Are you writing in-universe fanfiction on Ao3, or is your idea of somebody sneakily publishing a book about Toby with the names changed? Is your writer somebody Toby knows closely, or maybe someone from a kingdom over who only heard rumours of Sir Daye? Anything goes!<br /><br /><strong>If you want to write your own:</strong><br /><br />Below you'll find some of the names and details we crowdsourced, but absolutely feel free to come up with different names for everyone and everything. You probably want to keep Toby's - I mean, Sir Ember's name, but other than that, anything is free game.<br /><br />If you post your work on ao3, please tag with "Ember Nighte Universe (October Daye)" in the ADITIONAL TAGS field to make it easier for people to find works playing with this concept!<br /><br />(Also, if you're in the October Daye Discord, feel free to request the "Sir Ember's Entourage" role to be pinged for any future works in this universe!)<br /><br /><strong>Optional name suggestions:</strong></span><ul><li><span style="font-size: medium;">Evening Winterrose: Duchess Dusk, Marquise Midnight, or Nyx<br /></span></li><li><span style="font-size: medium;">Tybalt: Paris [from Romeo and Juliet]<br /></span></li><li><span style="font-size: medium;">Quentin: Eliot [Quentin's LI in the Magicians]<br /></span></li><li><span style="font-size: medium;">Dean: Sam [because... well]<br /></span></li><li><span style="font-size: medium;">Raysel: Rosa, Scarlett<br /></span></li><li><span style="font-size: medium;">August: Victoria<br /></span></li><li><span style="font-size: medium;">Sylvester Torquill: Lester Tor<br /></span></li><li><span style="font-size: medium;">Simon Torquill: Seymour Tor<br /></span></li><li><span style="font-size: medium;">Luna: Selene<br /></span></li><li><span style="font-size: medium;">January: December [first vs last month of the year]<br /></span></li><li><span style="font-size: medium;">Gillian: July [origin of her name]<br /></span></li><li><span style="font-size: medium;">September: Autumn<br /></span></li><li><span style="font-size: medium;">April: Spring, March?<br /></span></li><li><span style="font-size: medium;">May: February [second month from the start of the year; November is second from the end]<br /></span></li><li><span style="font-size: medium;">Luidaeg: Ursula<br /></span></li></ul><p><span style="font-size: medium;"><strong>Optional details:</strong><br /></span></p><ul><li><span style="font-size: medium;">Sir Ember is Daoine Sidhe, the daughter of Eira Rosynwyr herself.<br /></span></li><li><span style="font-size: medium;">Sir Ember is a redhead, and her love interest is a tuxedo cat who works tuxedos in his biped form.</span></li></ul><span style="font-size: medium;"><strong>Note:</strong></span><br /><ul><li><span style="font-size: medium;">Yes, we're aware this goes against Word of God "Fae don't create fiction" thing.
