"Rat-Catcher" open thread.

I have been asked to create an open thread for discussion of "Rat-Catcher." So here you go: here is an open thread.

THERE WILL BE SPOILERS.

Seriously. If anyone comments here at all, THERE WILL BE SPOILERS. So please don't read and then yell at me because you encountered spoilers. You were warned. (I will not reply to every comment; I call partial comment amnesty. But I may well join some of the discussion, or answer questions or whatnot.) I will be DELETING all comments containing spoilers which have been left on other posts. No one gets to spoil people here without a label.

You can also start a discussion at my website forums, with less need to be concerned that I will see everything you say! In case you wanted, you know, discussion free of authorial influence, since I always wind up getting involved in these things.

Have fun, and try not to bleed on the carpet.

Is it okay if there's a few tears on the carpet?

Tybalt's voicing is really lovely, and I loved seeing other Cait Sidhe. September was a fun nod to the future Torquils, though there's so much in the story in general I wanted to see more of. Also made me think, somehow, that she was connected with Toby - but perhaps fae just like naming children after months.

I thought the Shakespeare was really cleverly woven in, and Tybalt's name in particular really worked.

September is Simon and Sylvester's older sister, and January's mother.

I'm so glad you liked it.

Awesome! The Torquills seem to have a lot of children, for fae. Or am I getting the general fecundity of fae wrong?

Sylvester, Simon, and September's parents had a lot of children: three is a lot.

Yay for fae propegating the awesomeness of the race! Except for Simon. That dude is not so much with the awesome. But Sylvester is one of my favorites, and September seems like she has awesome of her own.
