The fairies

In the fourth episode Cinderella asks Rosamund whether she has had any interactions with fairies, and Rosamund says she was given gifts by fairies NA E4·01:05:07 NA E4·01:05:58.

She tells Rosamund "beware of fairies. They do not mean you well." NA E4·01:16:44 A fairy with turquoise hair says she and all the other fairies are working as hard as they can to fix the times of shadow and the Neverafter NA E4·01:51:25.

In the fifth episode Rosamund says that in her story she has seven fairy godmothers and one bad fairy godmother, and Pinocchio remembers his bad fairy as one who felt of shadow NA E5·00:30:15 NA E5·00:30:48.

In the fourteenth episode Alba Mac Lir says the fairies say ruin will come to the Neverafter should the witches not side with them NA E14·00:18:00. Snow White says the eight fairies are in this world, though the Gander's force is so powerful that none may leave NA E14·01:25:41. In the eighteenth episode seven fairies descend into a clearing, and the Red Fairy tells Rosamund that the prince is her true love NA E18·00:50:31 NA E18·00:51:44. She says the fairies did not do this to him, and that it is the corruption of the Gander on the space of the Neverafter NA E18·00:50:50. The Blue Fairy asks Rosamund to show where the ink is kept and to bring a book with blank pages, promising to set everything right NA E18·00:51:57. The Green Fairy says the stories have their sorrows, and the Wicked Fairy says Rosamund's story has already been written NA E18·00:52:50 NA E18·00:54:45.

NA E19·02:02:52 NA E19·02:02:59 In the finale Brennan says the whole conclave of fairies surges in with access to the ink, which is the will of the Authors made manifest NA E20·00:01:28. The Godmother cries "Quickly! Destroy the book holders!" NA E20·00:39:14 The Wicked Fairy says they have one chance to put the stories back the way they were NA E20·00:56:50. In the battle Brennan says a wolf's tooth from Pib kills the Green Fairy, the injured Blue Fairy, hit earlier by Rosamund's critical, dies at the top of Rosamund's turn, Baba Yaga kills the Red Fairy, and Pib's dagger sends the Yellow Fairy into the pages NA E20·00:44:44 NA E20·00:24:35 NA E20·00:55:47 NA E20·01:03:33 NA E20·01:12:18. Gerard's attack with Rosamund's book sucks the Fairy Godmother and then the Wicked Fairy into it NA E20·01:04:31 NA E20·01:05:48 NA E20·01:06:26.
