Her True Love (Lanfear x fem!reader)

A/N: HELLO! This was a quick, self-gratifying piece I wrote in like a few hours bc I was inspired by that scene where she's covered in blood... y'know the one after Moiraine's stabbed her.

Warnings: attempted assault, lanfear being covered in blood, slight m0mmy k!nk, a LOT of nicknames (as i said... self-gratifying), a lot of blood mentioned, please let me know if i've missed anything!! <3

Not proofread so I apologise in advance for any spelling mistakes or issues with writing :( <3

A/A/N: fr though, lanfear is so mommy to me i can't cope

You’d been trusted with looking after the Inn many times before. You knew this was just Lanfear’s cover to get close to the Dragon Reborn, Rand, but you still wanted to take care of it. After all, it was still important to Lanfear. It sometimes seemed to you that she cared about everything else more than she cared about you. You understood why, you knew Rand was important, and that getting him to trust Lanfear was the key to everything working, but you couldn’t deny it still hurt. 

As you got lost even further in your thoughts, you were oblivious to the young man staring at you from one of the tables at the Inn. It was a big night of celebration within Cairhein, the start of The Great Hunt. Where young men and women search for the coveted Horn of Valere, which you knew was fake, but you played along. You began collecting empty cups from empty tables when the young man who’d been watching you made himself known. 

“What’s a beautiful young lady like you doing working alone on a night like this?” He spoke loudly, his speech slurred slightly but he smiled at you brightly nonetheless.

“I’m capable of looking after myself, thank you. And I offered to work, so I can only blame myself.” You laughed, taking the empty cups to the bar, feeling him follow close behind you. You were quick to move behind the bar, thankful the large bar top was able to block him from getting too close, but he still tried. He leaned over the bar, his hand drunkenly reaching for you before you backed away slowly. 

“You’re so incredibly pretty, far too pretty to be doing menial bar work.” He commented, making you feel more uncomfortable. 

“Thanks but I’m not interested,” You turned him down politely. His face changed, dropping his smile for a more serious expression. 

“Oh, c’mon. Not even a little bit? I don’t think I believe you.” He smirked at you, his eyebrow raising questioningly. 

“I’m sorry, man. I’m sure you’re a nice guy but I’m not interested.” You were beginning to get nervous, his smirk dropping slowly. 

“But you think I’m nice. How does that mean you’re not interested?” He asked, head cocking to the side slightly. 

“I-I- Please, I’m not interested. Even if I were, I’m not available. I’m sor-” You were cut off by him grabbing your hair and pulling you forward, his grip harsh. You felt something cold against your neck, he pressed it tighter against your neck, feeling a sharp edge cut into your skin. 

“Do I look like I care?” He asked, before moving the cold, sharp item away from your throat and slamming your head down against the bar. You groaned loudly, feeling everything around you spin violently as your head pounded. 

“Wh-wh-why?” You asked, feeling him press you against the bar, realising he’d climbed over the bar and was now on the same side as you. He pinned you between him and the bar, your back bent awkwardly over it as his hand gripped at your hair again, the knife held back against your throat. You whimpered slightly when it began cutting into your neck once more. 

“I never cared what you thought, nor what you wanted.” The hand gripping your hair let go, moving to lift your skirts up as you tried to push him away. The knife slipped from your throat, nicking your skin before he plunged it into your shoulder, making you scream in agony. His hand released the blade, leaving it buried in your shoulder as that hand helped lift your skirts.

“No, no, please!” You begged, trying to push him off of you once more without jostling the knife.

“A sweet, tender girl like you should never have been left alone.”

You thought about Lanfear, thinking about how she would feel if she knew you couldn’t fight back, that you couldn’t protect yourself against one man. You knew she was so much more powerful, braver, more courageous than you would ever be. You feared her rejection, feared losing her and her love, her care and affection as his hands gripped your body, leaving harsh marks wherever he wanted. 

“Please, don’t do this. You don’t have to do this.” You begged once more, before the soft, lilting voice of your lover reached your ears.

“I wouldn’t do that, if I were you.” He backed away from you, letting your skirts fall back into place, although dishevelled. 

“You see, that sweet, tender girl you decided to take advantage of, she’s my sweet girl.” Lanfear moved behind the bar, approaching you with love and sorrow in her face and eyes as she helped you, removing the blade from your shoulder before guiding you to stand up gently. He attempted to run while Lanfear was distracted but she froze him on the spot, not allowing him to escape his fate.

“My darling, take yourself to my room, okay? I’ll be there soon, I promise, my baby.” She kissed your forehead lovingly before gently pushing you towards the stairs to her room. You walked up them slowly, feeling her kind eyes watching you to make sure you were safe and sound in her room. You entered her room, feeling comforted by the mere presence of her within the room. The warm blue coat she wore on a regular basis hung on the back of the door, it smelled so like her you couldn’t stop yourself from putting it on. The material was soft and warm, her scent filled your nostrils, making you sigh in relief as your eyes filled with tears. You took a seat on her bed and cried, sobs wracking your entire body as your body and mind reeled with the realisation of what almost happened. He’d almost assaulted you, had Lanfear not stepped in, had she not arrived back in time, you might’ve been killed, or severely injured. As you sat and sobbed, beginning to overthink everything, the door opened and interrupted your thoughts. A bloodsoaked Lanfear walked in, approaching you immediately. 

