Are you using 'heritage' in the literary sense, or, are you speaking in terms of genetics-- changelings, The Great Silkie, etc... or fostering: 'fairy Godmothers'? Interesting possibilities.
"The Fairy Wife" concept is near & dear to me, as is also the Dol Amroth story. I hadn't thought of those connecting with this. (I'm not sure yet if they do.)
