I wish we knew more about Andras. I feel like he was most dehumanized in the book despite us knowing he’s fae. We never learn about who he is, what he looks like, what his relationships were like. He was just the wolf. Feyre never apologizes for his death. She has nightmares, which some might interpret as guilt, but beyond asking some minor questions to Lucien about what she was accused of, she doesn’t really think of Andras beyond being a wolf she killed.
I feel like he’s a ghost I wish I could contact because after everything that’s happened, Andras deserves more than being an afterthought.
At least with the Pack of Devils in CC, we learn a little about them and their preferences slightly so they feel like friends I could have made but didn’t get to see again. I feel like I know even less about Andras.
House of Earth and Blood might have the best ending out of any first book in a fantasy series yet. Everything came together perfectly and it was so wholesome. 10/10 would recommend.
there is NOTHING for Danika. Could you write one where the pack of devil's don't die and it's a W|W where reader was 6 months pregnant with Danikas child but it was the type of pregnancy where it doesn't show (Danika knows) and on a mission she gets shot in her hip causing an endorsed type of labour three months early (don't know if that's possible but oh well) so Danika had to 'deliver' it in a sence, but it only survives a few minutes and dies on readers chest so the day after Danika leaves the flat with the pack to hunt down the humans please? Also could there be a little bit of smut at the end? Xxx
No One Mourns the Wicked
Danika Fendyr x female reader (can be wolf-shifter or any other type of Valbaran species, even human).
Summary: You and your mate, Danika, focus on your growing future. As a result, this leads the two of you to eventually plan on having a child together with you carrying the baby.
At the 6th month mark, you are still barely showing. Making it possible for you to work up until your due date. However, an unexpected event leads to you delivering and losing the baby. After this, Danika and the Pack of Devils are left to hunt those who destroyed the little family that the two of you were to have.
A/N: Thank you ☺️ anon for this wonderful recommendation! Never written fem x fem or wlw relationships prior to this fic. Therefore, I wanted to make sure I took the time to do research to ensure I gave proper representation towards individuals in these relationships. Hopefully this fic meets your expectations/requirements.
P.S. Sorry if some of the medical lingo mentioned in this fic sound out of place.
Initially when you and Danika had discussed having a family together, there were a lot of things the two of you had to consider.
For starters, the two of you were females. While same-sex relationships are not taboo, they are still quite irregular in comparison to typical male-female relationships. The only same-sex relationship the two of you had known of prior to your relationship was Fury and Juniper’s. Nevertheless, the societal norms expected of you and Danika didn’t stop the two of you from pursuing what was meant to be between the two of you.
Another thing that needed to be considered was who was going to carry the baby as there was no way the two of you could biologically be a mother to your potential child. This made you sad. Not out of jealousy wanting your genes to be in the baby more than your mate’s but since you wanted both of you to be genetically linked to that child (and many more children that the two of you would plan to have).
Danika, moved by your thoughts, takes her hands into your own. Telling you that no matter which of your genes the baby has, the baby will be of you both. Of the love you both have for each other and eventually the baby in turn.
In the end, the two of you decided to pursue IVF. With your mate and your designated donor’s zygote being transferred into you as it would allow the two of you two be able to biologically contribute to the conception and development of your child.
Once the treatment is a success, the two of you share the news with your family and friends. Everyone, except for Danika’s parents, Sabine and Mordoc, was happy for the two of you. Especially her grandfather, the Prime of Valbaran Wolves, was thrilled to be expecting a great grandchild from his heir and her mate. Her mate being you, who he happened to dote on as if you were his granddaughter as well. In fact, Danika would joke that the Prime loved you just as much as he loved her and that’s because he had such a close bond with her already. Not only as heir but as granddaughter.
Over the next six months, you bask in your pregnancy. Despite the initial nerves and nausea that came, you enjoyed going to each appointment with Danika by your side knowing that your little girl was resting in there (even if she was barely showing). Waiting to be born and meet her two mothers as well as numerous aunts and uncles (from Bryce to the Pack of Devils) and many more extended family members.
——————————————————————
Today was supposed to be like any other day.
You were guarding this cute little tea shop and cafe. A place that you and Danika had frequented together since your pregnancy as you developed a penchant for lemon balm tea. A place owned by the middle-aged female deer-shifter couple, named Hazel and Rowan, who saw the two of you and took them under their wings. Offering the two of you advice and support groups for same-sex couples expecting and embracing family life. Overall, a safe place all and all minus a few recent thefts that started occurring. Hence, why you and Danika decided to help the couple who have become good friends and family to you both.
Instead, you were shot trying to stop a burglary caused by some humans who were followers of Phillip Briggs who were prejudiced. Not only against Vanir but same-sex relationships. Hence targeting the establishment of this lovely couple caused your mama bear instincts to come in.
Therefore, you step up and attempt to reason with the humans. However, one of them, a female, steps up and tries to make way to the cash register.
As you start fighting them for it, still trying to reason and plead with her, you still feel a sharp pain blossom in your abdomen.