“I’m here, my sweet girl. I’m right here, baby.” Her voice soothed you as she crouched down in front of you. Before she could stop you or clean herself up, you’d launched yourself at her, wrapping your arms around her bloodsoaked frame and nuzzling your head against her neck. 

“You’re safe with me, princess. I’m sorry he even thought about hurting you, let alone threatening you. I shouldn’t have left you here alone, I won’t leave you here alone ever again.” Her lips pressed numerous kisses against your temple, her hands gently channelling to heal your wounds as they held you close to her. You held each other for a long while, before Lanfear attempted to pull away, making you whimper and hold her tighter.

“My darling girl, am I okay to clean myself up? I doubt you’re enjoying hugging me like this.” Her voice was sweet, trying to coax you to let go but you just held her even tighter. You shook your head, refusing to let go. Lanfear tried to come up with an alternative option, since she knew you were highly unlikely to let go of her anytime soon. One of her hands stroked your back gently, pulling away from you slowly.

“How about we take a nice hot bath together? Does that sound good, baby girl? We can spend the rest of the day cuddling, just you and I.” Her lips left a gentle kiss on your cheek, leaving more bloody kisses against your face. 

“What about Rand? Wh-What about the-the Dragon? You-you and him… You need to help him more than you need to help me. I-I understand, it’s-” Lanfear cut you off with a gentle kiss to your lips. 

“Don’t you dare say that it’s okay, baby. You’re the one I want, the one I care about. Rand can look after himself for a bit, I need to look after my baby, my sweet girl. Because I love you, and only you.” She kissed you once more, making your eyes water out of happiness. 

“Y-you love me?” you mumbled, worried that you’d dreamt her saying those three words.

“I do, my love. I love you to the moon and back,” her lips kissed your nose tenderly.

“I love you too, Lanny, so so much,” You kissed her jaw, feeling her groan disapprovingly at the nickname. 

“You know how much I despise that nickname, my love,” You smiled at Lanfear sheepishly, giving her soft puppy eyes before she jokingly rolled her eyes, “but when you use it, it’s… tolerable, I guess.” You smiled before quickly pecking her lips.

“I love you more than I can possibly say, my pretty girl.” Lanfear kissed your forehead before picking you up, making you squeal gently as she carried you to her bathroom, using her power to fill the tub up with hot water quickly. 

Lanfear’s hands undressed you carefully, taking her time as she removed each layer of clothing and leaving gentle kisses against each spot of bare skin as she did so. She praised you softly each step of the way, (“you’re doing so well, my darling.”, “easy, my pretty one.”, “just one more bit then we’ll get you in the tub, my princess.”) before she eased you into the tub, her hands reluctant to let go once your tired frame settled into the water. She leaned against the tub and watched you relax as you tiredly moved, smiling lovingly at Lanfear. Lanfear reached over to kiss your lips gently, her hand coming up to cup your cheek as she deepened it. You pulled away, smiling at her confused expression.

“Cuddles?” You asked softly, watching her nod and stand, stripping her clothes off slowly, making sure you enjoyed each moment, which you confirmed as you smiled and blushed. Once she was naked, she climbed into the gap behind you, wrapping her arms around your front to pull you back against her. You adjusted yourself so your head rested against her chest, leaving soft kisses against her pale skin. Her gentle fingers held you close, soothing your bruised skin with her power until the bruises disappeared. 

“How are you feeling, my darling?” Her lips moved gently where they rested against your forehead.

“I feel better, I still feel tired and a little on edge. I have you here now, so I don’t have to be afraid.” Her heartbeat echoed in your ears, helping you settle against her chest. 

“I’m staying right here with you, baby, I won’t leave your side again.” One of her hands stroked your hip comfortingly, much like she did in bed as she knew it helped you settle down and fall asleep.

“Lanny?” Your voice quivered slightly, scared to admit what you had on your mind.

“Yes, my love?” She watched you with so much love in her eyes, noticing your sheepish smile and gentle blush spreading across your cheeks.

“When you walked into the room… covered in-in blood… I found it really hot.” Lanfear’s eyes widened slightly before softening, her smile widening as she kissed you. 

“Oh, baby. There’s nothing wrong with that, in fact… I may have the perfect place to take you one day, but this will do, for now.” Her nose brushed yours before she captured your lips once more. Lanfear’s hand moved from your hip to your stomach, gently tracing shapes across your skin with her fingers before dipping down lower. You whined softly, her fingers deftly reaching the tender spots. 

“Is that what my princess wants?” Her voice was kind, instead of her usual condescending tone when she knew what you wanted. You nodded, prompting her to tut softly.

“Use your words, princess. Is this what you want?” Her voice moved to a more serious tone, making sure this was what you wanted.

