Not sure if this is what you wanted, but this is what I thought of shrugs

heehee, I like the thought of a pianist toothfairy in a music box.

Yeah this was sort of a nostalgia ficly. When I was little I had a carousel music box that I adored. No idea what happened to it though.

Better late than never. Before the Christmas break I was too busy to judge this thing, and during the break I couldn’t log in to Ficly on the computer I was using. Anyway, here are my thoughts.

This story is well-written. The use of language is effective and gives it a genuine fairy-tale atmosphere, which I like.

However, the more I examine the plot, the more paradoxes and unanswered questions I see. For example, given that the fairy doesn’t live inside the carousel 24/7, what happens if the girl turns the key while the fairy is out? Wouldn’t it seem to her like a broken toy? Also, “I had finally collected enough teeth to make a really special song” implies that new keys are added to the piano in batches, and also that the piano is finished almost as soon as the last teeth are collected. But realistically there would be a lot of time and sawdust in between collecting the raw material and having a piano ready to play. Your story ignores these things, which for me takes away from its believability.

I really like this fic, it made me giggle. You manage to convey the fairy’s glee so well, and I loved the bit about cracking of her knuckles.
