Been thinking about how Nevermoor animation series could work so well with The Crow Mansion being dark and grey and then the Deucalion and the city in general would be a fantasy of color with always- present gold highlight
And despite being very visible against such a colorful background, Morrigan slowly gain gold highlights, too.
Yes yes YES
i'm really interested to get to know bertram better in future books because one thing that struck me about his interactions with both meredith and vesta is that he seems to really fucking hate it when parents have the opportunity to help their kids but just... don't. vesta's parents could've taken him up on an offer for a better mobility aid that would vastly improve their daughter's quality of life, or even bought a better one somewhere else, but instead they ignored him and didn't even bother to ask vesta what she wanted. meredith's parents could've gotten her out of the wintersea republic (or at least tried) and they instead turned her back on her and guaranteed she'd stay there forever.
and maybe i'm reading too much into it, but i do wonder if that made him think about his mom, who could've done the easy thing, the selfish thing, but instead did the hard thing and sent her son away, knowing she'd never see him again, knowing he might hate her for it, in order to save his life and give him a future. and maybe that's why, despite their differences, he did help jupiter with morrigan; not just because of their shared unit, but because bertram knows, whatever he may think of jupiter personally, jupiter would move mountains for any child under his care. and that's something bertram respects.
ezra squall 100% has some human left in him. there's the obvious example, like when he let morrigan have the option to decline the apprenticeship, but i want to show you another more obscure example from the first book, when he was still masquerading as Mr Jones. morrigan and hawthorne are returning from the fright trial, when morrigan gets knocked down. ezra reached down to help her up, despite the fact that he would be given away if she had actually accepted his help. there's something so inherently human in wanting to help another so much that it momentarily eclipses your main goal, in this case, don't get caught being actually just on the gossamer line. there are other examples im sure and there will almost CERTAINLY be a lot more in silverborn but this moment stuck out to me as i was listening because of how close he came to getting caught just because he wanted to help morrigan up😭
SOBBING
I NEEED to see bertram’s reaction to morrigan’s apprenticeship with squall in the next book. I NEEED to see Corvus Crow live finding out his daughter and brother are alive and I NEEED to see Ornella again in neverfive
Me tooo!!!!
Does anyone have some good Morrigan Crow/Nevermoor fanfiction recommendations???
Everything, and I mean everything by morrigancrows / @odbuoyjemmity is so good!!
Admittedly I mostly read Jupiter stuff so I may not be of much use to you, but here are some of my favorites:
https://archiveofourown.org/works/67752546 - like spare coins poised on the tip of my tongue - On the day Rosie and Arj come home, Jupiter quits the League. Just uhg them
https://archiveofourown.org/works/66132304/chapters/170434558 - 'cause you've been too busy thinking ahead - Elder Jupiter AU!! Literally one of my favorite fics ever. I eat this shit up every time
https://archiveofourown.org/works/76494196 - older brother cousin- Really cute short Wunsoc Jack fic
https://archiveofourown.org/works/72551476 - the darkest hour of the darkest night comes right before - Jupiter, Rosie, + Arj Orpheus and Eurydice au. So sad.
And Tj (the writer of these) has a lot of good stuff in their bookmarks too, so that's a good place to start
aww thanks jet. right back at it with anything by my friend above (purrassicjet on ao3 also)
had i known, how to save a life arj, rosie, and jove angst. heartbreaking. makes me cry every time (silverborn spoilers)
The Letters from Unit 895 jove's unit want to know about mog. also a banger (all of these are bangers that's why they're on the list) (silverborn spoilers)
Hurt And Grieve But Don't Suffer Alone chanda and jove are BESTIES (silverborn spoilers)
my favourites by other people also include: Highly Inappropriate Crushes: The Dread of Morrigan Crow by @shoot-i-messed-up aka unit 919 being annoying teenagers. it's so funny i laugh every time (silverborn spoilers)

jeremiah 17:9 by @mrs-mildmay mog and cadence!!! mog and cadence!!!
and of course psa to leave comments and kudos if you liked a fic. a lot of work goes into writing a fic and the vast majority of writers like hearing that they're not in fact screaming into the void
Thank you both so much!!!
Does anyone have some good Morrigan Crow/Nevermoor fanfiction recommendations???
Squall said that at some point Morrigan is going to start understanding/feeling whose wundrous act is what.
So imagine one day Mog walks in at the Deucalion with him and she freezes like: "this YOURS? This WHOLE tiME?"
I want to know if Meredith and Corvus had a beautiful tragic love story. I want to know Corvus reaction to Meredith death. I want to know what Meredith thought of morrigan before she died. I want to know what morrigan thought of her mother in the first 11 years old her life. I want to know Corvus reaction to Meredith being pregnant. I want to know if Corvus married ivy before she reminded him of his first love.
This.
all I want for christmas is a new nevermoor book 😔
THERE’S GOING TO BE NINE (9) NEVERMOOR BOOKS!!!!!
PLEASE DREAMWORKS! MAKE NEVERMOOR AN ANIMATED SERIES! THIS IS YOUR CHANCE TO MAKE ONE OF THE MOST FAMOUS BOOKS OUT THERE INTO AN ACTUAL ANIMATED SERIES WITH GORGEOUS EFFECTS AND MAGIC! PLEASE!!!
YES YES YES
Wintersea Basement Theory + Five Years
One thing I noticed a few rereads ago was there was an interesting line up between Corvus Crow becoming Chancellor of Great Wolfacre
"That he was enjoying his fifth year as state chancellor despite such a handicap was a daily miracle to Corvus Crow, and the question of whether he could sustain this implausible luck for another year was a daily anxiety"
(Nevermoor: The Trials of Morrigan Crow, Chapter One: The Cursed Crow)
and Jack's permanent residency at the Hotel Deucalion
"'Your chair? You've lived here all of five minutes and you've claimed the furniture? I've lived here five years. This happens to be where I eat my breakfast.'"
(Nevermoor: The Trials of Morrigan Crow, Chapter Twelve: Shadows)
Originally I wrote this off as a coincidence, since I had been of the camp that Jack's parents were dead and nothing more was to be said about it without more information. But! With Silverborn out we have more information, and I'm more interested now about what could possibly be up with Rosie and Arj and where they could be.
Last summer, when the final delay was announced, and AUS paperback/US cover was revealed, Jessica Townsend did a Q&A, with two answers in particular that I found curious [full transcript here and video by @/nevermoor source:
What’s one thing about the direction of the series from Silverborn onwards you can say? This is such a good question, So I remember, one or two books ago, talking to my publishers about kind of the structure of the series and the way that I see it. And I've talked about this before in interviews about how I see the series as being like, it's all one story. It's all Morrigan. It's all Morrigan’s point of view. But thematically they feel to me like three separate “acts.” And I feel like the first act is Morrigan. It's like her immediate world. It's herself. It's her friends. It's finding a new family. It's finding her way in this new city. And books four to six sort of feel like it's zooming out. So we're in quite close on Morrigan and her immediate, like, experiences of the world personally. And it's seen through that lens. And then with four, five, and six, it's like, we sort of zoom out and just see more of the world. We see more of Nevermoor kind of socially and politically and geographically A lot of different parts of Nevermoor that we haven't seen open up. She learns more about the Wundrous Society, more about herself and her own past and origins and family. And then book seven, eight, nine kind of zoom out again. And we see… it's really tricky without trying to sort of give too much away, but, yeah… I feel like I nearly said too much.
Are we getting a realm hopping boom? Well! Definitely possibly!!
In Silverborn, Jack reveals that in the Spring Term, he's planning on accepting the League's offer to join them, with conditions around becoming an officer far sooner, to start his plans around joining the League and immediately going AWOL to look for his parents.
He smiled a disconcertingly vicious smile. 'Because I want them to keep coming on their little fishing expeditions. I always decline to speak to them, but I'm letting them see my resolution waver, and in the spring term I'll finally, reluctantly agree. Then my plan begins.' [...] 'I'm playing the long game. Laying the groundwork for a negotiation. If they want me to enlist, I'm going to be the first person in history to become a ranked officer at eighteen, after my year of academy training. As a lieutenant, I won't have to wait four years to travel to outer realms like the other academy chumps.' His eyes locked on Morrigan's, blazing with reflected firelight. 'And on my very first outer realm mission, I'll abandon ship, set out on my own, and find my parents.'
(Silverborn: The Mystery of Morrigan Crow, Chapter Thirty-Five: Merriment, Mystery, and Mutually Assured Destruction)
This scene ties into what was said in the Q&A
Is there more of Jack in Silverborn? There is more of Jack in Silverborn. I will be honest to tell you, there's not like a mountain of page time for Jack, but the scenes that he is in are crucial, and they're really important for… I would say that there's a scene with Jack in this book that is probably the most important scene in the book in terms of what it sets up for future, for the rest of the series. (I've probably said too much, that's all I'm gonna say.)
