What demands would the Fairy Queen make?

And, of course, if the PC responds inappropriately to Queen Mab's gift of joining the upper crust of the "Lords & Ladies" and the spouse complains to Her Highness, that will just give her an excuse to discipline the ungrateful mortal...and all of his associates.

Does she have any pull with the Lord of the Hunt in your campaign?:devil:

As others have mentioned, there are many ways to go with this, depending on whether you prefer to focus on the lighter or darker side of the fey, as well as whether you prefer something tangible, a service, or something we would normally consider intangible.

Here are some suggestions:
Tears of a maiden over a love lost before its full bloom
The tooth of a monster never defeated by mortal hands
A dragon's remorse
A child's happiness
The child with the comet birthmark upon its shoulder
The hand of one born under Caiphon (interestingly could resolve itself via marriage).
A REALLY BIG favor.
A day of vacation (have the PCs run her kingdom for a day).
A proper husband for Mab's (currently) favorite niece.
A day of your lives (when they agree, have the PCs feel as though nothing has happened, but discover that a day has passed. Later have them run into people that remember what they did during the day they are missing).
An invitation to the Emperor's Ball.
They must be guests at her Ball that night.
 

Tears of a maiden over a love lost before its full bloom

What? Give 'em something tough: The tears of a young man over a love lost that he didn't fight for.

THAT will be one that challenge them.

Demands

In Tymora's Luck, Ilsensine demands a song he's never heard before from the minor deity Finder as the price for letting him go (Finder not only have to give the song, but all memory of it in his own head). Which is difficult since Ilsensine is a massive collector of knowledged and there's very little he hasn't heard before.

Of course, he ends up asking for Finder to take it back, in return for a favor- since it's a recursive song that never ends, and he can't stop thinking about it.

Something similar could apply here- Mab could demand a memory, of something completely new to her.
