Rowaelin Wedding

So I was looking for a good Rowaelin wedding fic from Empire of Storms and decided to write one myself! I would love to hear your thought/feedback, and as always, thank you to Sarah J Maas for writing these beautiful stories! P.S. This is Aelin’s wedding dress in the story!

Rowan felt her eyes on his face before he opened his. When he turned to look at her, she was lying on the small bed beside him, head propped up on a hand as she studied him.

“Fireheart, what’s wrong?”

He saw something flicker in her eyes, a flash of fear, but it disappeared just as fast, replaced with a look of such pure love that it took Rowan’s breath away. He reached over to touch her; to remind him this wasn’t a dream. She leaned into his hand as it cupped her cheek, closing her eyes. He was hers, and she was his.

“Marry me”, she whispered.

Cute little darling Enjolras and punk Grantaire ending up in detention and the teacher behind the desk leans toward R and goes "so you're the one that vandalized the whole hallway on the third floor?" and Grantaire just blinks and "no sir I was late to class for a whole week", and Enjolras grins and sets his hands on the desk and "that would be me, sir".

my favourite bizarre arthurian facts to drop on unsuspecting people:

lancelot was very literally raised in a lake

gawain has a talking fox sidekick who shows him how to cross the river of the dead

morgan le fay’s best frenemy/gf is an ancient greek oracle who slept with alexander the great

gawain has to investigate his own murder not once but THREE times because people just will not stop faking his death

arthur has a pet parrot

one time mordred ate a dead body

gawain said he wanted to be turned into a maiden to be able to love lancelot as a maiden could. he was very high on painkillers at the time

lancelot’s birth name is galahad and his son’s name is galahad and his ex-boyfriend’s name is galehaut and his grandfather’s name is lancelot and his uncle’s name is bors and his cousin’s name is also bors.

there are upwards of ten characters named yvain

gawain was kidnapped by pirates as a child. this explains a lot about him i think

look i know its a basic one but the absolute shock that ppl go through when i say lancelot was raised in a lake? like IN a lake? classic. timeless. theres a reason i listed it first and it bears repeating. the man is aquatic

Thing is is, as much m/f that is produced in the world, as a bi woman, sometimes I want to see a man fall in love with an obviously queer woman. I want to see a man realizing that the woman he is interested in is gnc and that isn't going to change.

[gendernoncompliantbi]

And women fall for GNC men! I want women who are enamored with their soft queer lover.

I want to see masc/masc and fem/fem m/f ships. Wlm and mlw can and should be queer in media.

[gendernoncompliantbi]

You know what, Im seeing my own post again and wanna say.... I wanna see queer makeover scenes and I wanna see the love interest gush.

I want the nerdy conservatively dressed girl bestfriend get her hair done and her fancy clothes on and she appears in a pressed suit. And I want the love interest to loose his breath because she's so handsome in a bow tie and slacks.

I want the guy in a skirt or a dress, I want his love interest so blown away by the way his nylons look.

I wanna see the girl give the boy a corsage.

I want gnc bi love. I want gnc love period ngl.

hiya! some angst prompts for all the writers who like inflicting pain on their readers (:

“i can’t do this now. not– not today.”

“maybe if you actually listened to me–”

“no. no– this is on you.”

“i don’t want to lose you.”

“you know those words mean nothing coming from you, right?”

“i wanted to spend my life with you.”

“this used to be our song–” “don’t.”

“we used to be happy.” / "we were happy once."

“i’ll fix this. i’ll fix us. just– please.”

“do you know how suffocating this is?”

“you shouldn’t have come here.”

“i want to know you” and/or “why won’t you let me know you?”

“i’m sorry.” “you should be.”

“maybe this wasn’t the love that was meant to be.”

“you don’t get to do this to me. not anymore.”

“there’s not going to be a next time.”

“this isn’t love.”

“i would have taken a bullet for you.”

“you had/have no right!”

"i want you to stop touching me."

Making an 1890s Symington Pretty Housemaid Corset - Part 2

Last time I only had half of the corset "done", or better, sewn together, so now I had to do the other half. Surprisingly, it didn’t take me nearly as long to do it as it did the first time, probably because I realized I wasn’t using the sewing machine properly. So now I’m hoping that my thread will look much better and won’t create any bumps in my future projects! The more you know.

But anyways - as promised, I then took care of those side seam boning channels that I did wrong the first time. For that, I cut out two bands on the bias, pressed them and sewed them on top of the already exisiting channels. Of course, when I measured the width I didn’t keep in mind that I had to have some sort of allowance for the stitching but after an hour of pushing the boning in with all of my strength I finally got it into the channel. The second one I made slightly bigger. Lesson learned!

Then it was time for the boning. I still have more than enough cable binders so I’m using those but I’ve looked into buying actual corsetry boning, maybe if a future corset explicitly requires steel I’ll try working with it.

I always clip the cable binders with nail clippers into the right length and keep the raw edges rounded so they don’t poke through the seams. Then I usually wrap the raw ends in insulation tape, or what I called insulation tape in my stays post but recently found out it’s actually sealing strip. It’s much better and easier to work with than actual insulation tape, but I ran out of it halfway through and used insulation tape on some and nothing on others when I felt like the edges weren’t too sharp.

Then I had to put the busk in. And let me tell you... Don’t be like me. Just... please learn from my mistakes, it’ll save you so much time! I had already sewn the front pieces to the rest of the corset, which I shouldn’t have done. You need to be able to turn your fabric inside out to sew the edge by machine. But I didn’t, so I ended up spending a long time trying to sew that seam from the outside. in the end it looked alright but it’s so time consuming and it’s the exact same effect.

But you’ll have to sew the busk in place by hand or you’ll be really really careful and slow doing it with a sewing machine. My needle got on the busk after three stitches and broke, so then I decided to just hand stitch it all.

And then it was done - two halves of a corset.

Now I’ve continued working on it, but I’ll write about it in my next update. But I’m doing the canvas lining and eyelets next. I’ve had to order the eyelets because this whole time I was under the impression I still had enough but turns out you need double the amout for both sides, and I only have enough for one. So whenever that gets delivered, I’ll make the next update!
