Fairy Court Cases

A list of all the Fairy Court cases that could be relevant as a reader of my FOP fanfics. Cases I consider more notable have been marked with asterisks.

Amity Angel Safety and Protective Recall Agency v. Abdul - A court case which ruled that only those with current godparent licenses are allowed to act as godparents, and if you don’t have a license and are not assigned to the godkid in question then you’re not allowed to “springboard off” their wish and/or grant their wishes directly.

*Anti-Cosma v. Adelinda von Strangle - This court case allows Anti-Fairies, Pixies, and Anti-Pixies to interact with humans as much as they want, so long as they’re acting as neutral parties. Only if they are being obviously antagonistic are Fairies allowed to interfere, at their own risk. See also, Pinewater v. Shadewind.

*Anti-Firebox v. Ivywish - A court case which states that business owners can refuse to serve “anyone whom they deem suspicious and/or threatening”; i.e. it ruled that discrimination by Fairies against other races (namely Anti-Fairies and later Pixies) is justified. See also, Ivywish (in the “Additional Notes” below).

Anti-Gonzo v. Fairy World - A court case which ruled that members of the Unseelie Court (later was extended to include Pixies as well) can consume sugar as they please and should not be held to the laws of the Fairies which formerly told them not to. See also, Mintwave v. Wandflick.

*Canterbury v. Oakwing - A court case which did away with the old custom of drones being required to identify themselves as drones by dressing in all brown, and wearing bracelets that identified their supervising gyne. This case also ended the requirement of drones identifying themselves as drones in legal documents. Under this case, no one is supposed to out a drone without their permission. Drone rights were further protected in Waterberry v. Reddinski.

Cloudjump v. Anti-Shale - A court case which ruled that riding the trams repeatedly to exploit them for cheap food is not okay. Often critisized for arguably allowing prejudice against the homeless.

Dustfinger v. Cadence von Strangle - A court case which ruled that godkids can keep their godparents through to adulthood if it can be proven they have an utter physical dependency upon their godparent, such as if they live alone in the desert with no friends and limited access to food and water, or if there is reason to believe the godkid will be drastically damaging to society without a godparent. This is also known as Utter Dependency Clause. See also, Magnifico v. Amity Angel Safety and Protective Recall Agency.

Ebonii v. Cairo - A court case which ruled that after the memories of a godkid or other witnesses are erased, all memories must be kept in storage in the Fairy World Archives basement until their former owner dies.

Epipole v. Fairy World - A court case which prohibits outsiders from interfering with the will o’ the wisp lifestyle, given that most of them live underground in their burrows and very few interact with the Fairies anyway.

*Eros v. Longwood - A court case which ruled that pixies are forbidden from being in any Fairy World time zone where the time has passed seven in the evening. Additionally, pixies can only mate in Pixie World, or Cupid is legally allowed to arrest them. See also, Kalahari Act (In “Additional Notes” below).

Ivorie v. Goldenglow - A court case which argued that the tax will o’ the wisps pay on non-wisp drakes living with them should not be dropped; REJECTED due to conflicts with Epipole v. Fairy World that prevent outsiders from interfering with the goings-on of will o’ the wisps and their burrows.

Longwood v. Sanderson - A court case which ruled that despite their genetic relations, pixies are considered individuals and therefore that eating each other’s specially-marked packages of food out of the freezer is legally considered theft.

Longwood v. Sanderson II - A court case which ruled that pixies who don’t perform the minimum required hours of work in the office per week will be required to pay a fine and make up hours via community service over the following week(s), in addition to scrambling to meet their minimum for that week.

Longwood v. Sanderson III - A court case which ruled that pixies who do not follow curfew rules can be fined for disturbing the peace.

Longwood v. Sanderson IV - A court case which ruled that breaking and entering is not a crime when one has reason to believe their health and safety may be in danger, especially if it’s Halloween.

Longwood v. Sanderson V - A court case which ruled that even pixies over age of majority are not allowed to stray beyond the borders of Pixie World after hours without the written consent of the Head Pixie or some figure of higher rank (such as the Keeper of Da Rules, Mother Nature, Father Time, the Fairy Elder, or the Eros Triplets).

Longwood v. Sanderson VI - A court case which ruled that selkies and swanee are immune from the rulings of the Kalahari Act, which forbids relationships between Fairies and Pixies. Nothing can be done about the sideways glances one might get from the breaking of social norms, though.

Longwood v. Sanderson VII - “The Tree-Hugger Case”; a court case which ruled that murders which occur on Pixie vapor (i.e. Pixie World and the territories its subsidiary companies control) fall under Pixie jurisdiction unless the murdered figure was ranked a duke or duchess or higher in terms of social status (You may notice the loophole that if someone kills you in Pixie territory, they could theoretically be ruled innocent by the Head Pixie and get off with no charges and Fairy World and Anti-Fairy World can’t do a thing about it).

