The OED has a listing for 'fay' as a noun with the definition simply being 
"fairy," and this definition is not labeled as obsolete.

However, the adjective version meaning "fairylike" is, indeed, under 'fey' 
(and also not listed as obsolete, although all variations of the 
above-referenced "doomed to die" are listed as obsolete definitions).
