House Of Sky And Breath

Lidia's story about a witch

Once upon a time, before Luna hunted the heavens and Solas warmed Cthona’s body, before Ogenas blanketed Midgard with water and Urd twined our fates together, there lived a young witch in a cottage deep in the woods. She was beautiful, and kind, and beloved by her mother. Her mother had done her best to raise her, with her only companions being the denizens of the forest itself: birds and beasts and the babbling brooks.

She grew older, strong and proud. But a wandering prince passed by her clearing one day when her mother was gone, beheld her beauty, and wanted her desperately to be his bride.

She had no interest in princes, or in ruling a kingdom, or in any of the jewels he offered. What she wanted was a true heart to love her, to run wild with her through the forest. But the prince would not be denied. He chased her through the wood, his hounds following.

As she ran, she pleaded with the forest she loved so dearly to help her. So it did. First, it transformed her into a deer, so she might be as swift as the wind. But his hounds outraced her, closing in swiftly. Then the forest turned her into a fish, and she fled down one of the mountain streams. But he built a weir at its base to trap her. So she became a bird, a hawk, and soared for the skies. But the prince was a skilled archer, and he fired one of his iron-tipped arrows.

It struck her breast, and where her blood fell, olive trees sprouted. As her body hit the earth, the forest transformed her one last time…

The forest turned the witch into a monster before she hit the earth. A beast of claws and fangs and bloodlust. She ripped the prince and hounds who pursued her into shreds.

She remained a monster for a hundred years, roaming the forest, killing all who drew near. A hundred years, so long that she forgot she had once been a witch, had once possessed a home and a forest she loved.

But one day, a warrior arrived in the forest. He’d heard of the monster so vicious none could kill it and live. She set out to slaughter him, but when the warrior beheld her, he was not afraid. He stared at her, and she at him, and he wept because he didn’t see a thing of nightmares, but a creature of beauty. He saw her, and he was not afraid of her, and he loved her. His love transformed her back into a witch, melting away all that she’d become. They dwelled in peace in the forest for the rest of their immortal lives.

HOSAB SPOILER

I hate the asteri for many reasons but the fact that they ruined the perfect and hilarious scene in which ithan held aidas in his lap and petted him is by far the biggest

Rough sjm interview recap:

Cc3 is confirmed next, likely will be 18 months to 2 years since there's so much to tie together

She thinks this will be her longest book ever

Ruhn, Baxion, and Hunt are going to be going through some pretty horrific things in the dungeon--she said she's not sure if her editor will say what she has now is "too much" 😬

The 8 pointed star and Aelin's travel through Prythian will get fully explained (in terms of there being multiple worlds, it didn't seem like Aelin would make an appearance)

Lots of things with Bryce transitioning from a modern world to Prythian!! (specifically toilet paper lol)

Hunts lineage will get explained

She was well into the creative process for cc before thinking about the crossover

Nyx features in the book! And everyone is very protective of him!

As of now, cc3 takes place roughly 6 months after acosf

There will be setup for future acotar and cc books in cc3

Hey do you know any site/blog where I can get the summaries of Off-campus series? Not the 2-3 para summaries tho.

The legacy comes out tomorrow and I'm really excited about it but I read the series a few years back and I can't recall the stories that well and I really don't feel like reading the entire series just to read the legacy.

You know, I don’t know any blogs with summaries but I can sure as hell write them for you!

The Legacy is supposed to be: Four stories. Four couples. Three years of real life after graduation…A wedding. A proposal. An elopement. And a surprise pregnancy.

Under the cut because spoilers! (I just did the first 4 with main events and facts , but I'll include some background info about where we last saw the characters in the briar u series for context)

THE DEAL

The Deal is about Hannah and Garrett. Garrett Graham is the big man on campus and in desperate need of a tutor. Hannah is a music major and is reluctant to help Garrett because between her nightmare of a partner for her duet, and working at the local diner to support herself and help out her family, she doesn’t have time. Garrett eventually convinced her, using the one thing Hannah wants but can’t have: a chance to make Justin Kohl, the transfer student on the football team interested in her.

