Follow Gwyn, Azriel and their twins as they get ready for the day.

Read on Ao3

7.10 am

Gwyn is pulled from her sleep by the bouncing movement of the mattress. She does not have to look to know that this is caused by two little ones jumping on her bed. She cracks open an eye to see Azriel already looking at her with sleep in his eyes and a smile. Considering their lack of sleep for the past three years, both of them deserves at least several weeks of rest. But that will probably have to wait until their twins are fully grown adults.

‘’Daddy wake up,’’ Catrin shouts in Azriel face when he closes his eyes again. As always, their twins decide to divide and conquer. Catrin starts tapping on Azriel’s face with her tiny hands while Eli grabs one of Gwyn’s arms. ‘’Mommy we have to gooo,’’ he complains as he pulls with all his force.

Like all Saturdays, all the kids of the Inner Circle spend the day together. Sometimes it is at Feyre’s painting studio, sometimes they come to Azriel and Gwyn’s Beach House, other times it is at the House of Wind. Today, they will all go to Elain and Lucien’s private house in the Day Court where Elain, Nesta and Gwyn will be babysitting while the rest of the Inner Circle are busy with their respective duties. Catrin and Eliot have been so excited about this trip that it was the only reason that has led them to go to bed early last night.

When Catrin starts poking her finger in her father’s eyes, Azriel grabs her and pulls her in his arms. Their winged daughter giggles when Azriel places kisses all over her face and belly. Seeing all the fun they are having, Eli releases Gwyn’s arms to throw himself on Azriel. Gwyn beams at the sight of her mate being attacked by their children. Unable to resist, Gwyn grabs her son and joins them in their battle of cuddles.

7.30 am

Azriel opens his mouth to take the strawberry that Eli is handing him with sticky fingers. On the opposite side of the table, Gwyn scoops yogurt off of Catrin’s pyjamas after the little girl has insisted that she can eat on her own.

‘’I want to see the pegasi,’’ Cat says, brushing her hair out of her face and spreading yogurt in it in the process.

‘’What about you,’’ Azriel asks his son as he lifts him up to place him on his lap. Once Eli gets comfortable, he goes back to digging his favourite fruits out of the bowl and feeding the rest to his father. And so breakfast is spent with Cat and Eli talking about what they will do once they are in the Day court.

7.55 am

Azriel takes his shower while Gwyn helps Eli and Cat pick an outfit for the day. If he did not have to leave for a mission, Azriel would have already started to tidy up the house. With two active children, their house often looks like a storm has come and knocked everything out of place. They had planned to clean up a little last night after their kids had gone to bed. But their late night cleaning up has instead turned into other late night activities. Ones that has led to more mess but in their own bedroom. Thank the mother and the cauldron that they have dressed up again after since they have forgotten to lock the door. On the mornings when Catrin and Eli would come to their parent’s room and find that it’s locked, they would knock and call for them on the other side of the door until someone eventually lets them in. Neither of their parents complain about it though.

In the children’s shared room, Eli settles for a black t-shirt and pair of light grey shorts. The only thing he has gotten from his mother is Gwyn’s red hair and his lack of wings. Apart from those, Eli is the portrait of his dad. They even have similar preferences in clothes. Cat, the more bubbly twin, goes for a green floral dress.

‘’I want gween because Lulu likes gween,’’ Catrin says in that funny way of hers. She has always had a soft spot for Lucien, or Lulu as Cat and Eli likes to call him.

‘’Okay then,’’ she looks at her twins after laying the clothes on their beds, ‘’Who will go first?’’

8.10 am

After Azriel is ready, Gwyn hands him Eliot while she takes care of Catrin in the bathroom. Azriel takes the opportunity to reduce as much of the mess around the house as possible. Azriel picks up all the books and toys lying around to put them back where they belong. Eli starts to help by carrying some of the toys but ends up being more interested in playing with the toys than putting them away.

8.25 am

When Gwyn comes out of the bathroom with Catrin engulfed in a fluffy brown dressing gown with bear ears, she finds her son and her mate sitting on the rug and in the process of building a block tower. As soon as she puts her daughter down, Catrin runs to them and knocks the tower down.

‘’Hey,’’ Eli shouts and pushes his sister away.

‘’Catrin,’’ Gwyn scolded her.

Azriel grabs the boy before he could throw a block at his sister. Before a fight erupts between the two, Gwyn walks to them and takes Eli from his father.

‘’Get her ready or we’ll be late,’’ she tells Azriel as she carries Eli to the bath.

8.35 am

After Catrin is dressed, Azriel sets to combing her hair. Unlike her twin, Catrin has her father’s dark hair. Though she resembles Gwyn the most with her paler skin and her teal eyes. Their family always like to tease that both Gwyn and Azriel have been gifted with a little copy of themselves, both in looks and personality.

