32. Leif and Thorn: Forget Me Not, by Erin Ptah

Owned: Yes Page count: 187 My summary: Things are going weird for Thorn Estragon. Amid an outbreak of the Whispers, he's dealing with a crowd of people wanting to break into the Embassy and looking after his bed-ridden friend who really shouldn't get the Whispers right now. But juggling all of that is not his problem anymore. The Woman in Black is on the case, and on the case, and on the case…yep, that's right, it's a time loop. My rating: 5/5 My commentary:

New Leif and Thorn day! At least, I'm writing this on the day the book arrived on my doorstep. Given the queue, it's probably been about a week before you're reading this. Anyway, Leif and Thorn! People who've been around these parts for a while will know that it's one of my favourite webcomics, I'm actually currently doing a full reread at the minute, and I have gotten each of the print copies of the books as they come out since I started reading. And as a webcomic, you too can go and read it for free right now! Check the link at the start of this paragraph! Anyway, this covers the arcs from Ø is for Øverwritten to Final Rest, but is mostly dealing with the Time Loop plot. Let's go!

It's a sign of a good ensemble piece, I think, that this volume is mostly about people who are not title characters Leif and Thorn, and for me to barely notice it beside a little bit of lampshading. Okay, granted, future Thorn does show up and is a major character, but the main arcs covered in this volume are from Mulberry and Rowan. More on Rowan later, but who the hell is Mulberry? Turns out the Woman In Black is Leif and Thorn's time-travelling future daughter here on a mission to keep a particular Big Bad Thing from happening (Kale getting the Whispers) and is stuck looping around one particular day in order to achieve that goal. Which sounds a lot sillier on paper than it does when it shows up! Poor Mulberry shows a lot of pluck and grit here - she's trying her hardest to put everything back together and avoid all of the family drama stuff while still being very much affected by, you know, seeing her dad and also her dad (and maybe probably also her dad) as younger people. Her almost gleeful throwing herself through this loop, trying options over and over again and even skipping bits so that she can figure out all of the puzzle pieces is really interesting and relatable - she's almost approaching gamer girl status in how she approaches the time loops, it's really interesting. That Mulberry has a connection to the people she's observing adds a good angle, she's not able to detach herself entirely from the characters because she's related to some of them! I fucking love time loops, man.

The other main story here is the Rowan/Archie one, where Thorn's knight Rowan goes on a date with showrunner of an NCIS-style show Archie. They get in some Peril from a dark magical girl, we get more of Team Thorn's magical girl Atarangi and her system, and that's all very well and good but what I want to talk about is virginity! Specifically, Rowan is very much into casual sex and one-night stands, we know this as a character trait of his at this point. Archie, however, is self-described as a thirty eight year old virgin who's not necessarily asexual or aromantic, but hasn't had a lot of experience with romance and sex. And the way they negotiate that is really interesting! There's conflict there, but it's not triggering or anything to me as a sex-repulsed ace - they have their own feelings about it, but ultimately deal with it in a very adult and very reasonable way. It's something that you see so rarely in fiction and I have to commend it for being a really engaging look at sexuality and asexuality (if that's what's actually going on with Archie) from a different angle.

Next up, a summer camp where things are most definitely about to go wrong at all…

in response to the asukaskerian post inspired by Turn Left: How would the story change if Plum Estragon successfully convinced Clover to seek treatment for her Bipolar Disorder?

She’s home for Tansy’s high school graduation. She’s alive for Thorn’s.

She has a steady local gig, teaching self-defense for teenagers, when Thorn first gets his heart broken, and makes an entirely serious offer to beat the guy up on his behalf.

She’s in Burnspoint pitching a fast-paced army drama for a lot of Tansy’s senior year, and bad weather keeps her ship from making it to Central in time for graduation, but she takes the day off and Plum streams the video and she claps so loudly that the guy in the next motel room yells for her to keep it down.

She makes it there in time for Thorn’s. She wrestles Larch to the mat and teases Tansy about the family predilection for dating sweet-natured singers.

