They didn't identify the changelings as part of the fae, though, as far as I recall.
Mal: We're still flying. Simon: That's not much. Mal: It's enough.

The lost sheep grow teeth, forsake their lambs, and lie with the lions.
Hmm. Faerie could be interesting. The Wild Hunt could be very interesting on a thematic level as well as just being really cool.
I would also like to see them deal with some non-western creatures at some point, if it could be done without too much research!fail. Kitsune or jiang shi could be fun.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.

They did, a bit, right? The demon at Cold Oak was non-western.
Jamaican folklore would rock. Iffen I had the chops, I'd write them up against a rolling calf or other duppies.
I did read a fic, I'm now remembering, where Dean had a kid with a kitsune. That was...weird.

Do Imisremember? I thought there was a queen. Hmm now I don't remember whether or not she was a Faerie queen. At any rate definitely from faerie legends...

She was just the main beast, Typo. They never mention that changelings are faerie lore (although in Western folklore they're not strictly faerie, either), and they never call her the "queen" in the episode.
A selkie could be good and heartbreaking, but it's not really vicious at all.

I wouldn't mind seeing a few more not-evil supernatural creatures like that for just that reason - it could be heartbreaking if done well.

Okay, if you like AU D/C romcom (WTF? But I'm addicted, it seems): Boys Helping Boys. I found it very charming. And it doesn't even hie to most of my vocal Castiel-related AU rules.

This puts me very in mind of Torchwood's faerie episode.

I agree, Anne -- if they stumble across something while looking for another case, and realize a man has imprisoned his wife on land by hiding her skin, Dean and Sam would definitely step in.
And then heartbreak and angst all around!

Days shrink and grow cold, sunlight through leaves is my song. Winter is long.
Ohhh, I'd love a good selkie story!
And, every time I hear the word selkie, I think of the scene in Rob Roy, and Jessica Lang's sleepy, "I dreamed a selkie came..." being wakened by an amorous Liam Neeson.
Mmmm, selkie.

So come, my friends, be not afraid/We are so lightly here/It is in love that we are made; In love we disappear
This puts me very in mind of Torchwood's faerie episode.
Which was VERY CREEPY. I say, having just watched it last night.