While Hannah tutors Garrett on philosophy, they both get closer, talking about their lives, including Hannah’s struggle with her duet partner, and Garrett’s total dedication to hockey. They stay up late watching Breaking Bad, Hannah sings for Garrett, and they eventually kiss (to prepare Hannah for her big date with Justin). Hannah also meets Garrett's best friends and roommates: John Logan, (who is interested in Hannah and is destine to play Hockey professionally), Dean Heyward DiLaurentis (who is incapable of hooking up in his own room) and John Tucker (who does all of the cooking in their apartment and hooked up with 3 girls at the same time the past new years).

Before Hannah is scheduled to appear as Garrett’s date at a football party, Justin starts to show interest in her, but Garrett keeps interrupting. Hannah and Garrett go to the party, and Hannah reveals that she doesn't drink in public because of a bad experience in the past. Hannah rescues Garrett from a puck bunny, and they leave the party together, after chatting with Beau Maxwell.

Hannah runs into Justin at a coffee shop, and Justin asks Hannah out on a date. After he retakes the test, Garrett invites Hannah out to celebrate with his hockey friends, giving her a chance to drink in a controlled environment with Garrett as her guard dog. Hannah let’s go and enjoys the night until she runs into her ex-boyfriend. It’s revealed that the relationship broke down at least in part because Hannah has been unable to have an orgasm with anyone since she was raped when she was 15 years old. Garrett returns and Hannah enjoys the rest of the night, until Garrett puts her to bed in his bedroom, and Hannah tries to come on to Garrett.

They wake up together the next morning and Hannah asks Garrett to help her, to see if maybe they can crack why she’s unable to orgasm with a partner. Garrett agrees and is somewhat nervous about the encounter.

Hannah shows up at Garrett’s house that night and Garrett immediately puts her at ease. Hannah hits a wall, they both pleasure themselves, and Hannah is able to orgasm, which is a huge success for her. The next day, Garrett shows up to Hannah's rehearsal and tells her nightmare duet partner to back off. Garrett goes down on her, Hannah has another orgasm. Garrett goes to Hockey practice and comes home to a home cooked meal made by Hannah as a thank you.

The next day (Halloween), Hannah feels bad that Garrett does not go out for Halloween, so she finds him at his house, alone. They sit on the couch, and Garrett confesses to hating halloween because that was when his father started to physically abuse him. Hannah opens up more to Garrett about how being raped at such a young age impacted her life. They agree to rewrite bad memories with good ones and finally have sex.

The next day, Garrett plays a hockey game, which Hannah attends with her friends. As he's leaving, Garrett's father (Hockey Legend and Abuser Phil Graham) tells him that he must come home for Thanksgiving because Phil's girlfriend wants to see him. Logan also informs Garrett that Justin mentioned he's going out with Hannah the next day.

Garrett shows up at Hannah's dorm, upset that she's going out with Justin, when they've been having such a good time together. Hannah reveals she accepted Justin's invitation before she went out with Garrett, and cancels the date. They decide to be boyfriend/girlfriend.

Hannah's parents cannot afford to fly out for thanksgiving, so she goes with Garrett to his dad's house. Garrett notices his father is abusing his girlfriend, and offers her help to get out. Hannah and Garrett leave, and on the ride home they confess that they love each other.

At Garrett's next game, Hannah sees one of the boys who testified against her in her rape trial. Garrett realizes who he is and beats the shit out of him, injuring Logan in the process. The next day, Phil shows up at Hannah's job and tells her to breakup with Garrett, threatening to pull Garrett's tuition and financial support if she does not.

Hannah does so, and Garrett is incredibly upset, claiming Hannah's reasons don't make sense. They finish out the semester apart, Garrett pursuing Hannah, and attending Hannah's final performance (she does a solo with the cellist from her duet partner's song). When they return to campus for the spring semester, Hannah tries to show Garrett she's moved on by going out with someone else, but realizes that Garrett has employed a full-campus ban on dating her.

