Eliot stepped out the front door of the house on Apocalypse Avenue to head in to work -- extremely late, yes, but hey, at least he was going, okay? -- and paused to light a cigarette.

It was his first of the day. Not because he was making any sort of concerted effort to quit or anything. He'd just only woken up about half an hour ago. So he could be forgiven, maybe, for pausing on the stoop to savor that first hit of nicotine, closing his eyes and letting out the smoke with a soft sigh.

When he opened his eyes, he was looking at a tree.

With a clock in it.

"Oh fuck me," he muttered. "Margo? Margo, did you get Fillory-napped with me?" He cocked his head, listening for the mellifluous strains of what would surely be an impressive amount of cursing.

All he heard were fucking birds.

"Well. She's going to shit a brick." He sighed, took another drag on his cigarette, then looked around at the nearby bushes. "Any bunnies around here want to go on a trip for me? Hello? I have smokes to spare. . . ."

[Eliot is now officially expat-ed! He'll be showing up from time to time for [personal profile] not_a_goddamn_princess's plot purposes, but will otherwise be low-key and quiet. Because braaaaaains.]

"High King Eliot," the Fairy Queen said, from his damned throne. Eliot blinked a few times, having long learned how to keep his surprise and outrage on the inside when facing down a threat.

"Your Fairy Queenness. Can I help you with something?"

"You've been attempting to send rabbits to your High Queen."

Eliot lifted his chin. "I . . . may have tried to make contact, yes."

Ultimately, Eliot decided, the problem was that he didn't have anyone to properly brainstorm with. Josh was too damned cheery all the time, which was great in a dealer of relaxing pharmaceuticals baked into delicious desserts, but worth fuck-all when the world was going after your balls with a belt sander. He needed to talk to Quentin. Quentin knew all about this whimsical Fillory crap. The problem with that, of course, was that Quentin was basically on another planet, and without magic, he had no way to talk to him.

Without . . . his own magic. But whimsical Fillory crap was all about magic. Like fairies.

And talking animals.

Bunnies! Bunnies, it must be Bunnies! )

Tick Pickwick, former Regent and current CFO of Fillory, stood in his usual position before his monarch, and refused to let his smile waver. "I'm sorry, your majesty. We simply don't have the funds to —"

Eliot cut him off. He was really tired of hearing this. "We'll just have to borrow."

"Begging pardon," said . . . one of Eliot's other advisors. Look, there were kind of a lot of them and they were always whining about money and Eliot's focus had been kind of elsewhere lately since, oh yeah, Margo vanished, Quentin killed a god, and magic went away. "But Tick is right."

Eliot stopped listening. One of the fairies was walking up to the Fairy Queen, who was seated in Quentin's throne to Eliot's left. Glancing over at them and trying not to stare at the empty throne of the High Queen where Margo should have been sitting, Eliot watched as the slightly masc fairy handed their queen a black and white rabbit.

He was the only one who could actually see the fairies, something to do with making fairy deals. Technically, he supposed, Fen could still see them, but she was a bit distracted being completely bat shit crazy and cooing at the log she'd decided was their stolen first born child.

Look. There was just a lot going on here, okay?

Eliot misses Margo and Josh makes chili )

[NFB, NFI, OOC welcome. Eliot's got a little bit to do in Fillory before he makes it to Fandom sometime mid-week. First scene adapted from Magicians 3x01, "The Tales of the Seven Keys"]
