When Jakob,
▲When Jakob, Vogelein's Guardian of 50 years, dies quietly in his sleep one night, her life is thrown into utter turmoil. Left without someone to wind her, the tiny clockwork faerie has less than five hours to live—unless she can find someone to trust. Unable to reach the keyhole in her back, she continues to wind down until she stops—and then her memories of the past three hundred years will quickly slip away, leaving her a simple automaton unable to speak or move on her own. In her search for a new Guardian, Vogelein must grapple with her own past, her current daily survival and a true Faerie who has taken an instant disliking to her, all so that she will not lose her memories—and her self. The home page is [http://www.vogelein.com/vogelein/index.shtml here], where you can see one of the chapters.

* [[Arbitrary Skepticism]]:
* [[Art Evolution]]: Actually something of a detriment—when the appearances of characters change over a chapter, Irwin has to go back and update older comics to reflect this.
* [[Empathic Shapeshifter]]: Real fae left behind in the real world slowly change into what people expect them to look and act like—in the Duskie's case, a tiny, winged, impotently furious trickster.
* [[The Fair Folk]]: The Duskie {{spoiler|once called Midhir}}.
* [[Gratuitous German]]: "
* [[Humans Are the Real Monsters]]: The Duskie's position. To be fair, they ''did'' "steal his wife, murder his children, and desecrate the land of his people".
* [[Painting the Fourth Wall]]: Every character has his or her own text.
* [[Photographic Memory]]: Except when she hasn't been wound—in which case she forgets more and
* [[Really Seven Hundred Years Old]]: More like two hundred plus. She doesn't look it, but then, she ''is'' clockwork.
* [[Replacement Goldfish]]:
* [[Ridiculously-Human Robots]]:
* [[Truly Single Parent]]: Heinrich. Admittedly, he had the Romani trader Alexi to gather materials and help raise
* [[Who Wants to Live Forever?]]:
* [[Winged Humanoid]]:
