== Love Notes ==

Hey Lovelies!!! Found this really adorable artist this weekend and I thought I'd share them with you because they really express a lot of things that I tend to think--- like how much I love you all, seriously, did you know you're fucking FANTASTIC?? and fucking BRILLIANT AND AMAZING AND TALENTED!?

Whenever I'm stuck doing work, or other family/life stuff, I always come back to thinking about this awesome fandom, and how much I miss talking too you all and how much I love all the crazy stuff you all get up to every day! I haven't been interacting as much because it's really hard for me to focus with so much going on (yay neurodivergence!)-- but please know I'm watching and laughing, and crying and smiling, and wishing you all the best and cheering you on! Hope the end of the weekend and beginning of the week is treating you wonderfully <3 Take care lovelies!

[tea-cat-arts]

Ranking the “mostly white + 1 main color and maybe gold” designs because I’m trying to collect my thoughts and see which I want to redesign. Also, I’m only going to ranking ones that are currently in game (both because I’m taking how the gameplay interacts with the design into account and because I think lore + execution of lore should be taken into account when judging designs), so no Susannah.

Disclaimer: I’m trying my best to look at these objectively, but this is still art and my subjective biases will probably factor in. I’m not trying to convince anyone to feel the same way as me about these designs. Feel free to argue why you think something should be placed higher or lower. Also, spoilers lie ahead

S tier (excellent, wouldn’t change a thing)-

Strategic placement of black, more battle suit like parts saves all the parts from blending together

Keeps bits of the more mech-like armor seen earlier in game. Helps her look thematically consistent with the rest of Kiana’s designs

Nice range of values. The strong red cape really helps the white dress (?) stand out, while the little splashes of orange help keep it feel unified

Lovely evolution of the Void Drifter design

In actual battle, her mostly white outfit saved her from getting lost in all the glowy fire

I think having most of the colors being reflected off her is a fun application of her moon motif

Lines up well with the lore

Free pass on just wearing a regular dress since in lore, she was never a fighter

White dress with splashes of paint on it plays into the “Griseo is like a blank canvas that takes on other people’s colors” motif nicely

The dark blues and black are eye catching and contrast nicely with her dress and hair

A tier (good design, minor changes could make it a great design)

So the thing about white is though it is used as a wedding color in the west, in a lot of East Asian countries, it’s actually used as a funeral color. Idk if that was hoyo’s intention here, but the double meaning is fun none the less

The purple of the dress and pink of the hair keep the suit looking vibrant and colorful

Same thing with Flamescion where all her skills are very bright and colorful (mostly in origin form? I think that’s what it’s called?), so I think the white keeps her stand out

There is very little variation in tone between the pink and purple. One of them needs to be more saturated

I feel like it could use more variation in fabric texture

B Tier (good design, muddled lore)

Would be ranked higher if I didn’t have to google why this battlesuit exists. Her in game intro was messy

Has the unfortunate timing of being introduced in the middle of a bunch of other lore dumps and buried underneath the more important to the plot ones. I think it’s introduction would be much more powerful if it was just Rita becoming the Herrscher of domination (I am willing to elaborate via asks)

Like, imagine if she got some sort of a string weapon instead of the sword? I think that’d be neat

So basically I was just confused by the space theme till I googled it (and based on my Reddit findings, I wasn’t the only one)

Beginning of the not looking like a battle suit era, but the inclusion of gold bits and a couple under layers keep it from being a full departure from the usual motifs, but it does lack the mech bits

I think there’s more Rita battle suits that lack the mech bits than actually have the, so I’m fine with them being missing here

Good tone variation, clear segmentation

Elegant design for an elegant lady

C tier (saved by the gameplay)-

Her knight for straight up looks like lingerie, but her guardian form looks great

Having her armor switch to black in guardian form was a good call

Unlike Rita, most of Durandal’s battlesuits look like armor, so it’s weird this one doesn’t.

