is Bee a little spoon? Feel like they would want to hug onto the MC and mayhaps hold onto MC forever.
Hi Returning Visitors,
I hope you're having a great start to April! 💐 While I do have a few funny questions about the TFS characters, I was in the mood for something softer today. This is also a public post on TFS Patreon. 🌲
As for cuddling, it might depend on your Returning Visitor's preferences, but in general:
Either works for B! They want you to express your preference first to ensure your comfort level since this is new. They're just happy to be cuddling you. 😌 B would have a very soft look on their face and will pull you near or tuck closer after the two of you settle down.
_ _ _
Hmm, S would probably be okay with either so long as they also get to hold your hand while you're cuddling together. I could see a slight preference for big spoon with them. They enjoy wrapping the MC up in their arms or pulling them back against their chest to rest/unwind.
_ _ _
The Verner heir is a butter knife or a grapefruit spoon... >.> R can sometimes bea little spoon, not that they would ever call it that, and they would shuffle around for a while before settling next to you to be held, silently daring you to say something about it. R likes (craves) the contact! They seek out the reassurance of touch, so being held or holding the MC satisfies what has been missing and overlooked in the recent past. (Ms. Verner hasn't hugged her child in years, and R isn't used to the softer, gentler side of physical intimacy.) It's more likely to happen—to be expressed—deeper in romance when their guard lowers some. 🖤👀
In general, they just prefer you both to be wrapped up in each other, molten spoons!
_ _ _
J tends to be the big spoon. They like to hold you very close and have you near. On occasion, our Detective would actually really love to be the little spoon after long days at work or if they just need to be held, preferably tucked away in your arms and knowing you won't let go. It's a rarity, but when it happens, you'll know how much J missed you. (Bonus points if you play with their hair, which can help them relax, if not melt, even further into your hold.)
_ _ _
JR's cuddling somewhat depends on the MC's preference, but R likes to be in the middle or have you in the middle, while J tends to be on one of the sides. R is determined to have contact with both of you! 😏 J is more lowkey about this, draping an arm over the two of you or occasionally resting a gentle hand so they know you're there. Deeper in romance, R will be able to pick up, if not sense, when J needs to be in the center. They'll ensure that J gets that time and affection.
_ _ _
Mal is already known for having an encompassing presence that ensnares the MC. This is only reinforced by their scenes in Book Two that can significantly deepen the romance route. Our beloved red flag might turn into a blanket for those who treat them right. 💞 They'll want the MC firmly entrenched within their space by either holding them to their chest or allowing themself to be held. Regardless, Mal returns any attention tenfold. Big spoon, little spoon, switchblade, etc. As long as they're with you, Mal doesn't really care about the positions.
_ _ _
I hope you enjoyed these moments with the TFS characters! 🌲💚 Thank you for your support, patience, and encouragement.

I see that J. Corvin is very much a sufferer of the freudian slip. 🥰
They've already done it again in book two as well (but I can’t post a clip of that one).
ophelia and ruby constantly steal jane's clothes, they're just so comfy and they do miss her a lot when she's at work for long hours.
yes this is yet another fanart for my OT3, this time i'm on domestic JR poly brainrot so.... here we are. it's sketches cause i got too lazy and tired to do anything else to do it so... sorry? ANYWAYS LOOK AT THEM!!!!!
jane and ruby both belong to the wonderful @lacunafiction
Bonus under the cut:
Jane got home late and fell asleep next to them (not the most comfortable though miss-back-pains 🙄)
One thing that surprised Alex when they came back to Fernweh was how comforting Reese was in a way.
With Jane, there was a certain awkwardness in their relationship due to uncertainty. Like how do you interact with someone who is so, SO familiar and knew you better than anyone else but now is also completely different because you two were apart for almost a decade?
And Silas for all his politeness and kindness CAN be hard to read if you don't know where to look, especially since they weren't super close as children anyways.
