GWYN WEEK 2022 - DAY 5
@gwynweek2022
HOPES AND THEORIES - Az and Gwyn r mates
I think its more an educated guess than technically a theory for anyone who has read all of SJMs books to see the pattern in assuming Gwyn and Azriel are mates.
I don't believe in reinventing the wheel , we have some amazing posts by fellow gwynriels drawing parallels from other end game couples and the language used to describe mates. You can find the link to one of them below
Gwynriel Week - Song of Soulmates 🎶 The parallels between Gwynriel and SJM’s other endgame couples. Gwyn + Azriel Something sparked in Azri
My hope would be that both Gwyn and Azriel have a wonderful journey filled with growth and healing.
My hope would be that they first fall in love without knowing about being mates. I do suspect Gwyn may know it and I would prefer Gwyn knowing about it before Azriel.
My theory is that it will be a friends to idiots to lovers story.
My theory is that Gwyn will have a significant role in the illyrian plot as one of the Valkyries who won the blood rite and also in the autumn court plot line due to her autumn heritage.
Here is my commission for Day 5 - A gwynriel piece with their aesthetic of the night and the moon. Artist is @sketchaday (instagram) .
Azriel: Please, I sleep with Truth-Teller under my pillow.
Rhys: Weak. I sleep with a sword under mine.
Cassian: *snorts* You're both pathetic.
Rhys: Oh, really? And what killer weapon do you sleep with Mr. Badass?
Cassian: Nesta.
The newest season of Bridgerton has pushed me too far so I need to get something off my chest, I need showrunners, and screenwriters, and anyone involved with putting a piece of media together to know that predictable does not mean boring.
Production quality of TV and movies has been getting better and better. Costumes and sets are more intricate than ever, but the writing keeps getting worse. Using Bridgerton as an example, the book that season two was based on was one of the most, if not the most, popular book in Julia Quinn’s eight book series, and Kate, hands-down, the most loved heroine. Yet barely anything from the book managed to make its way on to the show, which isn’t necessarily bad on its own, but when compared with how closely the first season followed its corresponding book, even going so far as to include a widely controversial r*pe scene, it seems odd. So far my only explanations for the changes that were made from page to the screen are, the writers didn’t want to keep the same pacing as season one, i.e. they didn’t want to have Anthony and Kate be forced into marriage half way through the season as it was too similar to Daphne and Simon, or they wanted people to be surprised by season two by making changes to the very nature of Anthony and Kate’s relationship. Either way, from where I’m standing, the writers didn’t want to be predictable, they wanted season two to be new and fresh and exciting, but they missed the point of why people loved Kate and Anthony’s story completely.
Most of the changes that were made changed Kate and Anthony’s story beyond recognition. Everything that made them special was removed, and those holes were filled with catty arguments between sisters and friends. Kate’s relationship with her stepmother, Mary, and her struggle with losing her biological mother at an age where the memory of her was almost, but not quite, there. Mary’s insistence that Kate is every bit the daughter to her that Edwina is and going out of her way to make Kate see that. Edwina, looking up to and understanding her sister without malice, because Edwina works just as hard to ensure Kate’s happiness as Kate works to ensure Edwina’s. Edwina’s feeling of duty being the driving force between her courtship with Anthony, not that contrived, Edwina falling in love with Anthony storyline. Anthony’s fear of death and leaving behind a widow, which was mentioned then promptly forgotten by everyone, including Anthony. And the thing that hurts me the most, the removal of Kate’s entire personality.
