Gwyn - Chapter 28

Gwyn - Chapter 28

A glance over her shoulder revealed Gwyn walking to the water station, either to give the two males privacy or from discomfort at being left with them.

What scars had been etched so deeply in Gwyn that two of the most trustworthy males in this entire land couldn’t put her at ease.

Gwyn - Chapter 55

Azriel had winnowed her and Cassian here after training, but hadn’t lingered. Apparently, Gwyn wanted him to go over dagger handling, so he’d left them with a promise to return in an hour.

I know Gwyn's powers have already been hinted and absolutely love the possibility she has some really unique, special power, but...

the dAMN PARASITES IN ME still wonder sometimes what it would be like if she had no power or very "small amounts" of it.

I would find a really interesting topic to read and discover more about, how it would feel for her to be powerless while surrounded by incredibly powerful beings. When war comes and she has to fight side by side with Lady Death and The Lord of Bloodshed, while she's simply... Gwyn.

She's not the Cauldron's favorite or blessed by the Mother. No magical sword chose her, her singing sounds special simply because it's beautiful and she definitely can't breathe underwater or lure someone. All she has is a simple, common sword, a witty mind and some training.

And that sounds so unfair when she dedicated her whole life to worship the Mother and the Cauldron, when she was born fae and yet the former human girls who reject fae religion are the chosen ones. Their enemies could kill her in a blink, while the people around her can defend themselves with ice wolves, or silver flames, or freaking sentient shadows. She's nothing but herself, and that seems insufficient. But she'll find out that's more than enough.

and quoting my dear Knife Wife, Wraith of the Barrel, Inej Ghafa: "[...] What about the nobodies and the nothings, the invisible girls? We learn to hold our heads as if we wear crowns. We learn to wring magic from the ordinary. That was how you survived when you weren’t chosen, when there was no royal blood in your veins. When the world owed you nothing, you demanded something of it anyway [...]"

and I could write an essay about Gwyn and Inej's similarities, but it's a dangerous topic because one is the most perfect character I've ever read about and the other one is... written by SJM. Don't get me wrong, Gwyn is my favorite SJM character and she's quite well written, but it's unfair to compare them.

If Gwyn really was a luring lightsinger, it would just make her ten times hotter.

Siren version of the little mermaid? You bet your ass I'm buying that book.

After 7 failed versions, 15 attempts to rewrite it, 2 existential crises, finding out I have a tendency to over explain everything in my story, a lot of useless research and one mildly good idea, I think I'll post a Jealous Azriel one-shot tomorrow.

Hear me out... it's gwynriel's piano lessons, but Gwyn is the teacher.
