Day One of Feyre Week - 03/18 Lady of Many Faces:
The power did not belong to the High Lords. Not any longer.
It belonged to me—as I belonged only to me, as my future was
mine to decide, to forge.
Once I discovered and mastered what the others had given me, I
could weave them together—into something new, something of
every court and none of them.

day 9: music
summary: I rewrote the end of Azriels bonus chapter to be just a little more focused on music
She shrugged, irrevernetly. Az narrowed his eyes, studying her. “Do you, though?” she pressed. “Sing.”
Azriel couldn’t help his soft chuckle. “Yes.” Gwyn began to turn away from him, refocusing to the ribbon but a question formed on his lips before he could stop it. “Do you?” He asked.
Her eyes widened a little, “Yes.” She tucked a red strand behind her ear. “I used to sing more.” Gwyn’s voice softened into a whisper.
Azriel understood the small confession and remained a distance away, “Me too.”
She didn’t look at him only stared at her blurry reflection in the swords gleam. “It is hard sometimes,” Gwyn held the sword in the air. “When the thing that brings you the most comfort is also a reminder of what you have lost.”
“It is.” Azriel responded. He watched her as she aimed to bring her weapon down on the ribbon and decided he could offer her a truth for her truth, “But I like that about music,” Gwyn paused, turning to hear the quiet rumble of his voice. “It will never be just one thing.”
“I like that about music too,” Gwyn smiled, and the corners of his mouth raised in response. “There is the music of sorrow and tragedy.”
His shadows curled around his neck, watching this peculiar girl in front of Azriel. “And the melodies of healing and peace.
“Songs for joy and dancing.” She added.
“For love.” He said thoughtlessly and saw her blush a little in response.
“For love.” She agreed. She tilted her head at him, eyes so full of curiosity and said “Good night Azriel.”
“Good night Gwyn.” Azriel walked away from her, the image of her smile still following him. But Azriel tucked away the thought, consciously erasing the slight smile it brought to his face. Buried it deep down, where it glowed quietly.
A thing of secret, lovely beauty.

I’m such a hater every day of canon Cassian but I just know the second we get dropped back into a narrative that isn’t Nessian-focused I’ll be obsessed with them again.
Like that’s the secret sauce here.
I want external Nessian. When you look too close it’s shatters. But from the outside?
We’re gonna be knee deep in Azriel’s book and he’ll get mad at Rhys over something and fly back to the house of wind only to scoff his disgust at Cassian pulling Nesta into his lap and laughing into her hair while she bats at his arms and tries to go to Azriel. Cassian will keep one arm around her waist even as he rises with her, eyes serious. Focused on his brother. Body unable to pull away from his mate for even a second. Nesta will pretend to be annoyed but as soon as anyone turns their back they catch her winding a hand around his neck, keening into his touch. Everyone expected the two most ferocious fae to have the loudest love, but everything between them is quiet. Unspoken words and soft touches. Their love is not a thing on display, it is a quiet, constant presence.
And then I’ll forget everything and be obsessed like the little hypocrite I am thanks!!

ok I don’t really wanna argue about this so i’m just gonna keep it simple and give a little bit more context
1. i’ve been here for what like 5 years? so i’ve seen every part of the ship war
2. the first part is a response to a whole bunch of people who seem to think that by continuously talking about and shitting on the other side they are not adding to the problem
and since it’s way more than just 2 or 3 and i’m not going to call them out by name??? gwynriels is the easiest term. sorry if you think that applies to everyone but it doesn’t just the people that keep talking about e/riels like their lives depend on it
3. about the sword. i’m sorry I should have written “in my opinion” it’s staying with nesta
calling me wrong for an opinion seems like a you problem tho
4. the necklace. I agree with you but tbh I just needed more points so I added it. most of my opinions after the first one are not the same energy. they’re more theories I disagree with as a gwynriel myself. the first one is annoyance at a lot of hypocrisy I see here
5. saying eluciens deny the existence (generalization)
6. again about gwyn rhys brotp not sure what you’re talking about here because again it’s a theory that like you said a lot of gwynriels love and I just don’t see it
what’s the issue?
7. yes i’m aware that it was originally a gwynriel theory. once again this is not an attack on the shippers, it’s a response to some theories i’ve seen that I disagree with
the first one is my opinion on the shippers, which trust I used to spend a lot of my time shitting on e/riels so I get it, but at this point a lot of people have to realize that they’re gonna say shitty things and us calling them out is gonna do absolutely nothing until the book comes out
anyways I want you to know I am very pro gwynriel and have been for years and this was just an outlet to show my frustration with a lot of ppl in this fandom who don’t realize they are adding to the problem
the rest, like I said, just unpopular opinions on popular theories
anyways not trying to start a conflict on my own side but yea i’m sorry if it wasn’t worded in a way to convey what I was actually thinking
unpopular (potentially) opinions about the gwynriels
1. “gwynriels are super consistent while e/riels keep changing it up” or “e/riels are super consistent while gwynriels keep changing it up”
see this is so annoying to me because these ppl are talking a bunch of separate theories from individual people and then acting like they found some inconsistency across the whole group of people
like ppl can have different theories even if they want the same outcome? the generalizations are just so unnecessary and pointing out contradicting theories made by different people and calling them delusional is not the serve you think it is
2. e/riel 4 books of build up
I think sjm toyed with the idea of them. me personally I thought they had the chemistry of a stale breadstick but I definitely saw the hints she was laying to either you know add more external problems with elucien or actually have them end up together
and azriel noticing elain was a seer does mean something. it may not be that they are true mates and belong together but it’s still could be used as a detail to foreshadow them if sjm wants to go that route
3. gwyn and gwyndion
I also noticed the name thing
but that sword is going to and staying with nesta
4. the necklace
not that big of a deal at all
gwyn is not going to beat the shit out of azriel for a necklace
5. gwyn and rhys brotp
eh I just don’t really see it
6. gwyn is not a lightsinger
bro I hope she is
that’s so badass
ok thats it!

