I have seen the theories of Tamlin and Briar. I am sorry another human for Tamlin is nothing but a blow to him, he deserves someone who will be with him for centuries. He deserves a stronger female character too someone with abilities that could rival or surpass feyre. I’m sorry but this isn’t it. She needs to be what Tamlin wants and what she wants in him. He needs someone who will CALM HIS STORM. A gentle firm female who I pray to god has more Witts and comebacks than picking up a sword because it’s not just strong fighters that represent all females. Not just swords that bring down empires. Accross countries and nations women have destroyed empires not with picking up a sword but our witts, BRAINS, OUR INTELLECT.

If people can like Disney Villains, Voldemort, Rhysand, or literally any villain in the history of forever and the world still exists. People liking Tamlin is not going to cause the damn apocalypse.

Intro made by @positivelyruined

Welcome!

This is an independent roleplay (written & visual narration) blog of Briar, High Lady of the Spring Court, and Tamlin's mate (AU) from the ACOTAR series. | This character was created by Sarah J. Maas for A Court of Wings and Ruin, and I took her to the next level. The writing will be a mix of canon and non-canon compliant. All original writing here is penned by Mel. My main blog is @booksnwriting

I am a pro-Tamlin writer. I will not tolerate character bashing. As most pro-Tamlin fans are, I am anti-feysand.

My accepted romance ships include: Brilin

My accepted friendships include: Lucien & Elain, Bron, Hart, Eris, Nuan, and any possible canon or second gen AU character of the canon characters (except for Rhysand...Feyre will be a frenemy I keep at bay).

Funny how when the roles were reversed for Nesta who Cassian saw her as big boobs was thin haggered and traumatized yet he wanted to take her clothes off. Yet yall love him for it

Oh bat boys

The bat boys

Apuuu…

And funny Rapesand did the same thing to ferret yet here we are. The only time tam touched her was when she was fed and clothed but yall don’t wanna talk about that. After he fed and clothe this girl is when he wants to Jump on bored while SA’ing her UTM.

I beg I beg Rest‼️

It'll never NOT be fascinating to me that the romance between a feral half-starved human girl and her High Lord bf who fell for her as she was half-starved and because she was feral is written off as him thinking she'll play his perfect little cute housewife lmao

@feylinweek Day 3 - Alternate Universe

Acomaf AU where everything is the same but Feyre and Tamlin are a little better at communication and compromise.

[praetorqueenreyna]

Hi-res version of the frostbite.studios & atouchofmagicdesigns ACOTAR dust covers! Bless them for making Lucien and Tamlin look SO FUCKING GOOOOOOOOOOOOOODDDD!!!

[extremely-judgemental]

Man, I feel so dumb. Eris sending his baby brother to beast land when peaceful Summer and Winter exist? Tamlin adopting the runt no questions asked or conditions whatsoever? Tamlin killing his brothers making an enemy out of Autumn only to protect one little homeless baby? Tamlin and Eris definitely fucked at some point. Like, literally no other reason to do all this.

My @acotargiftexchange gift for @witch-and-her-witcher: Secret lovers Tamlin and Rhysand

Big thanks go out to Santa helper @highlordofkrypton, who graciously offered to contribute a little ficlet for the piece as well~! You can read it under the cut:

Meet me when the spirit blossoms bloom

The stars fall from the sky, sneaky little droplets under the cover of Night. They slip through the crack of Tamlin’s window, dancing across his sheets with their tails entwined like held hands. The bright baubles play, forgetting their missive for a brief moment of joy. The littlest one tumbles, bumping right into the young lord’s chin. It scrambles over his lips and wiggles under his nose until its a—ah—

“Achoo!”

Tamlin wakes with a surprise. He looks at the lights, and they pass on the message with great theatrics. He scoops them into his arms, and carries them to the window sill where they may watch, or leave. Whatever they please. He dresses swiftly, faster than the anxious beat of his heart.

I shouldn’t. I can’t allow this to continue.

And yet, his fingers fly across the buttons of his shirt, buttoning them with swift ease. His body thrums with eagerness. Each thump in his chest speaks his truth: I want to see him, I want to see him, I want to see him. Tamlin scoops up the stars as he leaps onto the sill, gently tossing them into the sky. They have a duty now, too, to watch over them and warn them of danger. With each escape, Tamlin cannot help but expect the sound of the alarms, of the furious steps of his brothers and of his name twisted into that of a traitor’s, but it never comes. One day, it will, but he takes today for himself and gifts it to the one who summons him.

Tamlin slips out of his father’s court and flies the rest of the way, trusting his great tawny wings to carry him where he needs to go. Past Summer, past Winter and over the Middle. If these Lords sense his trespassing, they say nothing.

I have to tell him. I have to be strong for both of us.

The meadow in Dawn is one of many safe spaces where duty, tradition and expectation cannot find them. It is a quiet place shielded by trees where alabaster flowers bloom. Their cores are not of colourful pollen, but of tiny little wisps, little spirits of neither human nor faerie nature. The wisps keep their secret, and Tamlin will be eternally grateful to them.

There is no choice to make, only something he must do. Love or life. He cannot love if one of them is dead. By ending this, he is protecting both of them. He is making sure that his beauty, his wonder and his charm carry on somewhere in this damned world, even if it’s not with Tamlin. 

He will change lives. He has already changed mine.

It’s different in his presence. Rhysand brings the moon and the stars with him, his personal guard while the rest of the nation slumbers. A dashing smile blooms on his handsome features, growing wider and wider at the sight of Tamlin. His joy is clear on his face, and the flush on his cheeks is a matching pair to Tamlin’s.

