Gwynriel - 600 words - Fluff

***

“I can’t do this,” Gwyn complained.

This was too painful. Why did nobody ever warn her that it would be this hard?

“Yes, you can,” Azriel protested even as she felt the onslaught of emotions that flowed from his side of the bond.

“I can’t.” She closed her eyes and shook her head. “It’s breaking my heart.”

Gwyn squeezed his hand with both of hers. She pursed her lips tightly, trying her hardest to keep the tears that were pooling in her eyes from falling with a few rapid blinks.

She had attempted to be strong until now. She had swallowed her emotions and pretended like this was not affecting her as much. But it was. And she could no longer deny it even if she tried. So she placed her heavy heart in her mate’s loving hands and let him reassure her instead.

“I’m here with you, my love,” he said, looking down at her with an encouraging smile. “We’ll get through this together.”

He swiped away the single tear that rolled down her cheek, kissed her on the forehead and let her lean her head on his shoulder as they looked at the two little figures with their hands intertwined as they entered the small building with the other children.

Gwyn released a heavy sigh. “They grow up too fast.”

“Do you think they will miss us?”

As if in answer to his question, their daughter turned around right before she could step inside. Their son followed his twin’s line of sight and also turned to look at their parents. While their daughter wore her usual beaming smile, their son seemed less thrilled about his first day at school. The concern in his brown eyes felt like a knife twisting deeper inside Gwyn.

She blew them both a kiss that floated on the wind. It caused a little smile to tug at their son’s lips and made their daughter giggle. Both of them waved a final time at their parents before they followed their new friends inside.

As soon as they disappeared from sight, Gwyn buried her face in the crook of her mate’s neck and cried. Azriel rubbed her back and murmured soothing words to her as he rested his head on top of hers.

Their babies were growing. And she feared that the day when they would no longer need their parents would come in the blink of an eye. If only she could turn back time and relive the moment when Azriel and her had held them in their arms for the first time.

“Do you want to fake an emergency so that we can get them home early today?” she proposed once she managed to stop her crying for long enough to speak.

She wanted to hold her babies as close as possible, bask in their warmth and innocence for as long as she could. She wanted their loud laughs to wrap around her while they complain that she was crushing them with her too tight hug.

Azriel’s chuckle was accompanied by a tug on the bond that tethered their hearts to each other. Gwyn knew that she would not be the only one who would need comfort as soon as they would be alone. He kept holding her as they started walking towards the street, past all of the other teary-eyed parents who had also been watching their children go.

“Come on Valkyrie. Let’s go home and cry some more.”

“You didn’t answer my question,” she pointed out with a sniffle.

Azriel smirked. “We’ll see.”

Gwyn : What do we get if we finish the course?

Azriel : “Since there’s no chance in hell any of you will finish the course, we didn’t bother to get a prize.”

Gwyn : “We look forward to proving you wrong”

[sunnybyler]

is it controversial for me to say that i think i’d be disappointed if gwynriel was announced as the next book as someone who very much ships them? because like, don’t get me wrong. i’m sure i’ll eat their book up when it’s time. but i just…. feel like it’s not time yet. i feel like az still needs to grow a lot and gwyn was JUST introduced last book. i mean, quite frankly, the ship itself wasn’t even hinted at until the bonus chapter. i think we need some more building for both of them. also full transparency elucien is one of my favorite ships of all time so i might be biased in that sense. but we’ve been waiting on them for EIGHT YEARS. now i’m grateful to not have been in the fandom that long bc i’m decently new and i’m already clawing at the walls so i cant even imagine y’all who have. but the buildup for elucien has just been SOOO many years in the making now. esp when books are coming out so slow?? i just don’t think i can stomach waiting another 4 years for them when they’ve already been mated since acomaf. like i genuinely think having to sit through ANOTHER painfully awkward solstice would make me end up on national news

"Elain and Azriel will have a forbidden romance"

Who will they hide their romance from?

"Their closest friends and family"

Ya'll do realize that what set up the "forbidden romance" was the bonus chapter, right? The one that doesn't matter since cAsUaL rEaDeRs haven't read it..🤪

Curious, so very curious

summary: azriel and gwyn. so many almosts

Azriel couldn’t sense her. He could sense everyone. It wasn’t until her intoxicating scent infiltrated his nose did he know she was coming.

