[purpleprincessonfyre]

And now before the Grand Finale, a mini post listing the odd shit my daughter says on a daily basis. Think Kids Say The Darndest Things then turn it up to....an eleven? Oh but I can't vouch for the stuff she said to Cole, or the stuff about monsters. Kids amiright? *opens another bottle of wine*

OUAT AU - Incorrect Quotes, Accurate Facts

Bella: *whilst at Cole's shop* Your husband is lost at sea somewhere.

What I Spent: A 5-Night Road Trip to Montreal

01 of 07

Upfront Costs

Elspeth Velten

The upfront costs of vacations are predictable. It’s the little things—airport snacks, cocktails before dinner, tipping a tour guide—that can throw even the most well-planned vacation budget off track. In this series, we look at the spending patterns of real travelers in popular destinations, so you can estimate what you’ll actually spend.

In this installment, one couple takes a five-night road trip from New York to Montreal.

Airbnb: $424 for 3 nights

Hotel: 53,065 Chase Ultimate Rewards Points ($795.98) for 2 nights

Size of Group: 2

Friday

Elspeth Velten

11:30 a.m.: Our loaner car (a 2017 Ford Edge Sport) is being dropped off outside my Manhattan apartment, but finding a parking spot during the daily alternate side parking wars will be no small task. The driver double parks — like every other car on the street at this time — and I realize I'll need to wait around until 12:30 p.m. to snag a spot as soon as the street cleaning timeframe is over. I go grab a shrimp empanada from the corner cart to make the wait taste better. Cost: $1.50

2:55 p.m.: My husband Charlie is home from work, our bags are packed and we're ready to go. Unfortunately, so is the rest of NYC — it's the Friday before Fourth of July weekend, and the FDR is bumper-to-bumper. I take the first round of driving — Charlie's new here and only has his Learner's Permit, and we're not clear on what the rules are around him driving on NYC highways.

4:55 p.m.: We pull off the road to quickly switch seats, so I can broadcast how cool this car is over my Insta Story (literally cool — air-conditioned seats are something I can no longer live without), SYNC up my iPhone to get the tunes going, and eat leftover gummy bears I found in my bag. 

5:30 p.m.: There's a store called Taste NY in the median of the Taconic State Parkway, and you can bet I'll be stopping there. We leave with a chocolate chip cookie, a cheddar and chickpea scone and one cold brew for the road. Cost: $10.65

8 p.m.: There have been some serious storms outside (torrential downpours and flash floods) and driving is treacherous. We need to eat it off. We Google the nearby options and decide on New Way Lunch of Queensbury. It's a dive-y diner, and it's perfect. We go for two hot dogs with meat sauce, onions and mustard, a fish sandwich with fries, and two birch beers. Cost: $24.00, including tip

8:30 p.m.: We gas up before getting back on the road. Cost: $20.32

9:30 p.m.: Are we in Canada yet? No. One more snack stop — Charlie gets a Twix and a water. Cost: $4.35

1 a.m. (Saturday): We made it to our Airbnb! We scored a prime parking spot on the street and had no problem getting into the apartment. Time to hit the sack.

Saturday

10:30 a.m.: We're awake and ready to get going — today, much like the rest of our trip, is all about eating. First thing's first: coffee. We find an ATM and then make a bee-line for the first cafe we can find. It happens to be the hipster hot spot Hof Kelsten bakery in Mile End. We order one latte and one cortado to go. Cost: $7.00

10:50 a.m.: We walk up to St. Viateur in Mile End, one of Montreal's two most famous bagel joints. I have my heart set on a lox sandwich, but the location we just arrived at doesn't seem to have seating or a sandwich menu. We confirm that we're at the wrong location (St. Viateur's sit-down cafe is located back where we started, in Mont-Royal) and decide to fit bagels in on another morning. All the better, because we're headed to the famous Jean Talon market. 

12 noon: We've made our initial lap around the market, and decide to start first at Boucherie An-Nasr, a brick-and-mortar butcher on the outskirts that's advertising merguez sandwiches. We share one merguez sandwich with tomato and harissa mayo, and one water. It's delicious. Cost: $6.33 

12:18 p.m.: Next stop is the market's renowned charcuterie: Les Cochons Tout Ronds. We seek advice on what's best to try, and settle on a 100-gram mix of the spicy and regular salami, and a 100-gram slice of terrine, to go. Cost: $6.61

12:30 p.m.: What's charcuterie without cheese? We head to La Fromagerie Hamel, where we let a cheesemonger talk us into one Quebecoise and one French cheese. Cost: $10.18 

12:35 p.m.: The La Boite aux Huitres oyster counter is a must in the market. We ask for 12 Canadian oysters — two each of six types from both the East and West coasts of the country. We stake out two seats at the bar while we wait for the oysters to get shucked, and then down them.

