Fanfic / Seraphina's Tea Quest

Seraphina's Tea Quest is a 2023 Massive Multiplayer Crossover fanfiction penned by NoonboryKedabory. Billed as a sequel to The Season's My Reason, it began publication on July 5th, 2023.

Seraphina, a fairy who can travel between universes, discovers that an insect known as the Purple Spot Parasite has escaped and is spreading its pox around the world. To cure the victims, she must gather special ingredients for a tea, but she'll need a lot of help to do it.

Tropes:

• Adaptation Expansion: In Encanto, Antonio could understand and talk to animals. In Chapter 9, he can talk to and understand the light orb that Seraphina sends to request help with the Purple Spot Pox.
• Affectionate Gesture to the Head: Bear pats Chef Clara's head when he first meets her.
• An Ice Person: Samira uses ice powers to create a barrier to protect the fairies from the Parasite.
• Astonishingly Appropriate Interruption: While Seraphina explains to the fairies that she needs to make her next jump, she's interrupted by Saffron running by telling them to jump over a hedge to hide from the Purple Spot Parasite.

• Chain of People: In Chapter 6, Bear, Theresa, Chef, Summer, Animal and Fozzie do one of these to help Seraphina stabilize the portal.
• Cliffhanger: Chapter 6 ends with Seraphina receiving a distress call, opening a portal to look and saying she needs to go before going in with Chapter 7 revealing it to be because of unruly portals opening and caused the casts of Muppet Babies (2018) and A Big Blue House in Tall Pine Grove to get lost in each other's realms.
