Thank you all so much for your sweet comments 🥹 I did also write a little Grace fic recently

Birchspeckle video might turn out to be my favorite of the series so far! So it turns out I was partly right? And now two cats are watching Wrentail fall to his death! My best guess is the other one is Birchspeckle, and that these are their present-day selves reliving the flashback (unfortunately for Mudpaw)- and a slight hint that Birch has known the whole time (was she actually there? in the shadows?).

But if you don't mind me asking- what was that fire scene? I love it, but is it an actual plot-relevant fire, or a symbolic one perhaps, like overcoming the barriers of forbidden romance to have this kit?

I'm so glad you liked it!! I was a little worried people wouldn't like it as much since it's so much less detailed than my other projects like The Garden, but it's been really nice to see people enjoying it anyway :)

The scene with Birchspeckle and Mudpaw standing together at the falls is supposed to represent birch sharing her knowledge of the situation with mudpaw, and you can interpret that as her actually using her powers to show him a vision or just her describing the situation to him and them both vividly visualizing it, whichever you prefer! I will say that she was not present for the event itself

The fire scene is very much a literal fire! It has pretty significant importance to the plot :)

“Will— will…you…stay?” ( from grasshopper to link <3 )

Meme Tag -- @balladetto

The frigid wind from the greater fields of the Hebra regions rolls over the cliffs and down into the Rito village. The two of them had just made it to the village when the storm finally arrived, gratefully taking shelter in Teba's home to ride out the storm. A part of Link knows that he might have tried his own luck in the weather if he were on his own, but he hasn't yet gotten enough cold weather supplies for Grasshopper, which means they need to take a break.

And as the blinds are carefully lowered in the Rito home, a hospitable gesture to the new guests, Link feels the air around them already begin to warm, or at least the sharp edge of the wind cutting away. Breathing a sigh of relief, he signs a careful 'Thank you' to Teba, letting his own pack settle on the ground to begin to dig for some food. It's the least he can do for asking to stay with them so suddenly, bringing two more mouths to feed into the cold.

Making a face, Link realizes he doesn't quite have enough of the food he wanted to make, as least needing more rice and vegetables for all the mouths. If he goes to the merchant now, he might be able to get the food they need, not to mention the warm things for Grasshopper. Sighing slightly, he readjusts his Snowquill jacket, preparing to head back out into the snow, when a small hand on his shoulder makes him stop, an even softer request putting a halt to his plans entirely.

He couldn't leave now, not with Grasshopper's pleading gaze pinned on him, not after making the request when he so rarely asked for anything himself.

Link's eyes tick back to his bag. Yes, he can make it work. And there's always tomorrow to get more warm weather things. Reaching out a hand, Link gives Grasshopper's forearm a small squeeze, a gentle nod, before he pulls off his jacket to offer to the other. He's going to be working by the fire after all.