But Reese? God it was so easy to fall back into their old dynamic. The banter, the competitiveness, Alex never thought it would be VERNER of all people that would make this trip back home less awful
Just finished my third playthrough of Fernweh Saga Book 1 - now I’m crying over James’ route while listening to Carnival of Rust on repeat. That last verse specifically just...😭😭 (that letter scene where James remembers biking over to the cabin filled with excitement to send his letters to you, only to never receive a reply back??? Heartbreaking. Damn you grandpa, I love you, but you broke J’s heart and for what??? If it was the town post’s fault, then screw them too. 😭)
Anyways, can you tell that I’m starved for more Fernweh content?? The slow burn thriller and romance is such an immaculate combo. 🔥🔥
“Hey” Corvin rapped two knuckles against the door frame to the bedroom in order to get Jane's attention. “You have any clothes that need to go into the wash?” he asked, lifting the the laundry basket under his arm up some, “I'm doing a round of loads.”
I needed to draw young Joshua Wei & Jane Corvin (absolute need). I think from the time they were elementary school kids to age 15, they just constantly nerded out at each other.
They are assigning pokemon teams to the justice league! 😭😭😭

hi! i'm buffy, a brand new indie roleplayer that focuses on writing as canon characters from my favourite fandoms! while my blog is no where near finished yet, i thought i would make a starter/plot call for when i'm ready! while i only write as canon characters, i will happily write against ocs and i'm crossover friendly (within reason). i've never done indie before and so please bare with me as i get to grips with it and learn the ropes.
i'm still setting up my muse directory, but i thought i would compile a list of the muses i write as under the read more.
if you're interested, please like this post and i'll come say hi in your dms!
How would the ROs react to someone asking for their number when they are dating the MC?
Hi Anon,
I hope you’re doing well.
For this ask, we are going to pretend cellphones are common in Fernweh despite the lacking signal. :D
B: I feel like B might actually almost give it before realizing this was meant in a romantic way. Let the backpedaling begin! “Oh yeah, I'll add you too. My partner has all the heart emojis though. They are also, like, my emergency contact, so... What's your name again??” Hopefully, their sheepish flush isn't misinterpreted as a blush. It was an accident! They are going to tell you once you come back and/or rescue them.
S: “I’ll pass, but thanks.” Polite, nonchalance helps to soften S's rejection, although any persistence/insistence from their admirer will cause S's sharp wit to leave a mark. They will likely try to create some distance after that answer, walking away or going back to reading, etc.
R: “483-003-21—My partner will kill you." 🥴 No hesitation with shutting the person down with a slightly playful edge to it. Yes, they would say this even about the sweetest and shyest MC just to make it clear that they aren't available or interested. R doesn't understand how the person missed the hint from earlier, but they are willing to remind them.
J: “...I don't have a phone.” 😐 Very calm, possibly too calm, and neutral. Before the person could even ask for their number, J was starting to look for you since they lost interest while still not yet cluing into their admirer's infatuation with them. If the person insists, J leaves. They don't have time for this and would much prefer finding you again. (Also, yeah, J has a phone, only very few people know their number.)
Mal: “Now why would you want my number when your phone's broken?” The admirer might grow confused, lighting up the screen of their phone to prove a point, just in time to see Mal's polished smile turn sharper. They get the hint and back off, possibly backing away. Zero tolerance from Mal, especially since this person must have timed asking them this question given how busy our enigmatic server can be.
I hope you all have a lovely week ahead! 💚

So I found something interesting related to J & A's surname the other day while I was looking up Roman naming conventions so I thought I would share: (I double checked with Aelsa (@lacunafiction) to make sure it was ok to share this information I stumbled upon).
The surname Corvin seems to have had an interesting origin story. The name comes from Corvus (Raven) in Latin which would eventually evolve into Corvinus and from there I assume Corvin (just as Octavius can become Octavian). Corvus → Corvinus → Corvin.