The couple next to us is waiting for a special order of “sea angel” oysters, and when they're delivered, we understand the novelty. They're huge! We ask about them and as our neighbors give us the scoop, our shucker lets us know he cracked open an extra for a different order on accident. One massive free (and somewhat terrifying) oyster, coming our way. Cha-ching. Cost: $23.17

12:57 p.m.: So far we've only split one sandwich and 12 oysters, so we definitely still have room to split a crepe. We go to battle over which type to order, but I give in to Charlie's plan: spinach, egg, ham and swiss. Savory crepes for life. Cost: $11.61

1:34 p.m.: We've finally eaten enough (I mean, not really, but OK). We pop in to Pharmaprix on the way home and leave with a razor, hair bands, water and toothpaste. Cost: $15.75

1:47 p.m.: It's raining. We jump into the metro at Beaubien towards Mont-Royal. Cost: $5.12

2:18 p.m.: We stop in the local depanneur (corner shop) to grab 10 beers and one big Evian before retreating to digest in our Airbnb. Cost: $22.21

6:45 p.m.: Our dinner reservation is at 8:30, so we leave plenty of time to hit a bar for a drink before. We head to Bily Kun, a Czech bar known for its extensive beer list and its stuffed ostrich decorations. We order two small beers by Quebec brewery Brasserie McAuslan: one with apricot and one cream ale. Of course, we can't resist a snack. With our second round, we add a “Combo Jenni” — a plate of nachos with a side of cheese sausage. Cost: $22.28

8:30 p.m.: It's our turn at Au Pied de Cochon.

In researching this trip, I, of course, set my heart on a couple of restaurants that are super difficult to book. With a little bit of help from the concierge at the Hotel Gault (a Preferred Hotels & Resorts property), where we booked a room for the last two nights of the trip, I was able to snag reservations at three of my top choices. This is one of them. 

Au Pied de Cochon is known for its unapologetic Canadian menu of rich meats, poutine and maple syrup desserts. The menu has an entire foie gras section! We decide to start with the tuna tartare (how could we not, when the tuna is fresh today, straight from Nova Scotia?), and then share the stuffed pig's foot and a foie gras poutine. We glug through two glasses of orange wine, one glass of red and one bottle of sparkling water, before admitting defeat in the face of half a remaining trotter. Our waitress pours us free shots of Calvados, and takes one with us. We drag ourselves home on foot, and I vow to never eat again. Cost: $158.51

10:27 p.m.: Charlie can't end the night without sugar. He grabs an ice pop at the depanneur. Cost: $1.88

Sunday

Elspeth Velten

8:30 a.m.: I wake up, and immediately start to think about what time I should get Charlie moving so we can go get bagels and not have to wait on a long line.

8:45 a.m.: Oh wait, something suspicious is happening. Those are probably just hunger pains, right? Some fresh air on the walk to the bagel cafe will do me good, and then I'll be fine. 

9 a.m.: This isn't normal. 

9:30 a.m.: Oh, haha, I have actual food poisoning. “It's probably Norovirus”, I tell everyone in my phonebook. Good thing this entire trip wasn't planned around eating or anything. Cost: My dignity and lifelong desire to eat oysters ever again

12:45 p.m.: Charlie looks hungry — he can't do life alone. I try to pull it together for the sake of the team. I buy a water immediately, then make it about two blocks before retiring to a bench to hopefully not vomit in front of Canadians while Charlie goes back to Hof Kelsten for a croissant. I mean, I get it, but, kind of rude. Cost: $4.30

3:20 p.m.: Trying this whole “going outside” thing again. But not without supplies. I grab three individual packets of Advil, a water, and a soda (for Charles). Cost: $5.13

3:40 p.m.: I made it further this time — to Boulangerie Guillaume. I can do this. We settle for just one baguette and an almond croissant, and we walk over to sit in the grass at Mount Royal Park with the cheese and terrine we bought at the market yesterday. I'm suddenly feeling much better (it's relative — things won't be normal again for at least a week). It's Saturday, so the park is alive with the sounds of the Tam-Tams, a weekly drum circle that sprouts up around the George-Étienne Cartier Monument, and the crowds that the drummers attract. Cost: $6.10 