I’m ok with the mostly white color palette since it contrasts nicely with the horse

Speaking of the horse- I have no idea where he came from, but it looks sick so I’m completely fine with it being here

Though for a rewrite, I think a potentially fun explanation would be “unlocking both of her stigmata allowed her to use a divine key at its full potential and said key just so happens to have a horse/armor mode” (cuz if you need weird shit to happen, Vill-V is always a valid excuse)

It’s inconsistency in comparison to Durandal’s other designs + my very mixed feelings about her being the original Kiana and that process of awakening the Kaslana stigmata are mostly why I put her bellow Rita. I don’t really have any huge problems with this design

D tier (even great gameplay can’t save this)-

So for the design where Kiana is “no longer just reflecting others light, and instead becoming the sun itself” (or something like that), the decided to give Kiana the coolest color palette we’ve ever seen her in, take away her signature orange and Himeko’s red, and have her primary colors be Mei’s purple and Brongo’s blue… ok

Yes, I know blue stars exist and that they’re very hot. Honkai is a story set on earth though so it’d make more sense if she was becoming like our sun, not some one billions of light years away

The inclusion of HoV’s magenta accents is kinda nice though

That is a junior prom dress, not battle suit (the Fanny packs are based though). Where’d her mech parts go?

Instead of the skirt and wings by legs, I think it may of looked like a cleaner transition if the put wings it the same shape/area as HoF’s cape

After seeing how brights and glowy her abilities are, I’m ok with this design being mostly white

This designs just a whole lot of “ok, but what does that have to do with Kiana?” Why the junior prom dress? Why the flowers? Why she so urple?

F tier (the only one on this list I actively dislike)-

Since I’ve been pretty vocal about my dislike of Dr.MEI, I just want to start by making this clear: I like Raiden Mei. She’s cool. I don’t just have some anti-Mei bias. She’s at the bottom of this list though because she deserved so much better than this design and story (and I’ve been using her a lot in ER lately, so I’ve had a lot of time staring at her design)

Designs like these are why I have the “wait till it’s introduced in story” rule. I was sorta just “meh” on this design until I saw it in game

I hate this designs introduction. It’s just another case of the writers retconning the PE and glorifying the flame chasers/ forgetting why they existed in the first place

Mihoyo, Elysia’s been dead for 50,000 years! You can stop shooting her now!

Also another instance of Mihoyo forgetting Mei is an independent person and centering her narrative around her relationship to another character. Why’s it gotta be about becoming like Elysia and the other flame chasers instead of acknowledging their mistakes and learning from them so Mei can avoid their pitfalls and forge her own ideal future

Mei is so much fun to watch when she’s thinking for herself and forging her own path, so it’s frustrating to watch the narrative force her to walk down the path Elysia laid.

If I keep talking about this point I’m gonna go into rewrite/fanfic territory, so on to the design from a more technical standpoint:

There is next to no variation in tone (aside from her hair). Everything is just incredibly light. Her abilities in game are also incredibly pale, so she ends up getting lost in all the flashy lights

There’s so much texture throughout the outfit that there doesn’t really end up being a place for the eyes to rest

Though I understand why she’s blue, I think it’s inclusion was incredibly clunky. Including it as gems on the outfit or the underside of the skirt(?) may have helped the distribution look more even

If I went with the underside of the skirt being blue, I’d probably also say make her boots black (or just give her black tights or leggings with white ankle boots)

Orange (or at least Kiana’s shade of orange), blue, and purple are admittedly hard colors to make look good together, but there really needs some orange in there. Maybe sort of a deeper rose gold could’ve worked

I’m thinking like edae98 or fbbc93 (two on the top right)

^These things just need to go. The white skirt(?) over white boots just causes the whole bottom half to bleed together. Having so much weight on the bottom of the outfit also causes her movements to look incredibly clunky. Removing these parts would help to streamline it a bit

I like the idea of Mei sorta becoming Kiana’s dragon, but the wings and tail in the skirt get lost due to all the overlapping textures, and the wing sword doesn’t do anything. Girl has 3 swords but only uses 1. Why

Rather than basing her off a western dragon, I think they should’ve made her an eastern dragon. (Turn her HoT hands into Claws instead of wings, keep the “tail” of the skirt streamlined with a little flair at the bottom, turn her HoT horns into antlers). This way, they could keep the iconic elements of HoT while reframing them into something positive (for those who don’t know: it’s a lot more nuanced and complicated than I can really explain here, but eastern dragons are generally associated with good fortune)

So, ya- that’s all I got for now. If I left anyone off the list, they’re ranked lower than HoO for being that forgettable just let me know and I’ll add them on. Again, this post is mostly just me trying to collect my thoughts

[tsuki-sennin]

Back from the dead once more! Ohsama Sentai Kingohger! Episodes 20-23! I uh... intended to demote this thread of watch-throughs to a monthly basis, but uh... well, I've definitely missed that one!

