I need people to understand that my hyperfixation ships are limited to one thing: a man who is usually in full control of himself meeting 1 woman and losing complete and utter control over absolutely everything he does.
I just like to watch when they go full feral for a woman who could literally chew them up and spit them out, but choses to let them stick around because I don't know, it's nice to have someone carrying their bag or whatever.
I wish Sazed wrote about Kelsier and Mare meeting Vin and Elend after everything. I need to know that Mare embraced Vin like she's the daughter she never had. I need to know that Kell smiled at El and told him he did well. I need to know that Kell hugged Vin and let her know that he's so proud of her.
Currently incredibly frustrated by the fact that there’s an incredible lack of information about what happened after Sazed left Terris and when he began helping the skaa rebellion.
Like just to summarize what I can find on coppermind and skimming through the books again:
-Knew Mare (most likely before he knew anyone else/anyone else knew him)
-Mare introduced him to Kelsier
-Began helping the rebellion
-Only terrisman to actually support the rebellion
-Served as a messenger and gathered information
-Introduced to Vin by Kelsier
And that’s literally it. Like there’s so much that could be there but I feel like we know nothing, and I feel like the “Kelsier’s crew” and “skaa rebellion” get used very interchangeably when referring to the groups before Kell and Mare are sent off to Hathsin.
Him working with the skaa rebellion would imply that he had more of a relationship with Marsh than Kelsier, right, since Marsh was the leader of the rebellion and we know Kell was more focused on his own thieveries and stuff than helping the rebellion?
How did Mare meet him? Did they meet before or after she joined the rebellion and started helping Kell's crew?
Honestly when it comes to Mare, Sazed, Kelsier, and Marsh, there's just so much blank space and so much we don't know about when it comes to ANYTHING before the start of Final Empire, so if y'all have any WOBs I've missed or stuff I skimmed over in the book or literally just any theories to fill this gap, I'd be forever in your debt because I'm trying to work out stuff for a fic of my own right now and I've got nothing.
Questo simbolo è stato ritrovato dipinto nel Book of Kells.
La rappresentazione dei due cigni rappresenta l'unità tra due persone come un vincolo infinito (cerchio) che trascende da tutto in quanto i cigni sono animali che si accoppiano a vita.
Due che diventano una sola mente, un unico pensiero.
Il Sorgere del Sole
In questo simbolo di protezione il semicerchio rappresenta il sole.
Inoltre se il cerchio rappresenta completezza il semicerchio rappresenta la rinascita e il risveglio spirituale.
Era utilizzato dai Druidi per focalizzare il potere degli elementi.
Awen
Questo simbolo prende il nome da una parola gallese che significa “ispirazione”, anche se letteralmente vuol dire soffio, una benevola brezza capace di parlare al cuore del poeta facendo riferimento al Calderone dell'Awen che avrebbe donato sapienza e ispirazione poetica a chiunque vi avesse bevuto.
Il simbolo è diventato di uso comune nel neo druidismo, i cui membri sostengono che le tre linee contenute nel cerchio rappresentino il cielo, la terra e il mare e dunque il corpo, la mente e lo spirito così come la saggezza, l’amore e la verità.
Il simbolo consiste in tre raggi, a volte interpretati come fiamme, e sta a rappresentare l’armonia dell’universo.
Si pensa che i raggi di destra e sinistra rappresentino il maschile e il femminile, mentre quello centrale l’equilibro tra di essi, in un certo senso può essere considerato la versione celtica dello yin e yang.
La Croce di Caithlin
La Croce di Caithlin può essere chiamata anche Croce Scozzese.
È una croce a lati uguali, i quattro trifogli raffigurati sono simboli di protezione dal male proveniente dalle quattro direzioni cardinali, mente il cerchio simboleggia la continuità o crescita spirituale, quindi ciascun quadrante evoca il potere della trinità.
I Tre Leoni Celtici
I Tre Leoni Celtici forniscono protezione dalle forze del male.
Questo simbolo include trascendenza, conoscenza della vita e la capacità di lasciare andare via le cose non buone e mettersi in superiorità a queste ultime. Aiuta anche a superare le pressioni della vita di ogni giorno.
La Croce di Afsling
La Croce di Afsling simboleggia un cambiamento.
In particolare nella tradizione celtica indica un guardiano che protegge dalle forze del male.

I guess I’m live-blogging my Mistborn experience lol. So here are my current thoughts, a bit over halfway through:
Ham is suspicious. I’m calling it now, he is UP to something. Those comments about the skaa and the Lord Ruler and wondering if the nobility has been right the entire time actually, absolutely gives me “upcoming betrayal” vibes. My running crackpot theory is that it was actually Ham who sold Kelsier and Mare out to the Lord Ruler. Because it definitely wasn’t Mare herself, the book is spending too much time insisting it could only have been her imo XD
I was going to say something about Vin’s optimism with the nobility, but that just got tempered a bit by her discussion with Dockson. So neat lol. I do still think that optimism is going to be relevant though, she’s the only one who wants to give the nobility a chance, and the only one who thinks some of them can be salvaged. Which is in direct contrast to everyone insisting they’re evil. I’m betting Vin is going to get the crew contacts in the nobility, and that’s what’s going to let the rebellion succeed.