You fall to the ground, trying to prevent yourself from injuring yourself even more. While Hazel walked towards your side to steady you, Rowan had cleared up the shop and closed early. After she called 911 and then Danika.
Danika, the Pack of the Devils, and Bryce Quinlan come before the ambulance. As Hazel and Rowan move out of the way to make room for Danika, she finds you to be surrounded in various fluids with many grunts of pain.
Realizing what is happening, Danika and Bryce help you deliver your daughter.
After about an hour, you finally give birth to your wailing daughter. A daughter with Danika’s silvery blonde corn silk hair and pale skin. A little small but beautiful, nonetheless. Belonging to you both.
As Danika cuts the cord, the ambulance gets there and helps move you and the baby onto a gurney and to the hospital. Just to ensure that everything is okay for both of you.
Once you and Danika are in the ambulance, with your loved ones following you three to the hospital, both you and Danika smile at one another before you look down towards your baby.
“Just think, Dani. After today, we will go home as a family. The three of us,” You beam with joy.
Danika smiles and nods, kissing your forehead. “I’m so proud of you. Not only do I have a brave and specular mate but a beautiful daughter as well.”
The three sit in the ambulance as you are all taken to the hospital.
“Just one more step, and we’ll be home soon, little one,” you coo to your daughter.
——————————————————————
Unfortunately, that never happened.
When you all made it to the hospital, the baby’s vitals had started going bad. Panicking, you look at the hospital staff and beg them to save your daughter.
Despite your pleas and the staff's hard work to save your child, your daughter sadly lost her life.
While you cried, Danika cursed and punched the wall before hugging you. As you wailed, Danika continued to hold your shaking body.
“I…failed her. I …failed …. our daughter,” you say, hiccuping the words out.
Danika shushes you, saying that none of this was your fault. That you spent the whole pregnancy protecting your daughter and that you had done just that.
Eventually, the two of you were able to hold your daughter one more time before planning her sailing ceremony. Naming her Lyra Grey Fendyr.
As you, Danika, and your loved ones watch the lit boat sail away from you towards the river. Away from you all. Of the life that she should have had and lived.
As tears continued to pour down your face, Danika held your hand. The two of you are silent as your daughter leaves this world to enter the next.
_________________________________________
6 months later….
Danika comes into your shared apartment, bloodied and riled up.
After months of clockwork, Danika and the Pack of Devils found the group of human scum that were the ones who hurt you, her, Luna.
Still thinking about Luna made Danika’s heart break.
She would have been three months today, Danika remembered your voice echoing from the morning’s conversation.
And you, you were taking all this pretty hard. Though you tried to put on a brave face, Danika could tell that you had cried the whole night while she worked as a security guard after her main job.
Therefore, Danika had made sure that Bryce or someone from the pack came by to check in on you.
Nevertheless, all that time away from you led to everything that occurred tonight.
While Danika may have gone too far with how she handled those bastards, it was worth putting them through the pain that you both had gone through. A life for a life. Or lives in this scenario.
Danika finally finds you sitting in a bathtub filled with bubbles.
Seeing the steam coming from the tub, Danika could tell you just entered.
The wolf-shifter sits on the toilet seat next to you. There is silence before Danika says the words that are on her mind.
“It’s done. Those human bastards… They are dead.”
Silence persists for a few more moments. In that amount of time, Danika starts to wonder whether what she had done was wrong as you never liked violence. Instead, you preferred to deal with things peacefully. However, you never held it against her that her job required there to be instances where killing was necessary.
The silence is then broken as you face her. “Is it true?”
Danika nods, bringing you in for a hug as you cry. She doesn’t care that bubbly water is getting on her leather jacket. Rather, she brings your naked body closer as the two of you can finally breathe easily as justice was brought to you both, the daughter you lost, and the future that would never be.
You remove yourself from Danika’s hold to look her in the eyes. “Could you join me tonight?”
Danika smiles. This is the first time in three months that you initiated intimacy between you two. Despite Danika wanting to give you the space to mourn and be a supportive mate, she missed being intimate with you. You asking seemed like a step in the right direction.
It isn’t long that the two of you are in the tub together. You sit in between Danika’s legs. The two of you sit in comfortable silence with whispers of sweet nothings and promise to continue building a family together. That Lyra is not here with you both physically doesn’t mean she isn’t and won’t ever be a part of your family.
The two of you make a promise to tell your future children about Lyra. Their elder sister who was taken so soon brought so much happiness in the little time that she was given.
thinking about how no one (ithan i’m looking at you) had any right to be mad at bryce for hooking up with someone just because she agreed to a date with connor???
it was a date, not dating, not exclusive, not a couple. you can go on dates with multiple people and it’s not being disloyal because you’re not together
i know “but they’re wolves and loyalty is important to them” blah blah blah. bryce isn’t a wolf. she can’t be held to those standards because they ARENT HERS and it’s not fair for them to expect her to act like a wolf when she isn’t
and, ithan is completely uninvolved. none of his business
