Iron. Laurell K Hamilton's Merry Gentry series has some steamy scenes w BDSM elements plus magic. My favorite scene starts with Mistral pulling her hair... *** Meredith NicEssus is a faerie princess turned private investigator in a world where faeries are not only known to the general public, but are also fashionable. She takes on the pseudonym "Meredith Gentry" to hide from her family and her past while hiding out in Los Angeles, California as a private investigator at Grey's Detective Agency. Merry, the only Sidhe (pronounced "shEE") royal to be born on American soil, fearing the continuous assassination attempts on her life thinly disguised as duels, flees the Unseelie Court in a final act of self-preservation. Her glamour (the art of magical disguise through illusion) is nearly unrivaled at court, and she is able to pass herself off as a human with fey blood. The general tone of the writing is less of an outright fantasy and more of an alternate history. *** The storyline calls for lots and lots of very unusual sex with a wide variety of faerie and other sentient creatures. Her aunt, the Unseelie Queen, is quite the sexual sadist.

Surely you jest!

[sm=biggrin.gif] I give her minuses for gratuitousness in several categories and pluses for originality, strong female characters, and plot devices that force them to have lots and lots of kinky sex.

nobody has mentioned goblins yet?? goblins are nature enemies to the fae folk

kalikshama -> RE: fairys (1/25/2011 3:20:31 PM)
Except in Laurell K. Hamilton's world, in which goblins are also allies and potential sex partners.

Yay! i heart that website.

The fae come in many varieties. Most are allergic to cold iron to the point of poisoning. They are repelled by citrus, especially lemons. The fae war enough among themselves they need no natural enemies. The tales of the dark court vs the light court fill many a legend. I would recommend "A Compendium of Irish Mythology" if you want more. Stefabn
