Feywild Recap 7/7/18
Want to know what you missed this week on the dash while you slept, ate, worked, or had a life? Here’s the gist.
Knox and Adare are still working on a solution to the fey-fertility crisis, but Adare seems skeptical about the hungry grass being part of the solution. Can’t say that I blame him? But scientific breakthroughs have come from stranger places. Actually, that’s probably not true.
Turns out Rowan can’t undo Tiger’s memory wipe (sorry Yvette) but she might be able to do something. For the right price. Which is vague and ominous and probably a terrible decision so I really hope Oleander goes for it.
Nadia survived an encounter with Rowan (who planted the idea in her mind that if she’s willing to go on a quest of Tolkien proportions, the cure for her scars might just be attainable--she’s still looking into that and considering) and, according to Frost, that’s worth celebrating. So they are. With shots. Before Fidchell because RP timelines are weird, friends.
Also before Fidchell, Camellia and Jasper are having a besties slumber party and discussing their thoughts on the games, potential outcomes and their fears/concerns. Guess what kids, it doesn’t end well for your court. Camellia, not sure whether your should blame Jasper for making it worse or thank him for the distraction. Last time I said I shipped something, one of the halves of the ship left the next day, so I’m keeping my mouth shut this time. But I ship it.
She wouldn’t admit it, but Lacha was momentarily relieved about the distraction after Fidchell since it gave her a bit more time to hold on to her secrets. Upon further consideration, she realized just how serious the situation could have been. The fire strikes her as a very Unseelie thing and the fact that she could have been on the board rather than Adare is not lost on her. (Off with their heads!) Despite what the rebellious among her court think, Lacha does not believe Camellia is ready to be queen so now she has to make a decision about what to do. Instead of fighting fire with fire (pun intended) she decides to go the diplomatic (re boring) route. In essence, her speech can be summarized as: You bitches want to play games, let’s fucking play. (a far longer and more eloquent version of Lacha’s speech is here. I highly recommend everyone take a few minutes and read it)
After saving Freesia and the all important banner (fight me, Royan), Ember is back in the action being ironic and saving the former firefighter from the fire that knocked him on his ass.
Willow and Adare are having one of those chats by the bar that leave you wondering whether or not they’re in a fight -- polite on the surface but fraught with tension. Employees of Oakenfold should feel safe, though, because Willow is updating the fire evacuation plan. Good choice, Will.
Aster is being rebellious and breaking rules for Larkspur, but who can blame him when she’s so damn happy about it? Poor lad is going to have to change his address to permanently living in denial, though, if he thinks she actually likes him for him and not his elixirs. Don’t worry too much, though, he’s also buying drinks for Yvette and Tiger. Nothing like keeping your options open.
Adare just wants to be romantic and doesn’t understand why no one will let him. (Spoiler alert, it’s because he’s kind of the worst at it)
Raven would like to remind everyone that he is not soft, he is not a mother hen, despite the fact that he checked in with both Camellia and Rowan after Fidchell to make sure they were okay. It’s just his job, so shut up.
Not to be outdone, Peridot also met with the Princess, but her version is sketchier considering her part in the rebellion and the fact that she’s totally putting on a false front to earn/keep Cam’s trust. It’s ok... the ends justify the means, right?
Willow is doing their own checking in, stopping by to recruit an eager Onyx and check on Hazel. And maybe recruit her too, depending on how things go.
Nadia is far less subtle, texting Forest that she knows about the fey and hoping that he’ll either confirm or deny. Except that’s really not his style so instead she got a read receipt. Rude. Not one to be ignored, she showed up at his apartment and demanded entry, only to be cowed when she discovered he was injured. Not just injured, burned. Fucking karma being a bitch again. Nadia put aside her annoyance and curiosity for a moment and is patching him up.
Frost and Camellia are spending the 4th splashing around like they’re in an episode of H2O: Just Add Water. (please understand that reference)
