied Piper was the good guy.
