#mare x maven

[girllblogging777]

if i had a nickel everytime i read a romantasy book about a poor girl from the streets who got picked to participate in a trial between rich kids with superpowers, while having to live at the palace where the two brothers fell in love with her before she betrayed them and ran away, i'd have two nickels.

no bc the part in War Storm, right after they capture Maven and they're carrying him away and he's talking to the voice in his head saying, "I did as you said, I did as you said" breaks my heart into a million pieces every single time omg.

RQ Maven

I wish in the RQ books they explored Maven's love for theatre, like it's so ironic how he says he loves plays and shows but then you find out his whole life is pretty much an act. I think it would be so interesting to know why he liked it too, did he like the actors ability to pretend? The chance to escape the real world? I was so surprised that VA like never mentioned it again, maybe because by the time we got to his pov so much was happening? but then Cal never mentioned it either so ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

No one understands how much I love Mare for not hiding her M scar. Instead, displaying it proudly to not only show that she survived, but to really paint the picture of how much of a Monster Maven was.

She so brave

Guys, I think I'm falling into the trap.

I read Red Queen probably around 7-8 years ago and I have a vague idea of what happens. Specifically with Maven.

But I'm restarting the series because I had no idea there was a fifth book.

I'm on chapter 16 right now and I just can't- Maven is so sweet and I know it's not going to end well and I know I'm fucked.

Me, thinking back to this scene in volume 2 of Red Queen, where Mare's best friend, after declaring her one-sided love, also tells her that we don't choose who we love (who we fall in love with in this context of course), then she thinks back to Maven and their kiss from volume 1, when she had just kissed Cale not so long ago.

Me, thinking back to that moment in volume 3 where Mare says she's still clinging to the ghost of the man she thought Maven was and loved. That she wishes to believe that he is still there somewhere.

Mare telling Maven that he broke her heart as much as Cale did in volume 4.

Still in volume 4, Mare wanting to see Maven's body to be sure that he is really dead and that all her suffering is finally over, but at the same time, not wanting to see him and being relieved that his body was not found because seeing the Maven's corpse would have been the equivalent of seeing herself dead too.

Then, Mare, in the last pages, mentioning all the people she misses : Maven being in it.

Mare and Maven had a relationship that was twisted and toxic as hell, but they still loved each other...

Bonus : Maven briefly regaining control of himself, letting Mare kill him so he wouldn't have to kill her / because he didn't want to kill her.

if Mare was with Cal she'd cheat on him with Maven if she was with Maven she'd cheat on him with Cal

Maven at the end of Red Queen

[imperatrice21]

You know, I think it would be pretty interesting if in War Storm they actually did find a Newblood to cure Maven but when he gets cured and back to normal he doesn't remember a single thing he did while under Elara's control because it wasn't him at all and he's like super confused or something when they tell him how long its been and something something idk

[maveys-baby]

Cal b like: I tried to find a newblood who could fix him..

dawg he didn't need a newblood, he needed a damn therapist lmao

Red Queen Gift Exchange – The Thief and the Tower

I participated in @nortaeventcouncil 's February gift exchange and ended up writing a fic for @lucy-the-cat !

It's a Rapunzel AU where Maven is the boy in the tower and Mare is the thief that finds him. I wrote this, initially planning for it to be a oneshot, but it got a little out of hand and now it's looking to have at least a few more chapters - which I'll try to upload when I have time to edit.

Apologies that I don't have the full fic out yet, but I hope you enjoy <3

Maven Calore

Can we all agree that the Red Queen did the Brotherly Love-Triangle trope WAY better than the Inheritance Games

[the-best-skibidi-rizzler]

I just saw a fic where mare was in on mavens plan and they ruled together, it was really short, I’m pretty sure it was less than a thousand words but I’m low-key considering something similar but multi part, like a good long fic

Lmk what yall think
