Yess!
Auri: I have one more teeny tiny request...
Kal: Saying no to you causes me actual physical pain, but go on.
â Holiday gift giveaway | Aurora Jie-Lin O'Malley | for Sage // @marebarrow from Marisa // @kuweiyulbo The joke sounds weak in my own head, and my breath feels oddly shallow, as if someoneâs squeezing my chest. I canât die in the middle of a conflict I donât even understand, on a space station, two hundred years into the future.
That's deep...
The Most Magical Time Of Year
Pairing: Kaliis Gilwraeth x Aurora Jie-Lin OâMalley

Christmas was something Kal had been vaguely aware of for a while but never truly understood until heâd met Auri. It was a long-standing human tradition, one of many at that time of year, and people spoke fondly of it but heâd never bothered to look into any of its intricacies before. There hadnât been any point really. The academy didnât recognise it as an official holiday and he had only ever seen small celebrations from some of his fellow legionnaires in passing so he assumed it wasnât particularly important. According to Aurora, however, he was wrong.
Auri had been appalled when sheâd discovered that he didnât know a thing about the holiday and had taken it upon herself to educate him and inject him and everyone else with some Christmas spirit. He couldnât honestly say he minded. Seeing Auri so excited and passionate about the festival made him beyond happy and he found it wasnât hard to get into the festivities with her relentless enthusiasm.

Aurora Rising has the least amount of physical romantic action in it but why is it that it gets the BIGGEST heart-eyed oomf, aching reaction out of me. Itâs just so simply and sweet, Kal and Aurieâs interactions, that Iâm sort of overpowered by how much I adore it??? I keep the book on my bedside table with the Kal x auri parts bookmarked so I can flip to it and squeal. I would lay down my life for this awkward fuzzy warm couple
Why is this me?
The Aurora Rising Material we NEED
A collection of short videos from Finnian just discussing how infuriating the sexual tension between Kal and Aurora is, like wHY ARE THEY SO AWKWARD AND SOFT AND SWEET JUST SMASH FACES ALREADY GODDAMN
and itâs just him ranting, so done with the two of them, like âday #492 without them banging, I almost made signs directing Kal to Auriâs bedroom, yesterday I carried auri to Kal while they were sleeping and she woke up, blushed and moved away from him LiKE CAN I MAKE IT ANYMORE OBVI-
Finian is my home girl, all the way đđ˝
Thoughts for Aurora Burning:
If Cat is dead-dead Iâm suing
Bouncing off that if Cat is ok Iâm not against a Cat/Tyler endgame
Tyler/Fin is my true endgame though honestly
Scarlett/Fin is good too
Kal and Auri deserve the world but Iâm not sure if they deserve each other quite yet
SOMEONE COMFORT TYLER DAMNIT
Zila better have a damn good story arc or Iâm rioting
I need more of Fin being a bi icon- a bicon if you will
SOMEONE LOVE FIN DAMNIT
To be updated as I think of more as it gets closer to release date
pReAch!

Auri was curled up on one of the couches, deep in thought, when Kal stepped onto the control deck one morning. He knew what she was thinking about. Her dad. Again. She did that a lot, even more since the incident on Octavia III.
It was obvious that thinking about him hurt her but after everything that happened it was understandable. Kal wished he could do something to help, to push it all out of her mind, but she wouldnât let him in. Wouldnât let anyone in. Maker, he wished she would.

