#edel kavanagh

[the-dark-artifices-trees]

I find it extremely sad that & ironic:

That edel & john wanted a big family but was never able to

And that...

Marie & Teddy didn't want kids but had 6

[g00dgraces]

"I’d never seen a mother throw down like that for her kid. But Edel Kavanagh had and somewhere, in the back of mind, I got the distinct feeling that Molloy would do the exact same for our kid."

Edel Kavanagh & Aoife Molloy, the blonde milfs

[charsoamerican]

I just finished the whole boys of tommen series and all I can think about is how much I love edel kavanagh

[legacey]

i know a few things, but i still got a lot to learn. she hadn't been able to bear his children for so long, it had taken a lot of money, and a lot of hardship to get their miracle into the world, but there he was. jonathan kavanagh, little johnny. well, not so little now. an eighteen year old rugby player, even playing professional now. but he wasn't an only child anymore. it was a bit complicated to say the least. they might not have come from her womb, but she loved the lynch kids no less for that reason.

hanging up their new stockings, each one with their names embroidered into the matching socks. (and yes, there's one for aoife and aj too - and joey) she would always have the softest spot for joey lynch, and while her husband had told her to tone it down a bit, telling her that she was frightening the boy, she just couldn't help it. to think that he might've never known the loving hold of a mam. never been truly loved and cared for until precious aoife molloy came into his life - but that wasn't true. she saw every single day how her kids loved him. they were his kids too. really, their family tree was a bit complicated, but she wouldn't change it for anything.

"john, love." moving to where he was standing, the kids were all tucked into bed, but she doubted the fact that everyone were asleep. yet she had begun decorating, wanting them to wake up on december first with the house decorated and a tree. "is a new car too much for a christmas present? is that ... bulldozing, as you young people, like to call it?" winking at him when she hints he's one of the young ones, but really it's a term she's learned from her son's friends, especially gerard. precious gerard. he had a stocking on her fireplace too. "maybe we need a bigger fireplace." she mumbles as she tries to figure out the spacing by measuring with her fingers.

Sick Day

Warnings: none besides mentions of feeling sick!

I laid in bed covered by blankets and yet I was still shivering. I felt horrible and haven’t slept a wink all night. I knew that I had to leave for school soon but I just couldn’t find the strength to get up.

I was about to cry from my headache and exhaustion I heard a soft knock on my door. “Baby you awake?” I hear Johnny’s voice softly ask behind the door. I found comfort in his voice and all I wanted to do was curl up into him. I heard my door softly open and close before feeling the bed dip down beside me. Johnny’s hands softly rubbed at my scalp before he leaned down and kissed the side of my head. “It’s time to get up baby” He softly whispered into my ear as he started to rub soothing circles on my arm. All I could do was groan. My whole body hurt and the thought of getting up made me want to cry. “Come on baby” Johnny whispered as he softly sat me up. “There’s my sleepy girl” Johnny smiled as he brushed my sweaty hair away from my face. I let my head fall into his chest as I breathed his comforting scent in.

“What’s wrong baby?” Johnny softly asked as he rubbed my back. He gently moved me away from his chest before kissing my forehead. He immediately pulled back and frowned and then moved the back of his hand to my forehead. “Jesus you’re burning up” Johnny said. “Stay right here” He instructed me as he quickly left my room. I would have gone down and eavesdropped to what he was talking about to doing but I just didn’t have the strength to.

about 5 minutes later Johnny came back in with his mom Edel this time. “Oh pet you don’t look like you’re feeling well” Edel’s soft voice said. “I’m not” I confessed. Both Johnny and Edel gave me a sympathetic look. “Well you just stay home and rest today” Edel said. “I’ll let Johnny stay home as well to take care of you.” Edel said smiling. That brought a smile to my face. “Now I know the rules I have set but I have faith that my son won’t get any notions while you’re in the condition you’re in” Edel said smiling and sending Johnny a look. “Jesus ma!” Jonny said while looking horrified. “Can we not talk about sex while my girlfriend is on the brink of death” Johnny said, the pitch in his voice getting higher. “I was just saying that I trusted you” Edel said defensively. “Well thank you Ma” Johnny grumbled.

