Soo... Sorry For The Wait (if Anyone Is Waiting For It, Though I Doubt It). The Jealous Az One Shot Accidentally

Soo... sorry for the wait (if anyone is waiting for it, though I doubt it). The jealous Az one shot accidentally became a two chapter story, so it took a little longer. It will probably come out by sunday.

(Also, if anyone has one character in particular as an interesting suitor to flirt with Gwyn and make Az go mad, please leave in the notes)

And, to the main point of this post, I'm thinking about writing something a little bit longer since I'm reconnecting with writing. Nothing elaborate, but I had two things on my mind:

a) An modern AU where Gwyn is a PhD student and a research assistant trying to release her first song and Azriel is a private investigator analysing a murder case that happened years ago, but had no solution. They meet at Cassian's gym.

b) A sort of collection of one-shots that are not really one-shots because they form a full story, but there's no real plot (I guess) about Gwyn's pregnancy and their babies. I understand this may be a little weird to some people, but it just lives rent free on my mind. They would be mated for a long, long time and completely ready for babies since I don't really like unplanned pregnancy stories.

Soo, I was thinking about starting to write again and since my current obsession is Gwynriel, I'll obviously write something about them.

I have too many ideas about this couple and can't decide between them, so

Sarah is just taking this long to write the damn book because she can't decide if it's Gwynriel or Elucien 🙏

This is a Gwyneth Berdara defense post.

And yes, it’s open to all, I want them ALL to see it. Let me explain to you why we say the “Gwyn is a lightsinger” theories are horrible:

1. Luring people to do things against their will is a bad character trait to write for a SA survivor like Gwyn. It’s bad writing, it’s out of character and it doesn’t fit. One of SA’s key points is will and consent, because survivors get that taken away from them by their abusers. Do you really think Gwyn will do that to somebody else when that’s the thing that hurts her the most? When her heart got torn out of her chest just by telling Nesta and Emerie about it during the Blood Rite?

2. “But she’s not aware she’s doing it”. Sweetie, that take’s even worse. Imagine what that will do to her when she realizes she’s been luring people to do things agains their will without knowing it. It will devastate her. Sarah will not do it, mark my words.

3. Cassian’s definition of a Lightsinger DOES NOT APPLY to Gwyn. Is this definition accurate? We do not know, but from what we DO know, it doesn’t fit Gwyn. Gwyn IS NOT a Lightsinger by this definition.

4. Does Gwyn have some sort of powers? Abso-fucking-lutely. But trust me, they do not lure anyone to do anything they don’t want to do.

If you need an explanation for what compelled Azriel to go downstairs and give that necklace to Gwyn; then look towards a possible mating bond between him and Gwyn. That’s what pulled him to her. You’ll have better luck with that theory. Sarah did point to it after all with the ✨spark✨in Az’s chest while thinking of Gwyn’s joy. Azriel didn’t need any mind trick or evil spell to think about her.

My girl is the least problematic character the Acotar series has ever seen and you only wish she was a forgetable side character. So put some respect on Gwyneth Berdara’s name (First of her name, Priestess of Velaris, First Valkyrie and Seventh Carynthian of the Blood Rite)

So, there's a lot of discussion right now about the color of Gwyn's hair (???) so I wanted to give my thoughts on it.

Oh, just wanted to add, she's so insignificant that even her hair's color is subject for discussion, you see...

Now, to the point:

Apparently, not even SJM actually knows what her hair color is, since it's described like this:

"Rich coppery chestnut", "Coppery brown", "Copper" and apparently it looks like "strands of gold" in sunlight.

Now, if you search on pinterest, these terms are used for basically the same color:

It may be because I have the most brown hair to ever brown, but that looks a lot like red hair to me.

The thing is, why is it described as "strands of gold" in sunlight? Gold is the color used to describe Mor's hair, which is very very blonde. This perhaps indicates that lightning in the library is not the best and Gwyn's hair may be lighter than first described.

But then, why does anyone care??? She could be bald and would still be beautiful, funny, smart, brave and in possession of a ✨charming irreverence✨ that delights a certain Spymaster. Deal with it.

"Azriel's threw a party" is so real 😭😭😭

Little shadows were like "HEY WE FOUND OUR MATE 💃🕺💃🕺" "She's so beautiful, Imma dance" " She has some power but I can't figure it out what is it 🧐🧐🧐" "IDK look at her eyes🥹🥹🥹"

”But Azriel’s powers reacted the same as Nesta’s in response to Gwyn.”

Me, throwing a dictionary at this line of thought because singing and dancing are not the same as grumbling, and antis clearly need all the help they can get:

Nesta’s powers grumbled like a beast that was slightly disturbed by another powerful being.

Azriel’s threw a party.
