It's so hard to find books that aren't "spicy" (so PLEASE don't reccommend things like A Court of Thorn and Roses). I just want a book where the characters are fairies and get up to fairy hijinks that aren't for little kids.
Fantasy, horror, romance, adventure- any genre will do as long as it's not "spicy" or constantly sexualizing the characters.

*A River Enchanted* by Rebecca Ross – a little light on the fae in the first book but the sequel, *A Fire Endless,* has plenty of faerie action for you. This is a gorgeously written feminist fantasy with strong Celtic vibes. Music plays a big role in it.
*Jonathan Strange and Mr. Norrell* by Susanna Clarke – A long, sort of alt-history fantasy with plenty of faerie magic in it. These faeries are tricky and complex!
The October Daye series by Seanan McGuire (first book is *Rosemary and Rue* – urban fantasy following a fae main character who is a private investigator. Lots of politics but also really fun.
And on the classic side:
Yeats’ *Irish Fairy and Folk Tales* – Yeats truly believed in the fae and spent a lot of time documenting folk traditions and stories of Ireland. I’d recommend his poem ‘The Stolen Child’ as well.
