#shattered crowns

[lost-in-the-bright-lights]

[ Icarus would wake up still in Neth’s lap. He’s humming softly to herself, singing quietly bit at times, hand still running through Ic’s hair ]

(@nethrum)

[They’d cough slightly, clutching at their chest before taking deeper breaths to calm themselves down. Blinking their eyes again.. getting use to the feeling of being awake again]

Leshy feels his brothers face.

I always imagined that without Leshys crown he is fully blind but he has a good sense of smell based on what we learn from when he’s turned into a follower. I imagine at some point the bishops will learn to be a family again (not the best but they are working on it) and Leshy wants to feel Narinders face to get an idea because it’s been a while. This is my gf @7moonbird idea

[Ic didn’t really know fully of why they were down here. Maybe because it was quiet.. and they needed the quiet again. They didn’t fully catch what netherum was explaining. Something about how it wasn’t rae.. but yet- it hurt just the same. To them, this was all stupid. They shouldn’t be crying over some comments said to them.. but yet they are.

Icarus would remove their hands from their wings as they held another feather. Dropping it slightly to the side with the others. They were tired again..]

[Netherum leaves Rae’s room after a little while and went to check on Icarus. After no reply from knocking on their door, she starts searching the house, eventually making his way through the garden, looking for them]

[lost-in-the-bright-lights]

[Ic would stumble slightly, not expecting the door to be opened so quickly as they glanced up at neth]

“Dad… need to talk.. are you busy? Please..?”

[A frantic knock would be at neths door, just continuous knocks over and over]

@lost-in-the-bright-lights 

[They quickly dried their face and pulled the door open]

A little book rant! I love dual pov in romance books! I love them so so so much!!

And I especially love them when there's a closed off love interest who doesn't really emote much!

Because we go to character A (main character) and we see things from their perspective. They might do something stupid. They might be doing the most normal thing ever. They might be doing something very romantic. Heck they might be just breathing. And they look at character B and they're just standing there looking blankly, or looking grumpy, at most they might have a small smile.

AND THAN WE GET TO CHARACTER B POV!! AND THEY ARE JUST SCREAMING ON THE INSIDE!! LIKE THEY ARE GOING AKSKLDKSNSLDKNSKSPSNSKSOKS! They are in fact this close👌 to crying because of the feelings character A is making them feel.

I go feral over this!!

If I have to give some excamples

I would say one of the greatest moments in my existence was when I was reading Assistant To The Villain and Evie kissed Trystan AND THAN IMMEDIATELY we jumped to Trystan's pov! I almost cried ngl. I freaking screamed for 3 minutes straight (on the inside because I was in public). Honestly it was hilarious going to Evie's pov and she's all "Oh my god I would kill for him, I can't let him figure me out" and than we go to Trystan's and he's all "Crap I'd kill for her I can't let her figure me out".

Wes isn't the type of love interest I described but the extra chapters from Better Than The Movies that were from his pov (The party, Liz's proposal, Basketball Night and their road trip chapters) might have completed my entire life. Might have been the missing piece of my soul. Might have given me a new purpose for living. Might have rewired my brain. Just might have.

A Thousand Heartbeats by Kiera Cass made me experience all the emotions THEY JUST LOVE EACH OTHER SO MUCH THOSE FREAKING IDIOTS!!

*punching a wall* AARON! FUCKING! WARNER'S! POV! CHAPTERS!!!!

I'm reading the Shepherd King duology and book 2, Two Twisted Crowns has 3 pov but 2 of those are between the main character and her love interest in the first book so it counts (also this series is amazing please read it!!!)

I rescently read The Brightest Light of Sunshine by Lisina Coney, NA romance with an age gap, and it was so so cute and touching and when you read their povs you could tell they both were in love with each other from the begining but they were too stubborn to admit it to themselves! Again the love interest isn't really the type that I described but still they're idiots and he constantly fangirls over her so yeah.

Butcher and Blackbird gets a special mention because I love them! Idiots! Bafoons! Dumbasses in love! Both of them just go asjjskdjdd over each other tho so into the list it goes. God I'm eating this audiobook up like Rowan ate that beef niçoise (iykyk)!!!

Some very specific NA hockey player books and book series. I have needs.

I have to mention Defy The Night, I have to. I have yet to finish Defend The Dawn so shush don't tell me anything. Though I loved the dual pov there less about the romance and more when it came to presenting the current situation of the kingdom from both perspectives of the Royals and the Wilds. So it doesn't really fit with what this post is about but I just wanted to mention it because I really liked this book

And if I had to pick one book that I wish would have a dual pov...... Red White And Royal Blue. Even if Henry's inner monologue would have been a long string of "FUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUCCCCCCCCCCCCCCCCCCCCCKKKK I'M SO GAY I'M SO SO SO BLOODY GAY!!!!!". I'd pay good money for that actually

A little doodle of something I have planned for my fic SCFG (Shattered Crown, Forgiven God)

[lost-in-the-bright-lights]

[Rae's voice calls for them from across the garden, worried]

Icarus? Icarus- Birdie-

-@never-his-son

[Icarus would tilt their head slightly from their laying position on the grass. Coughing slightly as they heard rae. A small smile forming on their face]

S..star…

[lost-in-the-bright-lights]

[It would be icarus, who looked like a mess. Their hair was pulled out of its usual tied back ponytail they’d have to keep it out of their face. They seemed in a panic.. focused.. well that was until they tripped. Stumbling to the floor once again]

[Rae would hear from outside her room a loud bang with footsteps at a running pace down the corridor. Which was uncommon for this time of the day]

@lost-in-the-bright-lights

[Rae flinches at the noise, carefully peering outside the door]

[lost-in-the-bright-lights]

[A message pings on Ic’s comm- its from Netherum]

Hey birdie- are you okay? I cant find you-

(@lost-in-the-bright-lights)

Maybe you didn’t look hard enough. I’m around. Don’t worry about it.
