This is a HUGE savings over the $44.99 list price and includes my first five novels, my own line drawing illustrations for The Winter Prince, and a photographic bio from my childhood!

I looked at her hard and straight, perplexed, unable to believe her so naive. Then I took her face between my fevered palms and held her close, so that we must look directly at one another. My hands moved down her throat, across her shoulders, until at last they were cupped gently beneath her breasts; and then she knew what I might do to her.

I won't sit by as queen of Dumnonia and watch Britain trickle through Lleu's fingers. If I have to I'll take the kingship from him by force.

Goewin and Arianrhod

First meeting

how much worse would Medraut have turned out if he was raised just by Morgause I wonder

the daughter of cinder

sister to the light and dark, who are you between their worth in the sky? lover the thousand seas, what is your wish to the sky that had once cared for you? daughter of cinder, burn them to ash.

[Follow them, said Goewin, and listen. So he did.]

Hey remember your Zenetien posts and how Rosalia would see his feminine behavior and try to "fix" it? Do you think Artos would've done the same with Goewin?

To be honest I believe Artos occasionally forgets he has a second child. Did they ever talk in the book to one another? I headcanon that when Goewin was small she would keep her hair short, put on boy's clothing and pretend she was Lleu whenever he was sick or felt like skipping his lessons. She did this to make her father spend at least a little bit time with her. The fond memories Artos had of Lleu were all with Goewin. She would have been his favourite child if only she had been born a boy.

He doesn't care about Goewin's masculine behaviour because he isn't long enough at home to notice them, but I also don't think he would see much of an issue with them, Goewin has no other function except being his spare heir and to be married and pop out children. She can learn material arts as long as she knows how to act like the prim and proper lady in front of her suitors. Because the thought of Lleu dying young was always at the back of his mind, I can imagine that Artos granted her an extensive education that had been unusual for most girls her age.

There might have been a time when they had been close and Goewin was blossoming under the attention her father gave her, because he had already given up on Lleu making it to adulthood and was in the progress of preparing Goewin to become his heir.

omg yes I am apart of so many more fandoms, I'm just not sure which one you are apart of. and the reason why I never made any posts on orv is because I have never found anyone who loved yoo joonghyuk as much as I do (also I have never found bottom yjh people ever soooo)

also I will never try to hate on a ship, as long as the shipper does not try to shove it in my face, I will always love the ship and talk about with a genuine interest !

I also lleu's character very underdeveloped and just... unchallenging in general. If lleu was genuinely made to challenge medraut and medrauts temper tantrum was much more reasonable, then maybe I would have liked him. I definitely would've loved medleu had it truly been with 2 developed characters with both having personality (aka medraut meets the standard and lleu does not)

and then goewin, GAHH I LOBE YOU.

I find the self-cest/spyjh ship extremely intriguing and genuinely so complex, imagine loving another version of you, less experienced, and so so naive. Imagine loving someone who don't even know is another version if you, destroyed to no return, like??? It should be a crime for it to be a rare pair !

(also I read a han sooyoung/kim dokja/yoo joonghyuk fic and it just scrambled my entire brain completely like girl you are literally on to something and I think it makes us moot worthy!)

I never read the novel either, but you inspired me to start reading it (apparently there's an epub?? it was said it was on orv reddits pinned post, but I can't find it anywhere)

orv has taken over my entire life (do drop the fics you're reading I am curious) so I'm not really active in any other fandom right now lol. I downloaded the orv epub here btw. good luck soldier

for twp - medraut and goewin really understand each other is what gets me. they both are better suited for the throne than Lleu but cannot take it because society forbids it - goewin because she is a woman and medraut because he is a bastard. they're both failed by Artos' off hands parenting method. they both love and are envious of lleu. goewin is the first to know about medrauts nightmares and scars but does not judge him, and he in turn defends her right to swear fealty in court. "I fear you as little as you fear me" theres mutual trust there.

medlleu is more medraut projecting his Issues onto Lleu. In the first chapter he comes back and quickly becomes devoted to Lleu's safety and comfort in a desperate bid to keep himself occupied and not think about his past two years at Orcades. as goewin tells him - he's come back changed, scarred. he's traumatized and latches on onto the first hint of stability he has, which is lleu.

Lleu is… well I think his childhood of constant sickness really fucked him up. He had no choice but to put his life in medraut’s hands and ‘trust him utterly’ knowing that he could do nothing if medraut decided to hurt him. That’s gotta be tough. All he had were his words, which he said carelessly, unknowing of how much impact and hurt they do medraut. Well, medraut hid it on purpose too. I can't speak on any development he gets in further books, but I’ve come around to his character.

there's interesting friction there, but we only see medraut's extremely biased point of view