She is probably going to it through Elend and that’s,,, hnnng. As a certified Romance Hater(tm) I do not love the romance they’ve got going on. But I do really like their dynamic and what it means for the story. I just think we could’ve made them friends instead XD
I’m also excited to see Vin back to using her Allomancy to spy on Elend and his friends in the last chapter I read. I was getting antsy for her to go do thiefy stuff again lol
And Vin and Kelsier’s entire dynamic? I am rotating them around in my mind and drawing hearts and sparkles all around them. That’s a father/daughter dynamic if I’ve ever seen one, and Kell absolutely sees Vin as a daughter. He literally said he wished he had one with Mare, that carried her “dark hair and stubbornness”. Vin’s his kid and that entire sequence in Kendrik Shaw got me alright?? Love them <3
Watching the BBC Jane Austen adaptations and I’m just imagining a Mistborn P&P <3
Elizabeth a secret Mistborn, Darcy something cool, like a Tin-eye or thug. Lydia no Allomancy at all, but Wickam? He’s a rioter! :OOOOOOOOOO
“That Zinc tongued raven STOLE OUR GIRL!” Elizabeth of course, goes and kicks ass. I mean, she’s a Mistborn, and this isn’t REALLY Regency England.

Work Text:
The first thing Lila felt was the heat. Death wasn’t as cold as people claimed, not at first. No, the steal burned hot as the Copper Thief thrust a blade through her chest. “This is for Kasnov,” he snarled. And then the warmth of it all spread, and then she was falling. Down...down… The sky she looked into was black. Death must really be everywhere, for now she could feel the heat of it seeping from cuts on her hands. “Let me in, let me in, let me in,” chanted the darkness. She realized then that it wasn’t the sky at all, but Osaron, dragging her off the edge of the Sanctuary Garden. She scrambled, trying to find purchase, but she couldn’t breathe from the wound in her chest. No, wait. That wasn’t correct. She hadn’t been stabbed during this brush with death, she knew this. But she still coughed, and still tasted the blood in her mouth, and still felt it running down her arms and her chest. And then she was falling again.
And then Astrid Dane stood before her, pale as ever. And Lila watched in horror as Astrid’s face became her own, and her knife was plucked out of her hand. “Now,” said the evil queen, “I think I will go help Kell.”
Her scream was lost in her throat, as darkness swallowed her again, and then she felt the world tip under her as she was falling again.
~*~
Lila shot up in bed, sweat slicking her face and sides, as she tried to register where she was. She took several deep breaths before registering that she was on a ship. In her delirious, post-nightmare haze, she thought for a brief moment that she might be on the Sea King. But then her vision cleared, and she registered the body next to her.
No. She was on the Night Spire. And Kell was lying next to her. She was surprised he was still asleep, her dreams--no, nightmares--had been so loud to her that she was sure everyone else aboard could hear them too.
She pulled her legs up to her chest and buried her face in her knees. Her uneven breathing gave way to shaky sobs. And then she felt Kell stirring next to her.
“Lila?” He asked, voice full of concern. She sniffed, and he sat up, pulling her against him. “What is it?” He whispered, as she sobbed silently against his chest.
“I had a bad dream,” she choked out after a few moments. She felt his arms tighten around her, and he rubbed his hands up and down her back soothingly.
“You wanna tell me about it?” He asked after she had calmed down some. She shook her head and sniffed again. “Okay. How can I help?”
She pulled away and rubbed at her eyes with the heels of her hands. “I don’t know. Sometimes I get quick snippets of what could have happened during our battle with Osaron, but nothing like what I just dreamed.” Kell leaned forward and pressed his lips against her forehead. “Usually when I wake up and see you next to me I can calm down and go back to sleep, and then forget about it the next day.”
She pushed him back down and buried her face in his chest. She felt his lips against the top of her head as he shifted so that she was laying on top of him. He pulled the blanket up over her and continued to rub her back. He didn’t press her to tell him what she’d seen either. He was just there with her, holding onto her as she tried to clear her mind and slow her heart. As she told herself over and over that what she’d dreamed hadn’t happened.
But it had actually happened. That was the problem. Even though her dream had shifted and blended together, and some details weren’t quite right, everything she’d just relived in that nightmare had happened.
She felt fresh tears fill her eyes and spill over, and then Kell’s arms tighten around her again as he felt them hit his chest.
“Hey,” he whispered. “Talk to me, love.”
She took a shaky breath and then looked up into his face. His blue eye was dark with concern. She slowly began to tell him.
“It started with the fight in Rosenal, when I was stabbed,” she whispered. “And then it kept shifting. Then I was in the garden of the Sanctuary, the night I had to get supplies for Tieren. There had been three afflicted people there, and after I finished dealing with them, Osaron grabbed hold of my leg and tried to pull me into the Isle.” She paused to take another shuddering breath and then went on. “And then it shifted again, until I was back in White London and Astrid had pinned me back and stolen my face so she could go kill you and take the black stone.” Lila brought her hand up to his chest and tried to distract herself by tracing where his scar was even underneath his shirt.
Instead he caught her hand and gently pressed a kiss to her knuckles. She looked up at him then, and moved up until she lightly pressed her lips against his.
He caught her face in his hands and leaned his forehead against hers. “Lila,” he whispered against her lips. There was so much love and concern in his tone that she angled her head until they were kissing.
One of his hands brushed over her hair as the other continued to cup her face. He didn’t deepen the kiss, only let her feel how much he loved her, how strong he knew she was. “Do you want to try to sleep again?” He whispered against her lips.
She shook her head. “Can we just...stay like this? For the rest of the night?” He nodded, and she laid her head against his chest. He ran his fingers through her hair and rubbed her back gently until he felt her drift off to sleep again. He wasn’t sure if it took minutes or hours, but he continued to hold her for the rest of the night and watched until just before dawn to make sure she slept through the remainder of the night.
I just want u to know I followed a Kelsier & Mare playlist on 8tracks in middle school that had the song “Stars” by Grace Potter & The Nocturnals and I think I need to reprocess this and reform it with kel/dox/mare
