I just wanna say I absolutely love all your analysis and metas of the Rayla-Aaravos parallels. I'm a big believer of their devastating circumstances more than I was before. You captivated them very well. Elves who've been backstabbed and betrayed by their people as well as being banished from their communities. It's fascinating yet heartbreaking. Especially with the short stories. I'm beyond excited for the next short stories they have coming up and where their character arcs go.

Keep being awesome, fam. ❤️👏

Thank you!! I caught onto the Aaravos-Rayla parallels at first because the mirror reminded me of the Ghosting - a sort of exile and obviously communication through certain reflective surfaces - and then in the places they held in Viren and Callum's life: elven guides who aid them in travelling deeper into their magical journeys, accessing greater power due to that bond (power that dooms Viren, and saves Callum). I still think the bulk of Rayla and Aaravos' parallels are tethered to their dynamics with their respective high mages (Aaravos will save Viren, who is being hunted by Rayla; Rayla will save Callum, who is being hunted by Aaravos, etc) but they have some really juicy ones all on their own like

Their relationship with truth telling that constantly goes back and forth ("I'm not lying, I never lie" vs "I've been keeping something from him, hiding the truth" "White lies are illusions you build with your words to protect the hearts of those you love"). Rayla hating water, Aaravos being imprisoned (seemingly) under water. "You keep calling it a monster. Does it think? Does it feel? Does it have a family? Then is it the last of its kind?" Rayla consistently having the water reflection motif / ripples. Aaravos believing his return is inevitable while Rayla dreads that her failures are. Doing something even when the odds seem impossible ("[Finding Aaravos] is hopeless") and even when your own people might misunderstand and turn against you. Rayla being branded as a Ghost and a coward (worse than death / dying honourably) while Aaravos himself is something worse than death. Their metaphorical masks and literal hood reveals, both of them being echoes of Thunder ("he is the reason I am where I am" whether in prison or on the assassination mission, cloaked by the storm and illuminated by lightning). "I have not seen the stars in centuries, but when I see them again - when the stars are forced to look upon their dark brother - they will know I have waited" and "I wish I could say that we will see each other again, but I don't know if will. I hope so." The way that Rayla is the first to correctly and consistently identify Aaravos' Key: "It's a toy, probably a piece from a children's game" "It's a glow toy" and "or are you losing to Bait at a game of rolly-cubes?"

It's so so good, not even touching on the ways they largely represent Callum's two (perhaps not mutually exclusive) paths post-s4. I'm so freaking excited to see how they're intertwined next

I just want Mare and Cal to find each other when all hope seems lost, like imagine them not being able to hold back the tears and being unable to find the words to express how much they love and have missed each-other. Imagine Cal going weak at the knees when he sees Mare, telling himself he's dreaming because he was so certain he would never see her again. Imagine him kissing Mare's tears away while they're wrapped up in each others arms and Mare's whispering "my little fire babe" in his ear...

LOLOLOLOL WHO’S READY FOR FIIIIIIICCCCC TIIIIIIIMMMMEEEE??? Who’s ready to get rekt children? (I took a little more liberty with this one)

It is freezing, ice under my feet, ice burning on the tip of my nose and my cheeks. I can’t breath around the cold. I can’t even think around it. I can hear the shouts of battle coming from the courtyard over, but I trudge past, droplets of red behind me like a breadcrumb trail. I wouldn’t be surprised if Samson was following it like the bloodhound he was. I press my hand harder against the bullet wound, the one bullet I thought I’d never get hit with. Surely it had been an accident. The sniper had been aiming for Maven, but at the last second, I had stepped up to his side, just like we had rehearsed during the practice for his grand speech. It had been planned, he had known the sniper would be there, probably because of Jon. I cursed that fortune teller one more time as I took another stumbling step. The bullet had slammed through my side and into my gut probably, and without a doubt, I was probably going to die in the middle of this courtyard. 

I stood in the middle then, my thin boots soaking up the snow as flurries of it floated around me. I couldn’t see clearly anymore, and when I looked down I could see the puddle of red on the snow, like a bright red robin in spring. I would never make it out of Corvium, never, I was going to die inside these walls like a prisoner. I inhaled sharply around the pain in my side and then tried to take another step, but my legs were frozen. I was going to die standing up then. I snorted at that, I had once told Maven I would die on my feet like a solider, and not on my knees like a dog. How wonderful that I would get my wish. 

My feet waver under me though, and I realized that if the puddle of blood is not what will be the death of me, the cold will. 

