Fairies?

[NuclearFairy]

I just realized, I have no stories that are explicitly about fairies for this site and given my user name, that doesn't really seem right...

So! Can anyone pitch some ideas?

 

[NuclearFairy]

I don't know what kind of stories you write

Mostly, non human and fantasy. Although, I do have a story about feet that is awaiting edits, and a work in progress that is a sci-fi about a girl and a chair.

I also have on another site a non-erotic horror story about a child and a fairy.

Keats wrote a poem called 'La Belle Dame Sans Merci' that's ripe with erotic undertones. For the right writer it could haunting, melancholic, or twist it to a good or bad ending, depending on what you like to write. It's not a long poem.

Oh, that sounds interesting.

Well, if you like dated slang, you have the entire Gay Male category for examples ....

Charlie Stross presents the Fay as dangerous mind-controlling monsters who force mortals to love them for their own convenience.

How about taking the "Fairy Godmother" idea sort of literally, and having a MILF-fancier seduce the fairy who comes to bless some infant, and what sexy blessing the child receives (which only becomes effective on her/his 18th birthday)?

One last thing and I'll leave you alone. If you do write something based on that poem let me know I would like to read it. Ok, peace.

=) If I do I'll let you know. I do find fairies rather scary so I might.

When I think of fairies, I think of Tinkerbell. So my fantasies along this long go in a different direction.

I tend to think of Rumpelstiltskin, Baba Yaga, The Cat in the Hat, sorry I mean Cat-Sith.

And such critters as spriggans, will-o'-the-wisps, tommy knockers, and kelpies.

Personally I like the kind of faeries that are so different to humans in their worldviews and thought processes that they seem totally inscrutable and alien to us.

I really liked Susanna Clarke's faeries in Jonathan Strange & Mr Norrel, and Lev Grossman's faeries in The Magicians series. They weren't scary because they were evil, they were scary because it was impossible to understand their motivations and goals!

 

[NuclearFairy]

Baba Yaga! Fricking love the idea of Baba Yaga! An obsession of mine in folklore! She fascinates me like no other mythic/ folkloric figure ever.

There are some who argue that she's not a fairy because of her iron teeth. But I figure, if it walks like a duck, quacks like a duck, and looks like a duck, then just because it breathes fire doesn't mean it's not a duck.

Maybe a story about an English guy going to France for a gay weekend. It could be titled Cross Channel Fairy.

 

[ClintonBrooks]

Ha! Hard to get Disney out of your head with stuff like this. But Irish folklore, and in 19th century lit, faeries are far more malevolent and dangerous.

Tink? Tink, where are you? I need your barely covered little boobies!

Would it help if the kelpies could make water weeds act like tentacles?

Oh...baby!

 

[NuclearFairy]

Do you know who Katherine Arden is? She wrote a trilogy a few years back, book 1 is 'The Bear and the Nightingale'. All about Russian folklore and myth. Pretty good and entertaining fiction work. Hits all the major creatures of Russian folklore including Baba Yaga in vol. 3

I haven't heard of her before, thanks for the recommendation though.

 

[ClintonBrooks]

Hmm...now I think I need to represent...for Tink!

 

[ClintonBrooks]

Haha! She needs attention or she dies right? There's definitely erotica there. Can you imagine a fairy that does without constant, nonstop sex? Could be extremely absurd, comedic, or a nice twist at the end, deadly for her human victim.

Hmm...decisions, decisions...

 

[FromManyOne]

Hmm ... can Tinkerbell's "fairy dust" make a penis rise?

Yep. The fae are adept at making things grow. See the link for Wilbur and the Elf in my sig line.

I started a story once about flower fairies, I think for the April Fool's Contest last year. This was as far as I got:

Daisy was in a naughty mood. The spring sun was shining, the air was arm beneath her wings, and it had been an age since she’d fucked.

Winter had been cold and damp, as it always was. Daisy had spent it in deep slumber, like all her brothers and sisters, waiting for the sun to return.

Now it had, and all the Flower Fairies were out enjoying themselves. Lily had her bare feet in a pond, her back in the grass and a contented smile on her face. Elderflower dispensed wisdom to Marigold, who listened with her infinite patience, with only the occasional amused glance at Sage.

Daisy didn’t have time for them, though, nor for Rose and Iris, calm and serene. She didn’t even have time for Buttercup and Poppy, her closest sisters.

She was looking for Stiffcock. Or Knobweed. Fuck, even Cockhold would be better than nothing!

If you count witches and hags and trolls as fae, look out for the Dark Fairy Tales challenge. I have a few works in progress that I really hope to finish before the challenge ends, and I know that @Soixenta is working on a story about fairies that tease a troll every full moon (of course they're too small to finish the job).

And for trolls, there's Fairytale of New York.

ETA: I envisioned the character in Upstream as a Celtic river goddess rather than a fairy, but she's most definitely fae.

That's quite poetic, to the point where I expected more rhymes.

For witches, it really depends on the witch. Like Baba Yaga I consider a fairy, but Circe, I do not. Circe, in addition to being from Greece, also just seems far more human to me.

The line between some gods and fae is pretty blurry. Like The Morrigan.

I agree. Circe doesn't have that otherworldly aspect.

Over in the Dark Fairy Tales support thread I suggested Baba Yaga's hut, but with a woman's legs and stockings or boots.

And Arawn and Rhiannon from the Mabinogion.

Other fae-like creatures: some of the antagonists - and even protagonists - from the Arthurian legends: the Green Knight, the Carl of Carlisle, Morgan le Fay (duh!), even Sir Gawain and Sir Percival as sun gods.

So a house with chick legs instead of chicken legs? XD

I also suggested that the witch's name should be changed to Babe Yaga.

It just so happens a game came out recently that might inspire something

https://toribee.itch***/letters-from-the-hollow

Protagonist finds a mysterious letter from a fairy and decides to respond. Letters keep coming from the smitten fae but the letters range from compassionate and tender to threatening and demanding. Even if the protagonist flees, the letters find them…and then at the end, the barrier comes down and the fairy in all their horrific splendor arrives

Another modern fairy tale (or a tale of fairies) is "The War of the Flowers", by Tad Williams. It's a chunk to read, but definitely worthwhile.