8.40 am

Azriel adjusts the last bow in Catrin’s hair just in time for Eli to come running in the room giggling and completely naked.

“Got you,” Gwyn laughs when she finally reaches him. She wraps a towel around his little form and lifts him in the air. Gwyn hands their son to her mate before she rushes back to the bathroom so she can also get ready. Azriel immediately sets to get their little redhead dressed while his sister twirls around the room in her floral dress, dancing with one of her teddy bears as if it is her dance partner.

9.00 am

Gwyn gets out of her and Azriel’s private bathroom with a towel barely covering her body. She startles when she finds her mate looking for something on the nightstand.

“What are you looking for?” she asks as she starts to look for the proper clothes to wear. When she turns around, Azriel is staring at her with a look that she knows too well. Their bond thrums when Azriel’s lips pull up into a smirk.

Gwyn walks to him and pulls him down for a kiss. He pulls on her towel and lets it fall to the ground. A second later, Gwyn pushes Azriel out of door and closes it in his face. Azriel chuckles and walks back to his babies.

9.03 am

“Daddy look I’m flying,” Catrin tries to capture her father’s attention while he looks for Eliot’s shoe under the bed. When he looks up, Catrin is jumping on the bed and flapping her wings.

“Baby stop or you will hurt yourself,” Azriel groans as he starts to crawl under Eli’s bed. What he finds first is not the missing shoe but the little boy himself.

“Hi daddy,” Eliot beamed at his dad. Azriel can barely fit half of his body there. But Eli was so small that he has been able to completely slip under the bed.

“What are you doing here buddy?” Azriel asks incredulously.

“My shoe,” Eli says, waving the white shoe in Azriel’s face. They both get out from under the bed and Azriel finally puts Eli’s shoe on.

9.10 am

Gwyn enters the kitchen to find Azriel trying to console a crying Catrin. The reason for the tears is that Azriel has said no to Cat bringing the jar of peanut butter in her backpack.

“You can have peanut butter when we get home later love,” Azriel says, wiping the tears off of her face.

Gwyn walks to Eli who is trying to pack his bag by himself. She kisses him on the cheek and removes everything from the bag to put them back in a better order.

“Plus I’m sure you will have far better things to eat there than peanut butter,” Azriel tells Catrin as he places her on the table next to Eli.

Seeing that his twin is crying, Eli places a hand on hers to comfort her. Catrin turns her palm upwards and laces her fingers with her brother’s. Soon after, the crying turns into sniffing until it finally stops.

9.20 am

Gwyn shuffles through the kids wardrobe to find a new shirt for Eli after he has spilled apple juice on it. Eli, who is completely unbothered by all this, sits on his bed, licking the wet spot on his shirt. When Gwyn walks to him, her son refuses to lift his arm up for her to put the new shirt on him.

“I don’t want this one,” Eli shakes his head.

“Come on baby,” Gwyn almost pleads, “We are going to be late.”

“I want to look like daddy,” Eli pouts.

Gwyn rolls her eyes but smiles as she walks back to the wardrobe to swap the white shirt for one that will make Eliot look more like his father.

9.25 am

“Mommy,” Catrin shouts and jumps into her mother’s arms as if she has not been gone for only 5 minutes.

“Is everyone ready to go?” Azriel asks after he finishes adjusting Eli’s backpack.

Cat and Eli jump around in excitement. After a final check that everyone has all that they need, Eli and Cat rush for the door.

“Don’t run,” Gwyn warns, walking behind them.

“Let’s go,” Cat says excitedly once she is outside.

Azriel locks the door and checks the ward around the house just to be safe. When he goes to winnow everyone to Day, Azriel finds Gwyn and Eli walking towards the front door.

“Eli wants to pee,” Gwyn shrugs before unlocking the door and walking back inside.

Azriel picks his son’s backpack from where he has left it on the porch and joins Catrin.

9.30 am

“Are we all ready,” Azriel asks again and waits for everyone's nods.

Gwyn picks Eli up and Azriel carries Catrin.

“Sure?” Azriel asks one last time.

“Let’s go,” Cat replies eagerly.

Gwyn laughs at her daughter’s enthusiasm. “Let’s go before something else happens.”

Gwyn places a hand on her mate’s shoulder before he finally winnows them all to the Day Court.

Thank you for reading!! 😘

Farrah’s event spoilers//

Okay, so I finished her event yesterday and while I keep finding these events that don’t progress the overall story to have become bland/old, especially the events with poorer pacing and writing that feels like it treats the viewer almost like a child (basically telling everything not like an actual narrative with natural dialogue) I VERY VERY VERY much like how in the perceived good ending, Farrah finds out what her mother did and never forgives her.