Hannah storms into the locker room, confronting Garrett, and Garrett reveals that he knew that she would try to date someone and feel guilty about it later. He gets Hannah to admit that Phil threatened her to end things with Garrett. Hannah confesses to everything and Garrett reveals that he gained access to his trust fund over the winter break, so he has cut all ties (financial and otherwise) with his father. They get back together. In the final chapter, Garrett and Hannah celebrate Brair U's Frozen Four Win, and Hannah notices that Garrett's best friend Logan is still interested in her. Garrett also reveals that he finally opened up to his teammates about his father's physical abuse. It's also revealed that Justin is dating one of Hannah's friends.

THE MISTAKE

The Mistake starts with John Logan, who is hopelessly in love with his best friend Garrett's girlfriend Hannah. Logan's been coping with this realization by partying and sleeping his way through Briar's campus. Tucker calls attention to Logan's behavior before a party. Grace Meyers is a freshman at Briar U, whose best friend is obsessed with Dean Heyward-DiLaurentis, Logan's best friend. Grace sees Logan at a party, but they don't interact. The next day, in a ploy to escape Garrett and Hannah, Logan mistakenly ends up at Grace's door, and asks to use her phone. They end up watching Die Hard together and making out. Logan comes, Grace doesn't and he leaves abruptly. Grace tells her friend Ramona what happened, and Ramona insinuates that Logan made it up.

Logan realizes that Grace didn't finish and goes back to make it right.Ramona tells their friend group about Grace and Logan, and for some reason, they don't believe Grace. Later that week, Grace and Logan run into each other at the movie theatre, with Ramona and Dean. Grace and Logan hook up again. While he hasn't been thinking about Hannah, he feels guilty for using Grace to get over his feelings for Hannah. When he plans to break things off, Dean reveals that some of the freshman have been spreading rumors that Grace is making up stories about seeing Logan. Logan interferes, rescuing Grace from the dining hall and they hang out.

Logan goes over to Grace's place to break things off, but waits until Grace reveals that she is a virgin, before explaining that he feels guilty using her when he has feelings for Hannah. Grace is obviously upset and Logan leaves. He finds Hannah in his kitchen, and realizes that what he wanted wasn't Hannah, but rather Garrett and Hannah's relationship. Logan tries to explain to Grace and apologize, but Grace won't respond. At the same time, Ramona tries to get in with Logan, so Logan tells Grace, which ends Grace and Ramona's friendship.

Grace visits her mother in Paris over the summer, while Logan returns to his hometown, where he works at his alcoholic father's garage. Logan made a deal with his brother which means that after graduation, Logan will return to the garage, rather than chasing his professional hockey aspirations. Logan spends the summer trying to get in touch with Grace, while she ignores Logan completely. He tries to move on, but finds that he doesn't want to be with anyone else. Garrett visits Logan and tells him to make the most of his last year of freedom, and Logan intends to make things right with Grace.

When Logan returns to Briar, he runs into Grace and tries to explain what happened. Grace refuses to go out with him. Grace makes friends with her new roommate, Daisy, and joins her by working at the campus radio station. Logan is persistent with Grace, but she again refuses Logan. Grace is asked to a party by Morris, who also works at the radio station, and Logan finds her there and kisses her. Logan goes to Morris’s place and “declares his intentions toward Grace.” They bond over video games and Morris agrees to stand down. When Grace finds out she is livid, and storms into Logan’s house demanding an explanation. Logan says he’ll do anything for a chance with Grace, and Grace gives him a list of things to do to win her back.

With some difficulty, Logan completes the tasks and takes Grace out on a fancy date. That date goes well (despite the fact that Grace reveals she prefers football over Hockey). The next date is at a football party, where Grace meets Sabrina James and Beau Maxwell. At the party, she’s jealous that Logan has been with many women before her, and Logan reassures her completely. Logan and Grace date and hookup, which leads to Logan Skyping with Grace’s mom, Grace learning about Logan’s decision not to pursue professional hockey to care for his father, and Logan jealously interrupting Grace’s study session. Logan cautions Grace about pursuing her friendship with Ramona as well.