“Rhysand,” Tamlin breathes.

“Darling,” Rhysand hums, reaching for him.

“Wait—”

The words get caught in his throat as he sees the elation in Rhysand’s face falter. The smile slips away, replaced with worry and… sadness.

“What is it?” Rhysand asks, just a whisper, as if he can still prevent the moment from shattering.

I can’t do it.

Tamlin closes his eyes, shaking his head. He exhales, and leans in close. “I think… I think I’m in love with you.”

Rhysand chuckles in relief. He bumps his head against Tamlin’s, mindful of his antlers. “I thought you were going to say something else. I love you too.”

There’s a sorrow in Rhysand’s eyes that never quite leaves, no matter how fine he appears. He knows what Tamlin was going to say. The end is coming, sooner or later, but not now. Not if Rhysand can help it.

Just one more day.

One more day by the spirit blossoms.

Potential Tamlin Mates: (not briar)

@thefatesofspring made a great suggestion when it came to Tamlins mate not being Briar and i totally agree. She could be someone older, with raw pure magic, and hopefully ANOTHER SPECIES of fea. Kinda over the humanoid looking ones. She could have horns, wings (something other than bat or angel, kinda tired of that) a true fairy 🧚 feature. Heck a tail would be nice. And honestly a little diversity too. ( I know some authors like to stay away from other characters because they can’t describe them or their “sexy time” but it just shouldn’t be that hard 😂 you know what we aren’t being picky here. She can be as black as night or have blue skin, green skin… red skin… that would even be perfect but fae at her true core. Below are some examples. Let me know your picks I’d love an imput. Also please I just randomly selected of the internet no ai brigades please it’s an idea I’m throwing out there.

I love the freakin fairy with leaves in her hair 😍😍

[wallflowers-in-the-wind]

Every time I think I’ve run out of songs Tamlin would sing about Feyre I find another.

[springcourthighlady]

Hmm, that sounds like something I encourage you to do with me. You still have a little trouble. But I believe you'll get there. One day, you will love yourself. And until then, I'll love you enough for both of us, Tam 🫶🏻✨️

“Tell me every terrible thing you’ve ever done and let me love you anyway.” — Unknown

[springcourthighlady]

I don't often speak about my time trapped in Hybern's cells...and for good reason. I try to forget what brings me pain and look for the positives & the light my life has now. But I also remember that if I had never been pained & tormented that way, I never would have met Tamlin. He never would have healed that pain in secret. And I never would have remembered his face during my healing journey, enough to ask Viviane who he was, before traveling to Spring, & helping him heal himself, too. Fate♡

The first time I visited Spring was only about a year or so after I was turned fae by Hybern...by the Cauldron. I had been one of the human test subjects to prepare it for the Archeron sisters... and the only survivor. In the process, I lost all of my friends and my best friend, Lily, who I deemed a sister. I was struggling but trying not to show it during the day. I told Viviane and Kal that I was going to travel a bit, and I decided to try and help rebuild Spring. Tamlin was a grumpy bastard but more sad than anything.

The second night, I had one of my horrific nighmares and ended up projecting lashes onto my body. I had been doing well with practicing my magic, but in my dreams it gets away from me. Tamlin was nothing but kind and soft with me. He understood more than anyone... and then our bond snapped. I was grateful for him that night, and I have been every night since.

How it started *Under the Mountain*:

Feyre: “So that’s the love of my life.”

Rhys: “Really? Tamlin? That guy?”

Feyre: “Yeah. Thoughts?”

Rhys: “And prayers. Girl what-”

Where it went *Early ACOWAR*:

Feyre: “So this is my mate.”

Lucien: “Really? Your mate is that guy?? Rhysand???”

Feyre: “Yeah. Thoughts?”

Lucien: “And Prayers. Girl what-”

[bindinglove]

i remember literally peeing laughing when feyre was talking to rhys about the tithe and rhys was like god no we don’t have tithe how cruel, and feyre was like omg so you guys don’t tax people? and rhys was like no we definitely tax people

i literally cackled like c’mon man

[wallflowers-in-the-wind]

The utter insanity to think they have a right to tell us who to and not to ship Elain with on top of the lies and slander.

All this for Elain! Not Feyre or Rhysand since apparently my guy Tamlin is completely fine for them to ship him with or any other character not banned from the character weeks.

This is insanity and gatekeeping let people ship who they want with Elain.

You know what fuck it I’m going to add shipping Elain with Tamlin to my favorite pairings and there’s nothing y’all can do about it.

We have had a few asks about the "rule" regarding shipping Elain with abusive characters, so we wanted to post a clarification.

SJM herself considers Tamlin an abuser - details about a helpline were even added to the author notes at the end of ACOMAF - and she still makes negative comments about him after ACOSF. For these reasons, we feel safe classifying Tamlin as such, at least for the moment.

As stated in previous years, this "rule" is a suggestion to make those who resonated with certain aspects of Feyre's journey, most specifically her experiences with Tamlin, feel safe enough to participate in Elain's appreciation week. We are not saying that you cannot ship who you like, or create content for this event; however, the decision that the event's pages will not engage with such content prioritizes the comfort of those fandom members.

Our goal is to allow others to safely celebrate their love of Elain. Shipping her with abusive characters does not play into fostering a positive space for her.

Thank you all for your understanding.

If anyone has any other questions, please just send in an ask!

[copypastus]

I believe Tamlin would get better much faster if given some rest, love and care instead of people coming to his house and lands to yell at him.

Another piece I ran out of time to finish for @tamlinweek