Anywho, when we last left off, Yanma and Jeremy accidentally made Racules unable to be prosecuted, so all that remains is for Gira to knock his ass out.

Spoilers, I guess...

-Marriage~!

-Imagine getting hitched in the name of a giant beetle.

-Shio... Shiobara? No, Shibari! Shiokawa! Shiokara, fuck.

-Well, at least this royal wedding was short.

-"You done fucked up, Gira."

-Rita's equally unamused with you as they are.

-Family :))))

-"...I am not doing that."

-"If you wish to see your sister with all her fingernails still in her hands, then you will give me my lance back. ...Big... Brugther..."

-Hello, Jeremy.

-"And then the opposite happened." jokes. My favorite.

-Jeremy, that ain't even subtext.

-"Pweeeeeeease don't hurt me, desu!"

-Oh I see how this'll end. A big ol' kerfuffle.

-A threat in a cruel joke.

-Effective.

-Hello, Dezzy

-I see Slippin' Jimmy's harebrained schemes have finally reached their limit.

-Dethrone!

-Goddamn Ohgercalibur Zero's design is still so elegant...

-Ohgai Busou!

-"Hiiiiiii~! :3"

-Himeno looks like she's about to commit the worst crime you could ever commit to an author.

-"Oh, I didn't see this coming."

-"Kick his ass, Gira!"

-#NotMyKing

-This is how the War of the Roses went down, right?

-Ohger Slash~!

-Decrowned!

-"Cruel! Cowardly! Creepy, even!"

-Gira...

-Always a man of the people, huh?

-Even Racules felt that way, once upon a time.

-Too bad that day has long sinced past.

-Her comes Boshimar!

-:O

-BANG!?

-"Oh~! Who'da thunk~?"

-JIMMY

-Played like a goddamn fiddle.

-"You... vermin."

-No more transformation from the brothers this duel, eh?

-"A kingdom is like an enormous clock. It only works if all the little cogs mesh together. A clock must be clean, well lubricated, and wound tight."

-Oh, you finally get it~! Good for you~!

-"Do you hear the voices of the people?"

-Thanks, Kaguragi.

-Long live the king!

-Off he goes~!

-This is the hypest shit ever, I swear.

-Gira wins. Fatality.

-...definitely not a fatality, let's be real, that motherfucker's coming back.

-Long live the King.

-Well, considering how huge it is, it's only natural that Shugoddam's king be challenged.

-Oh that's adorable, this one starts with the dance

-Definitely a lot more simple in choreography than Ore Koso Only One or

-Oh for fuck's sake, Geats does the dance too?

-Man... I can't escape that guy, can I?

-Waaaait... oh fuck me, it's a recap episode.

-Well, at least this post is gonna be regular unreasonably long.

-Ryneor...

-So, you want Gira to establish dominance.

-"I'll do whatever you want if I lose!"

-DOUGA YOU FUCK

-Quiz~!

-Tonbokkuri~!

-Weh

-This is an excuse for Yanma to flex, huh?

-Well at least N'Kosopa's IT isn't worse than ours.

-I wish I had the confidence Douga has in bullshitting my way through job interviews.

-"Your turn :3"

-Thank you Himeno.

-Now this is a job far beyond my abilities.

-Let's get fucking cooking.

-Hire me, Kuroda-san! I can wear a bag on my head and cook decently well-ish.

-KAGURAGI CHEATED

-...goddamn, that looks so good though...

-Arrest him, Morphonia~!

-Oh

-A staring contest

-Of course, naturally.

-"This place sucks, shut your mouth."

-At last! A job!

-Outta my way old man, I'm getting that job!

-Oh, it's Duuga

-Or Duga, maybe.

-"You're hired :)"

-Back at square one with him.

-"So yeah, I lost all of these."

-So... Yanma's planning a coup, Himeno's gunning for a monopoly, Kaguragi's forcing farmland onto foreign soil... and Rita demands region locking.

-Op, no time to think about that, it's the Bugnarak!

-Thank you, King Gira~!

-Good luck, Douga.

-Anyways, next episode~!

-Oh shit, Daigorg.

-Oh fuck, he ate the bugs

-OH THAT'S A BIG BOY

-BIG BOY

-Extreme KingOhger~!

-He ATE them!

-Holy shit his pick is a MOAB.

-Okay

-This seems fair.

-Hello, Jimmy.

-"Insects" seems like it'd be a slur for the Bognarok, kinda weird hearing it from Kamejim.