“Yes, please. Mommy please,” You begged, voice soft yet desperate. You needed her to make all thoughts of his existence disappear with her skillful fingers and soft, tender touches.

“Anything for you, my princess. Anything for you,”

IM SOBBING I LOVE HER SO MUCH

Forsake Me (Never) - Lanfear/Forsaken (Chosen) F!Reader

A/N: Written for the following request: hi! do you take requests for lanfear? if yes can you please write about lanfear and her forsaken girlfriend who are deeply in love but moghedien tortures forsaken girlfriend for information about lanfear but she doesn't give up and later lanfear finds her all bruised and beaten, and kinda saves and heals her? thank you!

“You will tell me…” The roughness of Moghedien’s insistent voice hasn’t lessened but you laugh at her openly. Torture hurts, it will always hurt, but you are stronger than she can ever know. Pain rockets through you, dragging a scream from you even as you remind yourself again that Lanfear loves you, the love you share is strong enough she will find you, she will help you. She just has to get here. “Tell me… Tell me her secrets.” “Never.” You spit the word. “Never.” Bruises start to form, blood racing under tearing skin, another scream breaks free and you spit blood at Moghedien, weaponizing your wounds. She may be the Spider but you have been Deathless, The Maiden Of Shadows, Forsaken by all. Moghedien moves closer and you strike, biting down hard on the fingers she seeks to push into your mouth, tearing skin and muscle as she pulls free, spitting her own body parts back at her, noting the shudder as she turns to stalk away. Your eyes close and you pray Lanfear will hurry. Lanfear finds you on the edge of blackout, soft fingers push hair from your eyes before she kisses you, letting her healing trail over and through you until you heal, breathing easier. “Liandrin… she will….” “She won’t find her.” A promise, a smile. “Our Darkling is safe, but are you?” “I am now you are here.” You whisper the words, letting your lips meet Lanfear’s. Love, your love and hers, is healing, more than you had ever known before. “I love you….” Lanfear’s words are soft, almost whispered. “I love you too, Night child.” You speak just as softly, your touch soft against her cheek. “Now, come… we had better escape the little bitch’s web.”

[hahnspoetry]

thinking about ✨her✨

[moghedien]

I honestly thought they'd play around with Lanfear's identity some more but I'm just so glad I can stop calling her Selene and stop tagging any mention of the name Lanfear as book spoilers lmao

[theoraclej]

THAT SEASON FINALE!

light, where to begin, a disjointed ramble of things I observed:

Dovie’andi se tovya sagain! - Mat said the words, he said the words!

And he made his own ashandarei! I hope he gets the raven-inlaid one though because I’m sure no one wants him running around with that dagger

And I know he’s going to get a massive S3 glow-up because he sees himself as MORE, now. Yay Mat!

RAND exploding the shit out of the Seanchan including Turak; nice way around his general lack of swordtraining which I’m sure will be remedied

Once the Heron, to set his path!

The interplay between Rand (and Lews Therin before him), Lanfear, Ishamael - they were besties in the Age of Legends, lmao!

I had expected the intro to be a high society polyam party they were attending, not the Sealing of Ishamael, 🤭

The Warder bond was beautiful, flowing, intimate, just what I imagined when reading these books some 25 years ago

I knew Moiraine was gonna say Lan was her better!

I’m so glad they’re back together though, legendary qpp

Nice to see the S1 intro sequence with the gorgeously woven Aes Sedai tapestry

I was a bit sad Nynaeve didn’t heal Elayne OR Rand but she DID swear to make Seta’s mother curse the first kiss her father ever gave her and THAT was cool

Hopper, my beloved! 😩 I would be chopping Whitecloaks too!

It was so satisfying to see Perrin obey his wolfly instincts already!

Elayne being the one to heal Rand’s wound was an interesting choice, and you can tell he was dazzled by her!

Book lines, book lines, book lines making me have conniptions every time one was uttered

“From birth to death I serve the Blood.”

UNO I KNEW YOU WERE COMING YA SHEEP-GUTTED MILK DRINKER

“For the Light, and Shinowa!” still gave me chills even without an expanded story behind it for Ingtar

Egwene al’Vere. I hope she earns a title of “the Unbroken” someday. Remember, Nynaeve even said that about her when Egwene was captured by Whitecloaks in S1!

Egwene, spitting out the damane gag and refusing to rain down fire on innocents, ah my girl, that’s that Two Rivers steel

Egwene, collaring Renna and choking her to death, being stronger than Renna, being able to withstand the pain of that because that’s exactly what Renna taught her

Egwene later, with that amazing shield against Ishamael to protect her friends!

Lanfear pushing Lan and Moiraine out of the ocean Waygate was very unexpected but totally within Lanfear’s lane, just to keep Moiraine away from Rand

Lanfear working to sell the Seals to Bayle Domon, which was so lmao also, and it really enhanced her utter shock when she entered the room later with the Seals all broken.