7:15 p.m.: We cannot lose a night's worth of food plans. We don't have a reservation for tonight, but I planned that we'd drive to Le Coq de L'est, a hipster tandoori chicken joint way out in the 'burbs. Having a car on this trip certainly has its perks! Surely I can handle some chicken. We order a whole chicken (which comes with frites, cole slaw and house bread) and a Caesar salad. Charlie has a beer. The meal is worth the drive; this is the best Caesar salad I've ever had, and that's not the food poisoning talking! We wrap the leftovers. Cost: $55.20

Monday

Elspeth Velten

10:30 a.m.: We are awake, we are in eating condition, and we are at St. Viateur. We wait about 20 minutes for a table, and then order two traditional bagel sandwiches (that's smoked salmon with cream cheese, tomato, onions, capers and lemon) — one on sesame, one on all dressed (AKA everything) — with crab salad on the side. And two filter coffees! I'm a New Yorker, so it's important to me personally to suss out the realities of this bagel rivalry. Cost: $30.42

11:23 a.m.: The bagels are bready, and there are no free refills on the filter coffee. I'm still a devout Long Island bagel enthusiast! On our walk back, we (I) can't stifle our intrigue surrounding a mysterious bakery we walked past earlier with a long line. We find it on the way back, and while I wait in line, I determine they're famous for making French kouign amann pastries. Guess what? They're sold out for the next 40 minutes. I grab a cheese croissant and a raspberry and almond danish instead. We save them for later. (Can you tell our food collection is growing?) Cost: $4.63

12:29 a.m.: We've checked out of the Airbnb and stashed our stuff in the car. Now it's time to do some damage to that leftover stash we've been hoarding. We grab drinks at the depanneur and set our sights on the top of Mont Royal. We're rewarded after the climb with a view and a picnic. Cost: $3.32

3:23 p.m.: Before checking into the Hotel Gault, we decide to drive over to the Atwater Market, another of the city's popular food halls. We meander between the rows of outdoor plants and perfectly preened baskets of berries, and drool over the display cases of pate inside. Remembering our existing food collection, we buy only a Coke and a Pellegrino. Cost: $2.23

4:17 p.m.: We find a parking garage near the hotel. Cost: $13.29 per day for 3 days = $39.87

6:30 p.m.: This hotel is beautiful — our modern room incorporates original design elements seamlessly behind the building's 19th century facade — and we booked it on points! Dinner tonight is at 8 p.m., so we head out early for drinks. Cost: $7.82 for two unlimited evening passes on the Metro

7 p.m.: We go for beers before dinner on Rue Saint-Denis — Charlie picks L’Amere a Boire, and we take two seats at the terrace on the street. Cost: $23.51 for five beers.

8 p.m: Tonight’s the night for L’Express, one of Montreal’s most famous French brasseries. We’re seated towards the back, where tables of two are lined up with little space between, and the waiter is lagging big time. That just gives us more time to enjoy our prosecco before ordering.

Charlie chooses the celery remoulade and the hanger steak, and I go for the bone marrow and the house ravioli (they’re mushroom!). We down a bottle of Cote du Rhone, and end things with an ile flottante and a crème caramel. We laugh through the meal as nearby couples eye our food and order accordingly — we barely even remember that the service was subpar. Cost: $162.09

Tuesday

Bota Bota

10:45 a.m.: We start the day at the Titanic café, around the corner from Hotel Gault. They don’t officially serve breakfast — the only offer one type of egg sandwich and coffee. We order two sandwiches, a latte and a macchiato. The sandwiches arrive with scrambled eggs, tomato, lettuce, ham and cheese. They’re delicious, and make up for the fact that my macchiato is actually a latte. Cost: $28.35 including tip (I’m shocked! That’s what happens when you don’t order from a menu.)

11:05 a.m.: Today we’re tackling Old Montreal. We walk through Place d'Armes, and pay to enter the Notre Dame Basilica. It’s worth it to stand beneath the basilica’s colorful interior for a few minutes. Cost: $4.86 each

1:30 p.m.: We conclude our self-guided walking tour at Olive et Gourmando, where we wait for around 30 minutes before being seated inside the bakery. The restaurant is known for its homemade bread and healthy salads. We go for two sandwiches — one Cajun chicken and one Cubain — a raspberry lemonade and an elixir iced tea. This place lives up to its reputation as the best bet for lunch in Montreal’s most touristy area. Cost: $39.39 including tip

