@gwynweekofficial Day Two / Day Three — Songbird / Tethers

A mating bond is oftentimes described as a song between souls that only the pair can decipher/hear—for two singers, I find that to be so very profound to their very core. Music between souls, but music as expression and art that is shared between them. Gwyn and Azriel are incredibly alike, even down to similar hobbies and mannerisms.

For this scene, Gwyn is in the arms of her fated mate, relishing in his embrace and satiated in the closenesses of their bodies, and singing to both Azriel and his curious shadows. A scene of peace and calm somewhere into the future, upon their bond being accepted and their relationship taking flight.

@mysleepyblue You are such a joy to work with and I adore our brainstorming sessions! You captured these two and what we all love about them so beautifully. I cannot wait for us to collab again!

@gwynweekofficial Day 1 - Phoenix - The Spirit of a Warrior

Hello people 🙋 I haven't written in so long and I'm afraid that i forgot how to. Anyway here's a ficlet...

Synopsis: Cassian stumbles across Gwyn still practicing archery after training hours. A few words exchanged with her make him realise that even stubborn Valkyries sometimes need a little uplifting.

Word count: 627

Read on Ao3 or below the cut

 

Cassian watched Gwyn release her fifth arrow of the last two minutes he’d been watching her towards the dummy. If he had to count them all, he would say each of the other dummies already had at least ten arrows in them.

This one embedded itself on the right side of what was supposed to be the dummy’s face, cutting the angry frown that Deirdre had sloppily painted there.

“So we can look the enemy in the eyes when we defeat them,” the Valkyrie had answered when Cassian had asked why she was giving eyes and lips to their training dummies.

“Don’t you have somewhere else to be right now, Priestess?” Cassian asked, strolling towards Gwyn in the middle of the ring.

Gwyn released her sixth arrow with a barely perceptible exhale, this one hitting the centre of the dummy’s neck. A gust of wind blew the loose strands of her copper hair in her face but she didn’t seem to care as she lowered her bow and fixedly stared at the dummy from the distance.

For a moment, Cassian just looked at her; this phoenix who had risen from her ashes, braver and determined to grow stronger each day.

Anything could be going through that head of hers, but Cassian didn’t give himself the chance to guess.

He clapped his hands loudly beside Gwyn, breaking her concentration and making her turn to him.

“Training ended half an hour ago.”

“So?” Gwyn dead-panned.

Cassian crossed his arms in front of him.

“So how long are you going to stay out here in the freezing wind?”

Gwyn looked at the dummy again before replying, “Until I can hit a target with my eyes closed.”

Cassian snorted.

“Even I can’t do that.”

Gwyn nonchalantly shrugged with a lift of her chin.

“I guess that’ll be one more thing I’m better than you at then.”

This made Cassian full on laugh.

“Oh you wish, Gwynnie.”

Cassian took the bow from her hands, followed by an arrow from the quiver at her back. Three seconds were all it took for him to take her place behind the white line on the ground and fire the arrow that landed in the dead centre of the dummy’s chest, a few inches next to one of hers.

Gwyn sighed beside him.

“What if I miss my mark on the mission?” she asked as she looked at her feet.

Ah! Cassian recalled the single shot that Gwyn had missed earlier at training and suddenly understood.

Unfortunately for her, he didn’t know what pretty words to use in this very moment to reassure her and remove the doubts that clouded her usually bright face. But he could offer her the blunt truth.

“Then you try again,” he said, handing her the bow. “If you don’t want to die, you don’t give up and you give it your best. Like all warriors do. That is what you are after all, both in name and spirit. A Valkyrie.”

Gwyn grabbed the other end of the bow and looked at him.

“You really trust me enough to send me on the field?”

Cassian smiled and offered her another truth.

“We all do. Now you need to trust yourself.”

She nodded timidly with a hint of a smile.

“Your hardheadedness alone could kill a male, now think of the damage you could do with your impressive skills.”

The exaggerated roll of her eyes pulled another laugh out of Cassian.

“You won’t laugh as much when I best you,” Gwyn claimed.

Cassian rose a brow at her with a smirk.

“Is that a challenge, Valkyrie?”

Gwyn took an arrow from her quiver, turned it a few times between her fingers before handing it to him.

“Are you up for it, General?”

@gwynweekofficial Day Two — Songbird

“Gwyn sang, chin high, a faint glow seeming to radiate from her.

[…]

Gwyn’s voice soared like a bird through the cavern as she started the third song with a solo, and Nesta closed her eyes, leaning into the music, shutting out one sense in order to luxuriate in the sound of her friend. Something beckoned in Gwyn’s song, in a way the others’ hadn’t. Like Gwyn was calling only to her, her voice full of sunshine and joy and unshakable determination. Nesta had never heard a voice like Gwyn’s—by turns trained and wild, as if there was so much sound fighting to break free of Gwyn that she couldn’t quite contain it all. As if the sound needed to be loose in the world.“

— A Court of Silver Flames, Chapter Fifty-Two

I have always been so intrigued by Gwyn’s voice and what ties it could have to her power; a voice so powerful she became a conduit for Nesta to scry for the Harp, the object that can stop time itself. We have seen hands that paint, feet that dance, and now a voice that sings.

It would be so interesting to see if Gwyn truly is a Lightsinger, but different from what Prythian is currently aware of. Something pure, and something good. A compliment to the darkness.

My second entry for @gwynweekofficial

I think Gwyn cutting the Ribbon is such a phoenix moment , the moment she rises and becomes a Valkyrie and the moment that marks the rebirth of the Valkyries.

Given it's Az who helps her with cutting that Ribbon it was only fair he is part of the scene.

Gwyn’s journey in ACOSF by SJM beautifully captures the spirit of a warrior. With every step she takes to train and grow stronger, she embodies courage and resilience, pushing through her fears and honoring her sister’s memory.

Our hope for Gwyn is that one day she feels the presence of her sister watching over her, guiding her in spirit. That she may come to realize that Catrin’s spirit was not just a memory to honor but an integral part of her own being, a source of strength and inspiration that will always be with her, cheering her on as she embraces her destiny as the first reborn Valkyrie.

When we approached our dear sweet friend/ @majuandrad with this idea, our goal was to capture Catrin’s spirit living on through Gwyn. We cannot thank her enough for bringing this beautiful concept to life. We wanted to convey Gwyn experiencing that comforting sensation of her sister’s spirit right there by her side, proud of the person she has become and @lulufoxlainfawn and I are absolutely in love with it and so excited to finally share it with you all, we cant thank Maju enough.

Here I have an amazing Gwyn ready for a fight. I always pictured her going for twin daggers 🗡️ especially being trained at using them by some of the best warriors in Prythian 🦇

Thank you so much for this gorgeous piece @skr3m_art it’s absolutely stunning.