-Yanma does not say robot rights, good to know.

-Good point.

-Thanks, Jeremy.

-Well, we're fucked.

-OH?

-A secret lies within the castle.

-"Extenuating circumstances~!"

-"Like how juicy this secret is?"

-Ohhhhhhh

-Kamejim

-Oh hey Suzume.

-GIANT ROBOT

-"Ding ding ding~!"

-"...okay, please stop."

-Of course, you wouldn't have an easy time turning your castle into a giant robot. Why wouldn't you?

-Here they come!

-Electrodrunk!

-Oh, this is some serious shit we're into.

-Kuwagon...

-No soul...

-:O

-Of course...

-Always evolving technology. Your giant bug robots feel fear.

-Time for us to fucking go.

-So, Kuwagon's very soul is in the crown, is it?

-Thanks, Yanma :)

-Friends :)

-Plant the lance.

-"Ohhhhh this ain't good."

-King Caucasus Kabuto...

-Once again, we perform maintenance!

-Ah, this is the place.

-First Vedalia, now Kofuki.

-HIMENO????

-Okay, thanks.

-Racules is dead, buddy.

-No chance.

-"Our technology sucks."

-2000 years will do that.

-"Hold up."

-Gira's off to ask his bug friends.

-That's a start~!

-...that's a terrible start!

-Jesus Christ, that number makes my head spin.

-Called him by name...

-"Listen close, my minions!"

-Holy shit, this is horrifying

-"Either die to the King or die to me! It makes no difference."

-Sitting back the way a king does just ain't Gira's style.

-One gear left.

-Boone...

-Run lad!

-Kamejim Jumpscare

-Spiders Jeremy strikes once again!

-"Do it, you big lumbering oaf!"

-King! King! King! King!

-"MOVE IT, MOVE IT, MOVE IT-"

-Sit your ass down on that throne, boy.

-It's beautiful! King Caucasus Kabuto!

-Launch!

-Blocked

-"Hercules Axe! Come forth!"

-Daigorg is on the chopping block.

-Complete and utter bisection.

-The guys are here :)

-"Goddammit not again..."

-A true man of the people, that Gira...

-OH FUCK KOFUKI

-Coronation~!

-There's a whole movie about that, I hear.

-And I can't watch it~!

-MATSURI DA!?

-Dethnarak falls soon.

-...not right now though, I need a break.

-Maybe later tonight~!

[turoce]

actually on the topic of chefs staying or leaving their assigned restaurants, here's a list of who i think stayed or left

Roy+Joy: they're kinda stuck there, aren't they? Roy especially. i think Joy's more part time-ish.

Marty+Rita: they stay. i see them both as college student age (though only Rita goes to college. Marty's busy with life atm) and i think they both kinda concluded "eh, it's life experience ig" and stayed. i think they'd both leave if one of them put their mind to it though, because i headcanon that they became chefs together from the friend pact or something. i don't know how to describe it.

Maggie+Mitch: both also stayed, i haven't really thought of the whys for Mitch but i think Maggie stayed around for Mitch, something along the lines of "i don't think i could handle the thought of the Taco Mia! being dominated under the hands of Mitch..." probably got something to do with the love-hate thing going on. Maggie doesn't go as much as she wishes she could though, due to her responsibilities.

Penny+Alberto: stayed. despite the wave of customers in the beginning, it probably got more sustainable after that. don't really have headcanons for these two.

Cooper+Prudence: also stayed. i also think they're college students, (Prudence about 2~3 years younger than Cooper though) but it doesn't really take part of why i think they might have stayed. i think they do both kinda like the job.

Chuck: defos stayed. look at his Flipdeck.

Taylor+Penny: Taylor also defos stayed. i haven't really thought of anything for Peggy though, nor have i thought of a dynamic between the two chefs in general.... i may have to pay Hotdoggeria a visit one day.

James+Willow: i think Willow stayed, while James left, since he already has a job so i don't think juggling the two jobs would be very sustainable. i think James boosted Willow's self-confidence while they were both Cupcakeria workers, which is why Willow didn't quit when James did. but they both hang out with each other on weekends and watch tv shows :)

Utah: left. no coworker relationship headcanons to work with because Doan is a real person. also she was in Portalini for the wedding, and once the wedding is over... she doesn't really, have a reason to stay?

Scooter: er. i really haven't thought of anything for her. i honestly forget she's a chef at all in general. maybe she stays for the fast pass?

