I tend to define 'fae realm' as 'far away' so even if the action happens in the lobby of the apartment building, if it's not specifically anchored to the mundane world, it counts as distant. I think this is why I like things like "Mom and Dad on the Home Front" or, oh, there was one in Strange Horizons that was years after a Narnia event, and the people dealing with it-- it deals with the fantastic, but is in the mundane world.
But that is a wonderful distinction, and I shall poke at it throughout the day.
