I loved it

yeah I think we all cry when THEY died :'(

One of Gwyn's favorite book characters are killed off and Azriel comforts her.

This was my first time writing gwynriel. Ever. I hope I did a decent job. It's only 370 words but here you go.

Azriel’s shadows were the first to move, darting around wildly, as a pained shriek reached his ears. He wasn’t far behind them, nearly tripping over his own two feet in his haste.

As he rounded the corner he saw the door ajar and slowed before entering the room. His shadows trailed in first and when they didn’t return and report back almost immediately he started to panic. That was until he heard Gwyn’s quiet laughter. He was still on high alert but relaxed minimally at the sound.

Gwyn looked up as he entered the room, a small smile graced her lips. Her eyes were rimmed with red and she occasionally sniffled but he couldn’t tell what had upset her. His shadows danced around her playfully and her eyes trailed their movement.

He settled down next to her without saying anything, their thighs touching. A moment later she laid her head on his shoulder.

“The Thirteen just died.” Gwyn’s eyes filled tears again and she grabbed another tissue. Az noted that there were tissues already covering the coffee table.

“The who?”

“The-” Gwyn cut herself off with a sob. “They should still be alive.” She shoved the tissue into her face, covering her distraught expression.

“It’s okay.” Azriel tried, patting Gwyn’s shoulder awkwardly. “They’re not real.”

“Not real,” She screeched, sobbing. “You don’t know shit, shadowsinger.”

“Alright. Alright. I don’t know shit.” He pulled her closer and she buried her face in chest.

Gently he pried the book from her hands, marking her page before setting it down on the table. Stroking her hair Azriel listened to Gwyn rant about the book, the words a bit muffled.

“Can I do anything?” He asked, pressing a kiss to her hair.

Gwyn sniffled, pulling back and shuffling till she was comfy.

“I need tea, a blanket, and more tissues. I’m finishing this book and I better finish it with a smile.”

Azriel squeezed her shoulder, kissing her quickly. Gwyn smiled into the kiss.

Gwyn dropped down onto the bed next to Azriel. Her hair was messy, a blanket was wrapped around her shoulder, and her eyes were bloodshot.

She gave him an expressionless look.

“My life is over. This book destroyed my sanity.”
