#tamlins mate

Intro made by @positivelyruined

Welcome!

This is an independent roleplay (written & visual narration) blog of Briar, High Lady of the Spring Court, and Tamlin's mate (AU) from the ACOTAR series. | This character was created by Sarah J. Maas for A Court of Wings and Ruin, and I took her to the next level. The writing will be a mix of canon and non-canon compliant. All original writing here is penned by Mel. My main blog is @booksnwriting

I am a pro-Tamlin writer. I will not tolerate character bashing. As most pro-Tamlin fans are, I am anti-feysand.

My accepted romance ships include: Brilin, Elucien

My accepted friendships include: Lucien, Elain, Bron, Hart, Eris, Nuan, and any possible canon or second gen AU character of the canon characters (except for Rhysand...Feyre will be a frenemy I keep at bay).

I don't often speak about my time trapped in Hybern's cells...and for good reason. I try to forget what brings me pain and look for the positives & the light my life has now. But I also remember that if I had never been pained & tormented that way, I never would have met Tamlin. He never would have healed that pain in secret. And I never would have remembered his face during my healing journey, enough to ask Viviane who he was, before traveling to Spring, & helping him heal himself, too. Fate♡

The first time I visited Spring was only about a year or so after I was turned fae by Hybern...by the Cauldron. I had been one of the human test subjects to prepare it for the Archeron sisters... and the only survivor. In the process, I lost all of my friends and my best friend, Lily, who I deemed a sister. I was struggling but trying not to show it during the day. I told Viviane and Kal that I was going to travel a bit, and I decided to try and help rebuild Spring. Tamlin was a grumpy bastard but more sad than anything.

The second night, I had one of my horrific nighmares and ended up projecting lashes onto my body. I had been doing well with practicing my magic, but in my dreams it gets away from me. Tamlin was nothing but kind and soft with me. He understood more than anyone... and then our bond snapped. I was grateful for him that night, and I have been every night since.