30 Minutes later I was in Johnny’s bed with a cold washcloth set on my forehead and a movie playing on his tv. “If you want to move somewhere else like the living room or back to room let me know” Johnny whispered as he kissed my forehead. I didn’t, I loved the comfort of his room and his bed that smelled like him.

“I’ll be right back” Johnny said before getting up. When he opened his door Sookie ran in and laid on the bed next to me. “Hi sookie” I smiled and petted her. “Keep her company Sookie” Johnny smiled down at the old sweet dog and give her a little pet before quickly kissing me on the forehead.

When Johnny came back he had some medicine in his hands and a bottle of water. “Here baby you have to take these” Johnny said. He handed me the water bottle and medicine and I took it, feeling grateful for the way the cool water soothed my sore throat. Sookie got up and went and laid down at the end of the bed so Johnny could sit down beside me. Before Johnny could sit down I softly grabbed his hand. He looked up at me “you ok?” He asked before moving hair away from my face. “Can I wear one of your t-shirts?” I asked softly. Johnny smiled before moving to his dresser and pulling out a T-shirt for me. “This one ok?” He asked me, holding up the shirt. I nodded softly. Johnny walked over and helped me out of the hoodie that I was wearing, and sweated through, before helping me put on his shirt.

Johnny sat back down beside me before he wrapped his arm around my shoulder and softly pulled me into his chest. “Johnny you’re going to get sick” I whispered. “Don’t care” he replied. As much as I didn’t want him to get sick I still nuzzled my face into his chest, I mean i’m sick so I should get a free pass on being a little selfish.

A wave of exhaustion hit me as I curled up into his warm chest some more. I felt Johnny dip his head down before placing a kiss at the top of my head and pulling the blanket up. Before I fully fell asleep I head Johnny’s voice whisper “goodnight my little darling sleep well” and pulled me closer into his chest. I finally let the sleep that i’ve been craving for so long finally take over.

I don’t know how long I was asleep for before I woke up but when I did Johnny wasn’t in bed with me. I frowned and searched his room for him. When I saw that the his bathroom door was open and he wasn’t in there I decided to get up and look for him. My whole body ached as I stepped out of his bed but I came to the realization that It didn’t ache as much as it did this morning and smiled at the thought that I was getting better. I softly went downstairs and headed towards the kitchen when I heard movement.

When I stepped into the kitchen Johnny was there making me soup. I softly smiled at the sight of him stirring the soup in the pot. I walked over and wrapped my arms around him. “You’re supposed to be in bed” Johnny said, though I could hear the smile in his voice. “You weren’t in bed with me when I woke up, wanted to see where you were” I whispered into his back. “I’m making you soup” he said with a big boyish smile on his face.

After a few hours and 3 bowls of soup later we all heard the chaos of my little brothers coming home from school. I smiled as you could hear Tadgh and Ollie arguing. After a few minutes there was a soft knock on the door and Edel came in, “How are you feeling pet?” She asked me, giving me a sympathetic look. “I’m feeling a lot better thanks to Johnny” I replied, smiling at the boy whose chest I was currently resting my head on. “Oh good!” Edel said smiling before leaving the room and closing the door.

“I love you” I told Johnny as I looked up at him and smiled. “I love you too” Johnny said before kissing the top of my head for the thousandth time today. “Thank you for taking care of me” I said. “I’ll always take care of you my little darling” Johnny said smiling. I nuzzled my face into his chest feeling tired once again and as i let sleep take over me I felt a feeling that I could never get sick of.

I felt safe.

i did not mean to make it this long but i’ve been wanting to write for Johnny since like August so I got a little carried away, oops😁

I didn’t know if you wanted Fem reader, gn reader, or Male reader so if you want me to change the pronouns or anything please let me know!!

as always thank you so much for your request 🙏 sorry it took a couple days I’ve actually been sick LMAO which is what inspired this story in the first place 😁 If you want me to add or change anything please let me know!! I appreciate you anon!!

edel kavanagh (binding 13) is definitely a euphemia potter variant.

