Is Fae Motti close with any of the other skellies, or any humans turned Fae? If Dreams been more busy, who does she spend her time with? c:

Mazarine belongs to @valrayne-faeu

Faucet belongs to @nosebleed-inglishera

Lucas belongs to @thisblogtofur

Fae Motti belongs to me

Hi! I was looking through your tag for faeu. and I'm IN LOVE with this au! Especially swap sans. Im intrigued by the idea that he's conflicted by his deceptive nature as a fae. Would it be okay if I asked for more of his back story?

of course! there's no real backstory per say, but here's some more insight into him.

Blue holds honesty in high regard, even if he can't lie as a fae. However, he's also loyal to Dream. So while he will trick humans into staying in the fae realm, he doesn't revel in it like most other fae do. He'll befriend you genuinely, without using tricks and riddles to get things from you, and if you do accidentally offer something to him he won't hold you to it. As time goes on though, he will inevitably have to betray you to follow Dream's orders to make you stay. He'll feel absolutely terrible about it, but hey! At least he has eternity to make it up to you.

I found this interesting layout of 221B Baker Street by Russell Stutler which not only includes a bunch of neat easter eggs and references to previous stories:

But also attempts to reconcile with the peculiar descriptions found in The Mazarin Stone:

Here's a link to his website with way more in-depth explanations and his thought process on how he configured everything. It includes a better look at the small references, previous versions he's done, as well as a list of various lines describing 221B in case anyone else wants to take a crack at it.

“I've been at his very elbow all the morning. You've seen me as an old lady, Watson. I was never more convincing. He actually picked up my parasol for me once.”

Holmes casually dropping that he cross-dresses to spy on people, and has done this several times, absolute KING SHIT

The limited characters for polls meant I had to truncate these a little, but I love how none of them are remotely normal.

Oh snap, we're on VALL now. Fear me

Not having visited MAZA until the moment LFW got on the track, I am startled to find that Billy has either eternal youth or time-travelling powers across this twenty-four-year gap

Jules Mazarin, Richelieu’s successor. I don’t know if I can call him "oc", because he is a real person, but it was me who decided that as a dog he would be a cute little Shiba Inu!!🐶

This shot is beautiful. There are so many fantastic shots in this show.

6 novembre 1656 : mort de l’astronome, astrologue et mathématicien Jean-Baptiste Morin ➽ http://bit.ly/Jean-Baptiste-Morin Astrologue le plus réputé de France ayant côtoyé Richelieu et Mazarin, Jean-Baptiste Morin, qui soutenait farouchement l’immobilité de la Terre, fut également le plus malheureux des hommes, la dernière décennie de sa vie étant émaillée de polémiques déshonorantes, de trahisons et d’ambitions déçues

I'd let Fae Blue pretend to trick me if he asked. 😔

He appreciates the gesture, but the only way that he'd get out of his duty is if you decided to stay in the fae realm willingly. Pretend tricks unfortunately don't cut it.

The Count gave a gesture of resignation. “We give you best, Holmes. I believe you are the devil himself.” “Not far from him, at any rate,” Holmes answered with a polite smile.

He's so pleased to be called a devil

The Mazarin Stone

First published in 1921, this was an adaptation of a one-act play Doyle wrote called The Crown Diamond: An Evening with Sherlock Holmes that ran in London that same year and featured Sebastian Moran.

It is also written in the third person, rare for a Holmes story.

A gasogene was a two-globed late Victorian device for producing sparkling water or other such carbonated beverages; the liquid was placed in the bottom and a mixture of tartaric acid and bi-carbonate of soda at the top. You tipped it slightly to start the process going. They had a habit of exploding under pressure, so were in a wire or wicker mesh to stop glass flying around if they did.

Cardinal Mazarin (1602-1661) was Chief Minister to Louis XIII and XIV from 1642 until his death. Succeeding Cardinal Richelieu of The Three Musketeers fame, he proved a hugely effective diplomat, playing a key role in the Treaty of Westphalia of 1648, whose principles of national sovereignty remain key to modern international relations.

He acquired a massive art, literature and jewel collection as well, leaving eighteen diamonds called "the Mazarins" to Louis XIV on his death.

Air guns with a pellet discharge of under 12ft/lb are today legal to own in the UK without a licence - anything over that is legally a firearm and regulated as such i.e. licences are needed.

Algeria had been gradually conquered by France between 1830 and 1903, become an integral part of the country; something most colonies did not have happen to them. It also gained a very large number of European settlers.

"Train-de-luxe" referred to a train exclusively made up of CIWL carriages, all of which were pretty luxurious with the obvious exception of the dedicated luggage vans. The Orient Express was one such train for much of its history.

"It's a fair cop" is a British slang expression meaning "it was wrong and you caught me fairly".