So the name Corvus seems to have started out as a Roman cognomen, which is an extra name the (male) Romans commonly had that came after the family name, this was sometimes something like a nickname or to help narrow a particular branch of a large family or sometimes to note where the person came from (Germanicus etc). However there were also what was known as cognomen ex virtute which were “awarded” for bravery, winning battles, or in the case of Corvus, random acts of (a) god. Cognomens would sometimes eventually become family names, or the surname instead.
So the story is the name was awarded to Roman military commander Marcus Valerius, for a military campaign he participated in against the Gauls. Legend is a very large Gaul warrior challenged for anyone in the Roman army to fight him in single combat and Valerius got permission from his superiors to fight the Gaul. As the two men faced each other a raven flew down from the sky and landed on Valerius’ helmet and then proceeded to fly at the Gaulish man, distracting him and allowing Valerius to win the fight. The Roman army then also quickly won the following battle and Valerius was supposedly awarded various things among the cognomen Corvus for his bravery, now making his name Marcus Valerius Corvus. Some of his descendants eventually started using Corvinus as their surname to denote their branch of the family separately from the other branches of the Valerius family.
There is of course lots of speculation on if the story is actually true or not, but I thought it would be interesting to share the legend behind the name of our Darling Detective (and family). I found the story pretty cool after all.
The last day of the Faire, the sky was overcast, with rumbles of thunder in the far distance. As Mayor Nat stepped up to the podium set up in front of town hall, a small crowd gathered to hear the announcement. She proceeded to declare Pandora Flowers as the winner of the costume contest, and withdrew the sword to present to the winner of the tournament, Morgan Vovk.
Before she could, though, Quinn Buckley from the commune ran up on stage and grabbed the microphone from the podium.
“Listen! You have to listen. This, all of this, is because of a being far greater than us! It sent the creatures from the woods to test us! To separate the weak from the strong. It judges us because it wants us to be ready before it reveals itself. We have to listen! We have to—“
Sheriff Henry attempted to take the microphone from her, but she struggled against him, still shouting into the microphone.
“It’s real! I felt its presence! Those that listen will be saved!”
Thunder rumbled, closer than before, much closer. A loud crack of lightning illuminated the sky, blindingly bright. Beyond the clouds, briefly visible in that split second, loomed a shape, unrecognizable and massive, both bulbous and gangly. As quickly as it appeared it was gone, and what remained was the sizzling body of Tristan Wilde, struck by the lightning. The sky opened up, then, as thunder boomed directly above, and rain and hail pelted the town.
“It’s there! You all saw it! It’s real! We have to submit!” Quinn wailed, as Henry attempted to pull her off the stage. “I can prove it! I can walk amongst them untouched! I’ve been chosen! You can be chosen too!”
Her cries fell away in the deafening downpour, and those that had gathered scattered to find shelter in the nearest buildings. Whether or not they saw something or, if they did, if they believe what they saw, remains to be seen.
The storm raged on through the night, as the creatures wandered the streets unperturbed by the rain and hail. The lights of the town flickered and then, as lightning staggered across the sky, everything went dark.
(Those that ran to find shelter found themselves stuck for the night. Below you’ll find the (randomly selected) groups. You can choose for your characters to have seen the shape in the sky, to have not seen it, or to have seen it and not believe it.
Everyone can continue/finish their event threads, as all this took place on the final day of the Faire (the 29th). You may also time-jump threads, headcanon threads, or make new threads for the plot drop. The event officially ends on August 5th, at which time please do not make any more event starters, however you can continue all threads until completion.)

I think it's funny how my JR combination is Jane and Reese. It's the only combination where R is taller than J. And I didn't know that when I chose them.
It's like I keep spoiling Reese even unintentionally. He gets to feel tall (:
A little over 2 weeks left! Are you guys excited? I cannot wait to read the final product, everyone go give it a read if you haven’t or read it again if you have: @lacunafiction