On a weekend where Logan’s roommates are out of town, Logan and Grace finally have sex. They are interrupted the next morning by Hannah and Garrett who are escaping a major fight that Hannah’s roommate Allie is having with her boyfriend Sean. The four spend time together and Logan goes to dinner at Grace’s father’s house.

The next week, Grace receives an SOS from Ramona, saying she’s at a party with the visiting Hockey team, and Logan and Grace go to save her. When they’re safely back in the car, Grace realizes she’s in love with Logan. Later, Logan is supposed to pick up Grace from her fathers house, but can’t make it because his father needs help. Logan goes to Grace’s house, only to find that Grace has returned to the dorms and end up breaking down in front of Grace’s dad.

Grace goes to check on Logan the next day, and they fight. Logan apologizes for being late and says he knows Grace will leave him the next year when he’s at home, and Grace is still at Briar. Grace storms out after declaring she loves Logan, and Logan is shocked. He knows it will take a grand gesture to win Grace back, so he goes on Grace’s radio show and confesses his love for Grace.

The next day, Logan is called to an emergency meeting at his father’s house, where his father explains that he’s enrolling himself into rehab for his alcoholism and that Logan can pursue his hockey dreams, starting at a farm team for the Bruins. The epilogue is two years later, at Logan’s first Bruins game, where Grace is talking to Logan’s mother and Hannah.

THE SCORE

This books begins with Allie calling Hannah (who is away for the weekend with Garrett, Logan, and Grace), because her ex-boyfriend Sean insists on showing up to their dorm uninvited. Garrett tells Allie to stay at his place for the weekend, and notes that his roommates, Tucker and Dean will be home. Allie shows up at the house while Dean is about to have a threesome and Tucker is out. Dean tells the girls to leave, and hits on Allie relentlessly. Allie reveals that she’s escaping her ex- and they end up watching a movie together. With the help of tequila, one thing leads to another and Allie wakes up in Dean’s bed the next morning. They agree to keep their hookup private, and Allie leaves the house.

Even though Dean does not usually repeat hookups, he pursues Allie relentlessly, calling and texting her after a night out with Tucker and Hunter. Dean meets up with his buddy, Beau Maxwell, who uses a complicated Twilight analogy to explain that Dean only wants Allie now. After a hockey game, Hannah reveals that Allie is at home sulking, so Dean goes to give her company, and attempt to seduce her. They watch a terrible French show together and Dean leaves.

Allie then joins Dean and his friends at Colin Fitzgerald’s birthday, where Dean and Allie use the jukebox to send messages to eachother (Allie picks U and UR Hand), while Dean sexts Allie. Again, nothing happens between them, but Allie leaves feeling hot and bothered.

At the same time, Deans new coach on the team is the father of an ex-girlfriend from high school and Dean is assigned to coach a boys hockey team. Dean also butts heads with Sabrina James, who resents Dean after she found out he was given better grades for sleeping with a TA. Allie also struggles in trying out for roles, believing she's been typecast as the vapid friend, and wished to play characters with more substance.

Eventually, Allie relents and invites Dean over. They hookup in secret (in part because of Dean’s reputation as a player). When Allie comes over to Dean’s place, Logan finds Dean alone in the tub with Allie’s vibrator. They also discuss being exclusive. A few nights later, Hannah texts Allie to join her at the bar with Garrett and his hockey friends and mentions that Dean is making out with some girl. Allie shows up looking like a snack and Dean confronts her. Allie reveals that she was jealous of the girl mentioned, and Dean reassures her that nothing happened and he brushed the girl off.

Later, Allie texts Dean that she's meeting with Sean (the evil ex). Sean shows Allie plane tickets for him and Allie to Los Angeles, after being unsupportive of Allies's acting career. Dean gives Allie the silent treatment, and Allie finds out that Dean was thrown out of the Hockey game for fighting. Allie finds Dean in the locker room and confirms that she is not getting back together with Spencer, and Dean invites Allie to drive down to New York with him or Thanksgiving. While keeping their relationship secret, Allie and Dean go down to New York, and Dean opens up to Allie about his past with the Coach's daughter.

