Fandom: The Magicians (TV)
Pairing: The Monster|Eliot/Brian|Quentin

Summary:

Eleven months after Fogg wipes the Questers, the Monster kidnaps Brian outside a New York City bookstore. Only—Brian isn't exactly not Quentin—and the Monster isn't exactly not Eliot, either.

Notes: Complete in 10 chapters at about 76,000 words at basically the last possible second I could finish it without crashing into S4. Strong warnings for consent issues and disturbing content. My full warning policy is in my AO3 profile, and you are always welcome to privately email me with more specific warning-related questions. There's quite a bit more meta info and a playlist link in the beginning notes on AO3.

Discussion: Season 4 Episode 1, "A Flock of Lost Birds"

[allheadybooks]

This is the official discussion post for the Season 4 premiere episode! Feel free to jump into the comments below and share your reactions, questions, best lines, weirdest moments, quippiest quips, and most tragic facial expressions.

I work Wednesday nights (unfortunately), so I will be joining in tomorrow once I've had a chance to watch the episode. I'm planning to use SyFy's one-day-delay streaming option, but if anybody knows of a good black market source for fresh-off-the-back-of-a-truck Magicians eps, do us all a favor and link below.

This post is just for discussing the episode itself. A second post will go up tomorrow where we can collect screencaps, icons, gifs, fic prompts, episode codas, and meta about the episode.