*Longwood v. Sanderson VIII - “The Bumper Cars Case”; a court case which gave Sanderson the right to legally adopt young Gary and Betty (and Betty’s brother, Kenny) after their respective parents hit each other in a car crash. This is the first case of a non-Fairy adopting a human, so it was kind of a huge deal. The Fairy Council settled the disputes over whether Pixies would use wishes to manipulate the universe in their favor by deciding to “lock up” the three humans’ abilities to “wish”.

Luna v. Fairy Court - A court case which ruled that memories are too easy to manipulate with magic and cannot be solely used as evidence in court without multiple witnesses and the existence of relevant items clearly not touched recently by magic; usually brought up if there is concern that clones were involved in a situation and is why Fairies show video clips in court.

*Magnifico v. Amity Angel Safety and Protective Recall Agency - A court case which ruled that Juandissimo could be reunited with Remy and that Remy is allowed to retain his godparent and his magical memories through adulthood so long as he remains rich and influential, doesn’t spill the fairy secret or wish Juandissimo away, and accepts that he’s forbidden to make wishes after the age of eighteen. See also, Dustfinger v. Cadence von Strangle.

*Mintwave v. Wandflick - A court case which ruled that Fairies who practice magic under the influence of sugar will receive high fines and may have their starpieces revoked for up to three months. See also, Anti-Gonzo v. Fairy World.

Obsidian v. Horace - A court case which ruled that genies don’t have the right to lawyers.

*O’Weskar v. Pixies Incorporated - A court case which ruled that Fairies are forbidden from interacting with injured or sickly pixies, and that pixies must be kept in the isolation wings of medical care facilities. Also, killing a pixie will incur capital punishment.

*Pinewater v. Shadewind - A court case which ruled that deliberately antagonizing or interfering with a neutral party on Earth (as determined in the rulings of Anti-Cosma v. Adelinda von Strangle) is grounds for getting in trouble with the law, including paying a fine and potentially doing jail time.

Pixie World v. Starshine Studios - A messy court case about what you can and can’t say in songs about minority groups. It first came up when Wanda sang her “Mamas, Don’t Let Your Babies Grow Up To Be Pixies” song.

Porter v. Starshine Kiss - A court case which ruled that if a godchild draws their godparents and someone sees it, the godkid can say “I drew my fairy godparents” or “I drew my imaginary friends” and won’t lose their godparents.

Quickflap v. Abel - A court case which ruled that there are no legal punishments for killing sprites.

Sanderson v. Longwood - An attempted court case which argued that pixies shouldn’t be allowed to kiss during work hours; never went through due to pixies being laughed out of the courtroom for bringing up the idea at all.

*Snow v. Carmichael - A court case which ruled that godchildren who intentionally reveal the existence of another kid’s godparents will lose their own godparents as a result.

Sparkletail v. Whimsifinado - A court case which ruled that Pixies can make their own starpieces, but aren’t allowed to distribute them to non-pixies. Any non-pixie caught with a pixie starpiece will have it terminated.

*Tenderfir v. Redbrush - A court case which ruled that humans aren’t allowed to spend more than eight hours straight in the lowest areas of the cloudlands, and as little as one hour in some of the upper areas. This is due to the limited amount of oxygen there, so humans who stay too long will asphyxiate. Visits to Earth to break up these periods of time in Fairy World are required by law.

*Valleysky v. Geraldson - A court case which ruled that Fairies are allowed to legally adopt humans under the age of eighteen if said human has no legal guardians otherwise. You have to be cleared by the Amity Angel Safety and Protective Recall Agency and possibly the Fairy Council, though. Sanderson argued in Longwood v. Sanderson VIII that pixies should be allowed to adopt humans under the same conditions too, and won.

*Waterberry v. Reddinski - A court case that followed in the footsteps of Canterbury v. Oakwing and granted drones more rights, including the right to make eye contact with gynes, the right to legally marry, and the right to apply for jobs without a gyne’s permission.

Whimsifinado v. Caudwell - One time Caudwell tried to abandon his life as a pixie. H.P. said no. In fact, this case ruled that age of majority for pixies is 250,000 and not 200,000 as it is for Fairies, and that the Head Pixie has legal say to choose whether his pixies can leave. Technically, all pixies out beyond the borders of Pixie World without a permit written by him are supposed to be arrested and brought back.

Whimsifinado v. Eros Nest - A court case which ruled that under Aphrodite Protocol, the use of a yoo-doo doll to restrain someone does not qualify as cruel and unusual punishment.

*Whimsifinado v. Fairy Court - A court case which argued that if there are not enough fairy godparents to go around, Pixies are next in line to act as godparents to humans. Pixies won under Section F Subsection O Amendment I of Da Rules, but rather than give in, the Fairy Council ordered godchildren to share godparents instead. As a result, Chloe was assigned to Cosmo and Wanda instead of to a pixie. This court case was created by the amazing @zachbrightside and is featured in his upcoming “Big Fairy Share Scare” rewrite, In Over My Head.

