The fae realm is separated into nine courts with a focus on balance and order.
The seasonals, which reside and rule over the seasonal changes, their power grows and fades with the flow of the year and each court has specialty magic they tend to be strongest in. For instance magic regarding growth and nature tends to be a specialty of Spring and Summer while frost and illusionary magic is specific to Autumn and Winter.
Spring- Queen (currently unnamed)
Summer/Seelie- King Oberon
Autumn- Erlking
Winter/Unseelie- Queen Mab
((this ended up being far too long so I’m putting the rest under read more to keep the dash tidy))
Then there are the Celestial courts with keep balance with the passage of time. These courts are older than the seasons, older than many of the already long-lived fae remember, including the current ruling Royals. Their power is much stronger as they are ancient and draw strength from what they are connected to. Day to the sun, Night to the moon, etc.
Day
Night
Dawn
Dusk
Lastly there is the youngest of the courts. It is not held by the same need for balance and order as the others. Indeed, it manifested with the rise of humans and the fading out of many magical beings.
Clockwork- Queen Lorelei
Once iron and humans became a larger threat than they anticipated to the lives of the fae, the Clockwork court came into being. These fae are unnatural as they don’t have a weakness to iron like the traditional old fae do, they seem to be an amalgamation of organic and brassy contraptions. Their only duty is to protect the other courts from humans and other threats that pose a risk.
Creatures:
Many creatures that once were abundant and have now faded to myth and legend also left the human realm and sought safety in the fae realm. Many creatures also fall under one specific court that they call home. For example, the Wulver fae which inspired a lot of werewolf myths stay in Winters kingdom and are the main guards there, while Centaurs are main border guards for Summers kingdom. Likewise, Night is a ruler of dragons, so dragons tend to stay in his kingdom, and so on and so forth.
TLDR: There are nine fae courts, each with specifics to them and many creatures, not just fae, now call the fae realm their home. It has become a mixing pot of magical creatures all with the purpose of being protected from humans. It’s its own entire world parallel to and separated from humans so they can survive.

“Mab,” Oberon looked up as the Queen sauntered her way into his palace. He stood tall, head high before offering a customary tilt of the head in greeting. He noticed her son was at her side. His own had appeared as well but only stood at his side briefly for introduction. He knew this was difficult for the new prince, so he would not push him into the limelight.
"How was your nap?" He asked, nuzzling him gently and trying to help keep him steady. "There's a fresh loaf of bread on the counter if you want some. "
Yugi finds it hard to sit still a lot of the time, especially in spring and summer so he tends to go on runs or hikes to burn some of his energy. Often times when he does, he is accompanied by what could only be described at a glance as a very large silver dog. But upon closer inspection you would notice that it is indeed a wolf.
Each fae court has a selection of protectors, guards, if you will. And the Unseelie/Winter court tends to have Wulvers as theirs. Wulvers are a wingless variant of fae that can shapeshift. They’re highly protective and many choose to stay in their wolfish forms, living comfortably in either form.
Ash was brought in by Yami ( @niveux ) to help keep an eye on things and protect himself and Yugi while they stay in Domino. Though at first Yugi wasn’t used to having essentially a body guard around his home or himself, Yugi has grown increasingly fond of him and loves when he joins him on his walks.
He’s also a comfort when he has to go important gatherings in the fae realm. Yugi still isn’t used to or comfortable with being treated as a royal or noble of any kind and finds the functions exhausting. It’s a comfort to reach down and touch Ash’s soft ears or even curl up with him when he needs some quiet time away from other nobles pestering him.
Though he wonders if he can convince him sometime to turn into his human form and dance with him....
Fae: ‘ it struck me that i don’t show my feelings for you enough. ’
He tilted his head before smiling gently and brushing Yami’s bangs out of his eyes. “That’s okay, I’ve come to know you over these years. I know your body language, even if you close down and get quiet, I know you still love me.”
“You don’t have to show it all the time. I love you too, you know that?”

Of course they do. So Yugi will pull him close and down into a sweet and tender kiss. Letting him go after a moment so the fae prince could flutter up and cup his face in his hands and give him a kiss of his own. For Atem was held so dearly in both of their hearts.
Oberon paced and paced, the ceremony was drawing close and he had still not received definitive word that his son would even attend, let alone stand with him. Then there was a knock and when he turned, he felt a lump form in his throat. How like the prince he looked...
No...
He was a prince. His son, half human or not, was of his blood. And while he looked similar, he could see the differences now. This was no trick and no cruelty. It was a chance at a new start.
He held out an arm and the new prince stepped forward, practically shaking with nerves. The King placed a gentle hand on his shoulder.
"It will be just fine," he promised softly. "You will do great."
And so they stepped out together to face the crowd.
"Everyone!" He raised his hands to quiet them down. "We all know that it has been difficult, losing a young princeling. Grief...Has made it hard to move on. But over the last couple years I have come to the conclusion that now is the time to finally do that. To take steps forward, instead of always looking at the past."
He let out a sigh, pausing as his eyes glanced over the Queen of Winter and her son. "For more than just us." He finally continued. "Those years ago we lost not just one Prince but two. In different ways, but two kingdoms felt a loss. And for that, I am truly sorry." There were murmurs until he held up his hands again for quiet.
"But now is even more a time to celebrate than just merely the turn of the season. For not just one prince has returned, but we are gifted with the arrival of another." He turned to his son. "Unknown to me for all this time, I had a son. But now, now he is found. And he has come home."
