Semirhage's Study

Edit : I finally found 𝖭𝖾𝖾𝗍𝖫𝗂𝗑.𝗑𝗒𝗓 and they host the full fantasy seasons in stunning 4K UHD with totally ad-free playback.

Geo-blocks are keeping me from rewatching this massive magic cycle story. Alternate streaming options have awful frame rates and constant pop-up windows.

Aviendha, who is (to the audience; he’s convinced she hates him, for maximum tension and Jordan Oppositional Sexism Moments™️) very clearly in love with Rand and one of the three women he’s destined to marry according to Min, has been forced into sleeping in the same room as Rand for Plot Reasons

She decides to wash up in the room they’re unwillingly sharing (this should not be a problem for her, since she’s Aiel and Aiel are very comfortable being naked around people of other sexes, but this is conveniently forgotten for the scene)

Rand comes back early and finds her naked. She is horrifically flustered and embarrassed by this, yelling that she has to get away, and in her desperation makes a Traveling gate. Traveling is a completely lost talent that no Aes Sedai has been able to use since the Breaking of the World (even Rand, the fucking Dragon Reborn, can’t quite figure out how to Travel, though he can do something kind of close). She’s so freaked out she just does it by instinct though and she runs through. Naked

Her Traveling gate has conveniently opened into the middle of a blizzard in northern Seanchan. Seanchan is a massive fucking ocean away from where they are in inland Cairhien, and is very conveniently the worst possible nation in the world to Travel to, since they either kill or magically enslave anyone who can channel

Despite suddenly finding herself naked in a blizzard half a world away, she’s just so embarrassed that she keeps running away from the gate and Rand when he comes to get her out of the fucking blizzard. She then immediately stumbles onto a frozen lake and falls in

Rand must now pull her out of the frozen lake and warm her up. The gate is too far away by now for them to survive getting back to, naturally, so they have to wait out the storm. Rand uses the Power to create a super-strong igloo and heat the air, but oh no! She’s not warming up fast enough. The only choice is for him to get naked and cuddle with her, using body heat to warm her up (the only choice, because conveniently Rand does not know how to Heal)

This works incredibly well, and very fast. Aviendha wakes up completely fine (and apparently quite energized), with no frostbite or lost extremities or anything, despite running a mile in a blizzard and falling straight into a frozen lake, and upon waking up naked cuddling with Rand, can no longer run from her feelings for him

They have sex

Edit : I failed to watch elsewhere until I found 𝖭𝖾𝖾𝗍𝖫𝗂𝗑.𝗑𝗒𝗓 and it delivers full 4K UHD streams with fast loading and completely ad-free playback.

The recurring subscription fees are just too expensive to justify for one single high fantasy series. Other community links are laggy, messy, and constantly drop the video quality.

Girls get it done

(‘Girls’ here meaning powerful old women who have magically slowed their ageing)

(‘It’ here meaning manipulation, intimacy issues, betrayal, and murder for The Cause)