SJM writes stories about women overcoming their fears and finding other female characters and building a better world - and yet, I see an alarming amount of people being misogynistic and sexist towards the very same characters they read about.
Claiming Feyre is a bad painter when there's literally no evidence for it, calling her boring for choosing motherhood, calling her weak for having a human heart (something she is PRAISED for by everyone else), trying to blame her for everything her abuser did; Discrediting Morrigan and claiming she lied, giving Eris the benefit of the doubt therefore making Mor into the bad guy; Claiming Elain is a wh*re, a b*tch because she has a mate she doesn't care about but for some reason she has to be faithful to him, she has to reject him, ACCEPT him when all we've seen is her discomfort around him. Claiming she isn't good enough for a man because, supposedly, she can't have his babies; calling her useless because she doesn't want to use violence; Unfortunately, there are many other examples I could name.
Please note that the male characters are NEVER the object of such criticism - in fact, people will doubt the women who told showed us men are abusers and do everything in their power to believe them instead, ignoring the very canon content the author wrote herself ("there's definitely more to it!"; "feyre is an unreliable narrator!"; "why should we believe mor?")
And now, with HOFAS nearly out, I keep seeing people wanting Bryce to hate Elain? To be a bitch to Mor and Feyre? Where in the books did you ever get the impression any of these female characters would hate each other?
I genuinely never expected to see so much misoginy when I first joined a book fandom where female characters are literally the focus of everything. What saddens me the most is how much these ideas seem to be growing instead of disappearing.
You all need to grow up.

Hi! Can you elaborate in the fourth point (gwyn + Rhys friendship)? Do you think that their similarities are a coincidence?
yes I can :)
it’s not that I don’t think they have some similarities
its more just based on vibes I don’t think they have the same brotp energy as feyre and cassian or nesta and azriel
like if they end up being besties i’m not against it I just don’t really see it happening
also not sure if you’ve been around my blog before but I am a strong believer and enforcer of the rhysta agenda and I would much rather them be friends than gwyn and rhys 🤞

day 7? poetry
headcanon that azriel mr doesn’t have to resort to poetry is freaking out because his broody stoicism isn’t working on gwyn so he tries to show her a song he wrote
and it is trash like god awful like so bad it’s good he’s pretty
and gwyn laughs at him and they sit at the piano all night long rewriting the song until they both fall asleep
and what do you know gwyn and azriel are beginning to fall in love and they don’t even realize it

Day 8 - Poetry for @gwynrielweeksofficial
" A faint beautiful singing followed him and he could have sworn his shadows sang back in Answer "
If Gwyn making the shadowsingers shadows sing isn't poetic I don't know what is .....
Gwyn and Az are written in a way that their dynamic in itself is poetic, they both channel their magic with a stone that's blue - one with Healing power one with killing ... she is the saint to his sinner, the healer to his torturer, the holy to his unholy, the light to his darkness ..... whats beautiful is they are the perfect balance of opposites yet their journeys have been similar.
@lunart.s thank you so so so much for taking my concept and giving me this exceptionally beautiful piece of art.... its been such a pleasure working with you and I do look forward to working with you in the future too.

bonus
all the men participate
for the women the only job: make their man lose
My personal headcanon is that Cassian dedicates himself fully to No Nut November every year and either loses immediately or wins the whole thing

Nesta: Acceptable names for the buff bat brute are "you" and "that one". I will hear no further opinions on the matter.
Feyre: Cassian thought he was gonna die and proclaimed his only regret was not having had enough time with you.
Nesta: Ah, yes... "that one".
