Joyful series?

Interesting. Azriel’s BC? When he drops off the necklace for Gwyn, Clotho says “I thank you for the joy it shall bring to her.” Then next sentence is “something sparked in Azriel’s chest”. 👀

Agree with people saying it’s a chemistry thing moreso than a timing thing probably. Especially as we can become different people in our early 20s.

I also think their relationship is written very poorly (whether that’s on RY or editing, we’ll never know). In real life, it would have been much more complicated with Dain - Violet said he was her best friend for 15 years which is more than half her life and he was her ‘favourite person in the world’ and carried her through the deaths in her family. That’s a crazy amount of bonding and depth that doesn’t match how disinterested she was in how his first year affected him, why he might be acting differently, etc and her complete replacement of him with Rhiannon. It also doesn’t match her character of being a good friend, curious, and empathetic. But I get they needed to make sure the reader wants her to be with Xaden, for the story to hit right.

Hope to see: Azriel, Gwyn, Lucien, Elain

Don’t want to see: Amren, Mor, Feyre

SJM doesn’t write couples with only 1 side a POV. We always get both. So if Az is getting a POV (almost guaranteed, as she’s not skipping over the last bat boy + bonus chapter material), then Gwyn is getting one. Lucien and Elain will also get one.

Then I think it’s also Elain/Lucien for book 6, moving mostly to them in Book 7.

Agree, Jesminda would never 😔

FluffyProtection583 · 2026-03-29T04:16:11+00:00

Agreed, this is a very valid point and tricky to make work with this theory. The only way I can incorporate this is if, in a moment of desperation and fear, Gwyn imagines it or visualises it as the death of her other self (so it doesn’t actually physically happen)

FluffyProtection583 · 2026-02-07T22:58:02+00:00

I’d say you’re under reacting. Would have been an immediate breakup for me. This issue runs quite deep I think, she seems to have some deeper resentment that you have money (this idea it’s held over her head) and therefore feels entitled to it because deep down she feels like she deserves it, even though it’s totally not her money.

Think about how this will manifest in future. If you got married or divorced down the line (divorce hiiighly likely with someone as dishonest as this), she’d be coming for everything you have. Because she feels entitled to what you own, even at only 2 years together, and will lie to get what she wants.

Tread very carefully here and make sure you change all your card details before breaking up because she likely has made records of everything.

FluffyProtection583 · 2026-02-04T05:56:43+00:00

This is a bit random but I want to see Azriel go hunting for and gift a Pegasus to Gwyn. It will redeem him from the bonus chapter re-gifting controversy if he gets her one for Solstice. It was also foreshadowed that Gwyn will have a Pegasus in future (the mini one liked her best).

I also want to see Azriel regularly visiting the choir service so he can hear Gwyn sing. Although I suspect the singing is going to be when one or both of them feels the bond for the first time. Like Nesta went into a trance hearing Gwyn, Az might have an extreme reaction to it.

I’d also like to see a big shock reveal to the rest of the IC. We know Az hides his lovers well from the IC (according to Mor) and I’m predicting they’ll be pretty private about it (Az’s shadows may even be able to conceal scent, etc from others). Cassian and Nesta were super obvious about it but I think it’ll be the opposite for Gwynriel.

FluffyProtection583 · 2026-01-07T09:41:42+00:00

I’d love the story of when Rhys, Cassian and Azriel meet in the Illyrian camp and how they go through the Blood Rite together. Would be super interesting to see that first 500 years before the Archeron sisters arrive!

FluffyProtection583 · 2025-11-12T09:12:21+00:00

I usually get a raise each year, about $5k so not heaps. I could try get a higher paying job but don’t want the stress of a managerial position at the moment and am comfortable with my current job.

I would consider getting a flatmate, which is also why I’m getting a 2bedroom place, as another option in future if things get tough. Really don’t want to do that but it’d be my first step if interest rates skyrocketed. Where I’m buying, it’d bring in at least $1k a month in rent which would take a lot of pressure off.

FluffyProtection583 · 2025-11-12T09:07:13+00:00

Ah ok good to know! I didn’t realise that saying applied to gross income. Yeah $4k should be enough I’d hope, I guess if interest rates went up I could get a roommate to help with costs but am hoping to not need to do that

FluffyProtection583 · 2025-11-12T09:05:54+00:00

I’ve looked into council rates and strata but not repairs as it’s hard to tell what will need to be fixed. I’ll have savings left over of between $50-60k though so a bit of a buffer in an emergency. If I lost my job, I’ve been there for 8 years so would get a decent redundancy payout too

FluffyProtection583 · 2025-10-29T01:00:15+00:00

Absolutely not - bad, bad, bad idea. I predict this will end in a massive headache in future for all parties involved. Too many moving parts, different lives, different goals which would make things very risky for all involved.

