Maybe it's dumb but like- I love to think about the fact that Logan is Sparrow's son. That before he went mad, he was cherished, and his whole life he was someone's baby. It's so bittersweet

Reaver is immortal. Great. Now the problem is: what about his brain?? The human brain is not supposed to live that long. So we have two logical options:

-he gradually forgets everything he used to be

-his brain destroys itself because of the amount of informations it needs to store, which is translated by a downfall into madness (we see his behaviours have gotten more extreme in Fable 3 and he seems less and less human)

Following those theories I started writing a fanfiction long agooo and I lost it I think so I'll redo-one.

Rose said she wished to live in a castle.

She never did. Sparrow did.

Sparrow got rich, built a family. But was unhappy. In that very same castle Rose wanted to live in.

Logan was probably born outside of the castle. He was born a comoner. Then he was taken to the castle.

That very same castle Rose and child Sparrow thought would make them happy.

And Logan probably broke there. I don't think he liked that place at all. I don't think that he, a comoner born from a comoner born mother felt perfectly in his place among rich nobles who cared very little for the world around them. Yet he sort of became what he despised.

Rose II or "Rosie", Sparrow's daughter, was born in the castle. She lived an easy life, she was "free" yet trapped. She was free like her brother was in the countryside and like her mother was at the camp, trapped like her mother was when watched by Theresa, growing up, and like her brother was because of the sole title of "heir" then "king".

Then she became "heir" as well. Then "Queen" as well. Trapped like her brother and like her mother. Stuck in that goddamn castle.

Both tried to escape it and failed : Logan led expeditions, but he'd always have to come back. Then what happened in Aurora happened, and it only worsened. He couldn't leave anymore, and he was going insane.

Rosie tried to be a good queen and if you consider that the book edge of the world is canon, when she tried to leave for the second time (so after Ravenscar's keep), she was kidnapped and jailed before dying alone.

Sparrow probably tried to escape too, but never managed to. Instead, she died.

All of them probably died in the castle.

Sparrow's remains literally rest in the castle's catacombs. Many say they rest beside her husband's, but I think they rest beside her first child's or her sister's.

If you decide to kill Logan, he is shot and dies in the castle's frontyard. Alone. With only crows or ravens. Logan meaning "little black birds" hits much deeper when you notice them during that scene ; the only ones present when he dies are little black birds: himself. And they fly away when his heart stops beating.

If you don't kill him, again, in eotw, he lives with Rosie. Reaver takes over and my guess is that Logan eventually dies trying to counter him. Again, in the castle.

We have little to no information on the fate of Rosie. I guess that if eotw isn't canon, she carried on her mother's legacy and died of old age or of madness. While ruling. So again, in the castle.

In short, I do believe the theory that says that this castle is cursed. Lucien's family's history (I'm not only talking about his wife and daughter, but also about his parents and grandparents) and Lucien himself show that no matter who lives in there eventually goes mad. But I'd go further ; to me, if you step in the castle with a very precise intention, you're bound to a horrible death.

Rose stepped inside of the castle and died within the hour. A part of Sparrow died as well. Theresa states it: Sparrow never made her grief. Logan probably had to grieve his life before becoming royalty, and it only got worse as time passed. Rosie was born in that place, she was born between cursed walls. She was born inside of the curse itself.

She was born a hero.

I'd like us all to think about Sparrow for a minute. When she received the vision where Theresa told him one of her children would save Albion, she probably understood that both of them were doomed. In different ways, but both condemned. Just like she was.

She also tucked them to bed, cared for them, everything a loving mother does. She viewed them as her children because that's what they were, but the world viewed them differently. Crown Prince, heir, Princess, potential future heroes, saviours as well, etc etc. And above them, pain and suffering was hovering all along. Still, she took care of them.

It makes me think of Mary with her son (I'm not Christian by the way, so I just view the holy books as stories). People viewed him as their saviour and things like that, whereas she viewed him as her baby boy, but she knew what fate awaited him. It makes me think of many mothers in Hellenism as well, who lost their children to war, whom knew them to be doomed simply because of the bloodline they came from.

That trope is so bittersweet. I can't quite say if I love or hate it, so I just wanted to highlight it.

*side note: I headcanon that Sparrow was chosen to be queen when Logan was a toddler, or a young child. And both had lived peaceful years (in Oakvale) between the end of f2 and Sparrow's crowning. So it's even worse.

I found a 120 200 words fanfic I wrote in middle school. I am tempted to post it but it needs a serious rewrite and is unfinished 💀 It begins when Sparrow is still alive, and currently the last chapter takes place after Logan came back from Aurora.

Note that English is my second language but I was DEEPLY invested lol (and now I can see a few mistakes here and there which is kind of embarrassing)

[blossomingtree]

Imagine if the developers reveal that Reaver is indeed Logan or Hobw's biological father. I wonder what those who ship them will say lol

I'm French 🐓 and a Fable fan.

I have a theory.

We are the chickens.

"Why? " you'll ask. Well, ladies and gentlemen, here my arguments:

France and England have always had a love-hate relationship, as we say in History class "toujours les anglais 🙄 😣". Yet we love them.

This leads me to what Albion represents: Albion.

Literally, Albion is the nickname of England and Great-Britain.

England is represented and a lot of British humour is sprinkled here and there all throughout the games. The culture seems quite present too. Yet, we do not have an enemy that could symbolise the French.

Unless....

...WE ARE THE CHICKENS...

The rooster is literally our emblem when it comes to sport. Which led us to being mocked, which I can understand.

So to me, the chickens being constantly chased and kicked (yet never killed 🌚🌝), symbolizes France and G-B's History.

Whether you like that theory or not, I consider it canon.

Sincerely, a chicken.

Quick queer theory:

I think Logan doesn't believe in genders, or does on some extent, but differently.

Let me explain:

I saw someone say he probably didn't like all the formality of titles because he grew up in the countryside (or in the city) but was taught to be formal because he was the new heir.

Now think about that. Titles reflect a social construct, a social hierarchy. And I think Logan indeed fundamentally does not care (until he can weaponize it after Aurora) and really just sees it as a way to keep things in order when ruling (ex: army ranks). But with friends and family, he is just Logan. And I think he views genders a similar way: pointless. He is King, but if he was Queen he wouldn't care, for it is the same. He is he, but he could be she or they, he'd still be the same soul. Genders are just, like titles, another way to adress other people. Another way to rule over them and put them in boxes.

Now obviously despite being based off of a part of the irl British culture, Albion has its own culture. So they probably view genders and queerness differently, so I'm saying that from my pov, backstory and culture. So I think that while he does not care in Albion, he'd care in our Great Britain for example. So maybe he'd be nonbinary, genderfluid or on that same spectrum.
