#recap4

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. This week brought us another influx of new characters to love and I’m going to have to get better at doing these ACTUALLY weekly because y’all have been busy! Let’s get into it.

Aster decided to get a few rounds after his shift at the bar then proceeded to try and buy Hyacinth a drink. Only problem was Hyacinth was working and is apparently no fun. At all.

Maybe Hyacinth would be more fun if his girlfriend hadn’t just died in An Fidchell (the world may never know) but sadly Elise has shuffled off this mortal coil.

Willow and Garnet are having a girl’s night. Garnet, to everyone’s eternal relief, is finally realizing maybe she deserves better than the King (-GASP-) who doesn’t love her.

Nadia is engaging in retail therapy and getting the opinions of anyone who will stand still long enough to provide one.

Adare asked Forest to keep an eye out for Knox, since Onyx noticed him hanging around.

Larkspur and Benji are still chatting, though Lark is now giving specific elixir recommendations. I feel like this can only end in tears.

In case no one noticed, Patrick is tall. 

Adare and Willow’s conversation is going beyond the typical surface chat and real questions are getting asked. It seems like Adare is really trying to make sure Willow knows he is trying to make things better for the court. Whether or not they believe him is another story.

Since Nadia struck out with Forest in terms of discovering what Slane meant when he referenced the fey, she’s turned to Sean. Perhaps because he’s tired of watching her flail uselessly, Sean is actually giving her some answers.

Ember and Kaitlin are spending the 4th drinking together at the Irish pub.

Memes. Text memes everywhere. And some people (you know who you are) took that whole heartbreaking text a bit too seriously. Ouch.

Rowan is apparently starting a mentorship program for young unseelie, taking time to offer assistance and instruction to both Camellia and Larkspur. I would love for both of them to start following her around and trying to be just a little more like Ro in how they dress and talk. Wishful thinking? Probably, but I can see an AU forming. (No one judge me, its 4 am)

Nickel got drunk at a wedding in Jersey and texted Hazel to see about getting some mac and cheese. Hazel, after a little confusion, agreed because who doesn’t love a stray?

If you’d like to know more about Adare and his former wife, Bethany wrote a literal novel. But it’s beautiful and worth reading. Also informational. Did you know lushy was a word in 1849? I didn’t. Gotta read to find out context…. 

Ember is treating Quinn to a night on the town. And by town, I mean water. On a yacht. To rub elbows with a certain unnamed hollywood actor.

Willow has given Hazel a bit more info on the rebellion and Hazel, like the dork she is, is making Star Wars comparisons in her mind. If they ever try to teach her to fight, expect her to make lightsaber noises.

Adare and Marigold are having a moment. Possibly because Adare is drunk. Regardless, a moment was had -- with a hug, no less. Adare told her that he loved her mother and loved (note the past tense, intentional or not) her and her sister.

Ember and Cobalt are hanging out at the bar, but not splitting nachos… because Cobalt is selfish about that kind of thing.

Marigold and Forest are also hanging out at a bar for drinks, sans nachos. They’re contemplating places they’d rather be. So far better options include beaches, mountains, and some place upstate.

Cobalt and Willow are being adorable and also pushing the boundaries of appropriate workplace conduct at Oakenfold.

Adare revealed to the Seelie Court that he was working on a fix to the fertility crisis but that the fix might actually be another problem. A problem named Knox Bakshi who may or may not be stalking and/or murdering fey. Good talk.

Peridot is picking up where Jasper left off (someone please recruit us a Jasper) and touching base with Nickel. Because the rebellion’s motto is “the more, the merrier.” 

Sean has named his price to join the rebellion -- the name of the changeling who took his place. It could get uncomfortable if both Nickel and Sean are recruited.

Hazel and Cobalt got stuck working late and are debating the merits of Red Bull.

Kaitlin finally returned Davey’s cat to him. Pros: positive, chipper, rambly Davey. Cons: he can’t remember why he shouldn’t be those things.

Speaking of Davey, he decided after a month of hiding out with his fam (a well deserved break, I’m sure) he’d try to figure out why he had a poker chip from a casino. His presence brought about a few different reactions. Adare “recognizing” his neighbor, Quinn checking on a stranger, Tyler legit checking on a stranger, Hazel turning into a dog to try to keep him from returning to repeat his mistakes, etc.

Brielle totally stole Adare’s watch (by accident, of course) so Adare decided coffee wasn’t enough and has asked her to join him for dinner to return it. Patrick sees no problem with this arrangement, provided Adare continues to be generous. He’s hoping for a taco truck. 

Kaitlin decided she’d moped long enough and took to dancing in the rain with friends and sort of strangers alike.
