Starborn, Fireheart & Lady Death - CC, TOG & ACOTAR

And people (like me) had been saying for two years prior to HoSaB that Ruhn was the dark horse and that his scenes would hit different.

That’s happening again.

“Because I looked up his profile on Spark.”

“The dating site?”

A [re: Crescent City] modern spin on Gwyn and Azriel and the Spark that exists between them—this time online! Who knew love could be found on a mobile app in the middle of the afternoon?

@gwynrieldefenseatty and I did a reread and found this quote and knew immediately we had to rope in the amazingly talented (and equally as obsessed with Gwyn as we are) @windbyfire to turn this into a reality! Just know that Azriel definitely picked Gwyn up on his motorcycle, they drove off into the sunset, and lived happily ever after!

(Featuring Gwynriel’s three biggest shippers!)

"I'm getting real bored with you giving me orders and forbidding me to do things."

"I'm sorry if your fragile ego can't handle that I know what I'm fucking doing."

"Nothing going on upstairs, but everything happening where it counts."

"You were bitching this morning that I wasn't doing anything of value. And now that I am doing something, you're bitching about it, too? Get your shit together, Athalar."

"There's nothing wrong with being a party girl. I don't get why the world thinks there is. It's easier for me - when people assume the worst about what I am. It lets me see who they really are."

"No one likes a condescending asshole, Athalar."

"Hang with me, Athalar, and you might get rid of that stick up your ass after all."

"Fuck off."

"Hunt has learned his lesson about pissing me off."

"No one likes a narc, Athalar."

"I don't need a male telling me when to eat."

"Because I was trying to convince it not to kick you in the face, asshole."

"You're a fucking traitor, Athalar."

"I don't remember giving you permission to shove your nose into my business."

"I never realized it. That you and I are mirrors."

"You're a fucking idiot."

"Asshole."

"I'm no property of yours -"

"Go fuck yourself. Go fuck yourself, Ruhn."

Aelin's back tattoo at the end of the series was inked by Rowan, who added Wyrdmarks into the design. Those Wyrdmarks were then used to help guide Aelin home when she was world-walking.

Bryce's back tattoo was placed there by Danika and turned out to be the Horn, which was used by Bryce to world-walk.

The Umbra Mortis, one of the most feared, strong and respected warriors in Midgard, plagued with self loathing and shame for the things he’s been forced to do. A scarred man, a slave, his heart hurting for what he’s had to do to survive. A big powerful Angel reduced to nothing because of his own thought of himself.

Bryce, the “party girl” who cared for nothing, being the only one who saw Hunt and all his ugly bits, but still chose to care for him in this dark moment. She didn’t run away from him.

He opened up, and she caught it all for him. He became his most vulnerable self ever, and she took this and cared for it, cherished it, protected it. She was kind, gentle and nurturing. She caressed all his hard edges and saw him for who he really was and held his hand through all of it.

This is what Sarah does best, these kind of raw scenes and healing arcs.