M O G H E D I E N 🕷️

She is perfectly creepy, perfect in every way. I can’t wait to see her tear shit up, or to see how she will be used in S3 and beyond

Never expected her to cage Lanfear in her webs, either, dang. Lillen Moiral wasn’t near so strong as Mierin. But we know some things are just Talents, and Moghedien is better in Tel’aran’rhiod than Lanfear

Did you notice Rand’s wound swirling with evil bits throughout the healed part? Really cool effect if you catch it

Aviendha, Bain, and Chiad showing they can fight just as well in close quarters in a city as in the Three-Fold Land; and then later acknowledging Rand as Car’a’carn

Though I’d hoped we’d get some good old He Who Comes With The Dawn in here too

Moiraine’s outstanding torpedo weaves that fucked up the Seanchan boats! And she understands the stakes - if the Dragon is gentled, or harmed, or captured, everyone’s life is in danger and that includes her and Lan

Anyhow fuck the Seanchan

Did it look like Suroth got blown up too? Does that mean she’s dead? I guess we’ll see who gathers in the scattered remnants of the Hailene!

The first “I’m not Lews Therin” from Rand

Mat taking a moment to mention Rand’s “shit hair” to Perrin while they were in the mix, lmao

That shadow ashandarei is really scary, it is a laser knife (lightsaber?) on a stick

I can’t wait for Perrin and Hopper to meet again in the Wolfdream

Speaking of which, I think Perrin’s eyes are permanently golden now

I cried at the coming of the Heroes of the Horn, I’m sure many of you did too 😭

Cool Hero fighting effects, I liked those

BIRGITTE SILVERBOW MY LOVELY

I figured Min’s vision of Mat “killing” Rand would be something like this, an accident, not an intentional thing

His blood on the rocks of Shayol Ghul…

AL’LAN MANDRAGORAN, the Uncrowned King, Sworn to the Flame, bonded again, fighting as he was meant to, just slicing through armies, snatching arrows out of the air and stabbing people with them, chef’s kiss

I wonder if Nynaeve’s “failures” and inability to channel at these vital moments will give her the drive to break her block

Ishamael’s channeling at the end was really impressive, a testament to how much more he knows than Rand

I hope that’s not the last we see of Fares Fares, he was remarkable as Ishamael and a truly enjoyable villain

And since they didn’t have the Dragon banner of Lews Therin Telamon found with the Horn like in the books, Moiraine saw to it that he was heralded with literal fire

This I can imagine many people seeing from far away, and of course rumor travels further

The Falmen sure seem to appreciate it and of course the Seanchan are gone for now

Lanfear asking the LIGHT to protect Rand at the end is something interesting and NOT LOST ON ME

I REALLY ENJOYED IT and am looking forward to a full rewatch of S1 and S2!

Proclaimed across the sky in fire 🔥🐲

My Mom Reacts To: wheel of time season 2 episodes 1-4 (season 1)

episode 1

"if i had to carry water all that way for a bath, i'd get a smaller bathtub" you know what? that is a very fair point. just get a smaller tub, moiraine!

mom, #1 Lan Stan: so, he doesn't have any powers, right? except cunning and strength and loyalty of course me: of course

mom: so liandrin wants nynaeve to become red because she........doesn't want her to have a warder? me doing a great aes sedai truth-telling: nynaeve is really powerful so liandrin wants to recruit her for her own team

my dad predicted moiraine was scamming bayle domon and loved it when it was revealed that she was. as always, not too much commentary from him because he remains silent and seems to not be paying attention for most of the time, only to randomly come out with a completely correct prediction or read on a scene.

"i don't think it's true that neat and tidy things can't be worthwhile 🙄" clearly my mom subscribes more to the Egwene School Of Thought than to the Alanna School Of Thought

lan to moiraine after she is Mean to him: make dinner yourself mom: GOOD FOR YOU

when lan brings her the plate later and puts it on top of the maps: "what if he gets greasy food all over her maps?"

"ugh i hate dark scenes where i can't see anything" [scary fade appears] "okay maybe it's good that i can't see"

episode 2

my mom got all confused about rand's dream of him killing his friends and wondered at first if it was real, please pray for her when tel'aran'rhiod is introduced later

"HE'S BALD??????" all of us when we first saw s2 rand's new look djkfgjh

"they must like him here if he gets free food" my boy, beloved wherever he goes :')

she wasn't particularly fond of mat last season, but he's gotten quite a few laughs so far this season! (notably the moment when we ALL fell in love with New Mat, when he was miming liandrin locking the door)

she gave an annoyed TUH! at elayne dissing egwene's room, but didn't comment further, possibly because i'd just told her 20 seconds earlier that elayne was my favorite character and she didn't want to offend me jdkfgh

she was like "wait, is she blue or green???" during a scene where alanna was wearing a slightly-darker-than-normal green outfit, so i think it was definitely a good call by the show to dress aes sedai in their ajah colors always. hard to keep track otherwise!