The Kate of The Viscount Who Loved Me was fun and insecure and responsible and weird and happy. The Kate of Bridgerton was just a female version of Anthony, stoic, the weight of the world on her shoulders, not someone who smiles easily. These aren’t scenes that I missed from the book, they’re pivotal relationships and traits that made these characters who they were, that made Kanthony who they were. But they were removed for the sake of shock value, taking advantage of the fans who were waiting for their favourite moments, consistently teasing the first Kanthony kiss but not providing it until the very end of episode six in a way that was loving and tender, not the passionate hate-to-want-you that their relationship was founded on. Removing Mary, almost completely, so that Lady Danbury would have more screen time, but not filling the emotional hole that that left in Kate so when Edwina turned on her, she was left with no one in her corner. Reducing Kate’s character to helicopter-parenting Edwina, which allowed for Edwina’s development, but not much for Kate’s. I have a thousand issues with season two of Bridgerton, but the destruction of one of my favourite romantic heroines so that she would be in a love triangle with her sister is the biggest, hands down.
I’m tired of everyone’s fear of spoilers. In most cases knowing something is going to happen in a show or movie shouldn’t diminish your enjoyment of the thing, if it’s done well knowing about it in advance doesn’t matter. People don’t tune in to adaptations to be surprised, they tune in to see stories that they love brought to life and treated with respect and care. The casting, the costumes, the sets, were all amazing, but the writing of season two was just a big fuck you to fans of The Viscount Who Loved Me and good characterization alike.
O agree.

Really don't like how they changed Edwina in the show. Edwina could tell there was something between Kate and Anthony from a mile away.
Instead we got this ridiculous love triangle that kind of ruined the season for me 🙃
It's always the males who go bezerk and possessive over the mating bond.
But that's what I love about Gwynriel. We all know Gwyn's gonna be the feral one.
After they consummate the bond, I can see Gwyn giving all the priestesses a talking to about how Az is off-limits now and she better not catch any of them sighing after him.
And Helion. Well, when he flirts with Az and Gwyn hears it...that High Lord best run the other direction.
And Az is just grinning at his girl, realizing how in love with her he is.
¡Yes, please!
Endgame Relationships
Rowaelin
Rowan made her magic sing. And maybe that was the carranam bond between them, but...her magic wanted to dance with his. And from the frost sparkling in his eyes, she knew his own demanded the same.
He still needed it. When they'd finished after that first time, he'd been left reeling, to pull his sanity back together after the joining that had...unleashed him. Broken and remade him. His magic had been a song, and she had been...
Elorcan
Lorcan's tongue brushed against the seam of her mouth, and Elide marveled at how natural it felt to open for him, how her body sang at the contact, his hardness against her softness. Lorcan groaned at the first caress of his tongue against her own, his hips grinding against hers in a way that made heat scorch through her, made her own body undulate against his in answer and demand.
Quinlar
Bryce pressed closer to study the photo on his phone, the heat of her body a beckoning song. He kept perfectly still, refusing to heed it, as she lifted her head. "That camera there," she said, pointing to one of the ten mounted on the Gate itself. "That's the one that got the little blur."
Nessian
Nesta didn't, couldn't, move as Cassian leaned to whisper in her ear, “The first time I saw that look on your face, you were still human. Still human, and I nearly went to my knees before you.” His breath caressed the shell of her ear and she couldn't stop her eyes from fluttering shut. His smile brushed against her temple. “Your power is a song, and one I've waited a very, very long time to hear, Nesta.” Her back arched slightly at the way he said her name, the way he bit out the second syllable. Like he was imagining clamping his teeth down on other parts of her. But only her hand bridged their bodies. Only her hand, now bunching up his shirt, his thundering heartbeat pulsing beneath it.
She whispered, "And I am yours." Those golden threads between their very souls shone with the words, as if they formed a harp strummed by a heavenly hand.
For it was music between their souls. Always had been. And his voice was her favorite melody.
The golden threads shimmered and sang, and she couldn't take it, the music between their souls, the feel of his body on her and in her, and -
Cassian roared as he came, and the sound was the summons of a hunt, a symphony, a single clear horn playing as dawn broke over the world.
Gwynriel
"How was the party?" Her breath curled in front of her mouth, and one of his shadows darted out to dance with it before twirling back to him. Like it heard some silent music.
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.
Az's shadows danced around him. "Since there's no chance in hell any of you will finish the course, we didn't bother to get a prize."
Gwynriel 4ever!
