#but adult timmy still had some lingering fond memories of cosmo and wanda... even if he grew up to be just like his dad

It's not the fact that Danny sees a burning sword or a set of interlocking wheels. It's not that they seem like what angels are said to look like. Danny's seen equally strange things in the Zone after all.

It's that they are drawn to a miserable child. They give the child all the wonders of the universe, all the joys imaginable, and then remove the memories when the covenant is broken or when time finally trickles away. Not even leaving a hint of the delight.

A massive book that few children would want to read. Rules easily broken with a careless thought.

The golden stars are a light in the dark. False hope.

...at least, that's what it seems like. There's still happiness to be looked back on in seemingly normal things. Childhood pets that your parents aren't to clear on who got them for you. Playing with friends even though the memories have surely faded over time to not remember how you managed to set up the game. Surviving whatever made the child miserable enough to need their presence.

The Fairy Godparents are a distraction from the child's situation. A reprieve from things growing worse. Something that is direly needed when things are dark. The almost endless game of pretend is necessary to keep the child's hope and light alive.

And all games must end no matter how enjoyable.

The Fairy Godparents are not human. They do not think like humans. But they desire to help, even with the rules in place that limit both wisher and grantee. They pretend to be small things with a small world, to shield their child.

Danny, an older child yes but dead far too soon, can see them. Perhaps he and Jazz had Fairies of their own before their trust and love of their parents made them say the wrong thing at the wrong time.

But, Danny... there is nothing to fear. Just a little boy and two goldfish. It isn't a lie. They are golden things that move like the air is water. It's just a different way to describe the same concept. Nothing to fear at all.

Be not afraid of their faces. You cannot see Who is with you but there is peace and love here.

hc that danny just sees wanda and cosmo's true forms
