Wrote a fic for one of my all time favorite series Defy the Night! I was literally plotting all this out in my head for weeks before I could actually write it after finals week for university 🙂

[lilyharvord]

All you hoes claiming Maven is King Ruthless/Angst boy extraordinaire have clearly never met Prince Corrick “I have murdered and tortured many MANY people and have to physically hold myself back so I don’t make the woman I love hopelessly sad even when she’s not around but I will do those things if I have to at the expense of others because I love my brother and will do anything to keep him on the throne and will do vile things to save my skin and the skin of only those I care about” of Kandala and it fucking shows.

Why aren’t more of you reading Defy The Night.

Do it now. I am so in love with Prince Corrick, and you all should be too.

It’s me and three other people sitting on folding chairs in the dark. That’s this fandom.

PLEASE 😩

Corrick: Who did this to you?

Tessa, with a small bruise on her forehead: I accidentally ran into a door.

Corrick: Does it hurt?

Tessa: A little, but I’m okay.

[The Next Day]

Corrick: Where the fuck is the door?

I have just finished "Destroy the Day" by Brigid Kemmerer and I need moooore 😭 Why is it always the same after finishing books?!

If I have any idea for a one-shot I'll try to write one, you may also give some ideas in comments, DMs or anywhere 😅

I NEED MORE, where are the fans of these books? 😭🤌

[books-and-draws-eclectic]

I love the dynamic between Corrick and Lochlan 😂😭

I drew these two idiots because goodness know there is NOT enough art of them. Close ups under the cut

Btw hands are still really frickin hard to draw and I hate it. Also you'll never guess how long it took me to figure out what kind of bodice to draw for Tessa's dress (entirely way too much time). Although the "pile of curls" that is her hair was really fun and easy so I suppose it cancels out.

✩⚔️🏰Series Review:

⋆ Adventure and suspense ⋆ Political intrigue ⋆ Romance ⋆ Multiple pov

What started out as a twist on Robin Hood turned into an action-packed, high-stakes adventure with brooding pirates, power-hungry consuls, and warring kingdoms that I could not put down. With each book in the series, I grew closer to Kemmerer’s characters and further immersed myself in the world they inhabited. All the tears I shed were worth it in the end and I look forward to reading Kemmerer’s next project.

So I've been burnt out on reading (it sucks but it happens) and I hadn't read anything since early March. I bought Defy the Night by Brigid Kemmerer in March and I just let it sit on my nightstand.

I decided to finally crack it open since the plot sounded intriguing...

Oh my God.

This book y'all.

I'm in shambles.

IT'S SO GOOD!

I'm over a 100 pages in and I love it. I love the characters. I love the world building. I love the political intrigue. The romance is going to be good, I can tell 😍

Anyway, I'm thankful this book got me excited about reading again and out of my dry spell.

SPOILERS FOR Destroy The Day by Brigid Kemmerer 💜

Pages 419/420, I loved this scene SO MUCH

[kristinen8849]

I wrote Corrick and Tessa’s first meeting cause I love them ❤️

[cynthiav06]

I recently finished the Defy the Night Trilogy and I am so in awe and so overwhelmed with feels (that happens so rarely if at all when reading). It's just so good and I could rant about how everything clicks in place so perfectly and how every little relation is so well thought but that would take ages. It's politics centric but the plot just hooks you in so well and the characters are just such aptly fleshed out. And it just keeps getting better with each book. Like this is right up there with Shatter me series, Six of Crows Duology or the Folk of the Air trilogy and definitely worth multiple re-reads. Expect more rants about this series in the future until it gets the love it deserves. (I have finally found the perfect place to vent out the post-book high)

[thetreethatspeaks]

i just need people to know that i found a audiobook of my favorite book on youtube for free and that has brought me so much joy

[emo-emu64]

I just finished Destroy the Day, and I am officially finished with the Defy the Night Trilogy, as devastating as that is to say.

if you plan to read this or you are a friend or colleague of mine that I have begged to read it! Do it!! But go away so I don’t ruin everything for you. Please.

spoilers below cut

I knew Harristan and Quint were gonna get gay with each other, and I was not disappointed. They are just so cutie and I love them very, very much.

speaking of which, when they “died” I was like, this would be such a cute little way to let them live out their dreams as the stable boy and the mill boy! And I’m so glad that’s what happened, I don’t know if I could handle it if they got to be themselves and then were killed instantly anyways.

loving the fact that they needed a fake name for Quint and they were like “you worked in a mill, so you shall be Miller!” Horribly creative, my liege

also, I’m really happy that Corrick knew, and didn’t feel like it had to be some huge thing. I have lots of siblings, some of which are LGBTQ+ and it wouldn’t have felt right for them to be brothers that spent their whole lives together, but Corrick can’t tell when Harristan is checking a dude out. Very well done! Especially because it included a bit of brotherly teasing. They are written so well for siblings, you can tell Kemmerer either has some herself or has really studied sibling dynamics in preparation.

Tessa and Corrick make me oh so happy. I wish I was her, please just one chance. They are so perfect for each other, very Hades and Persephone. They will make excellent rulers.

I was also ecstatic when it was revealed Corrick wasn’t dead! I would not have been able to handle it!!!

and how could I forget Corrick and Lochlan’s friendship. Nothing makes me happier than two men who love their partners so much that they can’t help but get along. Lochlan had lost his own brother, and he knew what Corrick needed, and he will be a perfect King’s Justice. (Sweetest moment ever, I shed many a tear) I was hoping that Corrick would appoint him for the same reasons Corrick stated in Destroy the Day. They are just so funny when they mess with each other, I love them so very much.

wonderful, wonderful books. Sad they are over, but glad Brigid Kemmerer didn’t turn it into some huge drawn out series. She knew three books was all she needed to tell this particular story. Not that I would be mad about a spin-off or two, however 👀

Corrick: “They’ll never find the body” is such a boring threat, a better threat would be “they’ll never stop finding the body”

Quint, tired and bored: Or just say “they’ll be finding parts of you for at least 4 months, and you’ll still be alive for 3 of them”

Corrick: Now that’s a threat!

Tessa: *horrified silence*
