The Wheel does not care if you are young or afraid, petty or weak. It certainly doesn’t care what you want. The Wheel calls you to this. Whether you can bear it or not.
Rewatching 2x07 and the way that Siuan is showing vulnerability and basically telling Moiraine how much she hates the tower and just wants to leave it with Moiraine. Then after Moiraine says they'll retire, SIUAN'S FACE when she says "Really?" just kills me.
And then 2 minutes later when that future gets ripped away from them, it's SIUAN that stays in the tower to do the politics and not Moiraine (the political heir from the 'most political city in the world'). Like she's protecting Moiraine from ever having to go back to that life, even if it means she has to give up basically her entire life to do the EXACT opposite of what she so deeply wants.
That's the kind of sacrifice that you only do for someone you love so completely that you would do anything to protect them.
I just want them to have a happy ending in the show please 😭 I can't take how tragic it is otherwise.
Okay but listen. If moiraine and siuan have a huge-in-public hate for each other. And moiraine and siuan in the flashback were SO adorable and open and affectionate (and not bound by any bans on relationships)
Does that mean they had to stage a dramatic breakup and public falling out??!!!!!
If I am a Show Only viewer of WOT who wants to read New Spring because I’m obsessed with the Moiraine/Siuan/Lan backstory, can I read that without 1. Knowing what happens in the main series, and 2. Spoiling key upcoming plot points that are likely to appear in the show?
My partner has read (most of) the series but he hasn’t read New Spring so can’t answer this for me 😭
Tagging this heavily to try and find the right audience to answer. TIA!
I‘ve been gone for such a long time but I‘m back with Chapter 6, packed with feels and smut as an apology
Little teaser:
“I thought you wanted to finish your reading?” Siuan quipped with a knowing smirk. Moiraine simply shook her head. “The book can wait. This...,” she gestured broadly to the bath tub and Siuan, “... cannot.” Stepping further into the room, her fiancée’s eyes were fixating hers, intoxicating her with their enticing intensity the longer she looked into them. “Oh I see,” Siuan’s smirk widened, and in any public place, it would have been considered as incredibly lewd to exchange such glances.
I went with Siuan ❤️ I think this one is better, and it took me less time than Moiraine - who I think now I'm going to go back to and try and get better.
Even tho Siuan does not make an appearance in the first chapter of this fic, I need to know what type of nickname she would give the twins. And yes it has to be fish related but I don't know anything as cute as Pufferfish 😭😭😭.