When Thorn first comes home and draws a heartsword, he urges her to borrow it, just a little, for practice. Her form is pretty rusty. She ends up slicing one of Plum’s favorite lamps clean in half. (Plum forgives them, but not until after a fair amount of yelling.)

She gets really into professional gravestone restoration around the year her granddaughter is born. Sometimes the grandparents babysit, and she takes the little girl (okay, technically they’re not sure yet, but they’re guessing girl) on healthy fresh-air walks through local graveyards. When Hyacinth goes full-on goth as a teenager, Tansy has a good idea who to blame.

She starts to feel more out-of-sync with Hyacinth as the kid grows older, and has a harder time bonding with Hawthorn from the start, with his finicky boundaries and his complete refusal to enjoy last-minute plans decided on a whim. Until he gets old enough to read, and gets completely obsessed with a middle-grade mystery series she used to read as a kid. She can listen to him talk about the fine details of The Adventure of the Lost Unicorn or The Secret of the Old Wardrobe for hours, long after the rest of the family has lost interest.

She’s working at a restaurant the year of the dragon, and manages to keep up a strict regular schedule right up until they get the call that Thorn is in the hospital, at which point she gives notice in the middle of a shift and gets the next train home. (Plum isn’t even mad. She already has their bags packed.)

He’s in a healing coma when they arrive, to spare him being conscious of the pain while the medics try to repair the worst of the burn damage. She and Plum take turns sitting up with him, waiting until he’s allowed to be awake.

When his rehab has progressed enough that he can be safely moved, she stays behind to keep him company while Plum goes home to make sure they have a room ready.

She understands when Thorn jumps at shadows and candle-flames and unexpected scraping noises. She talks to him a bit about things she hasn’t discussed with anyone -- not even really with her wife. About what it’s like to know that your own brain is working against you. About how it feels to be sunk in the middle of a pain so deep that you can’t remember what not-hurting feels like.

The next time Thorn draws his heartsword, his arms can’t move enough to do much with it, but he gives it to her and she prunes the bushes in the much-neglected garden (before the restaurant, she got briefly into horticulture) and they agree that it’s still as good as ever.

When Thorn’s calls and social-network posts start sounding suspiciously fond of a cute gardener from Sønheim, she becomes the oldest person in the local university’s intro Sønheic class. It doesn’t last, mostly because her hearing is starting to go.

More and more dramatic things seem to be going down in Central over the next few years. Several times Plum has to talk her out of dropping everything and rushing there again. It’s not that bad, Plum insists, not this time, not yet. She lets herself be convinced.

It’s easy to miss things when she isn’t listening carefully, but she can still sing along perfectly to any of Plum’s songs based on a half-heard chord from the next room.

Thorn makes an offhand mention that his not-boyfriend is fluent in SønheimSign. She’s not the oldest person in the sign-language class, but she sure does have the roundest ears.

A whole lot goes down in Central. Seriously, you’re going to have to see it to believe it.

Point is, eventually she and Plum get a call (the volume turned way, way up) that they can expect another grandchild very soon.

“With my last name,” says Thorn, squeezing his partner’s hand, “because, well, you know how things are with Leif. And...we were thinking of naming it after Grandma.” He’s cautious on that last bit. He remembers when he was a kid, how she and Plum’s parents spent half the time on the verge of open war.

Well, tensions have cooled between her and her in-laws. A few decades of consistently not asking to borrow any of their money goes a long way.

She beams at him across the miles, and signs, That sounds perfect.

Since we're piling on the anime references in the current Leif & Thorn arc, how about another light novel cover?

The long-awaited sequel to "My Antisocial Neighbor Unexpectedly Turned Out to be a Dark Magical Boy in Undercover Rehab!" -- it's "A Magical Teenage Version Of Me Unexpectedly Got Isekai'd Into My Dimension?!"

From the Leif & Thorn magical boy AU -- what if I got some new sea-foam brushes, and gave Thorn a more ocean-themed cape?

With, as a bonus, his flashy new magic sword.
