"Maybe You Could Learn To Forgive.."

Lara Hacker on Instagram

Expanding on this because I have had Thoughts.

In his letter telling them to watch Torbek, Mr. Witch (or maybe Light, I don't remember) tells the Krew that Frost is fine, but will only stay fine if they watch Torbek. What if they called his bluff? What if Kremy thought he wouldn't possibly actually do something to Frost and the others agreed, and Gideon is all about freedom and Gricko, I think, out of all of them cares the most about Torbek, so they give Torbek the choice to go and explain the situation to him, probably at Gricko's insistence, just like he insists on it in Twig's Inn in the canon storyline. He decides to stay because Torbek wants to help Frost out.

So then they go back to Mr. Witch and Mr. Light and refuse to turn Torbek over, probably planning to threaten Mr. Witch and Mr. Light into giving Frost back, only they refuse to return him because they need someone to send to the Feywild and Frost was their backup all along because they saw how powerful he was in the Big Top Extravaganza and figure he could survive the torture. They do like him better than Torbek, who's been a pain in their asses for a weeks, but he did bring the happiness of the carnival down and bring up some painful memories for Mr. Light.

So Mr. Light has Burly or someone shackle Frost up (possibly with some kind of power suppressing shackles, similar to how the Krew had to distract Torbek for an hour so they could find strong enough shackles) and bring him to the mirror to Prismeer, where either one of the hag's minions or someone working for the doctor come and pick him up, and Burly uses the poem to open it, and the Krew sneaks after him and hear the password, so the Krew goes through the mirror. But because of the passing of time being all wonky, all signs of Frost are already gone.

All the regular stuff happens, but with Torbek instead of Frost. The Krew is at the Inn at the End of the Road trying to get some rest and find Frosty when they see a familiar figure out the window with a horrible magenta glow to his eyes they of course immediately recognize him, and let him in, only to realize that he's now a horrific mutated version of himself.

And then they have to fight Frosty, and I do think they would be a lot more hesitant to hurt Frost than Torbek. Gricko might just outright refuse to hurt Frosty, but Frost would still go after him and horribly injure him. And once Frost is no longer under the influence of the Witchlight he would feel horrible and try to separate himself from the others to protect them and probably refuse to see gricko because he hurt him (Grimmorning angst, romantic or no) and Kremy would feel bad because it was his idea to csl Mr. Witch and Mr. Light's bluff and look how that turned out, but of course my emotionally repressed lizard man wouldn't do anything about it. aakdmskkfjakfjfj I want this au so bad.

Spoilers for Once Upon a Witchlight Episode 8 and onward

Currently imagining an AU where instead of having them trade Torbek to get Frost back, Mr. Witch just sends Frost into the feywild to get experimented on. Frost becoming the one possessed by The Other. Frost, who so greatly values his mind and his control of it losing control. The other's reaction to learning Frost is GONE. The Krew going into the feywild to save their friend instead of Zabilna. The Krew having to fight Frosty because he lost control. Frost's guilt after attacking his family. Oh my god

I finally watched all 56 episodes of OUAWL (thank god) and I was wondering if you had any fic’s you would recommend? I know withdrawal will be hitting me soon and I want to have some back up stuff just in case!

Sure! Lemme look through my ao3 history lol (it's MOSTLY gonna be coalecroux ngl)

(EXPLICIT) Okay firstly, HAVE to reccomend I Like It When You Lie and its WIP sequel, What Lies Between Us by @sweet-reaper

They're 109k and (currently) 135k respectively, and they're GORGEOUS! The plot is enticing and feels like a proper extension of OUAW itself, and my art made it into the first one!! Great great reads

(TEEN) THE CLASS ACTION DIVORCE OF GIDEON COAL. IS SO FUCKING FUNNY. theres a bit of drama and it feels sorta fast sometimes, but its unironically so entertaining I can't reccomend it enough. I'm glad someone else noticed when Gideon offhandedly mentioned how many marriages he's had before the carnival hfjskfs

(EXPLICIT) What Happened on Grizzlepaw Mountain by @copperboltsblog is really good! It was pretty refreshing to see coalecroux get together pre-canon for once

(GENERAL) Frost, the caretaker is cute! A nice little story about Frost worrying over Gricko and Hootsie

(GENERAL) Catch You When You Fall is another good one, just a bunch of cute snippets between Frost and Hootsie

(EXPLICIT) OBVIOUSLY have to mention Just a Little Bit Mine by @ledetlore, I love their interpretation of Kremy's mom sooo much! The sequel fic Hitching Buckles & Hitching Breaths also looks great but I haven't started it yet...

(NO RATING, MATURE) And then an honorable mention for not a lot, just forever and Weaving Wildfire, by ledetlore and sweet-reaper respectively, which were both gifted to me based on my fankid Lillian and my Gideon braid headcanon <33

(coughs. there's also my own fic, Taking Notes(teen), but i remain humble)

Reblog if you're asexual and tired

happy wednesday to all my fellow aroace folks

Genuinely in tears at Torbek's poetry writing (ep8 of ouaw), i wanna give him a hug so bad 😭😭 little (massive) guy has so many issues 😭😭

If you think about it, their names are Michael, Richard, Nicole and Andrew, and I think Mace is short for Mason? I guess Derek is just Derek. Wild to think about though

I had a terrifying thought what if Mikey and Rich's real names are actually Michael and Richard??

Wouldn't that be fucked up or what?

Guess who

I had a dream that Derek Hudson won RuPauls Drag Race. He looked freaking fabulous.

I've learned many things from watching Legends of Avantris. How to play D&D, the importance of friendship and what makes good story telling. But the most important thing I've learned is that the #1 cause of death over 40 is accidents.
