i’m obsessed with calloway and whiteman’s dynamic in the show. the sensible cop and the hothead
also when they came out of calloway’s office, whiteman’s hair is impeccable. i like to imagine calloway just standing there, rolling his eyes, while whiteman takes his sweet time fixing his hair

Midnight Talks
---takes place directly after episode 80---
Fearne waits untill everybody is asleep before finding Nana Morri to help her ease her mind with a midnight talk.
-------
“Nana Morri can I talk to you about something… both of you if you don't mind”
Fearne walked up to the entrance of the fate stitcher her bedroom. Like she has done so a million times before when she was a little kid that had a nightmare.
The rest of the Bells Hells and Allura were vast asleep after a day filled with team building and transformation. And even though Fearne was exhausted as well, her mind kept stirring around with the newly awoken flame inside of her.
“You can always come to me my dear, are you having trouble sleeping? Want me to scare away some bad dreams?”
Fearne jumped next to Nana on the bed, hoofs twidling over the edge of the large nest like structure.
“It’s not bad dreams this time nana, it feels all way to real for that. I’m just not really sure how to put it into words”
The Morrigan looked at eachother with both faces looking with worry in their eyes.
“Take your time darling, you went through something big today. Something not everyone would have been able to do. It will take some time to get used to this new power”
“I’m afraid we are running out of time” Fearnes voice suddenly sounded scared, for the first time in a long while. Oh Nana Morri hated it when she sounded like that.
“I just don't want to get swept away by all of this. What if I lose myself because I get lost in all my emotions.. I…” she suddenly became quiet for a moment before whispering under her breath
“I’m afraid to lose them Nana, all of them”
The Morrigan lifted a hand below Fearnes chin to lift it up gently to meet her soft gaze. “Having something to fight for is a wonderful thing my dear, and with you, that can never be a bad thing”
Fearne thinks about this for a while, with a soft humming in the background as belly Nana fell asleep.
Fearne breaks the silence
“It felt really weird when… when our hands touched”
“I can't begin to imagine”
“It was exciting, but not just because it felt powerful. I mean oh boy it felt powerful. But also just because it was them? I got to see this person destroy themselves in front of me and now I helped them piece themselves together again, and I don't know how to feel about that.”
The Morrigan tilts her head “do you need to know now? It's okay to wander around in the dark sometimes you know, you don't always need to know the answer”
“I mean I am definitely still angry at them, but yea I guess… the rest can wait.”
Another silence follows where Nana Morri almost falls asleep again before Fearne speaks up once more and blurts out.
“You know it's just so weird that I get all flustered about it because I have done far worse but it feels different because with Chetney it feels safe like a forest but with Ashton…. I just never know what they are thinking. Maybe I just mist the crown keepers and Dorian and Orym together by my side but still…”
Nana Morri leaves out a big sigh before lifting up her head once more.
“Fearne, my wonderful dear Fearne, you of all people must know that love comes in all forms yes?”
She is looking at Fearne expectedly, who blinks a few times before nodding.
“Well your traveling group is an odd bunch, one as expected you would gather around you. And with different kinds of people come different kind of love and affection. How you show it to them is up to you”
“I mean yeah that just seems like the right thing to do?”
“Exactly, you were never one to really follow the rules set upon you, you always made your own plan. So why should this be any different?”
“So you mean I should talk to them?”
“All in good time, I think you have all done enough talking for today. Only so much a person can accomplish before they need to rest. But once you are ready, yes talk to them”
Fearne jumps up to the nest and gives a kiss on the foreheads of Nana Morri.
“Goodnight Nanas”
“Goodnight Fearne, and sweet dreams”

I’ve been thinking. What if the children’s stories of “hey don’t go out in the woods, go clean your room, don’t go too far from me, or else the Nightmare King is going to get you” aren’t widespread around the Feywild? What if that’s just what Mori told Fearne because of her parents’ situation?
Ira doesn’t seem to have a particular reason to go around kidnapping random children, BUT he certainly has a reason to steal Fearne. It seems from Oli’s memories that they tried to go back for her multiple times but were coerced by Ira into staying. If he could just snag Fearne while she was away from Mori then he can keep his “assistants” with no struggle.
Fearne mentioning that the Nightmare King was the boogeyman in her childhood stories is a pretty big coincidence considering that he was holding her parents hostage.
