#Tamlin’s healing arc

[thefatesofspring]

Guys just imagine it…

Tamlin has a mate & his mate also has a visible mate mark on her hand & arm but unlike Feyre’s ugly thing Tamlin’s mates mate mark is glowing gold, with forest greens & rose reds & it’s absolutely beautiful, vines/swirls in the gold & green that look as if they’re wrapping around her arm & fingers, different flowers that bloom off the vines that represent the spring court & at the centre of her palm is a large bloomed flower that Tamlin tells his mate reminds him of her & inside that flower is Tamlins fiddle, a music note & a line from a poem he made for her…🥹

On the upside of her hand in the center are the white stag antlers that he has to hunt every Calanmai, a crown that’s wreathed in flowers but also on fire…like the one that symbolises Aelin

Ps in my head canon Tamlin’s mate is a black woman that in her 30’s so imagine that mark on her beautiful brown skin😩😍

You know now that I’ve just described I really want to get this tattooed on me😩🤍

I commissioned art of my Tamlin / OC Amawyn for my fic A Court of Brittle Thorns.

I'm obsessed with Tamlin with horns.

Love him or hate him at least Tamlin apologized, admitted what he did wrong, and tried to change for the better. His actions were to save his people and the one he loved. Tamlin also didn’t need to save Rhysand and Feyre but he did because despite everything they did he wanted her to be happy.

Tamlin is many things but a villain isn’t one of them.

tamlin would 100% brush your hair and hold you tightly, offering you silent comfort after a bad day.

Unpopular Acotar opinion:

Tamlin doesn’t need a redemption arc - he needs a healing arc.

I think he has earned his redemption (or at least part of it) through his actions in ACOWAR:

- Exposing his cover in Hyberns camp to help Feyre escape

- Coming with what little army/support he had left to help during the war (even after Feyre destroyed his Court and left them defenceless)

- “Be happy, Feyre” ???

He saved Rhysands life!!! He did not have to do that. If he were a true villain, he would have let Rhys die, would have wanted Feyre to suffer.

Yes, he has a LONG way to go but if (hopeful when) we get some kind of Tamlin book I hope that man finds peace, I hope he heals. I want him to find happiness.

”Tamlin’s too vanilla and boring, he would never!!” MY SISTER IN CHRIST HE B I T HER IN THE HALLWAY AND WAS DIVING BETWEEN HER THIGHS EVERY THREE PAGES LIKE IT WAS THE LAST SUPPER ‼️‼️

Working on a picture for A Court of Peace and Ire, my Tamlin healing arc short fan fic, and I'm very happy with the comp for this piece :)

Scene from the first chapter when Nyx accidentally winnows into the Spring Court Manor, right in front of a Tamlin very knee deep in his depresso espresso

[lainalit]

IC Stans: " Tamlin doesn't deserve a redemption/ healing arc, he is an abuser they don't deserve anything"

and yet you are out here defending Rhysand's and Cassian's abusive actions against feyre and Nesta in utm and in acosf, so there do we go from here?

I saw this Tik Tok talking about Feyre and Tamlin's love story/beauty and the beast and it was a good one.

As everyone knows, the first love story is based on beauty and the beast; Feyre being Belle (hg can't read so I don't know why she's Belle) and Tamlin being the beast.

The og creator said that Feyre is actually the enchantress, the woman who cursed the beast (she "cursed" Tamlin by ruining his court which is one of the reasons why he's in his beast form).

Meaning that Tamlin is still waiting for his "Belle". (Gave me more hope that he'll get his healing arc)

Thoughts on it?

🌸Breakfast in Spring🌸

Tamlins healing in his own way, and getting support from Reader and Lucien.

Tamlin x Reader, Tamlin x You

This ones a little odd, but I hope you enjoy it.💚

You sat in your normal spot at the large dining table in the Spring Court Manor and began fixing your plate and Tamlins for breakfast. Steaming trays of eggs, sausage, and hashbrowns, accompanied with a beautifully arranged fruit platter, sat before you. Lucien entered the dining hall, dressed impeccably and ready to start the day. He took his seat in front of you while Tamlins seat remained empty. "Good morning, is Tam on his way?" Lucien asked, as he began fixing his own plate.

"He's sitting behind me." You answer without looking up, piling more meat than usual onto Tamlins plate. Lucien gives you a confused look as he stretches to look behind you. Sure enough, there is Tamlin, in his beast form, laying at your feet, waiting patiently for his plate.

"What?" Lucien asks, one eyebrow raised, a small laugh escaped as he processes the absurdity of the situation.

"He doesn't want to be a Fae today, so I am taking over for him." You answer as if this is as normal as anything, while reaching down to set Tamlins plate in front of him. Tamlin lets out a small growl. "No. Fae Tamlin eats at the table, Beast Tamlin eats on the floor. You can't have it both ways." You scold him gently and pat his head. Tamlin let's out a grumble but then proceeds to eat politely.

"I have no idea what's going on." Lucien admits, hoping you will explain further. You take a bite of your own food before answering.

"He's been through a lot, you all have. If this is what he needs to heal, so be it," you shrug, one hand resting on Tamlin's head, scratching him softly.

Upcoming ACOTAR fics: Little Sprout Verse

A series of one-shots set before, during, and after Koschei’s War, and mostly focuses around Tamlin and his various relationships as the years change.

