Harry is taken in by Lea after Malcolm dies when he's six: - He becomes the unofficial Lord of the Little Folk. Toot's his second-in-command. - He gets Maggie's amulet early. Through that, and after years of constantly going between Faery and the mortal world, he eventually knows more about the Ways than pretty much anyone alive. - He spends a lot of time in the Nevernever, so even though a couple of decades have gone by since he came with Lea, he still looks like he's a little kid; a creepily intelligent kid, who has magic, and is really protective over his tiny friends.
So. I want a fic where one of the characters meets this version of Harry: either while he's roaming around outside the Nevernever, or is getting help from him as a guide through the Ways (or both). They assume that he's a faery who just has a thing for Peter Pan. But Harry somehow does something - lies, or casually picks up cold iron, etc - that makes it pretty clear that he's not. How would they deal with this information?