Scarlett+Rudy: tbh, i think all of the Shakers are employed under a Papa restaurant. but other than that, i'm not too sure. they defos take a lot of leaves though.

Timm+Cecilia: Ceci left, Timm stayed (i think that made things a bit more awkward with Quinn for a while...) i think it's the covid image (where he delivers pies with a drone) that's the reason why i think he stayed.

Clover: see with Scarlett and Rudy. i think she stays because she asked Marty about whether she should stay and he answered "if you think the experience will help you out, sure." and she was like "you're so lame bro but i get paid a lot so ig i'll stay".

Carlo+Koilee: 100% left, with no regrets. they both walked up to Papa one day and went "we quit" and walked out at the same time.

Allan+Akari: both stayed, although their time working shift can be a bit inconsistent, since one's a hockey player, and the other has to deal with 'deliver today' packets at 11:59pm.

Olivia+Wylan B: both stayed. i don't have any headcanons for the two at the moment though.

ideas i have for Koilee and Carlo are sparse, but i feel like they both quit the Scooperia at the same time.

i just don't see them to be lasting chefs actually. they both have professions that they like to do, and they're kinda stuck in the Scooperia against their will.

Illyrian Bloodshed

Request: can we get a fic about planning and experiencing your wedding with Cassian?

Warnings: None

Word Count: 3.4K

You and Cassian had opted for a more private mating ceremony. While the both of you hadn’t been too shy regarding your relationship, often called out for your public displays of affection both around your friends in the Inner Circle and around strangers at Rita’s as well, both of you thought that something so intimate ought to be celebrated with only those closest around you. Cassian’s warrior heart ran true, and wanted a more traditional ceremony for the two of you; one that would encompass the life he was thrown into, but also the one he chose as General of the Night Court Armies. It involved swords and leathers and languages you didn’t understand… and only your most trusted relatives.

You’d known Cassian for decades, known how sacred this was to him. Despite his distaste for some of the rowdier Illyrians, those who lacked the respect for both their tradition and him (it was the former that irritated the General more), it was a lifestyle he still held near to his heart. You’d seen such evidence during the war - how his warriors hung onto his every breath, watching awestruck as he led the charges, attacking the highest ranking officials personally. The male was an absolute terror on the battlefield. Stories and tales of his victories spread through taverns and schoolyards, not a single Night Court Fae unfamiliar with the male. 

And he lived up to them. 

You, not hailing from Velaris nor the Court of Nightmares, we’re just as awestruck as everyone else. The male exhumed power, strength and poise dominating his presence. It wasn’t until you’d officially been offered the role as emissary in Rhysand’s Court, that you’d been able to dig below that hardened surface. 

Years and years of friendship turned into lust, a familiarity that seemed to hold more than just the promise of friends. It was a bridge neither of you wanted to cross entirely, fearful of what lay beyond, of losing what you’d platonically built. 

But that one day on the battlefield, after he’d handed you his sword, terrified he may not be enough to protect you in the war, he’d felt it like a punch in the gut. His mate, standing before him in bloodied Illyrian leathers, holding his gleaming weapon. You’d almost wanted to throw up, the promise of a future, an equal, a mate, about to be ripped away from you by Hybern. 

Your stomach twisted in knots, your hands would have been shaking if you hadn’t had a death-grip on the heavy sword. Cassian gave you a searing kiss, promising you the world and more - once we finish this, that’s what he had said. You swallowed back the knot forming in the center of your throat, blinked away the tears pricking at the back of your eyes. You held the blade parallel between you, leveled, steady in both hands. All you could muster was a nod, an agreement, a promise to figure it all out later. 

It just made sense that Cassian would find his mate in the middle of a war, his most prized possession handed over willingly to you. He was prepared to beg you to take it, to have some sort of protection in case he - your first line of protection - had failed. You took the hilt like a true warrior and Cassian was convinced that’s what snapped the bond. 

You recalled that moment often, the fear swirling in your stomach disassociated with the sudden thrill thrumming through your veins. It was a whirl of emotion, a feeling you were sure you weren’t going to forget for the rest of your life. 

Your ceremony had been placed on the backburner for months after the war. The focus was on rebuilding, recovering after the war. Tensions still ran high, leaving neither of you with much time for each other amongst mitigating tensions between the other Courts. You were surprised you two had managed to keep this suspicion quiet for so long, neither your High Lord nor High Lady commenting (aloud, at least) on your newfound closeness to their General. 

