Stories set in the Oversaturated World, some silly, some less so.
"...Hey Pinkie?"
"Yeah Applejack?"
The farmgirl pointed across the road. "Are ya seein' what Ah'm seein'?"
Pinkie followed her finger. "I'm not seein' what you're seein' if you're seein' somethin' strange. All I'm seein' is a guy leanin' against a wall seein' what he can see. Or she. It's an androgynous figure. Which isn't that odd these days. Why, what are you seein'?"
"...Well, he's got... pointed ears. And not like Rares, either, I mean," She made a gesture. "Woooooosh, you know?"
"Like Battleforge elves?"
"Um...?"
Pinkie pulled her phone out, tapping some keys. "Here. These guys."
"...Ya know, he actually looks a lot like that ta me. Ah mean, it's his eyelashes that are big, not his eyebrows, but--"
"Gotcha. You're seein' something I'm not. I know how to solve this." Pinkie pocketed her phone and pranced across the road.
"Wait, Pinkie, what—?"
"Excuse me, sir or madam! Are you currently or have you ever been under any enchantment, spell, or otherwise magical occurance that results in the alteration of your appearance to outside observers?"
The strange person looked at Pinkie. Applejack facepalmed.
"...Yes." The person nodded. "And now, I feel I must leave." They dissolved into sparkles and spiraled away into nothingness.
Pinkie stood there, staring at where they had been standing, up until Applejack joined her. "Pinkie, if somebody is tryin' ta be disguised, Ah don't think askin' 'are ya disguised' is goin' ta help the situation."
"Well, I wasn't expecting him or her to whisk themselves away like that! What was that all about?"
"Don't ask me! Ah don't have a clue!"
The only thing the fae fear more than total, complete honesty is laughter at their expense.

That said, they are always truthful in what they say and are known to find the smallest things greatly amusing.
7665474 This is, of course, quite understandable, given that most fae seem to spend most of their energy on intrigue among themselves.

Well, the key words are "At their expense", and also... there's plenty ways to lie while telling the complete truth.
Well, what about someone completely honestly having a laugh at their expense? Also with Cold Iron involves somewhere?
So Applejack has some kind of "truth sight" or "first sight" if you go by Discworld terminology?

Yeah, that's Honesty Powers. 'Cause Applejack's Element of Honesty

Ah, but to those who know what they are doing, truthful words can make night into day and turn up to down. One need not be fae...such is the way of the Aes Sedai

Indeed, fae are the only ones I know who give The Father of Lies a run for his money in literally truthful deceptions. It doesn't help that their goals are often beyond what you could reasonably guess upon thier approach.
