Summary

An agent of the fae hires runners to figure out why a metaplanar farm has stopped supplying its tasty treats, after a monster has been attacking their livestock and crops. It is revealed that the "monster" is a former friend from the farmer's past life as a bandit, and the runners reunite the two and mend the relationship.

Background

A jarl by the name Iobhar has been spending the past several years on Earth, meddling with metahuman affairs and amassing wealth through various schemes and business ventures. However, being so far from Faerie leaves him craving a taste of home and so arranges for a farm on a hyper-metaplane called the Fields of Delight to delivery him fae sweets from time to time. That farm failed to deliver recently, and so he's tasked one of his metahuman agents, Darragh Sheehan, with looking into the issue. Ancient treaties and pacts prevent the Seelie and Unseelie Courts and their agents from meddling in the affairs of the Fields of Delight, so Darragh turns to hiring shadowrunners.

Meanwhile, in the Fields of Delight, a spider-like spirit named Silky Grimshadow has been terrorizing the Fuzzytail Farm in retaliation for being abandoned by the owner years ago when Farmer Fuzzytail and the rest of a gang known as the Bloody Bon Bons decided to go straight and take up an agrarian life instead of crime. Hoping to drive them back to banditry by ruining the farm, Silky has started attacking their fields, stealing and tearing apart lifestock, and committing vandalism. Farmer, and his wife Goodie, have no idea who's responsible for the acts, but are on their wits end and don't see a way to meet their obligations to their farmhands and clients if it continues.

The Meet

The runners are told to meet at a high end cafe in Bellevue called the Moondrop Cafe after closing, and do so once Awesome Possum untangles herself from a gig playing at a dive bar and Frieren wraps up a tea party with fae spirits. The cafe's proprietor, Darragh Sheehan, explains that his boss is having supply-chain issues with a farm very, very far away, playfully dancing around the fact that he means to send the runners on a metaplanar quest, until Frieren catches on and informs the team. He assumes them that he can handle "travel", and that it should only be a spiritual journey rather than a physical one. The team eventually agrees, and he supplies them with cookies containing alchemical compounds from the Fields of Delight that will temporarily send someone's astral form to the Fields once consumed.

They decide to all eat the cookies in Awesome Possum's parked car instead of leaving their bodies in the cafe, and suddenly find themselves getting very, very sleepy after eating the sweet treats...

The Run

Aftermath

With Silky reunited with the former Bloody Bon Bons, he becomes a valuable member of Fuzzytail Farm and gradually restores his relationship with Farmer Fuzzytail. The farm is able to continue to supply its clients, including the jarl Iobhar.

Thankful for the kindness of the runners, a package of treats and potions is sent to them along with the next shipment of crops, which eventually makes its way to their doorsteps via fairy plot magic.