As a person who grew up abused by their own mother, always hearing people say “well she’s your mother, you should forgive her” it always feels like a breath of fresh air when I see fictional characters denounce the parents that were meant to protect them, even if Farrah’s mother had good intentions she must have known eventually what was going on. There’s no excuse really otherwise. I’m glad there was the choice to look further, deeper into Farrah and her mother and find out hey, maybe this person failed terribly as a parent but didn’t really show any true effort to apologize or make up for the possible years of torture Farrah went through. There really isn’t any kind of apology that can be forgiven in that instance, and Farrah doesn’t owe a relationship or forgiveness to her mom.

I don’t know, stories that criticize bad parents has always hit very close to home, forgiving your abuser in my opinion is never a good route to go not only in a writing sense but also for my own mental health, I would never submit myself to forgiveness to make my abusers feel better about what they did to me. In short Farrah event has a decent moral perspective.

#dislyte #dislyte farrah #dislyte return dreaming #also disclaimer #I don’t intend to speak over/for all abuse survivors #this is really just my own opinion based on my own experiences as a child abuse survivor who’s main abuser was my mother #we need more stories about children not forgiving their parents for the terrible shit they’ve done #and more stories where the abused doesn’t become the abuser/isn’t villainized #and where the abuser isn’t humanized!!#I think dislyte could really delve into how it portrays abuse and trauma and it’s like on the precipice of being really great but it’s #shadowed by such short events that don’t really serve the bigger story #I genuinely miss the main story and what it brought to the table with worldbuilding I hope they revisit it soon #I miss Leon plea

Whumpril 2024

Day 1 - Limp

⚠TW⚠

- Swearing

- Descriptive Body Horror

- Self-Harm

- Blood

Enjoy!

~~~~~~~~~~

Karyme could hear her heart beating intensely in her ears. Her breaths came out shallow, as if a invisible force was pressing against her chest.

She found herself stumbling, her vision blanking out the more she moved. Her ankle seemed to drag across the grass, holding her back.

She grabbed onto the closest thing she could find, and used it to push herself further up ahead. All around her, tall trees stood, preventing the sun from touching her.

She yearned for the warmth to reach her, her and her cold, frozen body. Even when she could see the sun rays, she still shivered.

She wanted to make it out, so the sun could grace upon her.

In reality, Karyme wasn't even sure where she was trying to go, but she felt the urge to go somewhere else, away from where she was now.

She steadied herself against a tree, stopping to rest. She looked around, until her gaze fell to the floor, where the green grass looked oddly dark.

She studied the patch of grass closely, watching as drops of red dripped from somewhere, staining the grass further.

Her eyes traveled further, landing on herself.

She could see her torso, the black fabric of her turtleneck appearing darker near the middle.

Karyme goes to touch it, only for a stinging pain to travel through her body quickly. She hunches forward, grabbing onto the tree to keep herself up right.

Disoriented, she looks at her hand. Her skin tone pales in contrast to the dark red blood that thickly coated her fingers.

Then it hit her.

The blood.. this forest..

She had been here earlier, hiding from.. someone..

She didn't succeed.

She was found.

She remembered being backed up against a tree, looking into the eyes of.. someone..

Then pain. Searing, hot pain.

Then blood.

A hole. A gaping hole that was in her. Blood seeping through it, like a waterfall.

Her limp ankle dragging behind her, broken beyond repair.

Little cuts running up and down her arms, both of them, some not deep enough to bleed, others deep gashes, causing pain.

A pounding in her head, blood escaping from somewhere, blinding her.

Karyme remembered.

“..Karyme..?”

A voice rang out.

A familiar voice.

She let go of the tree.

And she collapsed.

~~~~~~~~~

Kaiden was panicking, plain and simple.

I mean, who wouldn’t be panicking in this kind of situation? Leony had freaked out, claiming that Karyme was in danger, and couldn’t give more than the name to the supposed place she was in.

La Immort. The biggest, and most dangerous forest in Eris.

Why would Karyme be there, well, Kaiden had no idea. He had no idea about anything that was happening. He could hardly remember the past few weeks, not to mention what caused Karyme to leave without a word.

Nonetheless, Leony’s persistence was enough for him to go searching for answers.

That’s where he was now, searching in La Immort.

Every sound made him jump, hoping to see Karyme, only to be met with nothing. It didn’t help that it was windy either. The cold air sunk into his bones, making an already unpleasant situation even more unpleasant.

He wasn’t even sure he should be here. Even when his heart pushed him forward, his mind screamed at him to turn around.

Kaiden was a mess, completely conflicted.

Until he heard it.

A sound clear as day, unlike everything else he heard in these woods.

A scream.

It was loud enough to make every hair on his body stand up rigidly. Alarms went off in his head, but yet, he didn’t move.

He should run, run and escape whatever the hell caused that kind of a scream from someone.

But something was stopping him.

Someone.

No, he had never heard Karyme scream.. or do anything for that matter.

