Both of these sound like they could be awesome deconstructions of the YA modern fantasy genre, specifically the trope that the fantastic is by itself Awesome and Special. Team Human in particular sounds like a Twilight parody, starting from the title. It doesn't seem like either book delved too deeply into the implications of their chosen premises, though.
In fact, reading the two titles together at the head of your post I assumed this was about overlithe's epic Legend of Korra-hatespired screed, LoK, Being on Team Human, and Stories About Nothing (http://overlithe.livejournal.com/185772.html). (The title of Part 1 is in fact "Fairies and Fascists, or Fleeing From Humanity," another reason for the confusion.)
