I love Freya!

I LOVE HER AND I SCREAMED WHEN I SAW HER GETTING ALL CUTE AND NERVOUS AND SAD WHEN KEELIN WAS GOING TO LEAVE BUT THEN SHE CAME BACK.

Emma:  Never giving up your belief in fairy-tales.  Smoke drifting through the air late at night. Running to escape your past, and finding your future.

Emma! So glad you asked! (Seriously I’m fangirling over them so much rn asdfasdf.) I’m going to post this publicly for anyone else who’s interested ;)

SO, elriel is a ship from one my favorite YA fantasy book series of all time: A Court of Thorns and Roses by Sarah J Maas. The story basically starts with a human girl, Feyre Archeron (aka my badass lil’ bby queen), discovering more about the faerie realms above the wall that separates them from the human world. Long story short, she meets some assholes (aka the dude everyone in the fandom calls The Tool), thwarts some evil magic ppl and their plans for world domination, and meets the most fabulous faeire/fae High Lord in all the universe, Rhysand (aka my entire reason for being).

The ship elriel actually involves two of the side characters in the books, though: Elain, one of Feyre’s older sisters who gets pulled into the fae world after some of the evil magic ppl want to use her against Feyre, and Azriel, one of Rhysand’s bffs and a winged warrior with special shadow powers and a Tragic Backstory™. Elain is a sweet gentle little flower child and Azriel is the strong silent but polite type so I think they mesh really well together. (They’re frickin’ adorable ok, I just ugh, I love them so much).

I didn’t really ship them until the third book however, where we see Azriel being very sweet to Elain after the trauma she suffered earlier on. There are also a lot of beautiful moments between the two of them; he runs to her rescue at one point, and at another he gives her his legendary sword in the middle of a battle (which sounds weird out of context but it was just SO GOOD). The fandom is divided on them though, because Elain also has another love interest, Lucien (aka everyone’s favorite ginger). The book ends with her relationship status being rather ambiguous but I got the feeling that the author was leaning towards Elain and Azriel eventually getting together… but that might be my shipper heart seeing things the way I wanted to see them. (I really hope not though. Really, really hope not. I just want my children to be happy and in love.)

Light-to-Dark Series: Calliope, the Muse of epic poetry and eloquence

She hands them crowns and pens filled with black ink. She tells them to write their story, wear the crown, be a God. Honor, respect, power— in other words, validation. People yearn for validation and she’ll give it. But at a cost, of course. She takes their names and their victories and triumphs are written in the skies. Their name is known: Calliope.
