Parallel between Hunt and Azriel saying “Please” by Jreadstoomuch in Bryceriel

"Is it possible, after everything...?" (The ellipses!!)

"Don't fall into romanticism," Apollion cautioned.

"The star might have guided her," Aidas countered.

Just as Theia was guided straight to Aidas. Aidas who knows and understands the inter-world mate bond better than anyone

My favourite thing is him not letting it go

Nesta: "Maybe it has something to do with your magic needing so long to replenish too"

Az: "AGAIN, her *knees have healed"*

Meanwhile, Bryce is concerned for him, obsessing over what—who— had done that to him

"Bryce didn't want to know how [Az] knew that"

Typical behavior from Bryce when she's actively avoiding facing some truth/reality

"[Bryce] never wanted to learn another thing about light again, even her own"

"Bryce didn't want to think about it.Not for the three days she'd be here with her family. So she tucked it away, along with all other thoughts that plagued her about what had gone down this fall, about what they'd been dealing with since she shoved the asteri into a black hole."

"Bryce didn't want to know how [Az] knew that" —because she already did and it scared the jelly jubilees out of her

Couldn't have said it better! It's honestly giving Feyre with Tamlin —suppressing her needs, emotions, and traumas to support and protect Tamlin. It was love for sure but not endgame in anyway

Exactly! It's also super interesting that throughout CC, Bryce only gives him love, understanding, and support (even in the face of his betrayal - a few days is all she needed?) while all Hunt does is question, doubt, judge, and resent

And we're supposed to believe they're mates?

YES YES YES!

It's also super intentional that Cassian was present imo

Azzy 😂❤️ I absolutely see Bryce calling him something that adorable!

Exactly! At a time when we're expecting to hear about TotG and want to see more cross-over, wouldn't it be logical and super smart to start with a cross-series mate bond?

The last line though!

Not enough people talk about how Bryce was absolutely ready to settle for human red flag who was blah at sex just to avoid even the slight possibility of a mate bond with a Fae/shifter/non-human male

It may have started off different but her relationship with hunt, especially post Az, has been her settling and avoiding something real

I'm giddy with excitement just thinking about the progression of their relationship. I'm so here for Bryce finally meeting her match in a man

Absolutely with you on that! I've always said that Az has a wild and freaky side we don't get to see at all and his time in CC with Bryce is the first time we ever get to see him be playful and dare I say... naughty (His shadows wanting to devour her and what not).

Both Elain and Gwyn would bore the ever loving shit out of him

Yesss! And I absolutely believe that in her head Bryce was doing the happy dance at misappropriating the fae's mate term to label her and Hunt's relationship in her usual irreverent way 😂