In New York, Dean meets Allie's dad (who suffers from MS) on Thanksgiving, and Dean and Allie go out with Beau Maxwell and some other friends. When they return to Briar, one of Sean's teammates sees Allie and Dean together. Sean confronts Allie at her dorm, and calls Allie and Dean names. Garrett and Hannah step in and kick Spencer out, and Allie asks Hannah to call Dean. Dean shows up, demanding to see Allie, and Allie and Dean decide to date for real, and be public with their relationship, to Garrett's chagrin. Hannah asks Allie if she loves Dean, but she doesn't realize how deep her feelings are until she sees him coaching hockey.

They date happily and Dean's sister Summer visits. Allie accidentally knocks Dean out when thinking he's an intruder, and Dean and Allie confess that they love each other. (There's also some set up for Summer and Fitz's story in the Chase). Some time later, Dean finds out his good friend Beau Maxwell has died tragically in a car accident. Dean spirals out of control, and Allie tries to be patient with him. Dean is able to go through the motions of life - going to hockey practice and class, but the relationship suffers. Eventually, Dean misses Allie's opening night performance in her play, and Allie discovers Dean is on MDMA. Allie breaks things off with Dean, and Dean is also cut from the hockey team for his drug use.

Dean slowly works to make amends with his hockey team, his friends, the coach's daughter, and Allie. Allie tells him that she needs time apart from him. When Dean is in New York for the weekend, Allie receives a call that her father has fallen. Dean goes to Allie's house and checks on her dad, and bonds with him. When Dean returns, she and Dean get back together. Allie reveals she's turning down a sitcom role in LA and Dean presents her with plane tickets for Allie and her father. Allie tells him and Dean reveals he will not be going to Harvard Law, but will be coaching girls hockey at a private school in New York. Allie ends up landing a HBO job in New York and Dean and Allie plan to move together to New York after graduation. Dean takes Allie to a salsa class.

The novel ends with Tucker revealing that he is having a baby with Sabrina James.

THE GOAL

Sabrina and Tucker's story starts the night after Dean hooks up with Allie for the first time. Sabrina goes out with her friends after attending an event at a professor's house and ends up a the bar. Sabrina is a hardworking student with aspirations to go to Harvard Law. She works two jobs: the postal service and a bar, and she lives with her grandmother and step-father, in less than ideal conditions. Tucker is supposed to return to Texas after graduation and start his own business. Of his roommates, Tucker is the most old-fashioned, dating-wise. Dean warns Tucker off of Sabrina, before leaving, and Tucker and Sabrina hook up, despite Tucker's friendship with Dean and Sabrina's insistence that it's a one time thing. There's a shuffle where a condom isn't used, but both people have a really good time. Sabrina drives home that night, and Tucker follows her to make sure she gets home safe. Sabrina blocks Tuckers phone number.

Tucker talks to Beau Maxwell to declare his intentions about Sabrina, and he finds Sabrina at school. Tucker is persistent in getting a date with Sabrina, but she asks him to give up. Sabrina gets into Harvard Law and visits the campus, where she is mistaken for a legal aid client, and the professor she meets with gives her useless advice. Tucker ends up going to Boston with Hollis and Fitz and runs into Sabrina at the bar she works at. They hook up again, at Sabrina's place, and Tucker overhears Sabrina's creepy step-father saying inappropriate things to her. Tucker leaves and Sabrina is incredibly embarrassed.

Sabrina sees Tucker on campus the next day. Tucker confronts her about the interaction, and encourages Sabrina to take some time for herself, while telling her about his life. A few days later, Beau tells Sabrina about Tucker's declaration of intentions, and Sabrina's friends convince her to go to one of Tucker's hockey games. There, she sees Tucker with another girl, but Tucker tells her she's a friend and asks Sabrina out again. Sabrina agrees to a double date with Tucker (and Fitz goes out with her friend Carin). They have phone sex before their date, which goes really well. They agree to keep their relationship a secret.

