well there are some legends of fairies abducting people, usually children, and leaving changlings behind so nobody notices, and these are actually the ones we link the name with today, and while they can sometimes be depicted as good lovers there are legends of trickery about them abound as well, especially when they're linked with jealousy.

The Succubus and Lilim tend to be thought of as full on demons more often, but if you call them fairies then in their catagory we can also put Nymphs, Sirens and Rusalka, all of which can be dangerous to varying degrees specifically because they are good lovers.
