Reza my boy ;-;

The story was good, but kinda lacked subtlety at the end. Wished we had more awake time but I won't complain lol

A Court of Tangled Flames by @theladyofbloodshed

My first fanbound book. She’s not perfect (so very far from perfect) but she is done and I love her so much!

Typeset and design by me.

ACOTF can be read for free on AO3.

Ten...

We are on the final days of September and in no time at all it shall be October, and time for the first day of the SJM Villain Week. We cannot wait to get started, and to count us down to the first day, we have created a fun activity to get everyone excited!

Every day, a random headcanon for one of the villains will be posted, and everyone is invited their share their own headcanons, either for that villain.

Or we have created Spin The Wheels (links at the bottom of the post) for each of the series if you want to randomly pick out a villain to create a headcanon for.

Of course, you are also welcome to pick out any one or multiple of your favorite villain(s) to share your headcanons about! Tag anyone you know who you think would like to join in!!

SJM Villain Headcanon: Keir (ACOTAR)-

Keir is super into astronomy, he has maps of the stars covering his office. Whatever free time he has outside of his work as Steward and Leader of the Darkbringers, is poured into his hobby. His passion for astronomy was born from the very, very few times he was allowed to leave the Hewn City to visit his relatives in Velaris, and finally got to observe the night sky in all it's glory.

Since then, he has tried to replicate the night sky in the Hewn City. Having the cave ceilings covered with glittering faelights in the same constellations of the real thing. Mapping everything out to be absolutely precise.

It's not the same, but it does well enough. In rare moments of love, Keir might've taken Morrigan out to the makeshift parks built into the Hewn City, and laid on the grass with her to stare at the 'night sky'.

During the holiday of Starfall, when everyone gathers outside in Velaris to witness the great event. Keir creates a replica of the holiday in the Hewn City. Using magic, he makes the faelights 'fall' in a similar manner to the stars during Starfall. (After a few drinks, who in the world could tell the difference between real star dust and the glitter the Hewn City people use anyway?)

HOLY SHIT!!

Is this Xaden indirectly admitting he had a moment where Sgaeyl's emotions over took him and he HAD to go see Tairn/ Violet - the SAME way Violet was over come by Tairn in IF after finding out he was hurt??

And the flirt is all like “You never considered that it was you I couldn’t stay away from?” ☠️

SQUEEEEEEEEE!!!! The double whammy emotional trip our poor boy probably had 🤣🤣🤣.

I swear I saw someone mention this in another post, but it didn't quite click for me until rereading this part of the Montserrat visit in FW.

I love that whole scene where he talks into her head for the first time! It's the most amount of laughs I feel like I heard from him in the book. And it gives me the warm and fuzzies because I think it was a combination of him genuinely being amused at her reaction AND feeling safe enough to show that side of him since it was mind to mind 🥲🥲.

You ever be totally immersed in a story and then you come across a line about a subject and you realize you know more about this subject than the author and what the author wrote down was completely wrong and it's not even that the author didn't do research so much as the author didn't even think this was something that even needed to be researched? And it drives you absolute cuckoo bananas?

[kataraavatara]

“yeah tamlin abused feyre but she shouldn’t have destroyed innocent lives in the spring court-” WRONG. that was not even the worst thing feyre did to him. war crimes is fine, but feyre stealing tamlin’s idea of trapping a woman in a house against her will because of her trauma in acosf and not even CREDITING him? that’s just fucked up.

Bonus scenes I demand from Sarah J. Maas:

Feyre and Rhysand’s mating ceremony

Rowan and Aelin’s wedding

Nesta and Cassian’s mating ceremony

Why must all these scenes happen offscreen?
