Re: Fill - When the Clouds Roll By (9/?)

Ha, thanks for your comment! I'm tearing my hair over some extremely dull translating/editing work, and they're a welcome distraction.

It means, I'm afraid, that Imbolc Night did not go quite well for Newt. Newt has a tendency to act rashly and explain himself later (cf. the movie), and bolt before he does so (ditto). Also, it's an epistolary fic, meaning I had to unglue him from Jacob's side and home at some point. But no worries. They'll get there.

We know little about the Pagan Imbolc rituals, but it seems that these did involve lighting fires and pouring milk on the ground as a symbol of fertility. (And I need to add a quick note to the AO3 chapter!) Cows in MACUSA = me being silly (and Percival being argumentative so he can curtail a very formal ceremony and go have fun for the first time in, what, forty years? Yes, he and Queenie are bonding at lightspeed. I like to imagine their little smiles while reading each other's notes.)

Probably posting part 10 next Sunday, as work is slowing me a bit down, but answer if and when you can. No worries. All the best for your moving out!