Set twelve years after the events of HOFAS (bare knowledge necessary), and nearly three after the end of Koschei’s War, Prythian has entered an era of peace unseen since the days of King Fionn himself.

To an outsider, anyway. The reality isn’t as pretty.

The Seasonal Courts have finally found a balance in their coexistence. Autumn finds itself in an era of prosperity and growth under its newly crowned High Lord. Summer staggered at first, but with the finalization of its codified equality laws and a first successful season of its Council of Voices, High Lord Tarquin’s dreams are soon to be a reality. Winter has welcomed a new heir—a son, to join their growing family.

Spring has been revitalized, nearly comparable in splendor to how it was in the years before Amarantha. Cities have been rebuilt, and more and more of Spring citizens have returned from their refuge. Century-long alliances respected; a family reunited at last. And soon, its citizen will celebrate in the most grand celebration: the upcoming nuptials between their beloved High Lord and High Lady.

The Solar Courts, however, have increasingly found themselves in disarray. Though Day prospers as it always has, High Lord Helion finds himself heartbroken over the discovery and subsequent rejection of his only son, who has returned to Spring. Dawn stands strong in its neutrality, but chaotic forces from the north seek to destabilize their hard-earned peace.

A rebellion has formed in the far north. Citizens have fled in dead night, with no traces to be found. Dead, maimed males found scattered over the Illyrian Steppes. Natural disasters ravage the western bank of Night. The Night Court stands alone, its Inner Circle fractured beyond repair as sides are drawn, and mating bonds break. The newly risen Dusk Court has returned to stake its claim on what is rightfully theirs.

The agreed biennial High Lords meeting is soon upon them. A recon mission gone wrong has resulted in multiple hostages in the hands of Night’s sworn enemy. Grudges will be settled; recompense will be delivered. For the High Lady of Spring is out for blood.

Tamlin: Feyre I need to take care of something can you please-

Feyre: NO! I do what I want!

Tamlin: Feyre please…

Feyre: You can’t stop me I’m going for a walk!

Tamlin: Feyre enough! It’s not safe and there’s something bad happening soon that I’m trying to prevent so you can get better and our people will be safe so just stay here please.

Feyre: How could you?! *collapses onto fainting couch* I can’t live in these horrible conditions.

Rhysand: *breaks down the door* Did someone say abuse?

[yourlittlebunnyy]

tamlin sometimes just needs some time to rest. better if you are there with him. it's not like he had a bad day or he is sad, no, sometimes life's just too much for him.

he is not the type to cry or talk or express his feelings too much, the complete opposite actually - he tried to hide this vulnerability for all his life, until you.

he can't explain it but just your presence, just you being on his side, is enough to make him feel safe, protected. that's the most beautiful thing you ever thought him - that it's okay not to be okay, and it's okay to be vulnerable.

so when its one of those days when he feels like everything is against him, he comes home with a tired expression and tight muscles. but you're always there, always waiting for him on the porch smiling like a ray of sunshine and that almost makes him forget why he was feeling like that in first place.

you greet him with open arms and a sweet kiss, and some days it's enough, some it's not. but you know him so well, you can feel everything hes feeling through the bond, and in those cases you always make sure to cook his favorite dinner and grab his favorite poetry book.

those days can go two ways, he can stay in this form, or he can shapeshift in whatever he feels the most comfortable. sometimes it's a small and cuddly animal, like a cat or a bunny, sometimes it's something more scary looking, like a viper. but you dont care as long as he is on your side, and it's the same every night. he always lays his head on your thighs, a cosy blanket covering him or his cloak while you read him his favorite limericks and occasionally sip some tea. one hand finds its place on his hair, caressing it gently until he falls asleep.

and that's enough for him. to feel better, to feel loved. you let him sleep using your thighs as a pillow all night. you eventually fall asleep too, comforted by his warm presence. moments like these are so important for the both of you, for healing the wounds in your hearts. and tamlin is so grateful to have you, to have such a beautiful and pure soul on his side.

*wanders out of the Tardis*…oh hi there. Time passed?! What year is it? I may have forgotten that the majority of the audience hasn’t read all seventeen chapters of this — oops. Welcome back to Prythian. An all new chapter of A Ballad of Thorns and Roses has been posted.

As always, big thank you to all of my betas, who sometimes read four or forty different versions of these scenes before convincing me that it is good enough to move on. Bless them for joining a discord, dealing with my endless spam of questions, and continued fascination with this character and his haunting narrative. Betas: @ennawrite & @wingsdippedingold 👏👏👏

Big shoutout to both the besties who remain half the reason of why this story keeps going and one hundred percent the reason why I am brave enough to publish it. If I was writing this for only the two of you — it would be worth it. @shadowqueenjude - thank you for your equal enthusiasm and equal patience with making sure I take care of myself @sonics-atelier thank you for honestly being the biggest, best fan of this rewrite since day one.

I actually violently hate the people who comment “It’s a canon event, we can’t interfere!” on posts about new readers liking Tamlin or Chaol.

Let them come to that conclusion on their own!!! Why would you go out of your way to spoil it for them??? Plus, not once did I hate Chaol or Tamlin while reading these series. Some of y’all are just dramatic for no reason but 🤫

Tamlin healing arc fanfic

Lots of angst, some fluff, more angst, and lots of political maneuvering for the future. It's time the spring court makes a comeback.