*Whimsifinado v. Fairy World - A court case which ruled that Pixies should be their own class and are no longer to be classified under the Fairy umbrella on the grounds that they cannot reproduce with Fairies (or members of the Unseelie Court, or beyond the class of the Fairykind either).

Whimsifinado v. Knuckleheads - A court case which ruled that the Fairy World courthouse is to be used for serious purposes only and not for settling silly squabbles, particularly if said squabbles can be resolved through good communication and/or the weighing in of the Head Pixie.

ADDITIONAL NOTES

Blood Processed Sugar Content - The equivalent of blood-alcohol content. Under Mintwave v. Wandflick, it’s against the law to practice magic with a blood sugar concentration of .10 or more.

Ivywish - A common word in Anti-Fairy society in reference to the Anti-Firebox v. Ivywish case. Saying something like, “They pulled ol’ Ivywish on me” or “They went Ivywish” means, “They discriminated against me on the basis of my being an Anti-Fairy.”

Kalahari Act, The - A law passed in the name of Aphrodite Protocol that forbids Fairies from mating with pixies. Longwood has toed this rule by pulling the selkie girlfriend card. See also, Eros v. Longwood and Longwood v. Sanderson VI.

Xero Act, The - Under this law, the sterilization of Anti-Fairies (Refracts were later included) is forbidden (It was a common practice in the olden days, until Fairies realized that their children were dying due to not having an anti-fairy to split their heavy load of magic with).

Hey, I noticed In "Baby, You're a Rich Man" and your other stories that you make references to fictional court cases and such. In the interest of world-building, can you compile the court-cases that you've devised so far? I find them oddly interesting (I'm such a dork...).

Not dork enough to know I already did! /shot

The compilation is only in my story bible, not on Tumblr, so I don’t blame ya for missing it. Makes this post really easy for me. Here it is on Tumblr, with links:

FAIRY COURT CASES

Anti-Cosma v. Adelinda von Strangle - This court case allows Anti-Fairies, Pixies, and Anti-Pixies to interact with humans as much as they want, so long as they’re acting as neutral parties. Only if they are being obviously antagonistic are Fairies allowed to interfere, at their own risk (See also, Pinewater v. Shadewind). Anti-Cosmo himself is the one who fought for it.

Anti-Firebox v. Ivywish - A court case which states that business owners can refuse to serve “anyone whom they deem suspicious and/or threatening”; i.e. it ruled that discrimination by Fairies against other races (namely Anti-Fairies and later Pixies) is justified. See also, Ivywish.

Cloudjump v. Anti-Shale - A court case which ruled that riding the trams repeatedly to exploit them for cheap food is not okay. Arguably allows prejudice against the homeless.

Dustfinger v. Cadence von Strangle - A court case which ruled that godkids can keep their godparents through to adulthood if it can be proven they have an utter physical dependency upon their godparent, such as if they choose to live alone in the desert with no friends and limited access to food and water, or if there is reason to believe the godkid will be drastically damaging to society without a godparent. This is also known as Utter Dependency Clause, and Juandissimo called the “drastically damaging” loophole just before “Remy Rides Again” to justify returning Remy’s memories. See also, Magnifico v. Amity Angel Safety and Protective Recall Agency.

Ebonii v. Cairo - A court case which ruled that after the memories of a godkid or other witnesses are erased, all memories must be kept in storage in the Fairy World Archives basement until they die.

Eros v. Longwood - A court case which ruled that pixies are forbidden from being in any Fairy World time zone where the time has passed seven in the evening. Additionally, pixies can only mate in Pixie World, or Cupid is legally allowed to arrest them. See also, Kalahari Act.

Ivorie v. Goldenglow - A court case which argued that the tax will o’ the wisps pay on non-wisp drakes living with them should not be dropped; rejected due to conflicts with Epipole v. Fairy World that prevent outsiders from interfering with the goings-on of will o’ the wisps and their burrows.

This is the first case of a non-Fairy adopting a human, so it was kind of a huge deal. The Fairy Council settled the disputes over whether Pixies would use wishes to manipulate the universe in their favor by deciding to “lock up” the three humans’ abilities to “wish”. Which was the whole reason behind Sanderson trying to adopt them, so then he got stuck with them after that.

Luna v. Fairy Court - A court case which ruled that memories are too easy to manipulate with magic and cannot be used as evidence in court without multiple witnesses and the existence of items clearly not touched recently by magic.

Magnifico v. Amity Angel Safety and Protective Recall Agency - A court case which ruled that Juandissimo could be reunited with Remy and that Remy is allowed to retain his godparent and his magical memories through adulthood so long as he remains rich and influential, doesn’t spill the fairy secret or wish Juandissimo away, and accepts that he’s forbidden to make wishes after the age of eighteen.

It’s also against the law for Anti-Fairies to sterilize themselves in an attempt to avoid having pups.

Come. Be a dork with me.