after moiraine had her hand on her knife when verin revealed she knew about the dragon: "what was she gonna do?? just stab her right in front of all the others??? that's ridiculous!" djkfjg points were made! poor moiraine just kinda panicked and lost all her braincells for a moment there.

my mom was a randgwene shipper last season so i thought she was gonna be pissed about rand hooking up with a strange new woman whilst egwene mourns his death, but she has not said a single word about that situation yet! i did once catch her reading lanfear's wiki article which she'd gotten onto after reading lan's because "i just want to know what happens to him and i'm not going to read all those books" so maybe she retained some info from lanfear's article that made her suspect something fishy with selene?

she recognized min from s1 right away and hastened to add her to her handwritten character list, when other characters needed a couple scenes to get that honor, and i remember she laughed a lot at min's lines last season and she did again today. guys, if my mom becomes a min stan, i may never recover lmao (i'm mostly kidding, show!min has done nothing wrong and is cool. MOSTLY kidding.)

re: the list, i told her she wasn't allowed to google and print out a list of characters because she would see spoilers, only to accidentally spoil her myself last season by instinctively writing liandrin's name down in the "bad guys" column and making her ask "wait, so she's ACTUALLY a villain, not just mean??", rip (but i played it off as "oh she's just unfriendly to moiraine so that's why i put her there" so we shall see whether or not she ends up being surprised by the black ajah reveal)

when min was saying how she sees glimpses of the pattern, my mom made a connection to perrin seeing the past earlier, which i thought was very interesting! (since we hadn't yet learned that what he saw was actually a sending from the wolves.) min's viewings and wolfbrothers are the two major magical powers that have nothing to do with the one power, and it always minorly bugged me that they don't Fit In to the rest of the magic system (despite my apparently-hypocritical mocking of people who get hung up on lore rules etc haha), so i just thought it was neat to think of them in conjunction with each other.

mom, shocked and dismayed: MAT'S GOING TO KILL RAND???????? me: [vibrating with glee over The Great Cauthor Stabbening]

when nynaeve is taken to the arches: "so is she getting a promotion?"

there was some line during the moiraine-lan divorce that got a big offended gasp from our #1 Lan Stan, but i forget which one it was (it wasn't "we were never equals" it was an earlier one)

my dad just laughed when they first showed suroth and her redonkulus getup jkjfg the correct reaction to the pomp and ceremony of seanchan high blood

episode 3

when the aes sedai were saying nynaeve was ready to take the test my mom was like "NO SHE ISN'T!!!!" and was pressed about them rushing her into it

during the bandit attack in the test: "boy, i wouldn't want to live in this world!"

when nynaeve left the tower my mom was like "is this what happens in the books?!" and i couldn't reveal yet that it was still part of the test so i just instinctively said "you'll see" which is my response to everything, and she was like "no i won't, i'm not reading all these books" lmao

my dad during the version of mashiara playing during the lanaeve reunion: why is "somewhere over the rainbow" playing

sheriam: she wasn't ready mom: THAT'S WHAT I SAID!!!!!!!!!!!

she was genuinely very upset for a moment because she thought nynaeve was dead, but i think she then guessed pretty quickly that It Ain't Over Yet

scene transition from nynaeve being left in the arches over to the seanchan: "we're going from bad to worse!"

i was dithering over uno's impending death because i didn't want to spoil them but i thought my mom might want a trigger warning, and thankfully my dad went "that horn looks like it's in a dangerous spot" when they first made uno kneel, so i was all clear to say "yeah this is about to get gory" lmao

my dad wondered if suroth was the dark one which fascinated me! i think everyday negroes had the same thought, iirc. i guess it IS the logical conclusion when you know that ishy is the dark one's right-hand man and in this scene we see him being suroth's right-hand man!

my mom thought elayne might be evil or a spy! how could she! i guess she isn't accustomed to wheel of time strangers just being friendly without an ulterior motive djkfg i didn't outright say her theory was wrong because i'm not about to be a booksplainer, but i'm sure i was so visibly baffled at the idea of elayne being evil that i shot down the theory nonetheless haha

when liandrin goes to visit mat again: "how does she have time for all this? she has her sick son, she has mat, and she has whatever else she does at the tower"

when liandrin blames mat for nynaeve's death: "this lady is CRAZY!!"

mat's "is that an 'i'm here to murder you' stare or a 'light i never realized how handsome you are' stare" line was a big hit! love to see my boy getting some appreciation in this house

...............which he promptly squandered when he a) initially left his cell without freeing min too, and b) did not go comfort egwene. but i pointed out that liandrin's been psychologically tormenting him for months into thinking his friends are better off without him, because i couldn't bear to see them judge my boy!

