They need to hurry up and do New Spring while they still have her on the payroll.

new spring

[leo-in-the-clouds]

So, I finished a New Spring like a week ago and am just like... how can anybody not see that Moiraine and Siuan are more than friends?? I literally marked some sentences where I was like bffr this shit is so gay....

Suianraine moments in New Spring:

(disclaimer: I'm too lazy to properly quote, but the quotes are in order of appearance in the book, also spoiler for New Spring obvi (also starting at 0. cause I'm too stupid to count...))

0. "Out of the corner of her eye, Moiraine saw Siuan smiling at her. That smile turned Siuan’s face from handsome to pretty and made her clear blue eyes twinkle."

-> so that could still be platonic, but no...

1. “I should have expected to find you two together,” she said coolly. There never seemed to be any heat in her. “I can’t understand why you don’t just move into the same room. [...]"

-> everyone is saying that they're always together and noving/acting in "Lockstep", only one of many examples, like she's literally telling them to move in with each other cause they're always together anyways...

2. "[...] Do you want me to come with you, Moiraine?” Moiraine wanted nothing more.

-> (thinking of the "Do you want to stay for dinner?" "Do you want to stay forever?" Meme)

3. "Last night, revealing her woes had seemed out of place, a trifle compared to what they knew the world faced, but Moiraine had no hesitation in telling her now. Before she finished, Siuan enveloped her in a strong, comforting hug. They had wept on each other’s shoulders much more often than either had availed herself of Merean’s. She had never been as close to anyone as she was to Siuan. Or loved anyone as much."

-> I don't have anything to add. She said it herself

4. once the pair of them were naked and she was opening the jar, all the gasping over their welts and bruises finished.

[...]

Only Verin’s vile-tasting concoction let them sleep, huddled beneath the blankets in Moiraine’s narrow bed, and it was the grim reminder of that jar sitting on the mantel that warred with sleep as much as their welts and bruises.

-> they might be injured, but they're also naked and sharing a bed (which previoisly was described as even more narrow than Siuans, meaning they're even closer together)

5. Moiraine leaped to her feet, and laughing, they danced hand in hand for joy. She ached to ask what had happened in Siuan’s test. That furious blush—from Siuan!—begged intriguing questions, but…. To be shared in silence, and only then with the women who had shared it with you. How long since they two had failed to share everything? Even here, the shawl brought separations

-> that's kinda sad actually, but also mentions them sharing everything again

6. perhaps they had never expected the two of them to march this far in complete lockstep

-> they are literally swearing their oaths together....

7. they answered together. Breach of the proprieties or not, they intended to do everything together this morning insofar as possible.

-> as seen above...

8. Hand in hand, they entered. Together.

-> ....

9. she went in search of Moiraine rather than dinner, to let her know she would be searching by herself. The sight of Moiraine always made her smile. Cetalia had been wrong in one particular. She was not a pretty little porcelain doll; she was a beautiful little porcelain doll.

-> same as 0. tbh.

10. Siuan could have kissed her. In fact, she did.

-> Do I need to say more???

11. There was no point in waiting, so Moiraine changed into a riding dress, with Siuan’s help to make the changing faster.

-> I have not once helped my friends change their clothes.... ("faster" sure honey, whatever you say)

12. "Except for her pillow-friend Siuan. Of course, pillow-friends frequently get into tangles together, but with those two, one was never sent to me without the other. The last time the very night after passing for the shawl.”

-> what she says basically

13. Moiraine reminded her of their pledge during their first months in the Tower, that what one owned belonged to the other as well,[...]

-> like fr, thats basically what a marriage is supposed to be (*cough* Mandalorian Marriage Vows (mhi me'dinui an)*cough*)

14. Siuan settled cross-legged on the bed, yet she all but bounced. [...] They were going to be sharing that bed, and Siuan knew exactly which ticklish spots could reduce her to helpless laughter and pleading.

-> i know it's meant in the context of pleading to stop the tickling, but it definitely can be interpreted another way...

15. Doing up Siuan’s buttons in turn, she tried distracting the other woman by telling her how much the cut of her dress molded her hips and bosom. Well, for a little more than distraction. Siuan deserved a bit of snippiness back. “It does attract men’s eyes,” Siuan replied. And giggled! She even gave her hips a twitch! Moiraine thought she might spend the whole day sighing.

-> yeah....

Not included: all the hugging (literally all the time) and mentions of previous bed sharing

ARE WE GETTING A BESTIES OF TIME FLASHBACK IN SEASON 2?!?! These comments are killing me!!!

[pillowfriends]

"He had to get that odd little woman [Moiraine] out of his head, although she seemed to have lodged herself inside his skull, somehow."

I have never related to Lan more. reblog if that odd little woman lodged herself inside your skull

[faircastle]

favorite moiraine is internally spoiled, prissy princess moiraine. like, she doesn't complain out loud (partly bc that would be rude and unbecoming) but damn if she doesn't think that the people are behaving like commoners and that the white tower chambers are cold and all the time her modesty gets compromised she bought herself a horse to celebrate graduation and siuan wouldn't let her get her a horse too 🙄 not to mention that she couldn't bear to wear only white clothes for a DAY longer than necessary

no matter what else she can do, she'll also always be a rich girl who is outraged that other noblewomen are acting beneath their station 🧐

Rand: “You don’t have rats?”

Gawyn: “Elaida doesn’t like rats.”

*Me after reading New Spring*:

[thenotoriousscuttlecliff]

New Spring is just a Moiraine/Siuan fic that occasionally remembers it is supposed to be a Wheel of Time prequel.

[rivertrashfishwife]

[wibblyrlin]

Moiraine laughed and hugged Siuan. She could not help it. She truly had come home. They had come home.

—New Spring, Robert Jordan

[nervouspearl]

His emotions were a small knot in the back of her head, all steely hard determination. She knew the muted pain of old injuries, tamped down and ignored.

Am I dreaming

Also, the petition to express your love for that idea is still here

[lavendelhummel]

Because I haven’t screamed about it here yet:

SIUAN MUST HAVE KNOWN IT WAS MOIRAINE BEFORE WE DID BECAUSE OF THE *TINGLES*!!!

‘It’ being saving her from that collapsing building of course!

Also did you see how they looked at each other for those few seconds? Did you see the look in Moiraine’s eyes?? Did you see it?!!!

*Tingles tingles tingles*
