Aianon has made a plant in the open airless space above the surface of Thilanushinyel. It is a very, very large plant - some dragons will be attending the party, after all, even if Ansharil in particular is going to be assorted small things and stay on Sarion's person the bulk of the time.
The locals will be Sarion, her beloveds, their other beloved, the five conjured dragons (and their Bondmates, where applicable: Virgivere and Lissa), and Liselen - Magania has, as usual, declined, and so far no Bell party has featured Bell parents.
Amariah is bringing her boyfriend and spontaneous daughter and two of the spontaneous daughter's friends, as well as an Alethian instance of the Rupert template.
Shell Bell is bringing Pearl and Screwdriver.
Golden is bringing her usual large contingent, as usual not including her husband but including her daughter and daughter's grown fosterling (the other remaining at home) and his wolf, both mothers-in-law and one father-in-law, adopted siblings, staff members including the Joker and Nathan, and the children of the aforementioned.
Glass is bringing both wives, all three daughters, Kanim, and her cat. She invited Icarin and Valeria, but their parents are not willing to let them gallivant into other worlds unsupervised and had a scheduling conflict.
Stella's bringing a smattering of people including Alice, Anna, Sandy, Libby, Bridget, her college roommate Janine, and Lazarus.
Tab is bringing Aelise (but not Kers) and Luhan.
Etty is bringing only Nona.
Aether, likewise, brings no one but Celo.
Pattern comes with Ripper, Slipstick, Queenie, and Ghosty.
Aegis is accompanied by her four-bodied boyfriend, Merryweather, Whitlock, and Howlett.
Aurora comes with Brilliance, Lexi with her Device Persica, Agent Honey with her Device Adularia, and Beth.
Rose brings her husband and three children and her former apprentice, Luc.
Angela brings her husband, her four children, several of her friends, and some of those friends' children and grandchildren with and without wings. Keziah also brings a friend.
Juliet shows up with Soph, Minus, Red, Giles, James, Virginia, Minnie, Ike, and Val.
Cam brings Jellybean and Tilly and stops there.
And from unBelled worlds hail additional Sherlocks and Tonies, Darcy, Matilda, Pepper, and Eights.

So does Tony.
Then he snuggles down against Ripper for a prolonged celebratory pre-pillow-fort kiss.

Tony sits up and notices that she is doing that.
"Wow, awesome, you're the best, I love you," he says, beaming some more.

"I love you too! I mean I figured we are going to be doing serious architecture, here, I remember you with the gingerbread, so there will be no going 'now where did I put that one lego, I mean pillow'."

Soph leans over to kiss Tony, too (who doesn't want to kiss Tony?) and then resumes pillow-sorting.

Aww kisses yay kisses!
Tony gets in on the pillow-sorting too. It is a necessary step before the architecture can begin.

Sort sort sort. Soph begins testing various pillows for properties like their ability to stand on end and form stable stacks.

Tony spontaneously hugs her.
"Pillow science!" he proclaims gleefully. "No, better. Pillow engineering."

Eee hugs! Those are distracting though! A pillow topples over when she is seized. "I love you."

"I love you toooo." Snuggle snuggle. Okay, back to pillow science!
Tony seems to be the test-as-you-go type: he starts laying foundations on the bed, paying attention to the shape of the pillows but not the colour.

"Yes!" says Tony. "Yes I will."
His plans are very grand. This pillow fort is going to have four walls, an arched doorway, a blankety roof, and room enough for all three of them inside. (It's a big bed, so space at least won't be an issue.)
It's that archway that gives him trouble. Pillows just aren't made to do that. But Tony is sure he can persuade them, if he builds the walls well enough.

Soph believes in him! She will hold key pillows in place while he tries things.

Ripper gets swept up in the excitement and is happy to serve as a third pair of hands where necessary.

Experimentation proceeds. Eventually, with the rest of the walls already up, he gets it stable. He kisses Ripper (briefly) and Soph (less briefly) to celebrate.

Kissing Tony is Soph's favorite thing. (Although apparently watching attractive third parties kiss Tony would also make any multi-item list.)

Tony beams.
"Okay, let's do the roof."
Blanket! Big colourful thin-but-snuggly patchwork quilt, to be specific. It's the lightest blanket available and therefore the easiest to stabilize. Tony rolls it up and hoists an end.
"Somebody wanna take the other end so we can unroll it over the walls, and somebody else wanna lay down more pillows on top?"

"Awesome! Over here," he says, hauling his end higher so they can carry the rolled blanket to the back of the fort.