"it's like we're in 18th century france!" was the first thing out of my mom's mouth when they went to the cairhienin party, i'm sure the costume designers would be thrilled!

mom: how did this lady from the poor district get them into a fancy party? and how could she afford these clothes? 🤨 me: 🤷👀

when logain pours out the wine: "AFTER ALL RAND'S HARD WORK TO GET IT!!"

why did my dad laugh when the inn was on fire jdkfg maybe he just likes to see rand have a bad time

mom: jeez, maybe rand shouldn't stay in other people's houses anymore me: i'm sure rand's thinking the same thing

mom at the end of the test: it's so sad that they keep getting glimpses of the nice lives they could've had 😔

episode 4

mom 2 seconds before the camera reveals who the visitor is: is her little sister moiraine? [camera shows moiraine] mom: I GUESSED SOMETHING FOR ONCE

"it's pretty rude to show up to someone's house and then say 'i don't have time to hang out with you'!"

selene: the fire wasn't your fault rand mom: well it kinda was actually

there was some moment where my dad referred to "sneezing and burning down an inn, or whatever he did" and it killed me, i wish i could remember the context bc it was even funnier in context

"i speak with the amyrlin every time i open my mouth" was also a hit! as was perrin asking if he would turn into a wolf and elyas saying "don't be stupid"

mom when moiraine waltzes into the foregate dressed to the nines: i thought she wanted to keep a low profile

just earlier that day we'd been bemoaning the lack of pockets in women's clothing, as one does, so my mom was like "[delighted] now THAT'S a pocket!" when moiraine fit a whole-ass knife into the pocket of her fancy dress. WOT costumers understand the importance of giving girls pockets! lanfear's outfits have a lot too

my dad said "she seems like a bad guy" about selene during the mountaintop scene, he been knew! but he ended up falling asleep and missing the reveal that he was right

meanwhile, mom: "i'm just waiting for a monster to crawl up that cliff and get them"

when alanna & co go through lan's bags to get the poem: "aww, i thought they were his friends! 😔"

mom: too bad moiraine won't just ask her sister about rand, she talked to him at the party! anvaere: so if you want to know where that redheaded boy is, you'll have to ask me very nicely over tea mom: [just as smug as anvaere]

when ishy shows up at min's room: "how is he EVERYWHERE????"

she didn't seem TOO surprised when liandrin attacked the girls, and she clocked that liandrin was working for ishy after this scene with min (or rather, she asked me if that was the case and i said "you'll see")

she let out the fondest chuckle when rand was like "[choking back tears] i'm going to leave now, thank you" he is BABY YOUR HONOR!!!

as the Lanfear Reveal started my mom said "i just knew she was evil" so that must be why she was so silent on the relationship and so un-judgmental of rand, she must've clocked selene's Bad Vibes from the start! or else she retained something from reading lanfear's wiki article a while back lmao

even so, she went "OH MY GOSH!!!!" and clapped her hands over her mouth in shock when moiraine slit lanfear's throat, which i think is one of her biggest reactions to anything in either season so far! the initial stabbing, zero reaction, but the followup throat-slitting, freakout.

the "i'm a monster too" line + Undead Lanfear Moment has her CONVINCED that forsaken are some kind of creatures or zombies, i'm trying to explain they're just humans who are really powerful and evil haha

at the final shot of lanfear: "i'm going to have nightmares! i'll have to go read my murder mystery to calm down before bed." duality of woman

1 Favourite fictional characters this year

goddddd agatha my BELOVED. she's a genius she's a mess she's perfectly dressed she's a muddy wet cat she likes knives she sometimes wants to be treated like a BAY BEE. she has three hundred years of history and eight million emotional defenses to explore. i love! her!

rio is also up there for me just because the concept is so wonderful - what does it mean when death falls in love with a human? i am so looking forward to spending more time with rio in upcoming fic!

i took something of a break from thinking incessantly about wheel of time this past year but my excitement for more moiraine and siuan, not to mention more alanna and liandrin and lanfear and MORE, is riding high. 73 days? is that right? omg.

2. Favourite ships this year

not including my yuletide fics which have not revealed yet and which may or may not break this streak, the only ship i wrote about was agatha/rio. as always, i am a complete sucker for relationships with long complicated histories. doesn't get much longer or more complicated than this!!! moiraine/siuan also fall into this category, of course.

11. Biggest squee moments of the year

godddd the entire airing of agatha all along? i LOVED being part of the fandom excitement of that. there's no experience like it! within that: the agatha/rio almost-kiss in ep 4 - hell, the entirety of ep 4 - and also the marvel that was ep 7 were probably my biggest squee moments. and god, just the return of agatha! in such a spectacular way! oh, going to the agatha panel at fanexpo (i actually... called in sick to work for that...) and getting to listen in person to the way kathryn hahn talks about agatha was hugely fun. made up a little for the intense disappointment of NO agatha at SDCC.

also ohhhhhh my god the wheel of time s3 trailer. the collective buidup and joy and experience and analysis of that! AND ALSO the official announcements of shohreh aghdashloo and olivia williams' casting in wot.

ahaha also also getting my weekly production list email and it having agatha s2 on it. yeah that.

15. Favourite f/f ship of the year

iiiiiiii meeeeeeeean do you EVEN need to ask. it continues to be all about agatha/rio. i was thinking about them on the drive back to where i'm staying tonight... that moment when rio says that she watches agatha the way agatha watches everyone else. and of course part of why agatha watches everyone is to learn how not to be hurt by them. but rio just sees what's coming for her and accepts it to be with agatha while at the same time not seeing so much that will blindside her. anyway lots of feelings about them!!! lots!!!!