review:

um... wow... i really can't decide if this is above keeping 13 for me because it's such a close call. it's so wildly different from keeping 13 even if it happens at the same time in the universe as binding and keeping 13. i loved every second of it. even the most painful parts i was in love with. this series overall is easily 6 stars without question and this book just continued to solidify that for me. i will never shut up about the found family in this series and how much each character has begun to mean to me over these 4 books and i know they will only mean more to me in the next book(s).

joey's story is so heartbreaking and so well written out that i think about him and my heart just breaks in the best way. i do think that i still rank johnny above him in my book boyfriend ranking but that's simply because of my type and i think that realistically they are pretty even in terms of the book boyfriend hall of fame. his struggle with addiction is beautifully explored in this book and seeing the way that his blood relatives have failed him and pushed him beyond reason just shatters my soul.

aoife's story is also so painfully well done. you see her struggle with this fight of wanting to save joey but also the internal battle she has about at the same time wanting to save herself and deciding whether or not it's worth going down with joey. her strength is amazing and i feel like it really matches joey in a way that's not talked about enough.

the underdogs of this story that i was so excited to see from joey's pov was john and edel kavanagh. the way they stepped up and the way that they really made joey feel like he could trust two people that weren't his siblings or aoife made me so happy. the lengths they went to for him really warmed my heart after such heavy angst throughout this book.

i'm just truly in love with this book and this couple. i think it's another situation similar to binding and keeping 13 where the first book was necessary and it built everything up but this second book is where the story and the couple shine so bright. i really enjoyed getting to read what else was going on in this "universe" at the same time as johnny and shannon's books and getting the little crossover chapters where we had read them from shannon or johnny's perspective and now getting joey and even aoife's perspective was so fun and i really adored it. i think that finishing this book is so bittersweet because i know that we are moving into 2006 in the next book and 2005 just feels so vital to this series and the story. i can't wait to see where the story goes in the next year but i'll miss this year in a way at the same time.

q & a:

are they endgame? - i'm pretty sure if you say no, you must be as high as joey was for a good chunk of this book. joey and aoife have literally been through hell and back and i think they built themselves such a strong foundation that can't be cracked in the future. they are one of the most endgame couples i've read in a hot second but i think that that comes from the fact that they also know how to fight. they haven't been a "perfect" couple through these books and that makes them even stronger. their love for each other is so strong and i think they are so aware of how to nourish that love that it will last.

did i cringe? - nothing comes to mind actually. i think at this point in the series, the author has found her footing with a lot of these characters and as a reader you've found your own footing in the universe that nothing really makes you cringe like it might have when reading the first book and it's just become comfortable.

favorite part? - i could list a million things but the main thing that comes to mind, after having spent saving 6 away from the tommen characters, is the connection that joey and aoife build with the characters that we've already attached to from johnny and shannon's books. joey's relationship with johnny and gibsie is one of my favorite things in the world and i can not wait to see it be developed more in taming 7. i also wasn't expecting aoife and gibsie as a pairing so much but they have this really sweet relationship that i think is really underrated and i hope gets more time in gibsie's books. obviously in saving 6 there was some connection between aoife and shannon due to her and joey's relationship but i think it just flourishes into this beautiful sisterly friendship that i fell in love with in this book. aoife is so ready to go to bat for shannon and i can feel that same willingness growing in joey for johnny and gibsie and i love it so much.

least favorite part? - i am admittedly having a hard time figuring out my least favorite part... i guess the main thing that i could pick apart is the event pacing but even that is such a minor nitpick for me. there were some events from binding and keeping 13 that i wish had one or two more chapters or ones that i even thought could have used a little less focusing on. but overall, i really still enjoyed every minute of this book.

favorite quotes (some spoilers here, of course, but minimal):

Because every part of me loved every part of her. The good, the bad, and the ugly.

It had taken me six long years to accept that. When she told me that she loved me, she meant it, and it was as unsettling as it was addictive, because if she only felt a fifth for me of what I felt for her, then I was one lucky son of a bitch.

Teddy was the house they were stuck inside, and Marie was the key that refused to turn in the lock and free them.

“You call and I come running,” he told them in a gruff tone, but his eyes were locked on mine as he spoke. “Every time.”

“Your face right here is the only face I’ve been seeing since I was twelve. Because no matter how off my head I’ve been over the years, no matter how far from reality I’ve let my mind wander, I have never lost sight of this face.”

