You're still vulnerable to having either the Sparkles or the Die stolen/cursed away.

Also, I should think that one shouldn't be able to roll for Loaded Die, use Fairy Fortune to affect that roll, roll for Fairy Fortune, and use Loaded Die to affect that roll. Faced with this situation in the absence of a definite answer, I'd rule that the dust has to clear before you can use the recovered item. That is, if you're recovering Loaded Die with Fairy Fortune, the "do I lose Fairy Fortune" question has to be resolved - either way - before you can use the Loaded Die again.

That breaks the infinite loop in a way consistent with other precedents, and thus I'm confident in that answer, but only Andrew or MM can make it official.
