[thesunshinecourts]

five curiosities for the next book, after reading the sunshine court

a non-exhaustive list, but five things i'm curious to (hopefully) find out more about in TSC2, or that i have questions about still:

what happened at the trojans' fall banquet (presumably jeremy's first year)? it's a Scandal, and jeremy cannot stand to be around bryson, and annalise has never forgiven him for sticking with exy after that, despite having attended all his games in high school. given the allusions to his stepfather, and also his step-grandfather being a congressman, i can see how jeremy's sexuality might be relevant to the situation—especially if we read into lucas' stiff apology and shame at his implication about jeremy and jean as being born from more than just common decency, but rather knowledge of this being a previous sticking point in terms of jeremy's scandals—but i also keep thinking about what cat said. jeremy has—three. two brothers, one sister. the way she says it, how it sticks out to jean as an odd switch, and the fact that we've only met two siblings – it makes me wonder what happened to the third. or if that's even the right question to ask, regarding jeremy's siblings.

elodie. i'm curious if we learn anything about what happened—by and large, i kinda hope not, if only because then jean has to too, unless it turns out stuart is lying, but that's a very different kind of fallout. (i don't actively theorise he is—at some point, these kids will run out of tolerance for ghost stories coming back to life—but i think its possibility ought to be considered, at least). i think we'll get more flashes of her from jean's thoughts, though, and i anticipate lots of heartbreak lmao

lucas. assuming stuart's contact comes through, and neil's hit goes ahead, we've got lucas in the aftermath of finding out his brother is a monster, and jean saying not to call the police, and then possibly his brother being dead. if it happens any other day—if it happens in west virginia, especially—i suspect lucas might be able to look at it like another domino in the ravens machine falling down, or even that something horrible happened to him when he returned home, but if it's still in LA, after what he did to jean, after jean said no cops-------i can see how that might twist into something more suspicious. who knows! i'm curious to see what happens there. grayson is a monster, but he is still lucas' brother. aaron and kevin still have complicated grief about tilda and riko, and they were their direct, constant abusers; cass never learned until after the fact, and lucas is in a complex space between the two parts of that spectrum. if grayson dies, i think the fallout will be unavoidable for exploration

this is a small one but man, i just want to keep seeing jean's list grow. it tears something out of me every time, and stitches me back together, and i want to go through that over and over, because i want to see a jean who not only hears that his life is his and worth living, but a jean who learns to believe it too

i'm just kinda assuming we see the foxes again, because i remember nora's character list having new details about characters who didn't show up in this one, but i'm also quietly hoping for more thea. their scene made me ache, and he'd never had good defenses against thea, and kevin knew that. jean would kill him for bringing her here made my heart do the !! double-tap. i'm extremely invested in jean, thea and kevin as a unit, and it would be so incredibly wonderful to see more

Something that TSC2 will probably explain: Jean keeps mentioning that something happened in January after Neil left - specifically something about how Riko did something to Zane and Grayson (presumably after they hurt Jean). Jean also mentioned a contest that Zane won (probably part of whatever sadistic punishment Riko dreamt up)

Suspicious gaps in the timeline at the nest - things that Jean wont even think about

🕯️ praying circle for us to have a foxes & trojans reunion to celebrate the final match of the season in tsc2 🕯️

#i mean we will see how the fall banquet goes 🤐 #but like to have fun #the sunshine court #tsc #tsc2 #aftg #all for the game

TSC 2 possibility???

What if Jean and Jeremy have a breakthrough in their relationship because of their sibling(s)…

I’m just thinking about how Jean believes Jeremy is incapable of understanding him/what he’s been through & Jeremy’s (currently unclear) family drama that he avoids even in his own head, let alone sharing anything about it with others. Like we’re all guessing at what went down between Jeremy and his family, but I think if he feels guilty/responsible for whatever it was and especially if it happened with the mystery sibling he possibly cared a lot about…I’m just thinking it could be the thing to connect Jean and Jeremy on a deeper level—the love and pain and guilt they both experienced because of their family.

Prediction for tsc2:

They play against the Ravens, who insult Jean all the time. The team, fully aware of what they did to Jean, are max™ pissed.

Jean can't throw punches because of his contract, and just tries to overplay it. The team, however, cannot deal with it.

For the first time in the Trojan track record, they start a fight, and get red carded. For Jean. And Jeremy doesn't regret it one bit.

[tavern-scene]

hello everyone and welcome to the second campaign of tavern scene aka TSC2

thank you all for participating

we will be playing DND 5e your character is Dave a first-level druid Dragonborn who is being hunted by a mysterious group... you have very little knowledge of why but you get the sense that it has to do with something that you are not something you've done.

you are in the town of Windrise where every good dnd adventure starts in a dark corner of a musty candle-lit tavern

"Alright," a gruff northern-sounding dwarf says as he comes up to the table "Time to pay your tab dragon"

Here is daves character sheet

AND DONT FORGET TO INVITE YOUR FRIENDS AND REBLOG THE FUN

Do we agree

[herbalsingularitea]

Bernard and Scott hug when Scott turns back into Santa request? I read somewhere that Bernard is a touchy/feelings guy with people he's close to, maybe an over due hug when Scott returns to rescue the elves?

Bonus:

Scott likes to remind him how short he is by picking him up all the time

🆕Crystal Springs Chapter 24: Blizzards NOW UP

and YES, you read the emoji right! It's NEW CONTENT!

Chapter 24: Blizzards

Snow immediately hits the fan once the Cold Front gets back to the Pole.

(HERE) on ao3 and (HERE) on fanfiction dot net!

I am so HAPPY to FINALLY post NEW content for CS, like, PROPER NEW. These chapters coming up have not seen the light of day since 2017, and weren't even TOUCHED for the rewrite(s) until 2023. Here's a little snippet of what snow hits the fan upon Jack and Jacqueline's return to the Pole from Frost Manor...

“Run,” she said, darkly. The briefest of beats passed by, Jack frozen in place as he assessed the scene. Incoming avalanche. The Workshop and town nearby. Jacqueline stiff in front of him, the ground cracking around her. The far-off rumble, fast approaching. He took a step forward. “RUN!” she repeated, with a bit more urgency and a softer current. Decision made, Jack whipped a finger up in the air. “Fabulous idea, Jacqueline.” Turning sharply on his heel, Jack shot forward, feeling out the snow beneath him. The speed, the sturdiness, the density; hands glowing, the snow below him rumbled, propping him up. With a grin, he sliced his hands through the air behind him, using the speed and momentum of the avalanche to bring up his own slab of snow, racing down the hills. Snow shot up behind him, ice pellets spraying as he zig zagged down towards the town, casting his eyes back every so often. It had been a long time since he surfed an avalanche, but if he had timed everything right (and he knew he had, he was Jack frostbitten Frost for a reason, after all), he’d have just enough time to clear the square and divert the snow. Assuming the Dome would let him, he thought with a frown, quickly glancing up. Unsure if the cracking was from the avalanche or the Dome, Jack landed in the square, a sharp turn stopping his snowy descent. The snow spiralled out behind him, powder flying as he anchored himself to the ground, staring down the fast-approaching cloud of white with a quiet, focused, determination. “Hey Jack!” said a familiar voice behind him, footsteps fast approaching. “Everything oka—AYE! Is that what I think it is?!” “Yes,” Jack said, quietly. “It’d be in your best interest to get everyone inside as quickly and quietly as possible, Curtis, if you wouldn’t mind—" “AVALANCHE!” The elf yelled, pointing up at the cloud of snow heading down towards them. “NOT screaming,” Jack snapped. “How ELSE do you expect everyone to get to safety in time?!” Curtis asked, as elves began to take notice and run into the nearest buildings. Thankfully, the square was fairly flat. The angles just weren’t conducive to an avalanche, nor was the amount of snow in the square. It was unlikely that Curtis’s cry had made things worse, Jack realized, relieved. “Come on, everyone in! Please refrain from panicking until you are safely indoors, and keep the doors clear to make sure everyone gets in safely and has their turn to panic!” Curtis shouted, waving everyone in. Shopkeepers and city workers threw open their doors, elves rushing into whatever building was closest as powdered snow began to drift into the square. “That’s everyone?!” “Yeah, just about! What the heck is going on?” “Ah—” “Silver bells! Is that Jacqueline?!” Up in the hills, the slab of snow that held Jacqueline came to a stop. Her arms were bent at the elbow, palms pulled towards her, a look of intense concentration on her face. The avalanche was, oddly enough, slowing down. The cracks reduced, though the ground was still rumbling. She’s still fighting, Jack realized.

Will Jacqueline succeed in fighting it off? Or is she about to ruin everyone's day? Is Jack gonna be able to circumvent an ENTIRE AVALANCHE? (Duh, he's Jack Fucking Frost!)

Read on to find OUT (a03 link here) (fanfic link here)

Want to start from the top? You can read the Prologue: An Encounter HERE on ao3 and HERE on ff.net!

Summary and some author's notes under the cut! :)

It's been almost a year since Jack Frost thawed and things are looking...well, not so great. Jack's powers are seemingly gone. Without them, the Dome that keeps the North Pole safe from the cold and its magic controlled is melting, putting everything and everyone magical at risk. Unable to hide his power shortage any longer, Jack is forced to admit the truth. Thankfully, there is a solution: enacting the Legate Law, bringing Jack and the sister that he hurt so many centuries ago back together again. But when Jacqueline starts experiencing destructive blackouts, the pair are forced to head back home to Crystal Springs, bringing Jack face to face with the rest of the family. Needless to say, between getting his powers back, helping his sister figure out what in the FROST those blackouts even were, reconciling with his parents, meeting the two even younger siblings he didn't even KNOW he had, NOT TO MENTION the ancient threat that's had it out for the ENTIRE Frost family finally making a move? Saving Christmas (regrettably) is looking to be a little bit...complicated.

So...what's new with this chapter? (a la the lil' what's new updates I had when I was posting up to Chp 23 to ff.net!)

I took the bones of the original and added muscles AND meat AND skin AND EVEN CLOTHES.

word count check: ->CS 2014 (the OG): 5,010k ->CS 202X: 15,200k (ish)

(insert perturbed monkey puppet looking left and right reaction image here)

🆕 A bit of insight has been added via MINDSCAPES! So we get a VIBE of what exactly is going on with Jacqueline 🤔

🆕 Lore drop! A bit of a look into how paternal mental connections work with magibean parents!

🆕 The OFFICIAL Mario Party Team Name for Jack and Jacqueline has FINALLY officially dropped: Cold Front! Now I can refer to them as such without perplexing people!! :D

RIGHTO. TIME TO UNLEASH THIS! I HOPE YOU ALL ENJOY! And for those of us who have seen today's episode and are experiencing a bit of psychic damage (I've only seen reports of what happens and am going in armoured, oh baby), I cast CURE WOUNDS (Crystal Springs Update) AND HOPE IT GIVES YOU BACK SOME HP! 💙💜