Her steps were silent.

“Shadowsinger.”

Azriel didn’t look at her, instead he just pointed at the mat. “You wanted to go over hand-to-hand combat?” He smirked as he turned to face her, just the slightest twitch of his lip, knowing it would infuriate her. “Get on the mat.”

“Someone’s in a mood today” Gwyn laughed at him while she took off her priestess robe.

His gaze snagged on the silk as it slid down her shoulder, her bare skin covered in tiny freckles. He wanted his mouth on every single one. The image intruded his thoughts before he was able to regain control of his mind. “Get on the mat.” He repeated, bored, uninterested in her antics even as his eyes glinted with challenge.

Gwyn just laughed again and walked to the training ring curling her hands into fists and getting into her stance.

They circled around each other, each daring the other to make the first move. Like hell was he gonna give in first.

He watched the shift in her hips and knew she was about to go on the offensive. Gwyn faked right, and went straight for his weaker side. Azriel sidestepped her avoiding her advances as she continued to push him back.

Gwyn’s eyes narrowed with determination, “do not take it easy on me.”

His lips twitched, “wouldn’t dream of it Berdara.” He studied her body language, he knew what she was about to do next, knew that he taught her that move himself. Just as she stepped forward, throwing her body weight into the punch, he twisted around her. The change in direction threw her off balance and she began to fall forward. Face first into the mat.

‘

His arm caught her waist before she could fall. Gwyn was breathless as she looked up at him. Her teal eyes wide with bewilderment. Azriel was entranced. 500 years of self control beaten into his body and yet he couldn’t look away, what was worse was that he didn’t want to look away. Her hand drifted toward him, caught in the same spell. She lightly brushed his cheek and he leaned into the touch, suppressing a shudder at the feel of her. His body felt heavy and light all at once.

“Shadowsinger.” She whispered.

“Priestess.” He whispered back. “How are you so beautiful?”

A high pitch scream stopped Gwyn from answering. Immediately Azriel pulled her to him and brought them both to the ground while his shadows shielded them into darkness.

“What are you doing-” She glared at him as he pressed a finger to her mouth, outraged that he would silence her but he only pointed to the direction of the scream. Two spring court members, chatting softly, a dead faerie between them.

“Don’t ever shush me again.” Gwyn quietly berated him, hitting him on the shoulder.

“Okay next time I’ll let you get us caught,” he answered furiously. “Is that what you want?”

“Yes my hero.” She rolled her eyes. “Get off of me so I can go after them.” She tried to push him off her but his weight had her pinned to the ground. Gwyn tried to shove him over but only succeeded in pressing her self harder against him. He watched as she bit her lip.

“You want me to get up?” He asked, ever so innocently drawing circles with his fingers against her pulse.

“Yes.” Gwyn tried to say but he could hear her voice shake, hear the breathlessness.

“Alright.” He challenge and began to move his body off of her. Azriel felt as she grabbed the collar of his shirt to keep him there, to keep him with her. He smirked in victory.

“I hate that smirk.” Gwyn muttered to herself.

“No you don’t.” He taunted her, unable to help himself.

“Shut up.” Her nose scrunched in anger. The teal of her eyes a storm that he wanted only ever directed towards him. Gwyn stared him down with newfound determination, as if he was a puzzle she wanted to solve, to break.

“What do you want Berdara?” He asked her.

Her hands still gripped his shirt and his eyes glazed over as she glanced towards his lips.

“What do you want Berdara?” He asked her again through gritted teeth, the feel of her underneath him almost too much to bare.

Gwyn smiled as if she had found the answer. “Kiss me.”

FRIENDSHIPS OF THE MOMENT

[lorcandidlucienwill]

Gwyn and Lucien speaking of their trauma

Gwyn: “I told him the children had taken the mountain road to get help. He didn’t believe me. So he grabbed Catrin, because our scents were nearly identical, you see, and told me that if I didn’t reveal where the children were, he’d kill her. And when I didn’t give the children up …” Her mouth shook. “He beheaded Catrin right there, along with two other priestesses. And then he told his soldiers to go to work on us. He claimed me. I spat in his face.” Tears slid down her cheeks. “And then he … went to work. I hadn’t yet participated in the Great Rite, and we were so remote up there that I never had the chance to lie with a male, and he took that from me, too. And then he called over three of his soldiers and told them to keep going until I revealed where the children had gone.” Lucien: “I was forced to watch as my father butchered the female I loved. My brothers forced me to watch. There was no magic spell, no miracle to bring her back. There were no gathered High Lords to resurrect her. I watched, and she died, and I will never forget that moment when I heard her heart stop beating.”

