I am getting hit with what appears to be dozens of spoofed 'Failed Payment' emails from Woo Commerce. So if you have tried to order a Full of Briars poster from my website in the last 24-48 hours please drop me an email so I can try to find out if these orders are legit and the shop is broken.

Chapters: 2/? Fandom: October Daye Series - Seanan McGuire Rating: Teen And Up Audiences Warnings: Creator Chose Not To Use Archive Warnings Relationships: October "Toby" Daye & Quentin Sollys, Minor or Background Relationship(s) Characters: Quentin Sollys, October "Toby" Daye, Chelsea Ames, Rayseline Torquill, Raj (October Daye) Additional Tags: Alternate Universe - Role Reversal, Murder Mystery Summary:

Sir Quentin Sollys lives his life as a knight errant in service to the Duchy of Shadowed Hills. He gets up every morning, drinks his coffee, and drives into work. He does his job, and if that involves more household-management than swinging his sword around or solving mysteries, that's fine.

And then Countess Evening Winterrose dies, and the only witness is the Duchy's new foster; a near-feral changeling child who demands to be a part of the investigation. With clues leading straight to the fae underworld, a complicated relationship to the local King of Cats to contend with, and a strange child to look after, Quentin has his work cut out for him.

now that i've remembered this blog exists, here is a short fic i just posted about kid-toby, and here is one i posted a few years back about early-middle series toby and quentin exploring the wonders of modern food and conveniences

i'm sorry, but in the light of the last few years (other people scraping ao3 to create private archives with pay-to-access, ai-training) those are both archive-locked, as will any other fics i manage to post for the foreseeable future

[ID: reply by @coredesignixandnekonee: Toby: I’m not ready for a new child, I can’t replace Gilly Quentin: hi Toby, already prepping the guest room for a permanent residence: go away kid, you’ll only get hurt if you stick around me Quentin, pulling his lunch out of the fridge: hey so can I rely on you for emotional support since I can’t see my parents until I’m thirty? Toby, feeding him cookies and hugging him and worrying over his well being: I guess but I’m not responsible for you Raj: ok auntie.]

toby is like bruce wayne in that she can’t stop adopting children, except she’s the coffee version of vodka aunt and they’re all nieces and nephews. homegirl isn’t gonna do parenthood again just yet but try stopping her from babysitting your kids on the weekend and occasionally teaching them valuable life skills like making coffee and checking the backseat of your car for stowaway assassins

What's your favourite fictional character (any or all media)?

God, I just don't know, because it changes as I grow and change.

Bigwig, Tailchaser, Molly Grue, Quentin Sollys, Mildmay Foxe, Antonio Banderas, Ezio, Tek (Birth of the Firebringer), Murderbot, Jack Wolcott, Lucian (Underworld), Aaravos, Boromir, there's so many. Endlessly. So many I'm not remembering. Our books and DVDs are packed up, I can't go looking. But they spring to mind. There isn't really anything that unites them. Just what I needed or wanted or found very dear at the time.

NOMINATIONS ARE OPEN!

Yes, it's that time of the year again!

Please go HERE to nominate!

Collection and rules are HERE.

To avoid wasting your nomination slots, note that we're using the same tagset from last year, so MANY relationships and characters are already in the tagset. You don't have to nominate those again, so only include those that you can't see there.

Nomination Formatting

All nominations should be nominated under the "October Daye Series - Seanan McGuire" fandom.

Nominations do not need to auto-complete to be accepted; if Ao3 does not complete your ideal nomination, just type it in manually.

For romantic/sexual relationships, please nominate the characters you wish to nominate with a "/" between each character. For familial, platonic, or otherwise non-sexual requests, please use a "&." e.g., "Connor O’Dell & Tybalt" would not have any sexual or romantic undertones. "Connor O’Dell/Tybalt" would be considered sexual and/or romantic, even if the fanwork itself didn't include any sexual acts.

Nominations should be spelled correctly.

Nominations should ideally be in alphabetical order, by last name. If a character does not have a last name, use the first name instead.

If a character has multiple names or aliases, go by their "main" name.

If you want to nominate a single character instead of a relationship, please use the relationship field and put your nominations as “Solo: Character Name”. e.g. Solo: October “Toby” Daye

Nominating Characters from Other Canons (i.e. Crossovers)

We allow crossovers from other series so long as they are interacting with at least one canonical character. However, when nominating a character from another specific series, please put the name of the fandom the character is from in parenthesis after the name, for example: "Quentin Sollys & Rose Marshall (Ghost Roads)"

Nominating Original Characters

Original Characters are also allowed to be nominated, provided they follow the following guidelines:

The OC is listed in such a way as to give someone freedom in how to write them.

OCs should be generalized or archetypal. e.g., "my OC June Daye" is too individualized and customized, but "Male Cait Sidhe” is eligible

If the gender of an OC is considered important to your request, please include it. If you are fine with any gender option, gender does not need to be added, and the creator of the work can choose their choice of gender options for the character. e.g., "Cait Sidhe" or "Female Cait Sidhe"

[ID: A series of text posts edited for the October Daye series, using covers from the series where available and fanart and fancasts where it is not.

The first shows titular character Toby Daye standing in front of a gate, looking towards the viewer with a text post reading “do you see this shit my liege” and wearing a grumpy expression.

The second shows the face and circuitry home of April the cyber-dryad, with a text post reading “*right clicks you and saves you in a folder called “friends :)” on my desktop*”.

The third shows Toby’s squire Quentin Sollys, standing in between a Summerlands castle on one side and modern San Francisco on the other, with a text post reading “Hamlet: I have of late - but wherefore I know not - lost all my chill.”

The fourth is fanart by @yinza showing Simon Torquill, later Lorden, on the left, and Toby, on the right, clasping hands and smiling in a red-tinted blood memory. The text post is focused more over Toby and says “I’ll forgive a mutual for almost anything. Murder isn’t even anywhere near close to the top of the list of things I can overlook. For instance some of you are swifties”.

The fifth is fanart by the same artist showing Toby and love interest Tybalt, embracing and kissing. The text post reads “the underappreciated boyish charm and emotional wisdom of the brown tabby”

The sixth is a fancast from the fandom wiki for major antagonist Eira Rosynhwyr, in an ice-blue environment holding a crown above her head with a stern expression, with a text post reading ““I could fix him” well I could watch him spiral into bloodlust and madness instead. It would be significantly more fun”

The seventh is fanart by the same artist as images four and fifth showing Dianda Lorden, on the left, and Simon, on the right, in ocean water beneath the moonlight with matched glowing blue flower crowns around their heads, both smiling brightly. The text post, centered towards Simon, reads “remember when forming polyamorous relationships you should take team comp into consideration, make sure you have at least one healer-”

The eighth image will be described below a cut to preserve the same spoiler. End ID]

[ID: The eighth image shows Titania, sitting in a swing onstage and smiling gleefully. The text post reads “37 years ago my parents came home and there was just a baby in the living room. Even weirder, there was a whole new room added onto the house as if it’d always been there and was filled with baby things. By the end of the day they were believing they’d just had a newborn. Suckers. Now I’m everyone’s problem.” End ID]

All the fanart here is by @yinza​

Bonus one that’s a spoiler for Be The Serpent but might just be my favorite:
