Hi there! Just found your blog and you seem super nice! I was wondering if you'd be up for doing a we hunt the flame moodboard? Always happy to find people in the fandom, no worries if you dont want to though 🌸😊
Headcanons about what the Zumra gets up to after ‘We Free the Stars’ because I miss them
Spoilers for the books ahead
Zafira and Nasir are being badass Caliphs of Sarasin but of course find time for themselves. This includes climbing across the rooftops of Sarasin, as well as the ice cream date Nasir said he wanted to do.
They also do combat training together. Nasir set up an an archery range for Zafira and she helps him improve his technique. In turn, Nasir helps Zafira with sword-fighting and this results in a rematch of their sparring session on Sharr (this may or may not end up with Zafira on top of Nasir again and may or may involve a kiss or two).
Meanwhile in Sultan’s Keep, Altair and Kifah have foodie nights on a regular basis. Sometimes Kifah cooks and other times they go out to the market and buy plenty of food to share with each other.
Kifah practises her miragi powers with Anadil, and regularly pranks Altair with her illusions.
When all of the Zumra meet up together, Kifah always prepares snacks and takes time to learn each person’s favourite foods. Altair is a fan of bold flavours; Zafira still doesn’t like garlic but is very open to trying new things (such as the spice ras el-hanout which Kifah introduced her to).
During one of these meetings, Altair reminisces over a girl he once saw during the final battle against the Lion - a girl with brilliant hair and a blue shawl. Zafira recognises that he’s unkowingly talking about Yasmine and silently panics whilst Kifah is smirking the whole time.
Lana and Yasmine visit Zafira in Sarasin when they’re able to. Lana excitedly tells Zafira about the cool medical cases she gets to see as a healer, and Zafira brings some fabulous dresses for Yasmine. Nasir learns that Lana enjoys reading adventure stories and brings some books for her.
Just about everyone is aware that Nasir is absolutely smitten for Zafira, just based on the way he looks at her and talks about her. He doesn’t mind though.
When i first heard of this book it was regarded as an enemies to lovers book . However this book is so much more. There’s love, friendship, family and so much more . The author Hafsah Faizal , has blessed us with an outstanding piece of work. She is. truly magic. I can’t wait to read the second book. 🫶🏾
Hafsah might have hinted the Altair spin-off book on her livestream with HUGENDUBEL last night! She could not say much but said that fans "who know will know", hinting about the plenty of fans who have been asking for an Altair Al-Badawi book for months.
A few days ago she has posted about her writing a book about a blonde character. The only blonde character written by her is our man Altair 🥰
I made this ages ago :) also ik that some of the face claims used r not arab ect but it was so hard finding someone with Zafira's features and Altairs :(
I am tired :P so most of the effort went into the background which slowed down my phone into oblivion, and then when it was time to render altiar, I got lazy .... So here he is.... He doesn't look like altair. Since I was kinda done with the whole thing I was most focused on making Altair blend with the background so now any detail that was present is just gone :3.
Nasir was right when he said that he looked younger without his turban
Anyways here is the background and Altair but separate:
(regarding the background, is this accurate to like Islamic architecture? I have no idea I made it when my internet was done and had nothing but the little memory of how old mosques looked)
