#recap3

Time for our quasi weekly recap, reminding you of the things you may have missed while you were working, vacationing, sleeping, or just having a life. 

Lacha and Willow are trying to murder us all with feels and cute babies that hide deep implications. They’re both being far more open and honest than either would have expected and it’s beautiful.

Marigold and Jasmine are having some important twinly bonding over food and I cannot even begin to express how thrilled I am to have both twins taken again.

Nickel has tracked down Jasper, asking probing questions about the Fox Rebellion without coming out and really asking. The two are dancing around each other, getting a feel for whether or not the rebellion might gain a new member.

Speaking of rebellions, Willow is hanging out with Hazel, getting a feeling for her own dissatisfaction. The Holly Rebellion may also gain a new member. #Changelings4Change  Willow is also touching base with Garnet (as is Onyx) and Jasmine.

Peridot is trying to recruit Sean, because who better to fight the power than the overlooked player with a chip on his shoulder? She’s also making deals with Aster and chatting with Onyx. Both rebellions are doing some recruiting, trying to build their numbers so it’s time for rulers to start sweating a bit.

Yvette is trying to get an elixir education from Aster, who’s being rather cryptic because there are some things you’re supposed to figure out for yourself and why do you have so many questions anyway? Subtlety is not Yvette’s strong suit…. But in the end it worked out for her and she got the secret password. Bonus points for persistence. At least she doesn’t have to worry about starving while she does her digging into fey stuff -- Hazel has her in the kitchen of Oakenfold, making her grilled cheese.

Onyx sought out Aster, trying to determine whether or not the Unseelie apprentice could make an elixir that might help Willow on the DL. In exchange, Onyx would owe Aster a favor. TBD whether or not that’s gonna be a thing, though if I were a woman to place bets, I’d say no. When is anything ever that easy?

Forest is back in caretaker mode, popping in on Hazel to try and heal the burn left by Fidchell. Good thing Hazel essentially lives in a greenhouse, lots of plants to tap into.

Don’t worry, though, Yvette is also checking on Forest. Kind of. She ran into him at Oakenfold and, remembering what Nadia told her about how he used to be Kevin Ives, she asked if he was okay. Because that’s more socially acceptable than saying “I met your sister and she thinks you’re in a magical cult, is that true?”

A wild Malachite appeared!! He used buy people drinks. It was very effective.

Rowan is hardcore wallowing in the loss of her magic from the hungry grass, mostly because she’s thinking it’s permanent rather than temporary. Raven, in typical Raven fashion, is not entirely helpful.

Jasmine is drinking with her scarred brethren at the Rookery, trading cocktail/real estate trivia with Aster.

Nadia is continuing to help treat Forest’s injuries from Fidchell, and the two of them are actually talking with some degree of honesty. (Will wonders never cease??) Forest has confirmed the existence of the fey in a roundabout manner without actually saying “Hi, my name is Forest and I’m a feyry.” Nadia has admitted to using 99 on the reg and to the extent of damage the fire caused.

Back in Tara, bets are being settled and promises kept. Lacha announced that Gale is Cam’s father and Adare took the opportunity to drag her (and himself) about it and also get a few digs in at the Princess. 

Jasmine found Adare to remind him that there but for the death of Elise go I and congratulated him on the Fidchell victory and the baby. He internally compared talking to her to having a root canal. #1 Dad

After chatting with Aster, Yvette found herself presented a drink by none other than Malachite himself. Of course it’s spiked with elixir, because Malachite.

Sean is still brooding about not being picked for Fidchell, but is being distracted by Nadia’s terrible renditions of Shania Twain chart toppers. And the fact that Slane, aka some weird Irish dude, told her about the hungry grass.

Nickel and Benji are having a meal with mama Dalton and I love everything about it. Family bonding ftw.

Yvette, ever persistent, is still looking for more answers from both Tiger and Adare. We’ll see if it pays off like it did with Aster.

More newcomers popped up in game and I’m STOKED. Quinn is taking photos in the park and making friends with Aster and Nick and catching up with Forest.

Brielle found what she thought was Adare’s wallet, but he keeps a closer eye on his belongings than that. And also condones the rules of finder’s keepers. Not to worry, though, she’s also performing random acts of kindness for the likes of Aster and Peridot.

Brielle and Quinn are bonding over journals, crystals, and candles. Onyx and Hazel are bonding over baking. Patrick and Brielle are having staring contests. Cuteness abounds.

Though Adare believes the rumblings of change are mostly from the Unseelie court, he’s not stupid an realizes his own has things to be dissatisfied over. He might be feigning ignorance, but he’s aware and hoping he and Oleander can pull another rabbit out of their hats.

I'm interested in the Somskaya but will be thrilled by all of those.

@dilaudid​ answered your question “Okay so, I’m gonna dig into the rest of those prompts today, but I’m...”

i'd say either new atw chapter or next ballad fic !!

THESE ARE BOTH FAIR ANSWERS hm hm, next ballad fic has probably been sitting as a wip the longest, that should probably be a consideration???
