Asura's Bride 11: The End is the Beginning Apr 09, 2021

Show notes

We begin with the classic warrior departure from the loving Yuwa, and learn that their happiness was short lived. Yuwa is taken home and Ulaan is presumed dead.

Yuwa mopes around her home for months, believing Ulaan to be defeated, but her chatty maids, while asking provocative questions, let it slip that things are not as she was told. Yuwa runs to her father, where she discovers none other than Ulaan himself waiting.

Yuwa learns the truth, Ulaan learns that Yuwa rescued his mother's robe, and they reunite to live happily ever after, of course.

Purple Hyacinth 88: Merciless Monarchs Apr 06, 2021

Show notes

Dakan and Tristan (aka Dakistan) continue their conversation on the couch, moving to the fireplace. There is an incredible amount of romance, but also an incredible amount of suspicious statements.

Poor Lauren went to get a glass of water but just overheard a shocking conversation that destroys her trust in yet another crucial figure in her life. This girl does not stop getting beaten up emotionally.

Our final scene shows us another one of Bella's victims. Who are the other two? Bella steps back into her home, only to be surprised by a very confident mysterious person.

In this episode, we discuss the central theme of this story at length: moral murkiness. We thought we knew what and who was good and bad, but together with Lauren, we are learning that life is not black and white, but a swirl of ambiguous and interlaced gray.

Asura's Bride 10: When Nuttin' Leads to Something (with Darla, Patty, and Peg) Apr 02, 2021

Show notes

Yuwa and Ulaan share a heart to heart about war, which Ulaan takes the wrong way. He questions her motives, and we learn about the Grand Advisor's ultimate plot.

Despite his previous anger, Ulaan tells her to respect herself and also shares confidential information. When he tells Yuwa to leave, she throws herself at him, and that opens the floodgates.

Check out the StoryTinker Patreon for a discussion of Lily's NSFW version of this chapter, discussed with her permission.

Purple Hyacinth 87: Even Escape (with Fwoot, Lilia, and Shivii) Mar 30, 2021

Show notes

We begin with a polite interchange between Darcy and Will that progressively gets filled with more and more lies as a baffled Lauren looks on.

Finally, Lauren decides she can't take it anymore, and fake trips. The elegant Darcy catches the glass, but then communicates wordlessly with Lauren and goes along with the plan.

Lauren fakes illness and Darcy and Will are spared from the charade their parents forced them into. Will and Lauren share a heart to heart where Will finally opens up about what he's seen. We learn about his past and begin to understand Rafael's perspective, and share some theories about Rafael and his family's roles.

There is a sweet moment at midnight, and then Lauren overhears a confidential conversation between Tristan and Dakan. A whole boatload more of theories ensues, and we end with a dramatic foreboding.

Asura's Bride 9: Unravel (with Myrna) Mar 26, 2021

Show notes

Our hearts melt like the snow outside as we watch Ulaan and Yuwa get ever closer with tender displays of affection.

They share a tender kiss, and all of Ulaan's pretenses of this being normal bathing fall away as he tells her how much she moves him, validating her as a person.

Unable to restrain himself, he pulls away and leaves, leaving Yuwa forlorn and contemplating her dreary and unloved future. But Ulaan quickly returns, admitting his love for her.

Yuwa decides to tell him who she really is, at which point a soldier bursts in with news that threatens to tear Ulaan and Yuwa apart.

Purple Hyacinth 86: Dazzling Demoiselle (with Fwoot and Rin) Mar 23, 2021

Show notes

What an episode! We open with the Sinclair's New Year's Party. Lauren doesn't seem too keen on parties, but plays the gracious hostess.

Stephan and Will come in, looking dashing, and Stefan and Tristan exchange compliments, some true, some merely polite.

As Rin would have it, the magnificent and inimitable Dakan arrives, and we discover a sweet and surprising connection.

Lauren finally tries to eat, only to spot, through the arms of the sandwich "thief," an undesirable element from the recent past.

She then grabs some cups, the meaning of which we relate to the tarot cards and speculate about, and converses with Dakan.

Dakan, Tristan, and Stefan then engage in a highly allusive and shaded conversation, while we desperately try to understand their meaning. And finally, to Fwoot's extreme joy, we have a late arrival to the party... the mysterious and stunning Darcy.
