Disbelief.

From a folklore perspective, it depends on the cultural orgin.  Most Celtic legends include cold iron as one of the few things that can kill the Fae, but salt, various herbs, and other items have been used to ward them off or disrupt their magic.


*claps*

Depends on what is meant by "Fairy"

Irish style Good People:

Christian crosses
recitation of certain Christian prayers
ringing bells, especially church bells
man-made works of Iron like horseshoes, nails and especially blades
uprooting or disturbing their "homes"--cutting down the tree or plant they're connected to, leveling their hill, etc.
tossing them in fires (but really, that works on many things, so not much of a surprise, there)

i've forgotten where i've read this, but wearing red ribbons or thread wards them off.

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.

Laurell K. Hamilton wrote something with a BDSM theme?  And it involved cross species sex?

Surely you jest!

Dose Anyone know or have some clue as to what the natural enemy of a fairy/nympth/ fae creature is ?

If I recall correctly, usually it is an Englishman or an Irishman or a Scotsman.

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.

I would recommend "A Compendium of Irish Mythology" if you want more.
