Burned Faeries... no, that wasn't it.

Bookfilter: The name and author of a book escapes me...
I used to read voraciously when I was a teenager. Most of the books were things I've since forgotten I read. One sticks in my head, though. In it, a man and a woman, strangers to each other, are somehow pulled out of the 'real' world into a magical realm. Once there, they're given the chance to choose Hero bodies and they're transformed. Throughout the rest of the book (or series, maybe it was a series of books), the two change again and again. At one point, the woman turned into a winged faerie that took troubled feelings away from others, leaving them happy but taking the feelings onto herself. To cleanse the bad feelings away, she had to fly into/through a volcano or pit of fire or something like that. I've googled, to no avail. Anyone recognize this?

my husband, who owns an entire shelf of Chalker, agrees with the River of the Dancing Gods conclusion.

Thirding Chalker, River of the Dancing Gods. Had totally forgotten it, but your description and the cover on amazon cinched it for me.
