I've been reading some of your request responses and I'm very impressed with your work! I'm also a simp for all things Rhys. I'm usually picky with my fics but I really hope you'll do my request justice.

I would love to see Rhys x reader on her period. I have an idea of how that would work but I'd love to get your perspective

Please don't fee stressed, obligated, or pressured to do this I just really love the mental image of snuggly Rhys!

What would I do without you?

Rhysand x f!Reader.

Masterlist.

Warnings; mentions of blood, pain and sex.

First of all I would like to thank you for your kind words and for choosing me to write your idea. It means a lot to me and I hope you will enjoy this. If you don't you can always ask me to rewrite it! I would really love to get a feedback for this.

You hated the mother, you hated the cauldron and cursed on all the gods new and forgotten. Your circle came and decided to grip all your intestines and rearrange them. The pain was unbearable, your powers were completely out of control and your mood could change in a blink. The day started with you alone in bed crying… you were crying because of the pain and then sobbing because your mate -Rhysand wasn’t in bed with you. Then you got up to take a bath… you didn’t realise the power you used to shut the door and watched as it snapped in half. Fuck. You cried…again.

Once you were done cleaning yourself you slipped back in bed and clenched your eyes shut. A new wave of pain hitting you and taking your breath away. 

The door of your bedroom burst open and Rhysand walked in, his eyes frantically scanning the room. 

“Sweetheart I felt pain down the bond are you okay?” He asked, approaching the bed and sitting next to you.

“I’m on my circle” you cried out “and Mother decided to act like a bitch” 

Rhysand frowned and placed his hand on your back.

“What can I do for you?” His voice was soft now.

“Kill me please” you groaned. He shook his head and stood up.

“Wait here I’ll be back in a few minutes” he said and walked out.

“Like I could go anywhere” you murmured to yourself and massaged your abdomen.

A few minutes later Rhys entered the room again with a tray in his hands, this piqued your interest and you sat upright.

“What’s that?” You asked.

“Breakfast and a tonic Madja used to make for my mother” he explained and set the tray on your lap. 

Your mouth watered at the sight of the food. He had gotten every kind of food you craved when you were on your circle. He noticed your expression and said “I know your cravings sweetcheeks” earning a smile from you.

“What would I do without you” you breathed and picked up the fork.

“What would you do without me indeed” he chuckled and stripped his clothes. 

“You arrogant Illyrian” he threw his head back as he laughed and then crawled on the bed.

“I thought I was an Illyrian baby” he pouted and you slapped his arm.

“Hey that’s the thanks I get for being the best mate anyone could ever have?” He faked a hurt expression and you snorted.

The light moment was completely ruined as another wave of pain hit you and you groaned. 

“Come on baby eat so you can drink the tonic” he frowned and sat next to you, his hand grabbed your thigh and he started massaging it.  

After you were finished with your breakfast you grabbed the cup that contained the tonic and gulped it down eagerly. 

“I want the pain to go away” you groaned and placed the tray on the floor next to the bed. 

“I know” Rhysand murmured and pulled you in his arms. He manoeuvred both of you in a spooning position. You felt his talons caressing your mental shield and you let him in. He put you to sleep and planted your favourite memories of the two of you for you to dream. 

When you woke up again Rhysand’s soft snores filled the silence, he was still spooning you and his hand was placed on your abdomen massaging it. 

You softly turned around and hugged his waist, you nested your face in his neck and breathed his scent… so spicy yet sweet. He stopped snoring and you could feel his smirk. 

“How are you feeling love?” He whispered and pressed you harder against him, his hands rubbing your back soothingly. 

“Better” you murmured. 

He didn’t respond he just kept rubbing your back and placed soft kisses on your head. 

“I think we should change the sheets and clean our thighs.” He softly said with a last kiss on your head. 

“What? Why?” You asked and removed yourself from his arms. You gasped as you saw your blood spread on the sheets, on your thighs and to your mortification on Rhysand’s thighs. Your face burned and you quickly stood up. 

“Baby I’m so sorry” your eyes filled with tears and your nose wrinkled in disgust. 

