Is it an item? The wiki doesn't have any record of it - could you put it on your profile so I can make the usual Fate-item bare bones page?

Apparently the silver leaves unlock a new social action. Anyone know what it does for both people? I sent you one. I've no idea what it gives the recipient, but the sender's rewards are modest.
Thanks! It increased walking the falling cities, but I don't know by how much.

I know one of the custom backer stories was of the Vake and its real identity. Do we know who else got a custom story and what it was about?

You're probably not the only one! 
NiteBrite was kind enough to send me the link, too. I can only say: wow! If that's what you get when you pay Failbetter to write a tailor-made FL story for you, then I hope that such an opportunity will arise again in the future! 
Edit: I guess we've went quite off-topic here. To not derail the thread even further, don't post "I want the link, too", rather PM me, or someone else "in the know"...

I do know that for the other backer story about the Vake, the player in question received a special item allowing them to both replay the story at any time and let other players go through the story themselves.

I've personally asked both backers (and gotten both social actions! The Vake social action gives out the recipient a whole extraordinary implication), and the item doesn't reset the storyline, resetting the storyline is just a storylet unlocked at their lodgings.

Does the action indeed allow others to play the storyline themselves then? If so, is there some difference in the quality values preventing them from resetting at will?

I have no idea, but if I had the choice I'd make it so the player could choose somehow if another player can repeat it or not. Like they have two options, one for a non repeatable version and one for a repetable version. That way he could hand the repeatable story out to people if he wished, but the non repetable one if not.

for some reason, I think the leaf from the silver tree might be my favorite (regarding the design) item in FL. it looks so pretty!
--
Ochrasy. Monster-Hunter. Dangerous and Watchful, favors the Constables.
Robitaille. Persuasive and Shadowy, fond of the Devils.
Herr Horst. Seeker of Revenge.
Open to all social actions on all accounts. Preferably, send any MW-providing actions to Ochrasy.

The owners of the storylines can repeat them anytime they want, the other social action does not gift the storyline, or give a pseudo storyline, only a few cp of Walking the Falling Cities (I can find out how many cp once they're back in the Fifth City).

If you need A Shattering Force to train you, just send a message saying so.
Will likely accept any social action you need if not busy, even occasionaly loitering. Just warn me if it is a harmful one.

A big congrats to Drake, I pushed as hard as I could, but I hit my limit at $2000. Believe you me Drake, it was just as nerve-wracking for me. I have my regrets, but I'm glad it went to such a stand-up fellow. Most importantly, it's a fair bit of money raised for a good cause.
