Lost Property by Fiona Glass: a stand-alone short story about an amnesiac elf adrift in the world of men.
Irik wakes up in hospital with no idea who he is. He knows his name from the label tied to his toe, and he knows that the sun will come through the windows each day, and he knows he's very different from the rest of the people in the ward. He can't remember anything of his previous life and the healers are too busy to help him much - all except for one young apprentice, Joshua, who befriends Irik and spends time with him in the hospital garden, teaching him about life. Irik begins to fall in love with his new friend, and it seems entirely natural to express that love with a kiss. But when he does just that, it has unexpected consequences for them both and helps Irik back on the road to health - and his family.