But what if it was her? He couldn’t just leave her..

It was risky to keep going, but he had to.

So with a shaky breath, he trudges on.

His eyes are tightly shut, as if that will keep him safe.

He stops once again at the sound of something else.

It’s heavy.. wheezy even, like a whistle..

He takes a step forward.

He hears something else take a step.

It goes that way for a bit, step by step, each one approaching each other unknowingly. Invisible strings seems to tug at them, pulling them ever so close..

Finally, Kaiden takes the last step.

A scent is carried through the wind, a metallic one..

The smell is overwhelming, overpowering even..

His eyes scan the area.

Then he sees it.

Clear as day.

He wishes he couldn't see.

There's so much.. blood. Just, everywhere.. it.. this can't be happening, no, this has to be fake..

A pair, no, a single, red eyes looks back at him. There's nothing behind her gaze. Not pain, not.. anger, just, nothing.. numbness..

His voice is stolen away from him.

He can't say anything, fuck, why can't he speak!

Say something..

Say something!

His mouth opens slightly, a small breath of air coming out.

"..Karyme..?"

She blinks.

Then she falls.

It happens in a spilt second, Kaiden can't even react, but his body can. He's at her side in seconds, just as fast as she fell.

He grabs her, trying to help, his ears ringing.

She gasps, her hands pushing at his chest.

Even with a huge wound going across her torso, she has enough strength to try and push him away. She cries as she fights against him. Kaiden just grabs onto her wrists, holding her still as she thrashes and cries.

Kaiden doesn't know what to do, fuck, he doesn't know what to do! Think, for the love of Selyna please think..

911. An ambulance, he needs an ambulance.

He scrambles with his phone, somehow managing to dial the number despite the blood coating his fingers.

He talks to someone, a lady. He can't make out what she's saying, but he responds.

At some point, she tells him to try and stop the bleeding.

Kaiden is shaking, yet composes himself enough to coordinate his movements.

He has a jacket, a old one, he can use it, it won't matter, it's not important.

Kaiden holds the jacket up, and closes his eyes, mumbling a quick prayer before pushing it down onto the wound.

Karyme reacts, a short cry escaping her throat as she clutches onto Kaiden's shirt, letting the blood smudge onto it.

Kaiden's ears finally stop ringing, and he hears himself speaking quickly. He can feels tears in his eyes. They're blurring his vision, he blinks them away, they come back.

"-okay, your okay, dear Selyna please be okay.." He says quickly, feeling out of breath despite his limited movement.

Karyme lets out a choked sob, gripping onto him even harder, scrunching up his shirt in her grip.

The jacket made a sacrifice, but the bleeding won't stop. He can't make it stop, why don't it stop.

Kaiden keeps applying pressure, letting out a breath he didn't even know he was holding in. He takes her frail body into his lap, while still talking.

"Stay with me, stay with me, you gotta stay, okay, no leaving, you need to stay here, with me, yeah-?" He stammers, his breaths short and rigid.

Karyme's still conscious, by some miracle. Her breaths are just as short as his own, maybe even shorter. They end with a bit of a wheeze.

Kaiden's eyes wander over her, spotting so many different injuries, even her ankle which seems to be fractured, maybe even broken.

Kaiden just keeps listing the same things in his mind.

"Broken ankle, punctured lung, head injury, impaled.. broken ankle, punctured lung, head injury, impaled.."

He can't fathom how she's still breathing, nor how she got this way in the first place.

All he knows is that no average person did.. this.

It was something else.

Something bigger..

..someone more powerful..

Kaiden snaps out of his thoughts as he feels Karyme's grip loosen a bit.

He looks back down at her.

She's gone dangerously pale. Her eyes seem darker than they were just moments before..

"Hey, no, Karyme, stay here, stay with me, don't go anywhere, you need to be strong, help is almost here-" He begins to stammer again as the faint sound of sirens approach.

He only stops when Karyme's hand reaches up, slightly cupping his face. Her lips part slightly, a bit of air escaping through them.

"..baby..?" He mumbles, eyes widening a bit.

Her hand stops.

And it falls.

Kaiden grabs her hand in his, clutching it as to keep her here with him.

"..shit..! No no no no no.. Hey, stay with me, please just stay-!" He begs, tears finally falling.

Her other hand, still gripping his shirt, loosens before falling as well.

"Fuck, Karyme-!" Kaiden cries. "Don't do this to me-!"

Her eyes remain open, blinking slightly.

Then the curtain falls, and they close.

"Karyme, Karyme, baby, please wake up-! I-I need you, please don't die, oh Selyna don't let her die-!" Kaiden begs helplessly to no avail.

Even as the sirens finally are near, and the sound of many footsteps and voices are heard, something isn't around.

The beating of a heart, the sound of breathing.

Some of it is missing.

And it may never be found.
