Elain could be Mean...

(To Gwyn, because of ✨️Azriel✨️)

On a quiet afternoon in the library below the House of Wind, Elain Archeron sat with a book in one of the alcoves between the stacks. Gwyneth Berdara was close by on a ladder, passing volumes from her cart to high above shelves. It was common for both females to spend their afternoons in the peace and quiet of this sacred space. They only rarely sought each other out, but often crossed paths; and though she couldn’t speak for Gwyn, Elain would say that she found the company companionable enough.

Before I continue, I should clarify two things:

1. Elain Archeron was deeply acquainted with peace and quiet, but many were mistaken to believe she preferred them. 2. Gwynneth Berdara and Elain Archeron were not friends.

Gwyn was Nesta’s friend. Elain and the other female were considerate of each other, and she was glad to know where to find the priestess if she ever needed help tracking down a reference, but that was the abject extent of their relationship. They were little more than acquaintances, with a few mutual friends who happened to run into each other often. Azriel was one such mutual friend… was, because he’d made himself scarce since the Winter Solstice three years ago.

Someone who sets aside their envy to make a friend is lovely and virtuous. Elain was lovely, but she was not virtuous. Elain was bitter, even though she knew the distance with Azriel wasn’t Gwyn’s fault. It didn’t matter that it wasn’t her fault, because Gwynneth Berdara was fucking Azriel, and Elain Archeron was not even allowed to be his friend. Like most things in her life, the people around her thought they knew better when in fact they knew nothing at all. Thus, rather than abase herself to becoming a sycophant for every waking moment of her suffocating life, Elain tolerated peace with her sisters’ friends and settled for quiet solitude away from the maddening crowd. Elain had her quiet gardens, and she had her peaceful association with Gwyn at the library. The path Elain walked was narrow, but it was also straight forward; her place in obscurity was not such a hard thing to maintain.

Today, however, Azriel had stopped by the river house reeking of Gwyn and Elain was craving violence. She was fiending to inflict a slight so subtle that an onlooker would doubt themselves by thinking, “She looks lovely, so I’m sure her intent was also virtuous.” There is a malevolence that cultivates in a person's heart, when injustices not forgotten turn sour.

“Did you know that there are parasitic plants that grow on the plateau by Sangravah?” Elain kept her eyes on her book. It was a thick reference text that contained many kinds of plants from many places; none of them parasitic or from Sangravah.

She could sense the priestess eyeing her as a heavily robed arm reached to reshelve another tome. “Is that so…”

Ignoring Gwyn’s clear disinterest in the topic, Elain took it upon herself to educate the researcher. “The Dodder plant, also known as Devil’s Net, is blown in the breeze until it finds its prey. They feed on the plant they attach to, producing thread-like stems and seeds that strangle the life out of the host before catching on the wind to seek out their next victim.”

When Gwyn didn’t respond, Elain closed her book primly and made a harmless tilt of her head as she looked towards the nymph. “Aren’t you from Sangravah? I wonder if you’re familiar with the concept.”

Gwyn’s expression was one that Elain recognized, as she continued to shelve books without glancing back. Gwyn was second-guessing how she’d understood the words. “Plant,” she would assure herself, “She meant to ask if I was familiar with the plant.”

A strained smile crossed the priestess’ face as she descended the ladder and pulled her cart out, readying to move to another level. “Never heard of it,” Gwyn said, which was reasonable since she had already confessed she knew nothing of parasitic plants. Gwyn would know nothing about Devil's Nets that sprouted in Sangravah, then were carried all the way to Velaris in the arms of winds that thought they knew better.

Elain waited several minutes after Gwyn left before gathering her things and returning up to the surface. Nesta might be around the House if she was lucky. Wherever Nesta was, Cassian wouldn’t be far off, who she needed if she wanted to return to the city. Elain did not want to pretend at peace when Azriel returned to the House of Wind, still stinking of Gwynneth Dodder-ing Berdara.

Needed a break from my main fic, so I've been playing around with concepts for my next projects...

Nesta, Emerie & Gwynn - The Valkyries born anew

(Spoilers ahead)

Aaaaand another one I desperately needed to get out my system 💕 as much as I loved Nesta’s and Cassian’s relationship, the most important one was definitely the ones between those three women who found a bond infinitely deeper than just love. I loved everything about their friendship, their sisterhood, their rebuilding of an ancient order of warriors, taking back what was rightfully theirs and making it truly theirs. A place to heal. A place to find love again. A place to forgive. And a place to kick some serious ass. No really, towards the end I was like get out cassian I need to know what’s going on with my girls okayyyy x)

Again, please do not repost. Don’t interact to spew hate, anti bullshit, and discourse. Thank you very much.

I never do this, but my cup is runneth over everything I’ve been seeing on various platforms and there is the deal:

Gwynneth Berdara

will NOT

become friends with Rhys, a High Lord of Prythian

they will not be talking and bonding over their trauma and their beheaded sisters and their rape

she will not be babysitting Nyx--he has a mother, a father, aunts, nannies who are all ahead of Gwyn on babysitting duties

she will not become best friends with Feyre

she will not be painting with Feyre in her studio

she is not Azriel’s mate

she will not be braiding his hair, putting eyeliner on him, giggling or making friendship bracelets with him

she will not have kinky, or otherwise sex with him

his shadows do not ‘love’ her

she will not become a spy

she will not befriend Nuala and Cerridwen

she will not bake cookies or bread with them

her ‘flower’ is not a rose

she does not smell of jasmine

she will not ‘save’ Illyria

she will not defeat Koschei

she will not free the women that he’s keeping on his island

she will not find any Trove items

she will not be ‘challenging’ Rhys, or Az to anything--sparring, games, jokes, etc.

she will not be joking and playing around with them, and they will not trust or open up to her about their ‘trauma’

she will not reunite LoA and Helion (wtf???)

she will not encourage Mor to come out

she will not be doing puzzles with Amren

she will not be participating in the annual snowball fight

she will not grow wings (?) and go flying with Azriel and Cassian

she will not be ruling Dusk Court

she will not miraculously cure Azriel’s trauma--it’s 540 years old, it’s not going anywhere. He is not going to be cured by anyone.

she will not bear Azriel’s winged children with her amazingly pliant bones

the next book will not be a Gwyn book

no book will be a Gwyn book

she is a secondary character in Nesta’s novel. She might be a lightsinger. She may do some Valkyrie-related things. That’s it.

Head canons are totally cool. We all have them. But sometimes, we all have to distinguish between canon and a head canon.