And the final part of the Q&A I find relevant/interesting to this is this part:
Will we see more of the Free State as opposed to just Nevermoor? Not in this book. In future books? I think so.
Now, what am I getting at here? Why am I calling it Wintersea Basement Theory? Um so the name is sort of a joke, like a very hyperbole thing of Rosie and Arj have been in Wintersea's Basement the whole time. Do I think they literally are? No? Yes? No? Maybe? Yes? I functionally think that Jack is not going to find his parents when he inevitably goes AWOL, but Morrigan is either going to ask Squall to help her, and find something nasty about that, either Corvus or Ornella were involved at some level, directly causing Corvus to become chancellor through some shady dealings, or that Bertram did something, or tried to stop it and failed. A big reason I think Morrigan is going to find Rosie and Arj is simply because she is the main character. That is what she does. It's so big that if it happened off screen, I think it would be less satisfying. I could be wrong, Jessica Townsend is a very skilled writer, but if I were writing that, I would have Mog find them. Or find out what happened to them. Why does Wintersea have them? Dunno, maybe they were spying on her and got caught à la what nearly happened to Jupiter when he met Ornella:
"As part of my work with the League of Explorers, I am sometimes required to provide intelligence to the Free State Security department regarding conditions in the Wintersea Republic ... could have made one cry for help, and I'd have been arrested and likely never seen again."
(Silverborn: The Mystery of Morrigan Crow, Chapter Forty-Four: The Letters From Jupiter)
In Chapter Thirty-Five of Silverborn, Jack says that his mother worked for the League, while his father was an interrealm diplomat. Although Jack says his parents were on an outer realm mission, it's not impossible that they might have lied to him, since that's a lot less vague and scary than "we're going to spy on our enemy nation for a fortnight or so, cheerio", although Arj's occupation wouldn't make much sense here, unless he was doing spy work as well. It's possible too that their gate was interfered with. I think it's been suggested already that Rosie or Arj was a spy for the Wintersea Republic, and did something. Chickened out, or got caught, or were double agents for the Free State. But they're in the Wintersea Republic, and Squall knows where they are/what happened to them, and at least one of the Crows adult had a hand in what happened to them and it's related to how Corvus became Chancellor.
Nice theory!!!
Squall teaching Morrigan how to give orders to a monster and Morrigan using that lesson to give him orders... I fear this ate.
HOLY-!
THEORY RANT
OKAY I need to get this off my chest. I know I’m not special. People have probably already said this and some of this people have definitely already said BUT LET ME piece things together please. I’m excited
So going with the theory that some wundersmiths are held captive by wintersea to control/co-erce Squall hence the “shared enemy” and his love of Nevermoor etc etc. WHAT IF the reason we only know of Morrigan and Squall as current wundersmiths is for THAT reason - because no one’s reincarnated yet because the others are STILL ALIVE. Anddd THENNNNN WHAT IFFFF. If maud Lowry IS Mathilde Lachance WHAT IFFFFFFF the wundersmiths are being held captive in those GLOBES that keep people preserved as they are dying!!!!!!!!!!!!!! They might not be the exact same globes as that’s a bit obvious OR MAYBE IT ISNT who knows, but that same concept! Whoever of the wundersmiths that Morrigan and anyone else alive has reincarnated/descended from are obviously deceased based on that logic, but the rest could be held in the globes preserved since the massacre. THOUGHTS?!
This makes a lot of sense! Good job! :)
thinking about the scene in hollowpox where jupiter and morrigan eat together as they talk and jupiter chases a pea with his fork but struggles to pierce it. just like how he chases down the hollowpox but struggles to stop it or even find out what it truly is. and morrigan stabs a bit of roast chicken with her fork and doesn’t eat it. just like how theoretically she has the power to stop the hollowpox but is unable to follow through.
anyway have any of you guys noticed that jessica townsend is a really good writer
Great foreshadowing :)
"Why not let them see what you're capable of? Sometimes a healthy bit of fear is a good thing."
(Chapter Fifty - The Debut of Morrigan Darling, page 583)
THIS IS SOOOOOO COOOL
so was anyone going to tell me about this deleted scene from the first book or
NEW NEVERMOOR CONTENT!
