“I’m always searching for something, for someone. This feeling has possessed me I think, from that day…That day when the stars came falling.” (Your Name) ✨
Two souls connected by fate, but separated by time and space… In the anime Your Name, the red string of fate is used to symbolize the invisible bond linking the two main characters across time and space. In ancient East Asian mythology, two people connected by the red string of fate are destined lovers, regardless of place, time, or circumstances. This magical cord may stretch or tangle, but never break. We loved this anime so much, and couldn’t help but wonder what it would look like in the Maasverse… where instead of a red thread, mates are linked with “gold thread between their souls.”
“You’ve been here this whole time?” (House of Flame and Shadow)💫
Art by @gabrielleragusi !! Gabrielle, thank you SO much for bringing this epic cross-over scene to life. You captured everything we hoped for and more… like the emotion on their faces (Azriel’s yearning is next-level), the subtle glow emanating from Bryce, the stunning “wyrdgate” archway details, the misty veil between them, and the beautiful cities of Lunathion and Velaris in the background. We are so grateful for you, thank you thank you thank you! 💖
