This amazing commission of Gwynriel represented by the two of cups (bonding, relationship, compatibility and soulmates) was done by the incredible @monolime ♥️ It was such a pleasure to work with them and I’m in awe at the beauty of this piece ♥️

Stephanie's IG Live with Sarah (link to inverview here)

Steph: They asked me if there were any Sarah J Maas ships that I disagreed with? Sarah: Are there? Steph: No, because you and I are of like minded folk. Sarah: *Smiles and places a hand on her chest* Steph: Like, every time you've introduced a character that ultimately ended up as the [endgame], like Rowan, I knew exactly, like he needs to be with Aelin. Sarah: *nodding along the entire time and smiling*

Fandomtastic Podcast (link to full podcast episode here)

Steph: [Prior to ACOSF] I was an Elriel stan hardcore. I loved the contrast between Elain and Azriel. [...] Me shipping Elriel was really me loving Azriel. Ava: So Steph, what are your thoughts about Azriel and Elain or just Azriel, you know, depending on where your thoughts are landing following up on the bonus chapter? Steph: So I would be lying if I said I wasn't intrigued by Gwyn and Azriel. [...] I would be open to a Gwynriel relationship for sure. I don't personally think that after the bonus chapter that Elriel are happening anymore. Ava: I personally feel that Gwynriel, like, coming out of that chapter, I think that will be the ship that Sarah goes with moving forward. Just because it feels very much like, Sarah's MO. I feel like Sarah, usually, quite confidently, introduces new ships.

*Please note that this does not confirm any ships and are the personal opinions of the speakers and individuals. The purpose of this post is not to say a ship is confirmed as only SJM and BB can do that. This is just for fun and is an interesting perspective to look at as we approach the next book😁

Pov: Gwyn's eyes

" And when Gwyn reached the finish line, bloody and panting and grinning so wildly her teal eyes glowed like a sunlit sea, she only extended her battered hand to Azriel."

[gwynrielshappyendings]

Happy Last Day of June! How are you feeling?

Frustrated? Angry? Shaking your fists at The Mother herself because we don't have any titles or covers???

Well, don't give up hope just yet!!

Not only do we have a really good feeling about July ;)... but we also have two fun fics to entertain you this week!

I Think I Kissed Az Last Night &

Drunk in the Wrong Bedroom

by lady_riel

THE DRABBLE I THINK I KISSED AZ LAST NIGHT IS BASED ON

Gwyn: I think I kissed Az last night.

Nesta: *double takes* WHAT

Gwyn: I meant to kiss him on the cheek but then there was some kind of mix-up and instead I kissed him on the lips.

Nesta: And what happened then?!

Gwyn:

Gwyn:

Gwyn: We might have kissed some more.

The Story Continues on Ao3

TEASER FOR DRUNK IN THE WRONG BEDROOM

“What—” she hiccuped again “—are you doing in my bed?”

Azriel’s brows rose. “This is my bed.”

“Then what is your bed doing in my room?” she demanded. Her effort at imperiousness was ruined by the hiccups that punctuated the question.

Azriel pinched the bridge of his nose. “Gwyneth. This is my room.”

We will be back every Tuesday to make recommendations, but please feel free to leave your favourite fics in the comments or just scream about how excited you are for the next books! 💖🎶💖

She angled her head, hair shining like molten metal. “Do you sing?”

He blinked. It wasn’t every day that people took him by surprise, but…”Why do you ask?”

“They call you shadowsinger. Is it because you sing?”

“I am a shadowsinger–it’s not a title that someone just made.”

She shrugged again, irreverently. Az narrowed his eyes, studying her. “Do you, though?” she pressed. “Sing?”

Azriel couldn’t help his soft chuckle. “Yes.”

just 120 days left to read their love story <3

now i'm not saying anything but azriel being subconsciously drawn to the library (and gwyn) is giving me feyre following rhysand's tug on the mate bond at the end of acotar vibes

[howtopotato]

And he could picture the way her eyes would light up...for whatever reason. They’re coded as mates. I stand by that interpretation.

[norabraveseeker]

Feyre’s first time feeling the tug of the mating bond during Calanmai when she was human.

“There was a string—a string tied to my gut that pulled me toward those hills, commanding me to go, to hear the faerie drums …”—ACOTAR Chapter 20

Feyre’s first time feeling the bond as fae

“I was pulled from sleep by something tugging at my middle, a thread deep inside.[…] I knew who summoned me long before I opened the door to the hall and padded down it,[…] and I found myself on a small balcony jutting out of the side of the mountain.” —ACOTAR chapter 46

Azriel first hearing Gwyn’s singing and his shadows sang in answer. 🎶

“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.” —ACOSF Azriel’s bonus chapter

Azriel finding himself in the library…

“Instead, he found himself at the library beneath the House of Wind,[…] 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.   But Azriel tucked away the thought, consciously erasing the slight smile it brought to his face. Buried the image down deep, where it glowed quietly. A thing of secret, lovely beauty.” —ACOSF Azriel’s Bonus Chapter

🕵🏻‍♀️Spying on the Spymaster👀

Scroll ➡️ for a surprise at the end 🤭

Uncensored is on my AO3: Cyrastory

POV: You arrive at the House of Wind, hoping to train with Nesta. The House appears empty until you hear the faint sound of a shower running [does Prythian have showers?].

Who could it be? You pass each room and find the House mostly quiet.

Nesta’s room first, then Cassian’s room…oh.

OH.

The Shadowsinger is here.

Naturally you peer in, praying his shadows won’t detect you. You wipe some of the steam away from the shower glass. Do you think he will catch you? 😏

Character is Azriel Shadowsinger from A Court of Thorns and Roses by Sarah J Maas (ACOTAR).