“Why? It’s completely natural.” He shrugged and got up too. He flicked his fingers and the sheets disappeared, a new pair covered the bed and you heard the bathtub filling up. 

“Let’s go” he said and guided you in the bathroom stopping for a second as he noticed the broken door, chuckling he flicked his fingers again and the door was replaced with a new one.

You couldn’t speak, the way he treated you made your heart melt. 

He stripped your nightgown and his underwear before grabbing a cloth and cleaning your thighs and his too. He stepped into the bathtub and opened his arms waiting for you. You got in and sat between his legs. 

“I would never feel disgusted by you…” he murmured in your hair. “Especially for something that you have to go through in order to have our baby one day” 

Your heart swelled at the thought. 

“Our baby” you whispered and his hands moved to your abdomen, he pressed them against it and took a deep breath. 

“Do you want me to fill you up? Put our baby in there?” His voice sounded deeper and raspier than before. 

“Yes please” you almost moaned at the thought. 

And once your circle was done he fulfilled his promise. 

Requests are open!

This again. I just want to break down my thoughts here so bear with me.

(I did the math and calculated ~ 7.9k people voted that 55%) 💀

First of all,

Elain doesn’t just enjoy gardening for the aesthetic, but rather for the fruits of her labor through hard work. Spring Court’s flowers and nature are only in bloom by magic (The High Lord’s). Not work. Not labor. But rather for convenience and aesthetics (to embody the very domain that one, being Tamlin, High Lord of the SC, resides in). That, to me, goes against Elain’s very enjoyment of the craft of her gardening.

Couple that with the fact that she has completely neglected using those gloves that Lucien gave her. She put them down after they were gifted to her, not even bothering to look at them as if she didn’t care for them. She doesn’t seek protection from the labor of her craft. She doesn’t want to make it easier. She enjoys the challenge. I think Feyre’s perspective on that made it clear.

And again, why would Elain in her right mind willingly go to be with her younger sister’s abusive ex? Why would she? I’m pretty sure she is well aware of what transpired between the two. That she is aware of Tamlin’s actions. Especially when he is partially, if not entirely, responsible for her life quite literally being turned upside down. Having her mortality stripped from her and her love and happiness (or simply content) gone along with it. If she is so visibly uncomfortable with Lucien, who was an accomplice, I’d imagine she would also hold animosity or discomfort for Tamlin tenfold.

Secondly,

Regarding mating bonds being rare: This is a story that encompasses a main group of protagonists. 3’s are SJM’s specialty. Just because 3 brothers may get with 3 sisters does not automatically mean that mating bonds aren’t rare. As a fae romance series with mating bonds clearly being a significant staple throughout, we will encounter mating bonds. Especially with our protagonists. That just seems like logic to me. Even then, it’s been stated and shown time and again that not every mating bond works or is positive. That just because two individuals have a bond doesn’t mean they’ll have good chemistry.

Also take into account that our dear Inner Circle is not the entire continent of Prythian. The Inner Circle does not equal the entire population. So therefore, a small group of mated individuals ≠ a common occurrence.

What’s wrong with the storyline matching up to have a 3:3? Is the perfectionism so wrong? I think that the phrase “too perfect” should be replaced with “complete/completion”. One last brother to one last sister is the remaining piece of the puzzle. Yes, you can argue that the cliche of 3:3 is boring or too simple but this is SJM’s world. She is a cliche author. She always has been.

Lastly,

I believe that Tamlin has had his redemption arc. If you want to call it that at least. In my opinion, he doesn’t need one. His prime arc is over. The series is way bigger than just Tamlin now. I simply see no reason as to why SJM should take more time for Tamlin , who arguably has done more than enough, rather than anything else. I feel like it’d be a backward progression.

Not every character has to be redeemed.

Not every character should be able to find peace or become good after selfish or morally questionable acts.

Not every character calls for major development.

To me, it’s just bad writing to redeem and develop every single character.