“No. When Calanmai came along, he refused. He flat-out refused to participate. I replaced him in the Rite, but …" But Lucien … “You took Ianthe into that cave on Calanmai?” "She insisted. Tamlin was … Things were bad, Feyre. I went in his stead, and I did my duty to the court. I went of my own free will. And we completed the Rite. Please don’t tell Elain,” he said. “When we—when we find her again." He might have completed the Great Rite with Ianthe of his own free will, but he certainly hadn’t enjoyed it. Some line had been blurred—badly.

MAKE THEM BESTIES NOW SARAH

[arcturustarlight]

E/riels brag about how Azriel gave Elain Truth-teller as if she takes it everywhere with herself, polish and sharpen the blade daily and hugs it while she sleeps.

Y'all know she gave it back, right?

Just like she returned the necklace as well.

Also, the anons have been reeeeeal fucking weird the last couple of days so I turned it off. Discourse is one thing, that’s not even that bad I’m just not into it, but these anons were actively trying to provoke. It was mainly about Gwyn and Gwynriel, maybe like two about Elucien, and usually I just delete it, but the absolute hateful things people are saying about Gwyn? I thought it was slightly exaggerated but holy shit it’s not. The way a female character who is super inspiring to SA victims, like MYSELF, is hated on is just disgusting.

Anyway, my favorite thing about Gwyn isn’t that she’s a badass Valkyrie. Its not her being a good strategist or being pretty fucking smart and observant of the people around her. Its not her being a total babe. It’s not that her and Azriel are possibly mates.

It’s that she experienced unimaginable horror and she still decided to meet Nesta and go to training to become a stronger version of herself. It’s that she started singing again after months of laying in bed listlessly. I don’t think people realize how hard it is to get out of bed after loss and the total violation of your body. It’s that she welcomed Nesta and Emerie into her life eagerly despite the guilt she felt over losing her sister. It’s that she’s able to smile and tease her friends and her friends absolutely adore her, yes, they do (I thought every one HATED me after my SA) after all of the self hate and guilt I’m sure she had to overcome.

I just find all the hate directed at her really disheartening.

“Shes not going to leave the library again.” She got out of bed after that, anon, she’s capable to do whatever the fuck she wants.

[areyoudreaminof]

Working on a little Mother’s Day treat because I love MILFS. I also love kids who say out of pocket shit.

“Aunt Gwyn, are you gonna have a baby?” Oriana asked.

Aunt Gwyn laughed, her pretty blue eyes sparkling, “Maybe one day.”

“Well, could you have one now so I have someone to play with? Nyx went to the camps and Cricket and Froggy are at the Day Court. So, I want a baby cousin to play with.’ Oriana clasped her hands together tight and bounced on her feet. “Please.”

“Don’t you have friends at school and your art class?” Aunt Gwyn giggled.

“Yes, I got lots of friends but I want another cousin.” Oriana thought for a moment. “A girl or a boy. Just a cousin who's fun.”

“Well, when Uncle Az and I have a baby you’ll be the first cousin to know.”

“You’re having a baby?” Mama asked as she walked into the room.

“Yeah, Aunt Gwyn’s gonna have a baby so I can have another cousin,” Oriana announced, “But not right now.”

Mama and Aunt Gwyn just started laughing.

gwyneth berdara - lacy by olivia rodrigo

Nesta was leafing through a tome of military history in the library—that had one paragraph on Valkyrie ambush strategies—when Gwyn appeared. “Tell me you found their secret to cutting the ribbon.” “You and that ribbon,” Nesta muttered, shutting the tome. Of all of them, Gwyn had become the most relentless about succeeding. - ch 51 acosf

Gwyn lifted trembling fingers to her brow, touching the ribbon with which Nesta had crowned her. Nesta’s voice was thick as she declared, “Valkyrie.” - ch 60 acosf