The crunch of snow under boots is what brings me back to life. I look up hesitantly, a ragged girl, bleeding, and dying. If it’s Maven’s soldiers, I’ll tell them to kill me, to just put another bullet through my head and end this whole mess. Standing on the other side of the courtyard though, is not one of Maven’s soldiers, it’s a Scarlet Guard member. They’re dressed in worn fatigues, with the signature red scarf. I can’t even smile, my lips are so chapped that if I did, they would crack and more blood would pour out. 

My hand pulls away from my side then, revealing the bright red stained across my palm. I offered it out to the soldier, who is standing stock still, like he was looking at a ghost. I smile softly then, like a child expecting a parent to reprimand them for doing something foolish, but I get nothing of the sort as my knees start to buckle and I’m crashing down, down, down into the snow. 

Two arms catch me though, warm arms. I sigh in relief at the change in temperature and then blink open my eyes. Everything is starting to blur around the edge, and all I want to do is close my eyes and sink into that darkness. Peace is calling, and in the distance, I swear I can hear Shade, calling my name like a child begging me to come play. 

“Mare.” 

My name is like a whisper, like a lovers final breath, and my eyes flutter open as the solider rips the scarf they’re wearing away to reveal their features. My heart beats once, then twice, and then I swallow and whisper, “Cal.”

He’s here, it’s really him. I reach up a shaking hand, covered in my blood, and cup his cheek. “You came, you came for me.” My lips curl up in a smile as I run my thumb along his cheek, coated in stubble and dirt and blood. Silver blood. Not his own, from what I can tell. I swallow hard again and then choke, “I thought I’d never see you again, and here you are, my last-”  

I grabs my hand tightly in his own and reprimands, “Don’t finish that statement. You’re not going to die. I won’t let you.”

I snort at his comment and then breathe, “Jon was right about you, you do think you can control the unstoppable.” 

Before I know it, I’m heaved up into his arms. I curl up against him then, needing the warmth that pulsated off him. He carried me through the courtyard, and out of it, past the heat of battle, which is only a blur of House colors and the Scarlet Guard’s fearless red. I cling to Cal though, who manages to avoid being tackled by more than a few Silvers, and who practically stumbles down into a ditch like trench of sorts on the far side of the courtyard. People are moving frantically through it, healers, I realize belatedly, as Cal’s muffled voice hollers for someone, anyone. He drops into a little foxhole cubby in the trench and keep me pressed to his chest, rocking me slowly back and forth as he whispers, “Don’t you dare die on me, Mare Barrow.” 

I blink, and then roll my eyes as I lay my head against his shoulder. It had been months since I had seen him, but he was no different. Still the same two hundred pound muscle of a man who had promised to defend me even after I had betrayed him. The tears come before I can stop them and then burn as they roll down through the ice on my cheeks. He wraps an arm around my shoulders and lifts me up more so that he can press a soft kiss against my hairline. It’s so gentle that I almost miss it. He inhales slowly and then whispers, “Don’t cry little lightning girl, I’m here.”

He shifts me so that my chest is pressed up against his, and his hand is pressed into the spot right above my shoulders blades. It almost makes me cry harder. The sign that he had always given me in the Notch and beyond had become verbal, a confirmation, and a promise. 

Cold hands press against my lower back then, and my shirt if hiked up to my shoulders. I whimper at the cold, and in response, Cal pushes more heat out, enough to keep an entire family warm for the winter. His lips brush my temple then my ear as he whispers, “Sara will heal you, she’ll heal you and everything will be fine.” 

In that moment, I believe him, I believe every word he says. I turn my head into his neck and then tilt my chin up to whisper against his jaw, “I…I love you.”

The silent words we had shared as we went crashing down in the Blackrun make him stiffen in surprise before the tension rolls out of his shoulders in another wave of heat. His own tears mix with mine then, hot and fiery like him, they soothe as they wash away the remaining ice on my face. 

“I know.” He exhales as he wraps a blanket around me and buries himself deeper into the foxhole. Sara must have finished, and sure enough, my side feels numb now, and cool. She truly could work magic. 

There’s a battle to be won though, and I go to urge Cal to leave, until I hear the cries of victory, and the shouts of the Reds as they leap out of the trench, guns blazing determined to not lose their victory. I hear it all, and it is like a dream from another world. Cal glances up at the lip of the trench, and then back down at me, a tiny smile on his lips as he says, “Welcome back, Mare.” 

My lips pull up into a smile and I pull his face down to mine, where his lips crash  against mine as well. Safe, safe, safe, the word rings in my head over and over again, and more tears join as I realize that for the first time in months, maybe even years, it’s true. 

UNEDITED CAUSE NAH FAM. XD Enjoy the pain.
