#gwynriel headcanons

[mycadences]

My Gwynriel headcanon is that Gwyn can tell what mood Azriel is in just by how he addresses her. Normally he just calls her "Gwyn" but sometimes we have

Azriel: Berdara. Gwyn: *smirks* Shadowsinger. Shadows: *swirling excitedly at the showdown*

Or

Azriel: Gwyneth. Gwyn: *whispering* Oo, he's using his serious voice. Shadows: *nodding equally seriously*

Or

Azriel: Gwynnie. Gwyn: *very sweetly* Yes, Azzie? Shadows: *cackling*

He uses "Berdara" when they're training or having a match, he uses "Gwyneth" when he's worried about her/wants to discuss something important and he uses "Gwynnie" when he wants to tease/annoy her but she always has a retort ready.

[hntii]

just another little thing I need to get out of my head:

The "see you tomorrow, Shadowsinger" line is so fucking... hot??

Imagine sweet, funny Gwyn going absolutely feral about the obstacle cycle and Azriel is soo here for it.

He keeps teasing her and at some point Gwyn just loses it and goes Imma change tactics, asshole.

She reaches that playful, temptress side of herself she thought she was never going to be able to use again...

And drops an absolutely bat-killing, wing-shivering line that has Azriel speechless.

We all know Gwyn has this musical, beautiful voice. Now imagine she basically purred the 'Shadowsinger' (males have been purring all over these books and no one says a word about it, leave Berdara to her business).

and the poor Spymaster is like "Dear Mother and Holy Gods above, did she just...???"

All while Gwyn is just "[insert evil laugh] handle that, your emo bat [oh this rimes] [proud of herself]".

It got me giggling and kicking my feet.

If you are ever interested I would LOVE to see a fic or one shot or headcannon or anything that explores the idea you put on your tiktok of Azriel never shutting up when talking to Gwyn. It’s so cute it makes me want to cry 😭

Like he’s always been so stoic and he’s finally found this person he can let go with and just let everything he usually keeps to himself out

Your wish is my command, crispiest potato chip:

Talkative Azriel Headcanons:

So "Talkative Azriel" actually makes his family sus

As he starts to fall harder and harder for Gwyn, he gets more and more chatty. He makes more jokes. He's lighter than air.

Then one day, Rhys announces he's throwing an Autumn Equinox party at the river house during a family dinner. Nesta opens her mouth to ask if Gwyn and Emerie can come, but Azriel cuts her off...

"Gwyn was just telling me about rituals associated with reaping good fortune for the Autumn Equinox. We should invite her."

The whole table is silent, because as many times as they've heard Azriel mention Gwyn, there's something different about this time. This time there's something... hopeful in his voice.

Rhys can sense Azriel growing a little uncomfortable in the quiet, so he quickly chimes in "Sure. Bring her." Then conversation starts back up.

The night of the party, Azriel is the hottest gossip circulating (unbeknownst to him of course).

Because since he arrived with Gwyn, he hasn't left her side.

And sweet fuck, he hasn't shut up.

To Nesta, Cassian, and Emerie this is nothing so new, but they've never seen him act like this outside of the training ring with Gwyn. Tonight he is openly, publicly, in front of everyone, being sociable with her.

No one says it aloud but everyone is thinking it... They look like a couple.

Rhys even goes so far as to think: They look good together.

And Feyre is quietly startled because she's never seen Azriel smile this broadly or laugh this much.

As more people show up to the party (people who attend Feyre's studio, business owners who Rhys frequently patronizes, friend's of Mor, etc) Azriel is tugging Gwyn from person to person. Introducing her.

"Gwyn, this is Delia is the lead singer at the Astra Theater. Delia, Gwyn has a lovely voice. She's actually self-taught."

And Gwyn flushes, saying "Oh, I'm alright. I just like doing--"

Azriel interrupts her with a flat look, "She's being modest, Delia. Truly, she's incredible. You should hear her soprano..."

When guests finally start to filter out and only the inner circle remains, Cassian seeks out Azriel but finds him occupied. He and Gwyn are huddled in the river house study, sharing a bottle of wine. They sit by the fire.

And Azriel is talking up a storm. Talking about anything and everything and Cassian observes silently, a small smile playing on his lips.

At one point he makes a joke and Gwyn snorts wine out of her nose, choking and setting down the bottle. Azriel laughs, a full bodied sound that makes Cassian's brows shoot up.

It's such a loud laugh, that Cassian is soon joined by Nesta. And Emerie. And Mor. And Elain. And Rhys. And Feyre with Nyx on her hip.

They all stand outside, holding their breath and listening to Azriel tell jokes. They listen to Azriel tease Gwyn and interject when she tells him stories. He asks her an endless amount of questions.

