Short story. The Butter Spirit's Tithe first appeared in Emerald Magic, edited by Andrew M. Greeley; Tor Books, 2004, and was most recently reprinted in Muse and Reverie, Tor Books, 2009.Conn O'Neill is trying to make a go of it as a Celtic guitarist until he inadvertently runs afoul of a vengeful spirit. Cursed for seven years, at the end of which his soul is promised as a tithe to the fearsome Grey Man, Conn's only hope lies with his musical partner Miki Greer. Miki knows a thing or two about Irish spirits, having lost her brother to them in de Lint's novel Forests of the Heart. She's not about to let them claim someone else. --Provided by publisher.

While much of the cursing is petty harassment, not all of it is--particularly with regard to Conn's girlfriend. But for all the problems, he keeps on picking up gigs as a guitarist, and eventually becomes Miki Greer's regular accompanist.
When seven years has passed, and the day the Grey Man will claim him approaches, Conn finally has to tell Miki what happened, and will happen. As those who've read Forests of the Heart are aware, Miki Greer knows something about the spirits and their ways. She sets a plan in motion. However, she only tells Conn to be ready, not anything about what her plan is or what to be ready for.
It's a warm and charming short story about friendship, love, courage, paying attention to details, and being just tricky enough.
Highly recommended.