2:45 p.m.: We’ve spent the last few days running around and eating — now it’s time to relax and sweat it out. We head to Bota Bota, a 1950s ferryboat that’s been converted into a spa docked on the St. Lawrence River. The boat stares directly at the Montreal skyline, so it’s easy to cycle between the spa’s saunas, steam rooms, hot and cold pools and hammock chairs for three hours. Cost: $102.45 for the “Water Circuit” for two

5:30 p.m.: We’re walking along the river’s industrial edge, and we’re dehydrated. We grab two seltzers from a vending machine. Cost: $3.24

7:45 p.m.: It’s time to head out for our last big meal, and it’s the one I’m most excited for. We grab two evening passes and take the metro to the Little Burgundy neighborhood. Cost: $8.10

8 p.m.: We head into Burgundy Lion for our pre-dinner drink. Charlie has two beers and I nurse a vodka soda. I need to be in prime condition to make the most of dinner! (And my stomach is still a mess.) Cost: $21.87 including tip

9 p.m.: We’re finally at Liverpool House, known for being the sister restaurant of famous next-door neighbor, Joe Beef, and for recently hosting Justin Trudeau and Barack Obama for dinner. Casual. Our table isn’t ready, so we order two beers while we wait.

At a table out back on the terrace, we decide on a couple of dishes to share. We start with the homemade rabbit sausage and a dish of morel mushrooms served with garlic bread, then move on to pork ribs with clams and the restaurant’s most famous dish — a creamy and rich lobster pasta. The waitress suggests a bottle of wine to match: we agree on a 2015 bottle of Magic of Ju-Ju. We’re too full for dessert, and to ever eat again. Cost: $204.40

Wednesday

Elspeth Velten

9:30 a.m.: Just kidding! A stay at one of Montreal’s best boutique hotels would be incomplete without a big old room service breakfast. We order two orders of eggs Benedict with ham, one latte and one regular coffee. Cost: $54.27

12:10 p.m.: We’re on the road, and we need to fill up before hitting the border. Cost: $44.01

3 p.m.: I’m back in the States, and I’ve lost all desire to pretend I don’t still have food poisoning. And what’s more soothing for an upset stomach than fake food? Yep, we finish off a trip of fine-dining at McDonald's. Cost: $15.00

6 p.m.: We fill up the tank one more time before arriving back in NYC. Cost: $33.50

Totals:

Accommodation: $424.00

Food & Drink: $968.60

Transport: $159.02

Miscellaneous: $133.05

Cole has a cult of just regular old ostriches? That is fucking based

Oh no, the cult is it's own thing.

It's the reason why Ninjago City doesn't have a zoo anymore.

But Cole does have ostrich fans. Lou retired and started his own ostrich farm in his son's honor (and in case the curse became permanent).

[swampythesweetsketch]

pretty boy transformation

[swampythesweetsketch]

Wereostrich Cole au

Implying Cole isn’t the emperor of Ninjago now and long shall all fear his tail feathers

He first decree as Emperor is for Harumi to go to therapy.

[swampythesweetsketch]

Jay: Mom, Dad, I'm getting married.

Edna: Oh! We're so proud of you!

Ed: Who's the lucky girl, son?

Jay: Well you see...

A giant ostrich comes into the Walker's trailer, wearing the yang half of Jay's yin pendant.

Everyone: ...

Jay: Now, hear me out-

Edna: Honey, that is a bird.

Ed: A big bird.

Jay: IT'LL ALL MAKE SENSE TONIGHT I PROMISE.

[swampythesweetsketch]

Cole and Jay have their wedding during the day & till sundown so most of the reception party Jay’s walking around with his betrothed Ostritch

The ceremony ends with a Shrek-like transformation sequence

Jay turns into an ostrich, much to his & everyone’s surprise, and now he and Cole have to break both curses

That crossed out section made me whheeeeeze

To be honest, I think Jay'd turn into a kookaburra.

Oh definitely they did it during the day! Jay wanted to be 10000% sure when they did their vows (more plural, Cole only chirped a bit in his vows so uh-) and did it at noon at the latest.

When they were official via kiss, Cole turned back human. He was more emotional during the whole ceremony than his dad or Jay's parents.

[swampythesweetsketch]

My brain decided to curse me with this mental image so I’m cursing you with it too—

Nya or one of the others walking in on Cole, in ostrich form, Kabedoning Jay against a wall either with his long bird legs or his long bird neck

Imp you are funny

[swampythesweetsketch]

[Ostrich Prince Cole AU]

Cole: Dude, I know you like her, but this is more than just a crush! I need this to be free or I’ll be stuck as an ostrich forever!