Then Nyx sneezes and everyone freezes, ready to be caught. They wait for Azriel to come storming over and shoo them away.

But to their surprise... the talking doesn't stop. Azriel and Gwyn continue as though nothing has happened.

It comes as a surprise to no one when a month later, they show up to the river house holding hands.

No, but imagine that Gwynriel’s calm, even tempered, quiet son is suddenly loud and and red faced when arguing with Feysand’s daughter because oof don’t they get in each other’s nerves all the time. They distinctly are Anthony and Kate, especially in that horse race scene. And the hunting scene. “I need managing because I’m a woman?” “No, no I did not say that!” “But you thought it.” (He in fact did not think it, but was dumbstruck all the same)

Honestly, it's all that goes through my mind. I mean can't you just see...

"My father raised me to act with honour, but that honour is hanging by a thread that grows more precarious with every moment I spend in your presence. You are the bane of my existence. And the object of all my desires."

Like Gwynriel's son would have Azriel's reserved, secrecy but Gwyn's thirst for knowledge and competitiveness. And Feysands daughter would have Feyre's bold bravery and Rhys' arrogant intellect.

Complete academic rivals to lovers trope. I can see them having to be educated together because they are similar ages and would just constantly be trying to one-up each other and beat each other's work. Their philosophies on life are just so different. And they are bickering and arguing all the time but also can't stand being apart from one another.

He saves her from something and she just cannot handle the fact that he thought she needed saving - even though she totally did. And because he is Azriel's son, he has no idea how to handle her emotionally so he just ends up offending her and walking away.

They accidentally brush hands at Starfall and are roped into dancing with each other. They spend the entire time trading insults with heavy stares. For the rest of the night they are not being able to cope with the fact they can't get the feel of each other from their skin. She starts to sneak knowing glances at him, he begins to always turn up to the library when she's there.

And then, they just are pushed to the limit one day because she's dating someone else and he HATES it and they just scream at each other and then kiss.

TELL ME IT'S NOT A MATCH MADE IN HEAVEN

I haven’t seen anyone talk about this but the way Nesta said “Yes. We are” after Bryce asked about Azriel’s love life has me wondering what kind of things Cassian and Nesta have noticed in the House of Wind all this time…..

In the training room with Nesta, Gwyn, and Emerie

Nesta: WHO ARE WE?

Gwyn and Emerie: THE VALKYRIES!

Nesta: WHAT ARE WE?

Gwyn and Emerie: WE’RE WARRIORS!

Nesta: AND WHAT DO WE LIKE?

Gwyn: Smut novels!

Nesta:

Emerie:

Cassian: *snickered*

Azriel: *pursed his lips*

Gwyn: Oh, wrong answer. We like to kick asses!

[glossamerfaerie]

I have this headcanon that Nesta’s pegasus** DOES NOT like Cassian. Her pegasus is definitely a black stallion and super aggressive with Fae men, but absolutely adores Nesta and her friends. He’ll allow mane braiding, petting, spoiling with apples and sugar cubes, etc. He’s an absolute sweetheart with the Valkyries, Priestesses, Nyx, and the Archeron sisters.

But Cassian? No, sir. The Pegasus will not let Cassian *breathe* safely. Lots of growling and snorting whenever Cassian is within ten feet. He WILL bite if Cassian attempts to stroke his mane. Even the delicious sugar cubes won’t help Cassian; the Pegasus simply glowers disdainfully and ignores until someone else offers the treat. Cassian is very sad about this.

Nesta does not improve matters by being EXTRA affectionate toward her Pegasus whenever Cassian is around. Or by going on long flights without Cassian whenever Nesta wants alone time. Or by saying things like “you’re my favorite black-haired winged-creature to ride.” This last one is Cassian’s breaking point; he storms out of training while Gwyn, Azriel, and Emerie collapse with laughter. Cassian is especially bitter that the Pegasus has warmed up to Azriel, so he can’t even pretend that the Pegasus has a problem with Illyrians. To rub salt in the wound, Gwyn’s Pegasus *loves* Az (shadow-petting is extremely useful when Gwyn is busy).

Things do change eventually. There’s some battle or conflict (idk just imagine something bloody). And of course Cassian, the overprotective brute, sees a sneak attack from behind and lunges to protect his mate mid-air. The attacker plummets and dies in a very painful manner.

After watching Cassian’s actions, the Pegasus decides that perhaps Cassian deserves Some Rights after all. He still won’t allow prolonged petting or Cassian to sit on him (in his defense, do you want a large Illyrian brute to sit on you? Don’t answer that). But the Pegasus will allow occasional pets and sugary tweets.

