Oh, The Feels

Literally inviting his fans to write Susan’s adult, angsty character development with a happy ending.

Do your duty fans. Write that fanfiction.

It really is all there, when you reread it.

From the first time he realizes she’s something special:

And she realizes she appreciates his approval:

The point where (IMHO) he really starts to fall for her:

He says her name for the first time, with just a hint of hesitation after:

He wants to keep her safe:

She recognizes that she trusts him:

And wants his approval:

By that point, when she may be in danger he is almost ready to disobey Moiraine to find her:

(Love how he catches her arm here)

And she’s happy that he’s pleased to see her:

And yet after that we’re still surprised as if “I should have known you would be a king” and “you are as beautiful as a sunrise….I will hate the man you choose because he is not me” came out of nowhere.

tyler pulling out his huge manila folder labeled ‘horror dates for cute psychopaths’ decorated with little hearts filled with ‘tyler x wedneaday 4 eva’ already with a halfassed plan to either save wednesday or join her with Thing on speed dial: uhhh well if u insist :/

It's the "Complimentary Mates" theory from @frecklesandfiction.

Basically, Feyre is besties with Cassian.

Nesta becomes besties with Azriel (a-la the reading light gift and his never judging her)

One bat boy is left to get their complimentary mate friend and that's Rhysand -- and he and Gwyn have SO MUCH IN COMMON. SOOOO MUCH.

“Look, I’ve told you you’re an ass. I just didn’t realize you were a royal one.”

“How long have you been training to be a prat, my lord”

Arthur: “We’re supposed to be hunting. It requires speed, strength, and an agile mind!” Merlin: “So you’re able to get by on two of the three then?”

Uther: “If this were a time of war, I’d have you flogged.” Merlin: “But since it’s not we’ll let it go just this once?”

“One day you’ll transform into a beautiful prince. But magic’s outlawed in Camelot so that’ll probably never happen.”                                      

Merlin: “She likes you?” Gaius: nods head Merlin:“Oh, that is disgusting.” “Imagine…imagine if she kissed you! UGH”

Arthur: “Take some advice from someone who knows about women-” Merlin: “If such a person existed maybe I would”

Authur: “You have the mind of a child” Merlin: “Yet I’m still more intelligent than you" 

"I take it you haven’t come all this way JUST TO SMASH MY FAVORITE POT”

Leon: “Whats the job, exactly?” Merlin: “To kill Arthur” Leon: “Driving you mad isn’t he?” Merlin: “Not for much longer!”

Gaius: “Sometimes two heads are better than one.” Merlin: “Yes but not when one of them is yours.” 

“PERCIVAL, that is a sword, it DOES hurt”

“Will it be hot? Will it be cold? Will it be wet? Will it be dry?" 

Merlin: "I wouldn’t do that if I were you because if you do that….you’ll never learn of my plan.” Arthur: “… What plan?” Merlin: “EXACTLY! That’s why you can’t run me through!”

“Don’t think too hard, I wouldn’t want you to hurt yourself”

“Are you threatening me with a SPOON?”

Morgana: “You’re just my imagination” Merlin: “That’s right. I’m not really here. Just pretend i’m not really here!”

“The belt is one hole shy of perfection!”

“Do you want us to help you?…. Or do you want to do this alOoOone"

Lorcan: Impossible, I don’t believe it.
