Ey, so I wanted to ask if there were any APs that were focused around Fey. I know there's the carnival of tears module (That name is more apt than it should be) but besides that, I've only looked at Fey Revisited which is what sparked the idea for a fey focused game.
The game is gonna be both parts fun (I've heard the term 'beer and pretzels game' thrown around the forums) as well as for testing a Pathfinder remake I've had in the works. (2 years in the making so far, hoping not to make it 3. AND YES I KNOW ABOUT KIRTHFINDER/XFINDER/EVERYONEANDTHEIRGRANDMAFINDER, I've scoured every C/M thread for every mention of houserules on a google docs and have been happily steal- I mean, drawing inspiration from them :3)
This is gonna be a one on one game with a friend of me, both for ease of DMing (since I have little to any experience) and because our mutual friends are kind of hard to play with (Soon as anyone starts getting goodies first, the cattiness comes out). I haven't had a chance recently to work on the campaign or my homebrew rules due to a new job, but I wanna start getting back into the swing of things.
This is gonna be a long lasting campaign, something for us to do whenever we have the free time. I've thought out the beginnings for the campaign, the PC met a young Norn some time ago who was crippled in an accident and became wheelchair bound, and hasn't developed her ability to connect to her other sisters. She has however begun to manifest her powers of clairvoyance during the years she and the PC became friends, and now knows that the PC was the one she was meant to guide all along, as well as hoping that in doing so, the PC can become her eyes and ears in the world to help her track down her sisters, praying that her own crippling accident didn't repeat itself twice.
I have some small adventure seeds for the PC to meet other fey such as dryads, red caps, nymphs (like I said, I've only gotten a hold of Fey Revisited to read). While it's fey focused, fey aren't going to be the only enemies in the campaign, I plan to run the gamut between man vs nature, nature vs nature, dark tapestry vs reality, that whole shebang. Maybe there'll also me a mad golemancer who traps the souls of animals in his constructs. He might even have a lustrous orange mooustache and a distinct silhouette, thin at the top and wide at the bottom, a kind of oval shape if you will.
Oh, I've also planned to give the PC an animal companion regardless of class (she has chosen doge) as well as a helper NPC taken from my own list of past characters to help her on her adventures. It'll basically end up running like a villain of the week type format, the world is just 'generic non-descript fantasy world' since I'm not comfortable enough yet with my own homebrew world, and I'm not too sold on adventuring in Golarion with all its regional intricacies. Each mission she's sent on by her Norn friend will usually take 2 to 3 sessions to complete, and since its a 'whenever we have the time' game these can be finished in the time span of a week to a month.
Edit: I wrote Nords, I meant Norns
Sounds fun. Maybe the first adventure could be to secure a potion of regeneration so the young Norn isn't wheelchair bound anymore.
I don't think there are any AP that deal specifically with the fey. A few of them touch on it here and there.

Kingmaker has a fair amount of fey, although I don't know if it's enough to truly qualify as "focusing around" them.
I just want sources to mine ideas from, really

There's some fey-related mechanical and story (used as an example for one subsystem) stuff in Ultimate Intrigue. Since you've already mentioned grabbing houseruled stuff, I can tell you're looking beyond just Paizo stuff, so there's also a bunch of fey-related 3rd party stuff out there. Rite has In the Company of Fey and Secrets of the Masquerade Reveler, Zombie Sky has Faerie Ring, and those are just off the top of my head. It might be worth crossposting this in the 3pp advice forum to get help on finding other 3pp products from people who know more of them than I do.
I believe Kingmaker has some themes, especially in the last module. Realm of the Fellknight Queen module also comes to mind. If you're not adverse to 3pp I have actually plenty of suggestions from several different publishers.
If anyone's run fey in their own home games I'd be interested in hearing about them as well, along with how your players enjoyed the encounter and what they did to combat or befriend the fey

Beastiary 2 has a fair amount of fey, along with creatures from the Jabberwocky poem. That one, along with Fey Revisited fleshed out my Fey forest for my home brew.
It's already been mentioned, but the Realm of the Felnight Queen module is about fey. And it's awesome, so I figured it worth mentioning again.
And the last volume of Kingmaker is about an evil fey invasion, I believe. I've not read it, so can't pass judgement on that one.
Kingmaker also has encounters with fey and felt-like creatures throughout (at least to book five, which is as far as I've gotten), so consider this a second plug for that one!
Thanks for all the suggestions so far!
I've looked through some of the main beastiary fey via archivesofnethys and I definitely have some ideas for a few of them.
