They didn't identify the changelings as part of the fae,
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...
Riley: Maybe I should just let you rest. Buffy: You sure? I bet if you just lay down with me- Riley: Nothing you are about to say will lead to rest.

Because books.
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.

The lost sheep grow teeth, forsake their lambs, and lie with the lions.

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.

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

Oh god, the visual of Dean with foil in his hair was priceless.

Okay, you want romcom? I got romcom: "Twins Stick Together" [link] which is short (maybe even a bit rushed, I didn't want it to resolve as quickly as it did) and doesn't overextend the mistaken identity too far and Castiel is cute as hell, and "Peanut Butter Pumpkin Wedding Cake" [link] which is longer, hotter, and though it takes the mistaken identity cliche far around the bend, there's a nice cap to it.

The Wendigo isn't strictly Western mythology either.
I suppose they could always go the Inca Mummy Girl route if they want to deal with an unexplored classic monster. I'd like to see them deal with Native American folklore like lake monsters and the Cherokee Raven Mockers. Or maybe the Mothman and the Hook for Anglo urban legends.
I could do without a lot of demons next season, and would be quite happy if they avoided angel drama altogether apart from Castiel.
