Pink Valkyrie t-shirts.... PINK!!

Okay, but now the pink and blue hearts have me thinking we're getting The Valkyries and Azriel's POV. SJM herself said she was listening to The Batman soundtrack (Azriel coded) and K-Pop Demon hunters (Valkyrie coded) while writing these books!

Are we getting breadcrumbs?!

So excited that we are finally getting some content from BB! We have been starved for too long

When banter in the ring turned into pillow talk and soft laughs in the dark. Two lost souls finding salvation in each other. 🤍🩵💙

@brielyasmin never fails to amaze me with her artwork, she captured Gwyn and Azriel so beautifully, as always. They look so at peace together. From the lighting to the overall vibe, perfection! Thank you @brielyasmin ! It’s always a pleasure working together.

The Mother Watching 👀

"Nesta could have sworn the charms on their bracelets let out a soft, singing hum"..... after Emerie mentioned the Mother watching over them during the Blood Rite...

This wording is eerily similar to the bonus chapter of Azriel's in which he is leaving Gwyn's presence:

Azriel entered the warmth of the stairwell, and as he descended, he could have sworn a faint, beautiful singing followed him. Could have sworn his shadows sang in answer.

This to me shows and proves that the Mother WAS watching over Azriel that night. That the Mother blessed him with a mate bond during his interaction with Gwyn.

Right now he is just too blinded to see what is right in front of him. The Mother hasn't forsaken him. He just needs to be patient a little while longer.

Reason why I have no doubt about why Gwyn is Azriel's mate.

So, we know that Azriel is blinded by his longing for Morrigan and the illusion that Elain should belong to him because the cauldron gave his brothers two mates. And since he doesn't consider himself worthy of a mate, here are the parallel that removes almost all of my uncertainties about gwyn's being azriels mate!

RHYSAND: "I smiled. Smiled wider as Feyre’s laugh sounded again—as I felt it down the bond, sparkling brighter than the entirety of Starfall."

AZRIEL:

"Clotho’s pen moved once more. She deserves something as beautiful as this. I thank you for the joy it shall bring to her*.*

Something sparked in Azriel’s chest, but he only nodded his thanks and left. He could picture it, though, as he ascended the stairs back to  the House proper. How Gwyn’s teal eyes might light upon seeing the necklace. For whatever reason… he could see it."

In both contexts, the spark was about Rhys and Az appreciating the happiness that Feyre and Gwyn were/would feeling/feel.

What's most interesting to me is that Rhys was already fully aware that Feyre was his mate, so he could feel all her happiness sparking through the bond. Azriel didn't know. That's why he referred to it as "something."

The choice of words, the context, it was the same night that Nessian discovered their mate bond and the bond was described as "music between souls"... to me it sounds pretty obvious.

I've also included here an overview of what the "spark" in romance novels can mean, even though we're already familiar with Sarah's writing style.