Dean and Allie's relationship is revealed after Thanksgiving, and Tucker meets Sabrina's grandmother. He goes back to Texas for the Holidays, and realizes he doesn't want to go back full time. Tucker and Sabrina miss each other over the break, and Sabrina gets sick. When Tuck plans a fancy night at a hotel for new years, they realize that Sabrina is pregnant. Later that week, the news about Beau's death comes out, and Tucker goes to comfort Sabrina. They attend the funeral together. There are a few time jumps involving Sabrina dealing with the pregancy news, and she eventually decides to keep the baby, and attend Harvard after running into Beau's sister.

Sabrina tries to give Tuck an out on their relationship, and he lies about seeing other people to make her more comfortable. Tucker stands by Sabrina and her decisions. Sabrina asks for time to tell her friends about the baby and Tucker eventually tells his mom, roommates and friends that he will be staying in Boston. Fitz, Garrett, and Logan are supportive, while Dean can't get past his hatred for Sabrina. Tucker commits to living with Hollis's terrible brother after graduation.

After Sabrina and Tucker visit the doctor and find out they are having a girl, Sabrina and Tucker have sex again, and pick up where they've started. They've both accepted that they love each other but won't admit it. Tucker reveals that Garrett and Logan are competing for godfather privileges and Tucker invites Sabrina to his house, to meet his friends. Sabrina has a nice time meeting Hannah, Grace, and the guys. She breaks down when Dean confronts her about how she's interfering with Tuck's life, and she admits to Dean that she love Tuck, but asks Dean not to tell Tuck. Dean and Sabrina call a truce.

Sabrina and her friends start to get things together for the baby, and Tucker starts to work construction in Boston to support himself while he looks for a business to invest in. Sabrina meets Tucker's mom, who believes Sabrina is taking advantage of Tucker's kindness. Tucker finds a bar he wants to invest in, but Sabrina goes into Labor, having a healthy baby girl, they decide to name James Tucker or Jamie. Tucker tells Sabrina he loves her in the hospital, but she pretends not to hear.

Things with Sabrina and Tucker are rocky after the baby is born. Sabrina snuggles to juggle the beginning of law school with being a mom and breastfeeding. Tucker is supportive of Sabrina, caring for Jamie so she can study. Tucker gets annoyed that women hit on him when he's out with Jamie, but he finds that the bar he was at earlier is for sale.

Tucker walks in when Ray (Sabrina's creepy step-dad) is being creepy around Sabrina and Jamie, and Tucker takes Sabrina to the bar, showing him their new apartment and Tucker's new business. Sabrina and Jamie move in with Tucker. Tucker's bar opens and Sabrina and Tucker finally have sex again. There's some lead up to the next books, and it's revealed that Logan and Grace are living together, Garrett is having major success playing Hockey, and Dean eventually comes around to Jamie and Sabrina. When Tucker's mom comes to visit, Sabrina is defensive over her life with Tucker and balancing Law School with Motherhood. Sabrina reveals that she loves Tucker and Tucker overhears.

Tucker and Sabrina confess their love for each other. The last chapter time jumps a year ahead to Logan's first game with the Bruins. Tucker, Sabrina, and Jamie attend and it is revealed that they are engaged. Sabrina is still in law school, Tucker's mother is moving up to Boston to help with the baby. Sabrina's friends and Grace and Hannah hang out often, and the book ends.

At this point:

Hannah and Garret are living together, Hannah is producing music and Garrett is playing professionally

Logan and Grace are living together, Logan is starting to play with the Bruins, and Grace is a senior in college.

Dean and Allie are living together. Dean coaches girls' field hockey and Allie's HBO show is out.

Sabrina and Tucker are living together and engaged. Sabrina is in Law School and Tucker is running the bar successfully.

I'm assuming Briar U characters might be mentioned (especially Hunter and Summer), but I figured giving the run-down on those might not be fully relevant to the book coming out tomorrow.

