D&D 5E What happens if I unknowingly teleport into an invisible creature's space?

As title asks.

Thanks.

You end up in the nearest unoccupied space.

Thanks.

With what spell? And in which edition? It all matters.

With what spell?

Misty Step for example or fey step

Misty Step for example or fey step

With Misty Step you can't teleport into an occupied space, so you've made an invalid target. Using the Xanathar's targeting rules, you would go nowhere and lose the spell. Fey Step uses Misty Step, so the same.

The spell fails.

I think the RAW answer is that the spell fails, but I think a more interesting answer would be to use the rules for when an ethereal creature ends its turn inside a creature or object: take 1d10 force damage, and I’d say you’re forced into an adjacent unoccupied space as well.

If you want more interesting you could also take inspiration from the movie the Fly!

Could do, but that would be a lot more work as well.
