Novik has a short story of a mother getting above her station, inviting five fairies to a party to bless her daughter. There is alcohol. There is one upsmanship. There are blessings given that cannot be taken back. At some point this gets dangerous for the fairies because mutually exclusive blessings can rebound on the giver.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)?