Where are the Briar U Characters at the three year point?

Hunter, Demi, Conor and Taylor will be Seniors at Briar

Summer and Brenna will be fresh out of college.

Fitzy, Hollis, and Jake will be one year out of college.

Hollis and Rupi will have been married for less than a year

If you've made it this far, here's a list of things that were not discussed that should have been:

the fact that Tucker plays guitar

the fact that Logan gives Dean shit over Winston but is a hypocrite

The fact that Grace and Demi have the same academic and murdery-y interests

Grace/Demi/Taylor Friendship could be next level

Jake Connelly and Conor bonding over being Coach's sons-in-law

Dean and Sabrina make up / friendship

friendship between the girlfriends and the boys in general

Who are Jamie's godparents? (Garrett and Hannah?)

Carin and Fitzy's date - why was this never discussed?

Why do they never go to Tucker's bar? Like anyone from The Chase onward could have gone

More of Johnny /Gorgeous

More of Hannah/Allie bonding over Dean/Garrett

More Boogers/Dicky + Fitzy just being there

The fact that Fitzy and Hollis drove to Jake's game to yell at him

Hunter going to salsa lessons needs to happen

DO THEY GET THE PIG? PLEASE TELL ME THEY GET THE PIG

Demi & Taylor friendship after they move in together

Who becomes the next Dean/Hunter/Conor

I need a scene of Grace meeting Tom Brady or Gronk and Logan being annoyed because he too is a successful professional athlete (for reasons)

Flynn: *says anything*

The fire sprites:

Aelin: *yeets herself across realms*

Type: Lucien Vanserra x Reader.

Fandom: A Court of Thorns and Roses.

Warnings: None, it's just fluff.

Authors Note: I think I've never written something for Lucien and I love him so much so here's something fluff for my baby. It was a request but the person said they didn't want the ask to be addressed, so, I hope they see this :(( I took so long to do BUT IT'S HERE.

"Can I braid your hair?" Y/N said guilty filing her guts.

It was her fault they argued, her fault because she couldn't keep her damn mouth closed. Lucien had nothing to do with her angriness, nothing to do with anything consuming in her life, but still, she'd thrown it at him.

If the gorgeous male fae on the other side of the bedroom was caught by surprise by the sudden request he didn't make it seem. His steps hushed towards you, and he sat down in front of you, letting out a sigh that seemed to be held for centuries.

The house was empty, just the two of them filling it with their angry words, now silent because of the sudden stop. Not a single soul spoke anything while Y/N's fingers traced Lucien's hair first brushing it and then grabbing two little pieces to make a crown of braids.

She wet her lips, trying to find the right words to say, but she hasn't learned how to apologize, not when she was raised to be rude and strong, someone who won't say sorry, and won't accept it either.

When her fingers stopped and grabbed an elastic to hold the braid still he was about to go but then she laced her arms around his neck and put her face on it, inhaling his scent.

"I'm sorry," her voice barely heard. "I didn't want to fight with you, I was mad, Azriel pissed me off on today's training and I just threw it all on you and-"

She almost said it. Love. For a brief minute, she thought it would slip right out of her mouth and confess her killing feelings for him. It was wrong, she was dirty, he was a completely different person who deserved something much better than her.

"It's ok, my love, I shouldn't have pushed you to this. It's not your fault, not completely." Lucien tried to give her a soft smile but it just looked sad. Yes, it made more damage than he was telling.

"No, it's not ok. Listen, I was the one pushing you, I love you and I don't want us to be like this. I promised myself not to do it again, never throw things at you like you don't have feelings. I know it hurt you more than you're letting me see, and I'm really, truly and completely sorry for-" He cut her with his lips.

She breathed hard, getting caught by surprise with the sudden kiss, but then melt in his mouth faster than she should.

His hand was at the side of her face, cupping it, never letting her go when he broke the contact of their lips. "What did you say, love?"