Aurora laid in her bed, breathing through her mouth. Her nose was stuffed and her eyes were swollen and irritated. When she had woken up the crew had apparently let her sleep in because she was the only one in her bed and she had heard them quietly talking in the kitchen. She coughed sporadically and sniffed dramatically just when Kal opened the door.
âKal,â she groaned feeling her sore throat ache with effort just to say his name.
His eyes immediately widened as he moved with inhuman speed to her, the Pull mostly dragging him. He bent over and enclosed his cold calloused hands around hers.
âBeâshmai, what is the matter,â he asks his perfect silver eyebrows brawn together, with his eyes matching the same concern.
âIâm sick,â she all but struggles to get out.
His alluring violet eyes expand in realization. âZila,â he calls with his deep voice, bouncing off the walls stopping the light kitchen conversation.
âDo not worry Beâshmai you will feel better soon.â
â˘â˘â˘
"What do you mean you can not help her, she is dying,â Kal yells with intense anger in his voice.
Auri groaned that moment due to the loudness of his voice. Her senses were more sensitive than ever. He sent a apologetic glance towards her, even though she had her eyes sealed shut in concentration.
âSheâs not dying, she simply has a fever, but this ship does not have the medicine I need to cure the disease," Zila explains.
âThereâs absolutely nothing you can do,â Tyler asks running a hand through his hair. There were dark circles under his eyes and his skin was ghost white.
Ever since Cat had been left on Octavia he hadnât been the same. Staying up later, not eating as much, he still tried to put on a good face for his crew, but they could all see the changes. Scarlett was no different.
Zila thought for a moment. She was wearing big silver hoops twice the size of her hand.
âI could make homemade medicine. I believe we have the ingredients, but it takes six hours to prepare.â
They all gave each other sideways looks. It was already 12:00am, so she have to get it at the end of the day. Auri sits up and hacks multiple times into her elbow. Kals there in a millisecond by her side gently pushing her down and tucking white strands out of her face.
âWhatever it takes,â he says.
â˘â˘â˘
Kal couldnât get the sight of Auri out of his brain. He had been suppressing the Pull since the moment he saw her when he had entered the room, but now all he wanted to do was threaten Zila to hurry up or else he would shoot a bullet through her humungous brain. He would never actually do that, but he was getting to the point of antsy to angry and if Zila didnât make the medicine Auri would just get worse.
He was aloud to go see her as long as her fever didnât get to high to where it was contagious, but he didnât feel like he could hold off the Pull.
âKal!â
He turned his head toward Scarlett so fast he was surprised he didnât get a whiplash. Her hand was on her hip giving him a pointed look. He hadnât noticed how long he had been staring blank at a wall just pondering.
âHere,â she holds out a glass of crystal clear water. âI need you to give this to Auri.â
Scarlett knew Auri didnât ask for water, or drank anything for that matter, but she knew Kal wanted to see her and needed an excuse.
His mind was going crazy but he nodded and took it anyway. How could he see her again when he barley managed to hold it together the first time. Standing outside the door he breathes outward and opens it.
There sitting up on her bed sat Auri wrapped and huddled in two blankets. Her skin was as white as Tylerâs now and her red and puffy eyelids made her irises look smaller than what they actually were. There were greasy white and black strands everywhere mixed in and out of the blanket.
Even when she was sick she was beautiful, Kal thought.
Aurora catches sight of the bright light illuminating from the opened door turning her head, hissing. Only then does Kal realize its completely dim in the room.
âSorry,â he mumbles shutting it.
âKal,â she questions looking up at him, her eyes shining.
âUm, I-um brought your water.â
Her heart swells with admiration, even though she couldnât drink anything. He walks over and sets the glass on her bedside table next to her uniglass, Magellan. But when he turns to leave she stops him.
âWait!â
He stops in his tracks, slowly turning around, and looks at her.
âI was just wondering if maybe you could stay,â she says blushing. âBeing sick doesnât mean I want to be lonely.â
He openly gapes at her, the pull stronger than ever. He would love to lay with her while she sleeps. Listening to the sound of her soft breathing while he plays with her hair in total content. That would be heaven on earth. I guess he was staring to long because she looks down with a disappointed look on her face.
âNever mind it was a stupid idea. Thank you for the water anyways.â
She was about to lay back down, but Kal was already walking toward her bed and sitting criss-cross on top of the covers with his hands folded in his lap.
She sits next to him in the same position. After an awkward moment of silence Kal blows out a strip of air before lifting the arm thatâs on her side. Instantly she snuggles into his chest. They relax there for the rest of the time being.
â˘â˘â˘
Auri fell asleep a long time ago, but Kal never left her side. The only time she woke up was when Zila had finished the concoction and spoon fed it to her. Even after that, she fell unconscious straight afterwards due to the drowsiness inside the liquid.
The next morning she felt a lot better. No more sore throat or stuffy nose, heck even her eyes felt normal. A knock had startled her. Kal peeked around the corner, his eyes brightening at the sight of her wellbeing.
âBeâshmai,â he grins striding over to her and wrapping his arms around her petite body.
She instantly wraps her arms around him in response enjoy the warmth radiating from him body. He lets go too early for her comfort, but he puts his rough warrior hands on her cheeks, his plum colored eyes franticly checking every inch of her face.
She just blinks up at him knowing the Pull must have been very hard on him during her illness. She could smell his fresh minty breath blowing out of his perfectly shaped nostrils. She moved her face forward to his until their foreheads were touching. She would stare at him all day if she could, with his structured jaw line and pronounce cheek bones.
He slowly leans forward inching closer and closer. Her eyes flutter closed in anticipation. She could feel both their wanting mixing together, growing, and then-
The door slams open. They both snap their heads toward where the sound came from. Finianâs eyes were frenetic until he realized the scene he had walked upon.
âSorry to disturb,â he smirks. âBut we have a problem.â
Y'ALL!!!! WE GOT THE COVER AND IT IS GORGEOUS!!!
Thanks @l004p for letting me know about this!
What in the nick nack patty wack, Kal is looking like a whole snack!
So I was shopping for Aurora Burning, book two in the Aurora Cycle, and then I saw the date it was coming out... I CAN'T WAIT UNTIL MAY 2020! (I still pre-ordered it anyway)
Book two of the Aurora Cycle is here! This a picture of the description, which you can find on Amie Kaufman's website.
Halloween
Pairing:Â contains Kaliis Gilwraeth x Aurora Jie-Lin OâMalley, Tyler Jones x Finian de Karran de Seel, Scarlett Jones x Cat Brannock
Request: @window-sill-reeader asked â What if Halloween wasnât a thing in the future and aurora gets really excited for it but nobody else knows what it is so she forceâs everyone to wear homemade Halloween customs and throws a Halloween party for the crew. â
Warnings: swearing, suggestive things, prepare yourself for Finianâs costume
A/N: Okay so itâs mostly general on the relationships but follows Auri so tends to have more focus on Kalora, then Tylian because I am trash and literally have to put it in everything, and then some very background Scarcat. Um, I had a lot of fun writing this and coming up with their costumes (shoutout to some of the guys in aurorafiles for helping with your suggestions). Anyway, happy halloween! and I hope you enjoy this!

âWhat are you doing?â Kal asked as he walked into the common room and found Auri surrounded by piles of fabric.
âMaking Halloween costumes,â she replied simply as if that explained anything to Kal.
âHallow-what?â Auri stopped her sewing and looked up at him.
âWait. Has no one ever explained Halloween to you? I thought Tyler or someone would have at least.â
âNo. I have never heard of this Halloween.â

Okay so the whole description on Amazon has me so excited but this?

Trust
Pairing:Â Kaliis Gilwraeth x Aurora Jie-Lin OâMalley
Warnings:Â Nothing really
A/N: Fictober day 10, prompt âListen, I canât explain it, youâll have to trust meâ. Short but pretty sweet I guess. This oneâs got a little more romance in it because I feel like people probably want it but itâs still not too much.Â

Everyone was staring at the star map, frowning in concentration, deathly silent. It had been like this for at least 5 minutes now and it was eerie. Auri wandered over from where sheâd been sat to see if she could offer any help at all. It was that bad. Her eyes scanned over the constellations before her, she didnât recognise any of it.
âDoes anyone have anything?â Tyler asked. âIâll take even the smallest hunch right now.â

I finally finished reading Aurora Rising and the only thing I could think about through the entire book is how much Kal reminds me of Wolf
A big and really tall tough guy who is secretly a softie
Falls hard and very fast for their love interest
Comes from rough childhoods or tragic backgrounds
Turned into killing machines unwillingly
Endless brooding
Can't help but to love them
FYI I have another blog and it's about the lunar Chronicles. (Shameless promo)