One scene in and I've already found Egwene's torture highly disturbing.

Most of the time I can't concentrate on Lanfear's word because I'm distracted (by her) 🤷‍♀️

I too, Moiraine, find Rand insufferable. It's a burden we must bear.

Elayne/Nynaeve is the enemies to lovers I didn't think I needed.

I ship Egwene with Revenge.

All of this remind me so much of the Mordisith's training (Cara, my beloved).

It's funny, because I like Mat, but I also don't care about what happens to Mar.

Alanna, I love you.

Leave Lan alone! Like this man could be loyal to anyone other than Moiraine.

In Lucille's voice 'I don't care for Rand' 🤷‍♀️

I can't wait for next ep. I can't wait to see Moiraine and Siuan happy (for a little while) 😍

Moiraine, making friends everywhere she goes 🤣

Siuan and Lan. Go save your woman (from herself).

I missed Logain! He is so much more interesting than Rand. (I'm sorry, I'm trying really hard but I can't stand him)

I can tolerate Rand more when he is around Mat 🤷‍♀️ The riunion was cute.

Can we keep Ryma and Basan, please?

Tell me Egwene get to kill her.

Nynaeve and Elayne are mending my lanaeve heart (since they barely had 2 scenes together)

I miss Perrin.

Come on, Mat. Not even you can do that!

Oh, poor Mat.

Ohhhh, adorable aunt Moiraine 😍

The wife has arrived!!!!!!!!!! Next ep!!!!!!!!!

Mat, go! And even if you kill him... Oh, Lan and Alanna are there... Surprise!

So I guess we won't keep Ryma and Basan? The way they fight is so hot.

Egwene pour the water. You survive and then you will kill her.

No, Basan. You'll be missed. Poor Ryma.

They held hands 😍

Not the best ep imo but a good one. I can't wait for next week though 🤣

Ilyena ‘Sunhair’ Therin Moerelle my beloved.

Like we know nothing about her but what’s implied makes me a little crazy.

She’s got three names which implies that she went to and graduated from Collam Daan university or maybe she even worked as a researcher there! Maybe that’s where she met Lews Therin and Demandred. Did she know Lanfear and the other future Forsaken who we know went there? Were they friends before everything went wrong? Did she know Mesaana and the fact her research grant got rejected???????

What made her choose Lews Therin over Demandred (before he turned to the Shadow) and did that affect her friendships with the others as badly as Lanfears and Lews breakup did? Also girl, if you saw the absolute bomb that would have been Lanfear and Lews breakup why would you get with Lews? How much did you love that man!

She was also probably an Aes Sedai and was probably a very powerful Aes Sedai. I don’t have any evidence of this but it feels right. Which also implies that she was a member of the Hall of Servants so what kind of conflict would have sprung up between her and Lews when that split came on how to end the war of power. We know that all the women sided against all the men (bit odd Mr Jordan but ok). So why did she choose to side against her husband? What was that thing that finally pushed her to stand against him.

Which implies that Ilyena was an active participant in the War of Power. Whether as a fighter in the field for the forces of the light or as more of a backseat general she must have been busy, probably fighting Lanfear, but the Lady must have used Bale fire at least once I feel it in my soul.

And what kind of effect would that have had her and Lews relationship? The impact on there family? And is the war what finally pushed them apart enough that they found themselves with opposing ideas of how to save the world, unable to reconcile them. Is that what pushed Lews to seal the bore anyway without the approval of the Hall, his wife and probably without telling Ilyena anything?

And most importantly how did she react to Lews madness after going through all of that together and there possibly being such a rift between them?

Idk I just think that she’s such a cool character and could have been so much and had so much more to her than just being Lews Therins wife that he cry’s over.

[amemoryofwot]

Ok I’ve watched it like five times ok serious non-kiss thoughts uhhh where do I start ok:

- Moiraine’s voice breaking as she says “everyone has a choice and every choice has consequences” um ok did you ever have a choice in your life. Did you.

- Lanfear lookin fiiiiine

- Perrin’s eyes flashing and he’s definitely murdering that Whitecloak huh

- Mat explody boy already? Does he blow up the Falme gates instead of the Stone? He’s also looking at the dagger so do they get it back somehow? Or a vision/dream?

- Rand meeting Siuan a la Fal Dara is excellent but where are they? The motif on the floor is a large star which makes me think Cairhien but the throne looks the same as in the Hall, do they transport the actual Amyrlin Seat with them? Looks heavy AF. BUT he is sitting with Logain so possibly he got back? Without Moiraine? Feels weird for Siuan to “call her home” like three weeks later lmao

- Egwene is definitely shielding her and Elayne from the damane blast so the theory she fights while the others run is looking more sound

- Nynaeve leaving the Raising ter’angreal in a blood soaked shift

- Liandrin going to North Harbour in the middle of the night? And also standing at the Flame for some reason

- Single close up of Elayne’s face my beloved

- Turak scary af!!!!

