"I've been here for nearly two years, but I haven't become so disconnected from others that I can't tell when someone remembers why I am here and alters their behavior." Gwyn's mouth flattened to a line. "I don't need to be coddled. Only spoken to like a person."
I spent way too many hours some time messing around with Baldur's Gate 3 mods. Turns out you can use one to edit the appearance of Origin characters, which means I immediately ran to edit Astarion so I could get some Azriel x Tav gifs.
You know I had to make Gwyn and Azriel. (Other people will be coming soon, don't ya worry)
Let’s pretend like his wings are there by the way ☹️ that was something I could not add.
I really hope you guys enjoy my take on these two! In the future, I'll definitely be making some more gifs. But the way the game works, I can't get them right now.
whatever you do today, do NOT imagine Azriel and Gwyn singing softly to soothe one another, okay? Do not imagine Azriel, alone in the dark as a child, singing softly to soothe himself. Do not imagine Gwyn singing to the children in the temple after they had a bad dream. Certainly do NOT imagine baby!Azriel wishing desperately for someone to do that for him 🤷🏻♀️ You might break your own heart
Cassian's throat tightened, and even from across the ring he could see Nesta's eyes gleaming with pride and pain.
The world seemed to pause at the words. As if it had been following one path and now branched off in another direction. In a hunred years, a thousand, this moment would still be etched in his mind.
The prompts for week 1 of Gwynriel Weeks is here! If you have any questions regarding the prompts, please don’t hesitate to send us a message!
Day 1: Firsts
Nesta said it herself that things were just getting started between Azriel and Gwyn, which also means that there are many firsts to come for these two!
Today is the day to envision Gwynriel’s first kiss, first Starfall, first date, etc!
Day 2: Complementary
Gwyn and Az complement each other in many ways with their personalities, hobbies, and even their aesthetic.
How do you personally see them and the many ways they work well together?
Day 3: Confessions
You can’t have a love story without a confession right? For today’s prompt, think of the different confessions Gwynriel may make to one another as they go through their romance.
Are they confessing their wants? Their fears? Maybe even their love for each other?
Day 4: Warriors
Gwyn and Az are the only ship where both characters are Carynthian warriors, with Gwyn also being a Valkyrie warrior and Az being a Shadowsinger!
How do you think this dynamic plays out in both the battle field and the training ring?
Day 5: Domestic Life
After everything they’ve been through, Gwynriel deserve to bask in the more mundane activities in day to day life.
Maybe the two of them are napping or taking a stroll? Reading on the couch cuddled up? Or possibly even looking after a family together?
Day 6: Mates
There have been heavy hints and parallels of Gwyn and Az being mates throughout ACOSF and the bonus chapter.
How do you imagine their mated life? What imagery comes to mind when you think of Gwynriel as mates?
Day 7: Healing
Gwyn and Azriel both have healing journeys that they need to go on, especially in regards to how they both view their own self worth.
How do you think they help one another overcome their past traumas and hardships? What do you imagine a healing journey between them to look like?
Gwyn whispered, "I am the rock against which the surf crashes." Nesta straightened at the words, as if they were a prayer and a summons. Gwyn lifted the blade. "Nothing can break me."
New chapter of Thirty Moments Tell A Story is up on AO3!
✨️ Read it here! ✨️
Story Summary:
How could thirty moments in the lives of two warriors tell a tale of friends to lovers? From holding hands to ruthless competition; from patching each other up to their first major argument.
These are thirty moments that tell Gwyn and Azriel's story.
AKA my version of a 30 Day OTP Challenge. I won't be updating daily, but maybe every few days or every week.
Chapter Summary: Badass & Feral: Gwyn
Reader's Choice - Badass and feral Gwyn saving Az.
This turned into a two-parter so buckle up!
TW: Mentions of past SA, past physical abuse, torture, blood, gore, violence
Notes: The villain in the next two chapters is inspired by a character from an unofficial Dungeons & Dragons source book called The Game Master's Book of Villain's, Minions and Their Tactics. The location is inspired by Revel's End from the Forgotten Realms too!
Because they deserve to let their rage out for the world to see. Because there was no other way to be heard. Because they were angry and furious and so, so tired of having to prove they deserve to be seen as human beings too.
