Such creatures are common to encounter in the Fae realms. Even the Fae tread cautiously around them, for they are tricksters and the benign often resembles that which can kill.

Controlling waterfowl is a Fae power, but on its on, is neutral. It is not bad or good to control the water fowl, it depends what you use them for.

Definitely something built by a Fae artisan.

Dryads are known to enjoy the occasional spa day. This is the equivalent of alternating between the hot water bath and the cold pool.

POV: You're a naiad trying to back away slowly from your ex, the frozen waterfall, who you had a chilly parting with, before they spot you and you have to have an awkward conversation.

This works with some Fae, but others enjoy punishment, so, you know. YMMV.

Fae tricks. Even physics can be a bit Fae and have an appetite for playfulness and beauty, sometimes.

“Baikal Zen”: Rocks that have fallen on the ice of Lake Baikal are heated by sunlight and emit infrared rays that melt the ice below. Once the sun is gone, the ice becomes solid again, creating a small support for the rock above.

Yes, us Fae would have been more than amenable to that.

I sit here, consumed with the knowledge that Supernatural brought up the idea of faerie realm twice and did absolutely nothing with it. They told us that the fae don't have to adhere to any of God's rules. They can sneak in and out of different realms. That first born sons are claimed by King Oberon and serve his court. And then they just dropped it. How the fuck do you drop that?

Hear me out. How fucking cool would it have been if you get the Winchesters making sneaky deals with fairies? Sam Winchester looking over contracts and changing wordings that would trap them and use his fucking law degree. And you know that there would be some fae that would look at Dean Winchester and just immediately go "this is the one I will screw over everyone for". Castiel glaring daggers, never trusting em.

I'm just saying it was a cool concept that could have been used to help them multiple times instead of them always proposing to live on an abandoned planet or yeeting themselves in the ocean for all time. Definitely better than BMOL

Give the Fae moss your boots in tribute!

Iceland: Moss and Lava The moss grows like a thick cozy blanket on top of the rough lava fields – sometimes surprisingly thick as my boots sink in and get lost before hitting solid ground.