Even then, Tamlin is a well written character. He doesn’t need more depth. (I think this post alone proves that people don’t understand him already). He doesn’t need Elain to come in and “fix him”. No one can. No one but Tamlin himself. And we see that if anything, he’s wasting away rather than trying to help himself. He’s wallowing in his grief, anger, and hatred. Be it for others -like Rhys- or himself. It’s on him. Hell, even Rhys tried to help him. Yet he remains unmoving. That is Tamlin’s choice. Elain shouldn’t need to be his catalyst for change. He should.

To Conclude,

I see no logical reason again as to why people think this is a possibility. It just seems like a terrible writing choice for the story of ACOTAR. Of course, SJM can indeed surprise us. She wields the mighty pen after all. But then again, why would she turn around and completely dismiss 4 books of chemistry with a certain shadowsinger just to pitch our third sister with someone like Tamlin or Lucien? If she had planned to do so before, why would there be 4 books worth of obvious chemistry? It’d be a waste. If she has planned or plans to have Elain go with Lucien or Tamlin, why hasn’t she written any semblance of true chemistry between them? If Elain should allegedly have a balance with Tamlin or Lucien, why isn’t there any chemistry? All I’ve seen from Elain is obvious discomfort.

“I thought it was obvious…” - SJM

I could write more about Lucien and Elain’s dynamic but I think that is a whole different matter that doesn’t pertain to the current topic so I’ll leave this here. Thanks for coming to my ted talk.

Christopher‘s death just hits twice as hard when you remember that…

Cecily and Gabriel lost their son

Anna and Alexander lost their brother

James and Matthew lost their friend

Thomas lost his brother by heart

Henry lost his nephew he could teach

Grace lost her only friend

And the fandom lost the funny, sensible and smart Kit Lightwood

[lordbelacqua]

marisa and asriel NEVER made a bad track. “oh asriel, what will happen to us? is this the end of everything?” amazing. “we should have married” showstopping. “i cant bear the thought of oblivion, asriel” immaculate. “i could understand your hating me, i’ve never hated you, but i could understand” heartbreaking. “call him now marisa, my love” beautiful.

yet none of them made it to season 3

It's less than a month for Mysteries of Thorn Manor, I'm so excited! Any chance for a sneak peek?

[soloavengers]

Sparrow was born outside the two nations we know, he showed great promise in magic, and was raised by his mentor. When he was yet a child, Sparrow got too proud of his abilities and went too far in an attempt to show off to his fellow young sorcerers, summoning a beast, he grew up chasing it until finally he defeated it. Not without getting scarred physically and emotionally.

He’d spent years traveling and using a limited amount of his skill to help, the skills of a sorcerer from his land is a lot different than of those we see in Vermund and Battahl. Sparrow perfected a spell that kept the brine at bay, and with it he had managed to sail away from the island he grew up in and to Vermund.

Becoming the Arisen terrified him, for surely he would need to summon all his strength to defeat the Dragon, and who knows what would happen then? The Dragon and Drakes had only bothered his homeland in ancient times, and are almost revered now for their intelligence and use of magic. Enough of Sparrow’s pride remains that he believes his magic can rival that of the Dragon’s, but not its brute strength.

His new journey is a second chance, a chance to learn and grow out of his timidness as a magic user, he decided that perhaps he would not make the same mistake from his youth if he strictly kept to the skills of the mages and sorcerers of Vermund and Battahl.

When it was time to summon his loyal pawn, he willed into this world an already existing pawn, seeking one who deserved a second chance, one of brute force —

Came Thorne, who was abandoned by his former Arisen in the rift who knows how long ago. Thorne’s creator had lost a brother who helped him seize a throne, an obedient brother who cared for little but the thrill of battle. Thorne is much the same, and he helped the Arisen seize more land, especially after he caught the Dragonsplague, especially upon transforming. The havoc he caused weakened a large kingdom up for the Arisen’s taking.

He doesn’t remember these events, and believes his former master had simply gotten busy and forgot about him. (He was abandoned because the Arisen believed Thorne grown powerful enough to consider killing him for the throne.) However he isn’t as nonchalant about all the bloodshed the Arisen had made him spread, and so he’s almost as watchful of his own power as Sparrow.