Opting for the more private route, you and Cassian snuck off when you could, taking the time to explore your new relationship and mating bond. Though once the cat was out of the bag, the whole Inner Circle made it into a whole event. One they would surely regret, upon finding out how lovey dovey the two of you had become over such a short amount of time. And how you weren’t afraid to show it. 

But within the private conversations with your mate, Cassian had confessed that he wanted a real ceremony. It was, after all, in the middle of battle, with the both of you in warriors’ leathers, the heavy Illyrian blade between the two of you, when you’d realized you were mates. It seemed only fitting to have a proper Illyrian wedding. One that perhaps his mother would be proud to see. 

You’d thought that actually planning the mating ceremony would have involved a lot more joint decisions between you and Cassian. Perhaps the Illyrians were more antiquated than you’d realized. The ritual was rooted in tradition, leaving minimal decision making at all. There was a method to it all, one you didn’t plan on arguing about. Besides, you’d run away from your own Court years ago, not planning on having a traditional High Fae mating ceremony anyway. You were being adopted into the Night Court family and it seemed only fitting this was your initiation. 

It was a week before the ceremony and the two of you were barred from seeing each other. While the bride was typically whisked away to a cabin secluded in the Illyrian mountains, Cassian deemed that a bit much. You’d agreed to have the ceremony at the cabin Rhysand had gifted the two of you,  but you and Cassian wanted to spend your first evening there together. He and his brothers opted to stay at the House of Wind for the week, while you stayed with the other females at the River House. 

Feyre had quickly accepted you into her home, as she had defected from her previous Court as well. While you had not expected to stay in Night for very long, your newfound family welcomed you more than your own true family even had. You had fit in quite nicely, befriending Elain and Mor as well, Nesta was civil to you (which apparently was better than how she treated some people). There was also the added bonus of Cassian, the male you’d grown fast friends with. You’d been drawn to him, falling into inside jokes and becoming nearly inseparable. 

The week dragged on, the anticipation for the mating ceremony and you missing your mate made the minutes tick by slowly. You’d almost begun counting the seconds until you could see him again. 

“(Y/N),” Feyre called, pulling you from your thoughts. “You feeling alright?”

“Yeah,” you replied, opening the guest bedroom door. “Just daydreaming.” She took your hand in hers, a large smile pulling at her lips as she guided you back to the main living room. There you were met with Elain and the seamstress, discussing some silk fabric, patiently waiting for your return to the sitting room. Elain nearly jumped from her chair, scurrying over to you with open arms and a pink glow lacing her cheeks. 

“You look absolutely gorgeous,” she beamed, flashing a smile quite similar to her sister’s. The two Archerons showered you in compliments, admiring every feature of your wedding dress, from the corseted bodice to the long skirts to the lace adorning your collarbones and arms. They hadn’t quite noticed that the pattern matched the same swirl of Illyrian ink Cassian bore on his own chest and arms - a secret that just the two of you would share. 

“Thank you,” you said, unable to hide your blush. You ran your hands over the pristine white dress while the seamstress worked down your back to pin any excess material. 

“I’ll have the final alterations done in three days time,” she said, gathering her needles and pins. “We’ll do a final fitting then.”

You thanked the Fae and made your way to your bedchamber to change and return the dress to the seamstress. You carefully draped the material over your arm and brought it back out to her. While Feyre walked her out of her estate, Elain dragged you to the kitchen. It seemed as though her whole garden had been pulled up and placed on the High Lady’s kitchen table. It was piled high with blues and greens, leaves trailing from the back door though the kitchen to the small table. 

“Rhysand told me they don’t have nearly this selection of flowers in Illyria.” Elain frowned, fingers fiddling with the petals strewn across the surface. “I pulled a few from my garden, ones that I think won’t be too brash at the cabin…”

Elain trailed off as you walked around the table, eyes scanning the various piles of flowers and vines she had set up. “I like these,” you replied, picking up a deep red flower. Of all the plants Elain sampled from her garden, this was the only one that reminded you of Cassian - the same deep red ruby color of his siphons. 

Elain nearly screamed in excitement. “I knew it - the camellias are so beautiful this time of year!” She rummaged through the cabinets until she found her pruners, ready to bounce out to the garden to clip more. “We can weave it with the ivy and make crowns - oh! And we’ll need some tuberose flowers for your bouquet and - ”

Feyre gave you a knowing look as she rejoined you, and lovingly rolled her eyes at her sister. “Elain will take care of it, (Y/N), don’t you worry. She’s been waiting her whole life for this moment.” She chuckled softly, brushing some dirt into a pile with her shoe.

“For my mating ceremony?” You questioned rhetorically, picking up a string of vines.

“Any ceremony,” Feyre laughed.

“Go get an apron,” Elain called, already halfway out the door. “We’ll weave the crowns when I get back!”

“I don’t want to buy a sword,” Cassian scoffed, mustering all his strength to punch Azriel in the face.

The blue-siphoned male swiftly dodged, side-stepping Cassian’s fist and kicking a leg toward his brother’s chest. Cassian caught his ankle, but Azriel was quick to twist from his grasp. “How about making her one?” Azriel asked, readying to jut his fist out toward the other male. 

“There’s an idea,” Cassian muttered, holding his arm up to block his brother’s jab with his bicep.

Rhyand stood on the sideline, sharpening his own Illyrian blade. “Excellent job waiting until the last minute,” he called toward the male in the training ring. 

“It’ll take a day tops,” he replied, groaning when Azriel’s fist met his ribcage. 

“I’ll see if Aldric has any spare time,” Rhys commented, shaking out his own wings, readying to leave the House of Wind, letting his brothers try to kill themselves alone. He had a mate to get home to, anyway.

“No,” Cassian said, dropping his fighting stance and straightening out to face his High Lord. “I don’t want to make any sword. I’m going to Illyria to forge it.”

And that’s what he did.

Cassian left for the Illyrian mountains early the next morning. 

This was to be the sword to pass down to his children - his sons and daughters that would one day learn to wield the Illyrian blade. It was at the hands of such an Ilyrian sword that he discovered his mate, his true equal. It was tradition for the male to present his female with an Illyrian blade, one that was meant to be passed down from father to eldest son for centuries. Cassian never had a true father, thus never had a sword or a last name to pass on. 

Despite sharing the sword with you during the war with Hybern, he wanted a clean blade, one not tainted with the blood from the great war, one he could train his children with, one that would be passed down for generations. He visited a blacksmith in a warcamp near Windhaven, a small town with no troublesome soldiers and few civilians to worry about. The blacksmith had been welcoming to Cassian, offering him plenty of metal to smelt. 

Cassian had long respected the art of building a blade. He hadn’t fired the metal nor hammered the hard steel before, so his anticipation had turned to apprehension, as he held the heavy hammer in his calloused hand. 

So Cassian hammered out his rage. The rage pent up for over five centuries. That he used to fuck away as a young Illyrian, that he used to beat into his comrades during training. The rage that he sometimes took out of his brothers, and only confided in you about when he felt at his lowest. He smashed and pounded and shaped the metal. He would accept nothing less than perfection, not for you, not for his children. 

____________________________________

Azriel walked you down the aisle.

Well, the makeshift aisle in the heart of your new cabin. The couches and chairs had been arranged on opposite sides of the living room, allowing you and your friend to walk to the end of the room to meet the love of your life. 

The string deep in your chest tightened as your stomach coiled in anticipation. Azriel held the bouquet of flowers out to you, the whites and reds and greens harsh against his black leathers. You smiled in thanks, straightening your dress on your hips before accepting the bouquet. “Congratulations, (Y/N),” Azriel whispered, offering you a small smile in return. 

You wrapped your arms around the male, careful of his wings, as he allowed you to pull him into a tight hug. The male, though silent and private, became a close friend very quickly. Perhaps just because of his quick remarks and blunt jabs at your mate. “Thank you,” you replied, tucking your face against his chest. “I’m glad to have found my way here.”

“Someone had to come along and tame Cass,” he replied, deep voice quieter than the snow that fluttered around the cabin. He pressed a kiss to your cheek as you laughed, then straightened up and offered you his arm. “Never thought I’d see the day. But I knew as soon as you showed up on Feyre’s doorstep.” You linked your arm though his, the cool leather pressing through the thin sleeve of your dress. “I could smell it on him.”

With a playful grimace, you nudged the Shadowsinger, biting your own lip to refrain from laughter. “I think I heard him fall down the stairs as soon as I walked in.”

Azriel chuckled, nodding his head toward the end of the hallway. You smiled in response, breath falling shallow in your lungs. You played with the crown atop your head, making sure if sat perfectly against your updone hair, the braids Elain nad Nesta spent hours completing. You and Azriel walked to the end of the hall, turning towards the living room so slowly. 