Jay: Oh yeah, go ahead, marry my ex, prove you’ve got the cold selfish heart of an ostrich!

Cole: She’s my perfect match! We get married, I’m no longer cursed, everyone’s happy!

Jay: I’M NOT, COLE!

Cole: I KNOW, AND I’M SORRY, BUT I DON’T WANT TO BE STUCK WITH FEATHERS FOR THE REST OF MY LIFE! SO I’M SORRY TO TELL YOU THIS, BLUEJAY, BUT SHE’S NOT INTERESTED IN YOU!

Jay: I KNOW THAT!

Cole: THEN LET ME MARRY HER!

Jay: NO!

Cole: Jay I swear to the FSM if you don’t quit being selfish I’ll peck your eye out!

Jay: Selfish? SELFISH? Oh yeah, because you want to marry my ex and leave me all alone, I’m sooo ducking SELFISH!

Cole: You’re ALREADY alone!

Jay: I KNOW! AND I DO IT BECAUSE I DON’T WANT YOU STUCK WITH ME!

Cole: I’M ALREADY— what?

Jay: BECAUSE IF I WAS SELFISH, YOU WOULDN’T BE MARRYING NYA, YOU’D BE MARRYING ME!

Cole: Hold on—

Jay: BUT NO, IT’S NOT FAIR TO YOU BECAUSE YOU DON’T LIKE ME THAT WAY, AND I’M NOT GOING TO FORCE YOU TO MARRY ME USING YOUR CURSE AS BLACKMAIL BECAUSE THAT’S JUST DUCKED UP!

Cole: Wait wait you— you want to marry me?

Jay: YES! I LOVE YOU AND YOUR STUPID FEATHERED FACE, MOTHERDUCKER, SO JUST GO BE WITH NYA ALREADY AND LET ME GET OVER MY HEARTBREAK WITH A TUB OF ICECREAM FROM ZANE!

Cole:

Cole: I feel like we need to talk.

Ohhh this is freaking delish~

Nya comes back to find that Cole and Jay have disappeared into thin air.

It's them, out on a quiet stroll away from everyone, shy hands intertwined. Neither knows what to say. But they need to stay close.

It'll be sunrise soon.

[swampythesweetsketch]

Okay but the REAL question:

How many ostriches do Jay and Cole break out of the zoo during their honeymoon

None. They do not mess with the Ostrich Cult.

[swampythesweetsketch]

What is the ostrich prince au btw? Is it like swan lake only instead of being a swan Cole is cursed to be an ostrich instead? I need deets plz.

It is. It is 100% a Swan Princess AU of sort.

It's also a spinoff from a joke AU I made where in canon, Cole is a ostrich. Nothing changes much in canon, even if Cole is a ostrich.

The Ostrich Prince AU gives it a little more meat as Cole, traveling about Ninjago to moutn his mother, got into a scuffle with a drunk wizard. Who then cursed Cole into being an ostrich.

Cole traveled more alone, kept away from poachers and hunters, and eventually met Wu on the same mountain. And Wu knew Cole's predicament, so Jay and Zane were introduced to Cole at night, when the curse took a nap and allowed him back in his human form.

Eventually Jay and Zane do find out Cole's curse and the three agree to keep an eye out for the wizard.

Cole's curse pertains that me must find a bride or groom that will marry him in his ostrich form by his 19th birthday, or else the curse will take full effect and trap him in his ostrich form forever.

This AU Cole in result is much more flirtatious in nature and 100% goes in for the love triangle cause if Nya was his perfect match, then they can get married and he'll be free! This causes major issues between him and Jay. :/

[swampythesweetsketch]

Ostrich prince Cole au

Ok but the potential chaos of Nya choosing both Jay and Cole. Becoming a poly is a mood too.

Nya is pressured cause she did like Jay. And if she doesn't choose Cole, he might get trapped with his curse forever.

She's just stressing hard before Cole actually finds the love of his life in his loudmouth friend.

[swampythesweetsketch]

Kai: I hatched a ostrich!

Cole: Oh cool! What did you name it?

Kai: :]

Cole: ... Is it-

Kai: Cole Jr.

Cole: omg.

[swampythesweetsketch]

Version of the werewolf AU where Cole turns into a wild ostrich on the full moon

Cole: HONK.

Cole runs around the Monestary and kicks everything in sight.

He kicks Zane through the wall and the nindroid falls down the whole mountain.

Cole wakes up the next morning human again, to find out he assassinated the Emperor of Ninjago.