- Flaming sword killing a Myrddraal

- who am I kidding KISS KISS KISS KISS

impromtpu lanfear x fem!reader posting in about an hour? maybe.

[lovers-paradise]

Your face it haunts my once pleasant dreams//Your voice it chased away all the sanity in me – Lanfear/F!Reader

A/N: Fic 5/6 for @thepotatoislost . For the request: Hi! Could you please do either or both Liandrin and/or Lanfear x reader where they comfort the reader about the reader’s scars? Or the reader gets hurt while protecting them so Liandrin or/and Lanfear take care of them and their injuries? If not that’s okay.

“She could not have hurt me...”    Lanfear’s voice is soft as she pulls you to your feet from the floor. Your last channeling had been rough, almost brutal, but knowing the woman was gone was enough. You take her hand, push up and try to hide the wince at the tug of your still burning skin.     “She cut you, killed... you... did she not?”    “Once...”    “Once is enough Selene.”    The name comes unbidden and you can feel her flinch, your hand closing over hers.    “Lanfear... beloved... I am alright. With you.”    She nods, once, leads you away to home, the place you both hide, lets you wash and clean yourself then moves to kneel, soft fingers skimming over burning skin, soothing the fire within with a touch so light you can hardly feel it.  Peace washes over you and you move to cup her face in soft hands, pulling her up to a gentle kiss.    “We’ll be okay, Lanfear...”

Been thinking a lot about heteronormativity vis-a-vis my beloved For All Mankind and Wheel of Time. FAM has annoyed me in that we’re allegedly running about twenty years ahead of the irl timeline on gay rights, but no one is casually gay. All of the queer characters are there To Be Gay. Like justice for Will who I was expecting to get an actual personality/storyline in season 4, but no all he ever did was Be Gay In Space. Ellen and Larry’s entire storyline is It Is Hard to be Gay. I’m just so over it, like drop a casual reference that Dani’s stepson married a man or one of the female crew has a wife waiting back home or something. No wonder I fixated on Molly and Margot - they’re so easily the most interesting people on the show (closely followed by Aleida, how does this show have the best women and force me to spend so much time with Ed Baldwin). 

Whereas Wheel of Time is just so casually queer - you know the Lews/Lanfear/Ishy sexual tension triangle is on purpose. Dana assumes Mat and Rand are together because it’s something she would reasonably expect to encounter. I wish they would do more with aes sedai relationships, but they clearly exist and are not a big deal.

It’s not perfect, but that is what I want! I don’t want the gay president if her plotline for twenty years is Having a Hard Time Being Gay. I’ve seen that before, I’ve lived that. I want it to just be a casual thing that’s fully integrated into the world and not always serving some purpose. I really thought FAM season 4 would give me that and ugh no it was just Straight People on Mars!!

Wheelie Time thoughts

Spoilers for S2 episodes 1-3, including the preview for next episode, and spoilers for all the books.

Queen of Cairhien you said. So at first, I thought that Moiraine's sister was going to be the Queen, but when she spoke to Rand my head turned again because she seemed disgusted with the Queen and how she is just out to get her city back and thought that it must be another person. That said, her being all depressed about what i means to be a queen is coherent with Damodred Drama, so... yeah I think she's probably the queen and was talking to Rand in the third person. Especially funny because Lanfear was clearly about to say something about her, but never got to it.

Speaking of Lanfear... Beloved, i love her so much. She's so messy. My best worstie, love how much fun she was having. And she has a power-dynamic kink...... yeah, that doesn't surprise me, lmao.

Rand is baby in this whole thing and so kind to the Aiel War veteran. I love that scene of them walking, especially because I think that the Sword Forms he described are going to be the way that Rand defeats Turuk.

Lan and Moiraine broke my heart, especially that last scene in episode 2 where the Myrelle/Alanna merger was basically confirmed. Can't wait from them to take it all back and be besties again.

In the last of Nyn's accepted test - which was fucking brutal, this woman now has years of memories with a child that isn't real anymore, fuck - Mat loses an eye at the end. I love this show and this foreshadowing so much.

Verin is perfect exactly as she is. She said that she and Adealas are sisters, but like Sisters of the White Tower or Sisters-Sisters? Who knows. Interesting implications if its the later.

Alanna and her warders are killing me. That Maksim "I am a third wheel" is making me feel things, knowing that he is probably the one who is going to die.

Perrin is already Going Through It and Ishamael going "The more wolf you become, the more you are mine" is a great way to kickstart his "I don't want to be a wolf brother arc." --- Please let it end fast tho.

Elayne is perfect and I have no notes.

Egg is also perfect.

Interesting Liandrin backstory. Part of me wonders if it isn't all made up to get Nyn's sympathy, but maybe I am just building plots out of nothing. That said, great way to show that the way Aes Sedai live longer.

Next week we have the Lanfear episode with a focus on Moiraine. Do I need to tell you how that combo is making me go insane?