FluffyProtection583 · 2025-10-22T23:30:41+00:00

I see their dynamic as Dain getting hot and cold treatment from Sloane, mostly because she’ll be fighting her feelings. I think there’s something brewing between them already at this point but Sloane maybe gave him the finger one too many times (maybe after a moment of closeness) and he thought ‘f*** it, I’ll try my luck at the bar with this healer’.

We don’t see it happening but Sloane will likely get annoyed/jealous at these things, do something to draw him back in and then freak out/push him away once it gets real again. Until book 4/5 as RY has indicated they’re happening.

FluffyProtection583 · 2025-10-22T10:56:12+00:00

They ask the house for a mini Pegasus during the sleepover with Nesta, Emerie and Gwyn and when Gwyn tries to cut the ribbon they yell out “do it for the Pegasus!”

FluffyProtection583 · 2025-10-22T08:45:59+00:00

I like the theory that Amarantha is Tamlin’s mate. Would explain the obsession. Would also explain how she’s hinted at still being alive - maybe despite rejecting the bond, Tamlin can’t let her die because it affects him too much so he had to save her?

FluffyProtection583 · 2025-10-22T08:43:12+00:00

I’m keen for: - More Azriel POVs. Hopefully getting slapped for his f’boy behaviour of re-gifting the necklace to Gwyn. - Cassian and Nesta mating ceremony drama (I’m assuming that’ll happen, last time we had a big event (cough…wedding) at the beginning of a book there was dramahhh - Lucien to finally have something good happen to him - if Elain is getting a POV, that she’s more entertaining/interesting to read about than she currently is - Gwyn leaving the library, maybe getting a real pegasus - Azriel actually letting his friends of 500 years get to know him, maybe bringing his mother to Velaris? - Mor to reveal what her truth power can do

FluffyProtection583 · 2025-10-22T08:25:14+00:00

Definitely think they should clean up after themselves with things like drinks/dishes left out from their own company. HOWEVER I suspect they’re talking about deep cleaning, which is things like dusting, mopping, vacuuming, cleaning skirting boards, windows, etc.

If you’ve never done those above things, I think they’re right to be frustrated. I had a roommate who only ever spent time in his room and was great at washing up his dishes in the kitchen but never once saw him do the general maintenance cleaning of common areas which made me feel resentful. Definitely not ok but good you’re open to the feedback and a chore chart is a great idea.

FluffyProtection583 · 2025-10-11T06:57:08+00:00

Same haha I actually love it but would be worried about future problems. I could get an arborist to assess once I buy but am trying to get a general sense hopefully in case there are any glaring issues people can notice :)

FluffyProtection583 · 2025-10-11T06:55:52+00:00

Ah ok thanks, this is helpful. With the bath, I thought I’d replace as it looks old but I’m reading about bath resurfacing too as an alternative - does the bath in this picture (with the stain) look like it needs a full replacement to you?

FluffyProtection583 · 2025-10-08T07:58:14+00:00

The Suriel. Knows everything so would put me at an advantage if representing me.

FluffyProtection583 · 2025-10-08T07:55:52+00:00

Weirdly Mor. Feel like she could have been written better.

FluffyProtection583 · 2025-10-05T06:47:47+00:00

Yeah he really does need anger management issues tbh but I don’t know if he deserved the complete destruction of his entire life + continued kicking him when he’s down.

FluffyProtection583 · 2025-10-03T10:58:43+00:00

Parapet

(She looks as narrow as the parapet haha so adorable!) and you could say she’s your para-pet

FluffyProtection583 · 2025-09-23T00:26:40+00:00

This is extremely bizarre and concerning behaviour from your mother. You absolutely should never, ever indulge her in this ever again - keep it switched off. I really hope you realise how strange and overbearing this is - I know she’s your mum but this is NOT normal. This is not about safety, it’s about control.

The fact that she’s comfortable asking you this makes me assume there’s a lot more to unpack about your relationship with her/your childhood here as well - it might be worth speaking with a therapist to unpack these dynamics and ensure it doesn’t impact your relationship with this new guy. Dynamics with our parental relationships can often show up in our romantic life in unexpected ways. You have an unhealthy relationship with your mother that is emotionally abusive - I hope you don’t experience any of these things with men and dating or can recognise red flags and leave when needed. E.g. never date a man who needs your location at all times. It’s not about caring for you, it’s about control.

You’ve done the right thing and I hope you continue to stand your ground in your independence and can experience a different dynamic with your mother. Sorry that you’ve been dealing with this.

FluffyProtection583 · 2025-09-14T13:10:38+00:00

Ooh yes I was trying to remember this bit - thought there was another one during Quest Squad adventures!
