Soo.... I'm writing a SPN PJO crossover where Percy is dating Sam and Jessica (Jess). But I don't want to follow the obvious path of "percy is a demigod".
So I was looking at the Supernatural monsters wiki and I came across fairies. And I thought: Perfect.
However I wanted to know your guys thoughts and opinions.
What made me want to choose fairies? This spot in the article attached above.
More of an alignment than an actual type of fairy, 'good' fairies appear human. Unlike other fairies, they seem more akin to the fairies depicted in classical fairy tales, as they live in the woods of Avalon, are much more benevolent, and dislike harming others. They can, however, be bound and forced to kill by magic. They are quite powerful, although binding them seems easy, as even a very weak magic user can do it.
Percy seems like a 'good' fairy who just... didn't want to stay home in forests.
On a reread of the article, i especially loved the beginning part.
Fairies come in many forms, and have been described as "magical and mischievous beings from the realm next door". This realm, Avalon, is considered another dimension or reality. Fairies have been classified into two groups - one consisting of light fairies and the other dark ones. However, there have not been many details about identifying fairy classes.
Fairies, despite having different types, have some form of society and justice system called the Fairy Tribunal. This court decides on the fate of beings that break the presumably existing laws of their kind. This is not limited to fairies, as seen when a fairy named Gilda brought her former human enslaver to face their tribunal. Fairies, despite being different kinds, all seem to cooperate with each other.
They appear to be sensitive to "energy", as one of them made the comment that "fairies are all about energy". In Clap Your Hands If You Believe, the leprechaun that appeared was able to know that Sam Winchester had no soul, as it said that human souls have a certain "perfume".
In addition, it seems they also suffer from arithmomania, a mental disorder that may be seen as an expression of obsessive-compulsive disorder. Sufferers of this disorder have the overwhelming impulse to count their actions or objects in their surroundings. Because of this (and regardless of how powerful any fairy may be), it must stop what it is doing to count every grain of sugar or salt, one by one, if someone pours it in front of them.
Percy won't have arithmomania exactly, but in later chapters and mini fics in the series I have started, counting will make a reoccuring theme.
Also, my series can be found here: Supernatural Relations. My Pilot episode is named "Jericho's Woman in White" instead of "Pilot".