Nesta has been publicly amused by this saga for a while but also secretly worried that her two males can’t get along. So the new peace is a big relief to her. She also doesn’t *want* to always fly without company. Alone time is nice, but do you know what’s nicer? Racing with Cassian to see who can reach their destination faster. Nesta loves flying with her two favorite males.

(However, Nesta still maintains that Cassian is her *second* favorite black-haired winged-creature to ride. The man’s ego is dangerous if left unchecked)

______

** The Pegasus colors are inspired by this amazing artwork that lives rent-free in my brain. I’m sure that Nesta is black, Gwyn is white, and Emerie is brown/gold. Not sure about the genders of the other Pegasus — I think Gwyn has a mare but I’m unsure about Emerie.

Sexy Gwynriel Headcanon

I figured I'd write this for you all enjoy ahead of Gwynriel Week. I hope you enjoy it! 😉

Azriel is on his knees before Gwyn (the only woman he will ever get on his knees for) as she's loosely tied up to the headboard with the ribbon and shadows.

He leans in to bring her pleasure with his mouth as his hands reach up to fondle her breasts.

She feels safe, despite being tied down, because with the scars on his hands it reminds her it's Azriel who is the one wringing the pleasure from her.

She also knows she can break free at anytime as the shadows move to softly caress her body and Azriel continue his exquisite, pleasurable torture.

He whispers "Good Girl" as she comes apart beneath him and moans with absolute pleasure at the taste of her.

He then slides up the bed to untie the ribbon and wrap her in his arms. She softly drifts to sleep as he sings a song to her. He looks down and smiles at the peaceful look on her face and drifts off to sleep himself with contentment and love settling inside of him with his arms wrapped around Gwyn. 💖

The withering stare from Gwyn

“See you tomorrow, Shadowsinger” thrown over a shoulder

The brows high in amusement from Az

Nesta chiming in with “You have no idea what you just started”, which was said earlier in the book by Cassian to Nesta in a very intimate moment (censored to keep it PG, but you can refer to page 517 of ACOSF for context)

Maybe this is a delulu line of thought, but why use this same phrase, verbatim, in a shared moment between Gwyn and Az, if it didn’t mean anything when it was also used in a very intimate scene between Cassian and Nesta?

I genuinely don’t understand how they can’t be endgame.

Also, Gwyn owns the Shadowsinger nickname now. Only she can refer to Az by that name with her charming irreverence to knock him down a peg or two 😩

They have such a potential for a friends to lovers story, filled with sassy banter, hand to hand training on and off the ring 😏 and friendly competition. They would push each other to be their best selves.

Oh AND HE STARED AFTER HER, WATCHING AS SHE WALKED AWAY, I— *big sigh*

Imagine Gwyn finally feeling worthy of wearing the Invoking Stone and using to save/heal Azriel.

And that's what you missed on Glee.

I'm imagining Azriel checking out books from the library and then specifically asking Clotho to make sure Gwyn is the one to reshelf them when he brings them back.

When Gwyn is reshelfing Azriel's books, she notices things sticking out between the pages.

Pressed flowers, little notes that tell her how beautiful and kind she is, folded sheets of music that Azriel thinks fits the vibes of the story. Scraps of paper with quotes from the book scribbled on and a little message that says, "I thought you might like this line." or "This reminded me of you."

Gwyn: *flips opens smutty book* Shadow: *wriggling in greeting* Gwyn: Oh hello there sweetie. Did you replace my bookmark with yourself? Shadow: *nods proudly* Gwyn: Does your master know you're here? Shadow: *slinks back between the pages and closes book on itself*

Scene I want w/ Gwyn & Rhys

Rhysand: I miss my sister. I miss being an older brother to her.

Gwyn: What do you miss about it most?

Rhysand: Everything. Annoying her. Teasing her. Being her conspirator and keeping her secrets. I have a family of my own now, but nothing can mend that loss.

Gwyn: It sounds like you were a good brother.

Rhysand: I tried to be.

Gwyn: I never had an older brother.

Rhysand: *softly* Would you like one?

[aelingalathyniusrailme]

a little compatibility hc for gwynriel weeks

Gwyn does not just let Azriel brood

she won’t allow him to sit in his misery and self pity like all of his friends have for the past 500 years

she will not give him another 500 to let him decide whether he is worth it or enough

gwyn will make fun of him. she’ll laugh at the scary shadowsinger when no one else has ever dared to. She will make him talk to her and if he can’t talk she’ll make sure he does not sit in his room and waft in his self hatred

she will pick a fight with him.

take him out to rita’s

walk with him along the sidra

spar in the training ring

or just be there with him so he knows he is not alone and does not have to carry this weight by himself anymore

Azriel will want her to leave him to be by himself. But she will refuse. Every. Eingle. Time.

Until he knows he will never be alone again.
