In a place as strange as the Everfree Forest, is it really so surprising that its Trees should communicate? They have, after all, been there for a long, long time. Even so, that doesn't mean that nothing ever changes in the woods, or that the Trees have always been that way...

It certainly is in the Everfree!

Why are you just repeating what Forcalor said?
(Edit: The comment has gone.)

Maybe they wanted to reiterate how it is dark and mysterious
Can relate.
Anyway, nice read

Turns out they were just a spammer, hence the account disappearing. Oh well! Thank you for your kind comment.
I love how this is an explanation for something that didn't need to be explained (I mean, imo at least), but you made it worth explaining in the first place. :D

Thank you! I'd had the vague idea bumping around my head ever since the Swamp Fever episode went out, but I needed something to make me actually write the damn thing. The contest worked as the catalyst!

oh snap is that what this is? :D I never picked up on that, kudos!

Yes: my thinking was that there just might be at least a "Hmm, I wonder?" about whether Discord created Swamp Fever -- hence that character's light inclusion in the story.
... I don't suppose that these are meant to be the swamp fever trees, are they?

Indeed they are. There is one mention of the word "Fever" in the text, and that's the reason.
An oddball ghost happened across your fic and read it. Have a review!

Thank you! I mean, you don't have to read all these fics of mine, but I'm not gonna stop you...

looking forward to giving a fic of yours a deeper treatment tbh - this one was barely skimmable, so overwhelmed was I by the style, I could only just take in the lore you were putting down D:
