Chapter 6: Tricky Waters

Excerpt: “Wait... you didn’t elope?”   Shit. She couldn’t tell Shade everything. It would be a breach of contract. Contracts had been handed out like Halloween candy lately.   “I’m on my honeymoon!” she said way too cheerily.   “Mare, what is going on? Are you okay?”   “Don’t be stupid, Shade. Of course, I’m okay. How else would I be calling you? Can’t a woman talk to her family without turning it into an interrogation?”   “You’re calling me from an unfamiliar number and your phone... Gisa had your phone. And it had a million missed calls from Maven before that woman, Elara, took it from us. Sneeze twice if you’ve been taken against your will.”

Curious why you're split on who Guilty as Sin? would be about for Mare. Is it the aggressive guilt part, or just the context of the rest of the album? (Granted I've already grabbed it for Mareven and squirreled into the trash can where no one can find me so I may be slightly biased in asking this question)

The guiltily horny part for sure. I have a one-shot in my mind from when I first read the books that I'll never write because it would suck for Mareven and Marecal stans equally about Mare's repressed desires and guilt, both intertwining so tightly they become a sort of monster in the attic. You know?... Well, that didn't make any sense I'm sorry lol. But what I'm saying is, there was a time when I used to think a lot about what it would mean for Mare after the war, when she's no longer in survival mode and fighting external forces, to never deal with the fact that she once chose Maven over Cal, and then was forced to kill him and her love for him in one fell swoop. She consummates one urge but never the other.

Like when Tathève Simonyan wrote:

(...) a desire so raw you could still see the specks of blood gathering at seams. / a prayer … / a man on his knees in front of a woman, hands on her hips, holding the cathedral that was neither built nor can be destroyed / lips kissing the source of life / lips kissing the source of light / lips kissing / a prayer! – a body to crawl into! (to grow into?) / a prayer! – a dead language we refuse to let go of, / a language of the dead that we refuse to let go of. (...) Rage, that is love – rotten! / Rage, that is desire – rotten! / Rage! – like a prayer, unanswered, ricocheting from your ceiling and landing right onto your eyes, never quite reaching where it was meant to.

Hey Annie!! I love your works and have loved or forever hold your peace so far! So excited for the new chapter!! Idk if you could really answer this but I recently started a blog for the books that I love and want to share w others, and I was wondering if you had any tips on how to expand it..

I was also wondering if you could maybe take a look at my account and like offer tips, totally get it if you can’t just for personal reasons and I would t be offended

Thank you 💕 I love your page, it’s a comfort to look at on any day.

Thank you so much!! Whenever someone tells me I contribute even a little to brighten up their day it adds to my lifespan 😭 I wish I had good tips to offer about blogging but honestly I just ramble a lot, mainly about RQ, and sometimes about what I'm reading. So I guess my tip would be to post whatever unhinged thoughts you can't hold back while reading something, and eventually, some other crazy bookworms will agree with you. That's the beauty of reading communities. Also, tag accordingly so others can run into your posts (don't forget to use "anti" tags too). Basic stuff really 🤭

I wish you all the luck and good books ahead comrade 💕

Hi. I’m not sure if you listen to song recommendation but I think Jolene by Beyoncé would be a good song for Mare when she’s jealous. She’s definitely the type to warn someone to leave her man alone. 😂

Tyrant is an amazing song not MareCal related but still amazing. Such girlboss vibes!

Mare and Cal are both the jealous type, that's a fandom consensus for sure. I don't think Mare would directly address the person in question. The way I picture it (and the way I write it in my fics) is more straightforward, by having her grab Cal and suck face in front of the trespasser, or letting Cal deal with the person's attention because she trusts him. Then he has to shower her with praise and reassurance but just our girl being a greedy gf 🤭 .

or forever hold your peace 💐 - Chapter 5

Excerpt: She wasn’t one hundred percent sure he was watching her doing her routine, and she wouldn’t risk her ego by turning in his direction to check. But she had a feeling, a prickling sensation at the back of her neck as if they had attached an elastic rope to the other; it tensed when they were far, relaxed when they were near.   Just in case, she made sure to look extra good during warm-up. Like Scarlett Johansson in a workout montage by a male director. No funny or unattractive faces as she stretched.

EMPIRE NOW (Explicit)

Grinning up at him, I reach up to adjust the collar of his jacket. “Unfortunately, I did just finish training, and I need to clean up.” 

His brow quirks up the slightest bit, and the corner of his lip follows that moment only a half second later as he leans down and says, “And you think I don’t have a shower?”

Tracing my finger from the collar of that jacket down his chest until I reaches the bottom of his sternum, I glance up at him through my lashes. I can feel the barest flecks of sparks on the edge of my perception wanting to ground and kiss his skin at that point of contact. Belatedly I hope I don’t look like a dried rat on the shore of the river. Not that he doesn’t like river rat trash, I have to remind myself. “I don’t just want you in a shower.” I whisper to him, and have the immense pleasure of seeing his cheeks pale with a blush that quickly spreads to the tips of his ears and then down his neck. The grin I give him sends his eyes darting side to side. After a heartbeat, he threads his fingers through mine, taking that hand off his chest. 

“I think I can help you with that.”

I could fix him. I could make him worse. Good for you. I could gently take the weapon out of his shaking, blood-soaked hand and hold him until he finally believes that he doesn't have to be defined by all the ways the world has hurt him. Then we could ruin the lives of everyone who has ever treated him like he's a monster who doesn't deserve love.

Hii, I just wondered if you could do a random eristan fanfic, thank you!!

🤔 I guess I could if I had an idea or read a really good prompt. Or saw an interesting Pinterest picture. You have no idea how many of mi fics came to be like that. I really love Eristan but there's not really much of an audience for them

[king-maven-calore]

Hey, I saw one of your posts where you said you don't take requests on fanfiction, but I wonder if you know anybody who does, because I have a pretty good idea, I think. But I'm not good at writing myself. So it would be great if you knew anyone who takes requests. Thanks<33

Sadly I have no idea anon! Posting this to see if one of my followers takes on the request 🙌🏽

Chapter 4: Marriage by capture

Excerpt: Mare instinctively shielded her face against Cal’s shoulder.   Once the flashes stopped Mare chanced a look.    There were two photographers, one taking pictures and another one recording.    “Thanks, guys. But Mare and I are tired.”   “Of course,” the bald guy with three types of professional cameras hanging from his neck acquiesced. “Your mother was very insistent on getting the shot of the newlyweds walking into the lobby. Any chance we get a few tastefully intimate ones of you going into the Royal suite? No?” He held his palms up, placating whatever Cal had conveyed silently with a face. “Just asking.”

Hii! I wonder if you could do a fanfic with dom and sorasa before they date or get together yk. And they are like at sorasa's apartment and they have a really heated argument about something (maybe that an attractive woman tried to hit on dom and sorasa yelled at her and shit) and then dom asks why she can't leave him and his love life alone. So sorasa goes like "idgaf/i don't care abt you and your love life" and he says something like "really. because it doesn't look like it, you dirty shit" or something, and then she goes like "do you ever shut up you piece fo shit" and then when he's abt to answer with something extremely witty, she goes and kisses him really hard. (You could change the names they call each other, and add things they say to each other too, but my idea was just that they have a really heated argument after a woman hitted on dom.) Thank you<33

Hey buddy, I don't take requests :) And, just in case, I stopped shipping Dom and Sorasa after the second book. You should totally write your idea though! I'm sure some others will be thrilled to read it.

What did you think of Erida and Taristan's ending in Fate Breaker?

⚠️FB SPOILER (I guess?)⚠️

I read a line on tiktok that spoiled their ending for me when I was 75% done with the book over a month ago so I stopped reading. I mean, there are not many ways to misinterpret what I read but I could be wrong and maybe they live at the end 🥴. But the chances are veery low, and I only tried to read FB because of Eristan so I'm not taking my chances. I literally do not care about any other character... fine, maybe I care about Corayne and Sorasa, but their romantic storylines get on my fucking nerves, canceling out my interest.

I did think Erida's "My mind is my own" parallel with RB was absolutely brilliant and it left me in a state of literary anguish, clutching my eReader in pain. If you care. Another thing I liked is how Taristan's love for Erida grew and solidified, how fiercely he cared for her, even choosing her over What Waits, and being so unwilling to sacrifice any part of her to the god. But still remaining steadfast to her after she does. (again, at least to the point I read, and to my interpretation.) Like, how are they SO DAMN GOOD, such an elite ship, so narratively rich... stuck in a YA snoozefest 😭. They're so hot and for what?

In my mind, they escape through a spindle that throws them into an alternate world where they lose their memories but fate/soulmatism pulls them together again, except this time they get their happy ending. Oh and they're in a NA or adult book so they can do unspeakable things to each other.

“I wasn’t always this way, was I? You remember better than I do. When I was a boy, your little brother. Always trailing at your heels, eager to spend every moment I could with you. I used to ask to sleep in your room, didn’t I?”

Cal narrows his eyes. “You were afraid of the dark.”

“And then I wasn’t. Just like that.”

Chapter 3: The old ball and chain

Excerpt: “I see you decided to follow the outfit agenda as planned,” he said coldly because the best defense was an offense.   “I figured I might get probation if I comply with the prison’s dress code.” She extended her bony wrists forward, the vulnerable inner sides facing upward as in surrender, yet her gaze was fierce. “Did you bring the manacles too?”