You watched as Feyre and Rhys strolled toward the end of the room, standing on either side of Cassian. Mor and Emerie were next, wearing matching shades of pink, strolling toward their High Lord and Lady. Elain and Lucien followed suit, the female glanced over her shoulder to take a peek at you in your white dress.

Cassian stood at the end of the room, wings perched high over his shoulders, back straight and head held high. He faced the priestess; tradition had it such that the male did not see his bride until the final moments. Your breath caught as the bond pounded in your chest, thrumming with life and anticipation. 

Azriel stepped to the right of Cassian, silent as ever, and Elain took your bouquet. As the priestess greeted you, Cassian turned. 

He flexed his fingers against his leathers, then clenched his hands into fists. It took every ounce of patience in him to not reach out for you. To not trace the lace adorning your shoulders and arms, the Illyrian tattoos that were written in ink on his own skin. To not trace the sides of your body, snuggly wrapped in white fabric, hugging every curve of your body. To not curl that rogue strand of hair behind your ear. To not kick everyone out of your shared cabin and ravage you right there in the living room. 

He took a shaky breath and offered you a smile, a pink blush crawling up his dark cheeks. 

You couldn’t hear what the priestess was saying, didn’t care, really. All you cared about was the male in front of you, his hazel eyes, that dark hair, the black leathers he wore the day he swore he’d mate you. 

When the priestess asked him for his vows, he swallowed. You watched as his throat bobbed against the stiff collar of his armor. You were mesmerized. He spoke in the old Illyrian tongue, the words foreign on your Fae ears. You’d maybe heard it once, twice, if you really thought about it. The sounds were harsh, you weren’t sure if he was speaking coherently at all. Rhys and Azriel nodded along, smiling as they recognized the male’s soft words. 

Tender meaning, harsh tongue. 

He knelt before you, restraining himself from reaching out to you. Rhysand handed him a blade, gleaming silver, shining in the reflection of the fire. He made a promise to you in Illyrian:

With this blade, I am yours. I swear to lay my life down before yours. Before yours and the lives we create. Together, we are one. I offer you this blade as an extension of myself, in which you will be protected forever with me - by my side. You are my equal, my mate. Let this mark the union between us, scarred forever. The day the bond snapped, I swore that I would kill and die to protect you. I have made that same promise every day and I intend to until the day I die. 

He wished you understood him, perhaps he’ll translate his vows fully to you one day. When he might be brave enough to speak those promises aloud in your mother tongue. For now, this would suffice.

He stood, towering over you, and held the hilt of the blade out to you. You’d accepted with shaky hands, the sword heavy in your hands. You held Cassian’s open palm in your other hand, setting the blade against his hand. His bright eyes burned into yours as he nodded, ever so faintly, as you dragged the blade down the center of his palm. 

Not even a flinch. 

Cassian retook the blade, holding your hand in his bloodied one. He watched with wide eyes as he marked you the same, sliding the blade against your palm. Blood pooled in your hands, fingers intertwined as your other hand rested atop his, both of you holding the handle of your new family sword. The first heirloom of many. 

That marked the Illyrian ceremony. No rings, just matching scars adorning the palms of your left hands. The blood you’d shed for each other, the blood you’d share as he held your hand in his, squeezing it tight. Beads of red dropped to the floor, dotting the gleaming blade between you. It rolled to your white dress, staining the fabric. 

Cassian stood before you, unable to believe he held your hand in his, his mate.

“Give her a kiss already,” Rhys called, poking his head out from behind Azriel’s wing. 

Cassian grinned, left hand cupped your cheek as he dipped down to capture your lips against his. You smiled against his lips, chest burning with the glowing bond that tied your souls together. You felt the blood smudge against your cheek, your own hand curling over his shoulders and resting at the back of his neck. 

You felt Cassian’s chest press against yours, the blade still held between your torsos. The blade that would be passed down to your children and your children’s children. Cassian could certainly weap, thinking of the nights in the cold, dirty Illyrian warcamp. Where he cursed his father and prayed for his mother. Where he never thought he’d find a mate, a true equal in life. He’d been lesser than everyone he’d ever encountered. Even after completing the Rite that proved otherwise.

But it was only when he prepared himself to die in the war with Hybern, when he handed you his sharpest Illyrian blade, when he found his mate. When he found you.