"You didn't let me finish, I was saying that I'm truly-" Another kiss that pissed her off. "Please, this is harder than you think and I'm finally having the courage to-"

"Before all the things I don't need to hear because of course I forgive you, you said something. What was it?" His bright smile made her blush.

She didn't know what he was talking about, didn't even remember all the things she said, it was in a hush. But then, then it came to her realization that she said the words she didn't mean to. Didn't mean to throw in a moment like this. A sigh left her lips before she hide her face between her hands.

"I told you I love you," she didn't want to see the disgust on his face, not when she knew he wouldn't want to be loved by someone like her.

"Good God, I'd burn this world for you," then a follow of your name. "Now, I'm going to kiss you, and you're going to say it again and again. I've waited so many years to hear this from you."

He took her hands out of her face and kissed her rough and sweet if it's possible. But, actually, everything is possible to Lucien Vanserra.

Perhaps she didn't like what the Asteri stood for, and the swallowing was a method of dragging her into Prythian - "No one has spoken that language in this world for fifteen thousand years" is quoted by Amren when Bryce first speaks to her in HOSAB...interesting that the 7th Asteri sister was swallowed by the prince of pit 15,000 years ago - to me the timelines match up - I know Amren doesn't feed on first light, but she does drink blood...something of power in itself, taken unwillingly - She is said to be a powerful creature of unknown origins, but that doesn't mean that she isn't Asteri. They have chosen angel like bodies but that's not to say they true form is any different to what Amren was before she chose to be put in a fae body -> Could be grasping for straws here but it feels RIGHT

Ruhn looks like Rhys - are they related? - are Rhy's ancestors part of the original fae that went to Lunathion? After all, Theia and "her people were already in Lunathion" when the Asteri arrived (see next bullet to explore this) -> Funny how we don't know Rhys' last name. Could it possibly be... DANAAN?

Bryce and Ruhn's ancestors came from Prythian and ultimately, to the original world of the Fae - Rigelus mentions that Bryce's breed of fae came from a "verdant land, rich and magic". When Bryce lands in Prythian...what type of grass does she land on? "Verdant grass". - Rigelus mentions that Bryce's star of her chest is a "beacon to the world from which the Fae originally came" and that it will lead them back to that world..interesting that Bryce wanted to go to Hel, but ended up in Prythian

Theia came from the lost Dusk court / the Dusk court plays into it somehow -> Danika's project is called Dusk's Truth...coincidence? I think not.

Throne of Glass and Erilea are going to play into this cross over some how - Rigelus mentions that the wolves/shifters are fae but not from where Bryce's type of fae are from...but he does mention that they all came from a different planet where "all the Fae in that world shared their form with an animal" and they perhaps at one stage, "shared a world with [Bryce's breed of Fae" -> I can't keep a certain fae hawk, mountain lion and wolf out of my head - ToG has witches to...perhaps they also went through a rift to Lunathion -> SJM will have us ToG fans beating down her door if she doesn't do a crossover with our fav characters - it's happening and I refuse to believe otherwise

The horn is the fourth trove I´m so fucking sure about it now (had this theorie since the first cc book but now i´m just so sure about it)

Hunt is somehow related to Thurr? - I mean we ALL thought that the underking was Hunts father, but that theory is kind of dead in the water. Guy is an asshole and there was no recognition there - Bryce mentions many times he looks like Thurr, and his powers are similar...how are they connected? Son? Grandson? Timelines are unclear

Rifts are everywhere throughout SJM's books - does a lot of passing happen between worlds more than we are aware? I know Theia and her daughters figured out where all the rifts were in Lunathion, promptly closing them, but that doesn't mean there aren't rifts still open in our other favorite worlds...meaning crossing can happen a lot more easily than we think It would explain a lot of cross-over between linage and missing characters showing up in other SJM series

What do you think about these?

my 100% brutal and honest reaction to house of sky and breath after finishing it:

that book broke my back, cured my ear infection, cleared my skin, gave me more acne, killed me with a heart attack, revived me with lightning, spit in my face, and slapped me on the ass and said "good game"

and i wouldn't have it any other way
