Fablehaven Fairy Theory

Fablehaven Fairy Theory

Hello! I was talking to someone the other day, and they mentioned that if fairies are always depicted as flying upright, and that just doesn’t work with the real world. So I thought of a theory about how it might!

First off, have you ever seen how a hummingbird flies? It goes around like a regular bird, horizontally, until it reaches a flower. There, it begins to hover, flying upright, and in all directions including backwards.

Maybe fairies fly the same way- horizontally until they reach their destination, and then they just... hover. But their wing-to-body ratio is designed so they they don’t have to flap as much. I feel like the fairies would be kinda out out if their wings were fluttering too much to be seen.

Anyways, this is just my opinion. Hope you liked it!

YES! I can totally see this happening, THIS IS AMAZING

Headcannon that when Bracken gets overwhelmed or anxious or just having a rough time, Kendra will let him draw on her arms to calm him down.

-Bracken loves nature and drawing leaves and fairy wings helps him calm down.

-Kendra bought a bunch of different colored pens just for him.

-The first time was an accident. 

-Bracken was really tired and fidgety, tapping his pen against his fingers.

-He was really good at acting like nothing was wrong, so no one noticed he was off.

-Until he drew on Kendra’s hand.

-Bracken wasn’t thinking when he drew a leaf on her and when he realized, he was super embarrassed.

-”I’m so sorry Kendra! I wasn’t thinking! I just– Let me get a paper towel! I’m so sorry!”

-Kendra just looked at it smiling and quietly asked if he could draw a flower too.

-Kendra loves it. Sometimes she’s self conscious about her various scars and how she can see her veins and how she’s not as muscular as Mara or Vanessa.

-Whenever she feels inadequate she can look at her hands and see faded pen with beautiful doodles curling around scars and making made up constellations out of her few freckles and she feels so much better.

-Bracken was super worried she’d be mad at first, so the next few times he would only do a little, but it really DID help. And then he noticed that Kendra wouldn’t wash it off right away. Maybe she really does like it?

-So its a bit of a habit.

-It’s not all the time, and it’s normally small. It’s hardly noticeable. 

-But it makes helps them both.

I just need more of my anxious adorable children.

Warren: I mean, small creatures are way more vicious. It’s because their anger has less space to be bottled up in.

Vanessa: Ridiculous. Give me one example of that.

Seth: Imps

Stan: Fire ants

Tanu: Leprechauns

Ruth: Drumants

Bracken: Kendra

Kendra: So you know, after dealing with dragons and such, I was a bit overwhelmed.

Kendra: And so I was just like “I know, I’ll call some of my friends!” I figured that talking to some humans that don’t know about magic would be a nice change of pace. Besides, it had been some time since I’d talked to them.

Kendra: …

Kendra: I sort of forgot that they still thought I was dead.

Kendra: …It was an interesting call.

Fablehaven Secret Santa

Hello! It is finally the 19th, so I can release my gift for @imasorenson! Hope you like it.

While the line would normally snake from the entrance all the way back to the end of the carefully placed markers and beyond, today there were only about twenty people in front of Kendra and Bracken, who were waiting to be admitted into the amusement park.

Kendra had insisted they they come, seeing as Bracken had never been to one, and the fact that Christmas was only a few days away was just an added bonus. Warren had pounced on the two of them earlier in the week, practically holding them at sword point after Kendra had mentioned they were planning to visit the park, telling the two that they should go while school was still in to avoid the madness. It had taken a day or two of planning, but they had finally arrived.

Warren had been right. Since there were so few people, it only took about ten minutes for the couple to be admitted.

“What do you want to do first, Bracken?” Kendra grinned at him, already bouncing up and down, even if she wasn’t on a sugar high. Yet.

“What is there?” Bracken asked.

“More like what isn’t there! We could go on a rollercoaster, or another ride, eat food, go to the arcade-style games, or one of the stalls like throwing darts.”

“What is a rollercoaster?” Bracken’s confusion was all it took. He eyed Kendra’s evil smile nervously, as she took his hand and practically dragged him to the ride. Once again, the few people around made for a short queue, and the safety bar was being lowered in no time.

“Oh, before I forget, when we go down, you need to scream.” Bracken looked at his girlfriend, horrified.

“Do you know what happened the last time I screamed!? Seth and I were in a tickle fight, and the fairies and Astrids thought I was in trouble! It took ages to turn Seth back into something vaguely recognizable, and that was only a tiny whinny! And don’t even get me started how they managed to fit inside the house, because I don’t know, there were that many of th-AAAAAAAAAAAAAA!!!”

The last part was because, while Bracken was rambling, the rollercoaster had made it up to the top of the ‘hill,’ and gone over. He had begun screaming in shock, while Kendra laughed so had she could barely breathe. As they began climbing the next ‘hill,’ Kendra leaned over and kissed Bracken.

“It’s a good thing I cleared it with your mother first, then.” Her giggles made a comeback when she saw Bracken’s shell-shocked face.

+++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++

The rest of the day was amazing. Bracken and Kendra went around to everything, and soon Bracken redeemed himself with a prefect aim, and a large fluffy Unicorn toy. (Insert Despicable Me ‘It’s so fluffy I’m going to die scene’ here, lol.)

Lunch was spent sitting down at a picnic table with a tub of hot chips, churros, and soft drinks, after which Kendra took Bracken to get his face painted as a rainbow.

By the time the two made it home, the sky was dark and the house’s lights were all on, waiting for them. Seth, Vanessa, Tanu, Grandma and Grandpa, Dale, and Warren were all sitting around the table, phones and cameras at the ready. After Kendra had told the Fairy Queen about the park the previous day, she’d told everyone else about it. In the end, Kendra had agreed to make sure Bracken got his face painted, and everyone else would be there to take pictures.

Bracken didn’t speak to anyone else for a week after he found out the photoshoot was planned, though he secretly kept a picture to remember the day by.

+++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++

And that’s the end! Hope you liked it, and Merry Christmas, @imasorenson and anyone else reading!