The only person in our lives that had ever taken the time to dig deeper, to push further, was Molloy. Until now.

“Loving your son is effortless,” I cut her off by saying, pushing my damp hair out of my eyes. “It’s getting him to love himself that’s the hard part.”

When you burn, I go down in flames with you. We’re entwined, Joe. We’re mirrors.

“I fucking love the bones of ya.”

“Can I keep one of these?” he asked, holding up the long strip of sonogram images. “Of course,” I replied, my heart bucking wildly in my chest as I watched him carefully tear one off the strip and place it in his wallet. “It’s your baby, Joe.” “Yeah.” Nodding to himself, he placed the sonogram in the picture slot in his wallet and smiled. “He is.”

She was the only thing that felt real in this moment. She was here and she was real. I could smell her, touch her, feel her. Just her.

Johnny Kavanagh was standing here, in the middle of all of my family’s bullshit, and he wasn’t running. Something about him reminded me of Molloy and I frowned.

I’d never seen a mother throw down like that for her kid. But Edel Kavanagh had, and somewhere in the back of my mind, I got the distinct feeling that Molloy would do the exact same for our kid.

“You protected my son’s future, and now I’m here to protect yours,” he finally said, folding his arms across his chest. “Sounds like a fair trade if you ask me.” “Except that I don’t have one of those.” “I’m sure my wife would argue that statement.” He smiled ruefully before adding, “You’ve won yourself a fan, Joey Lynch.”

He had them? My kids? He had them?

“There’s something about you that calls to him. He’s trusting you with his babies. That’s a breakthrough.” “I am all in with these children,” she vowed, voice thick with emotion. “I am all in with him.”

“There was only ever you for me. Stone-cold sober or off my trolly, my head knows that.”

Trusting wasn’t something that came easily to me, not even when it came to writing in a fucking journal. Hating, on the other hand, did. I excelled at hating the world. Not just the world, but everyone in it.

“Maybe before they moved on, someone wanted to make sure his first love had a fighting chance with her first love.”

“I’ve always been a father!” I roared back, chest heaving. “And I’ve done a pretty fucking good job with the four I’ve raised. And yeah, I’m a mess, and yeah, I’m an addict, but I’m a good father! I’m a good fucking parent, Darren. I kept them alive. I kept them fed, and loved, and nurtured, and goddamn educated. I did that. Not you. Not him. Not Mam. Me. So, call me a junkie and whatever the hell else you want to call me, but don’t say that I’m too young to be a father!”

“You can thank Gerard for those,” she said, pointing disapprovingly to the cigarette in my hand. “He smuggled three packets into the bags I packed for you today.” Good man, Gussie.

“I love your family, Joey,” she cut me off by saying, voice thick with emotion. “Each and every one of you.” She winked. “Especially you.”

“Because Aoife is in no way similar to your mother, and you, my big-hearted boy, don’t have a Teddy Lynch bone in your body.”

“Mister Rugby,” I replied, lips twitching up in a smirk that mirrored his, as I stepped forward and accepted his handshake. “Thank you.” With steel-blue eyes full of unconcealed emotion, he offered me a stiff nod. “Anytime, brother.” And that was all that needed to be said between us. He knew it and so did I.

My heart no longer beat for me. For the rest of my days, it would beat entirely for the child in my arms.

They said he was huge, but he looked tiny to me.

“I feel like I died this summer without you and I’m only coming back to life now.”

Wordlessly, she took my hand in hers and placed it to her chest. “Feel that?” “Yeah.” Her heart was hammering violently against my palm. “I feel it.” “That’s you,” she whispered. “That’s what you do to me.” “Still?” “Then. Still. Always.”

“Because in this version of forever, we get the happy ending, Molloy.”

Joey Lynch and Aoife Molloy: both full of flaws and humanly imperfect and yet so undeniably perfect for each other.

But oh am I in such need of a John and Edel Kavanagh book.

Like it'll start with John being in Cork and Edel running away. Then, it ends with Johnny being born.

I'm also kinda hoping that John and Edel kinda hating each other in the beginning and then eventually falling for one another.

Also kinda hoping that they have a small wedding (eloping almost) with just them and John's parents.

And also, I need John to be a rugby player
