#vin x elend

[heronpoxed]

Say what you wanna say about Kelsier but that man knew how to love and he loved with a raw fucking passion.

For years he was led to believe that Mare had mercilessly betrayed him before she died and yet he still insanely loved and missed her — something that he stated as a simple fact and not as a guilty confession.

Kelsier and Mare had 0 page-time together, but they still managed to snatch my fucking heart and push my expectations through the roof precisely because of how Kelsier talked about her! Is there anyone who does it like him? Hell nah!

"that doesn't matter," she said. "you came back. no one's ever come back before."

[februerik]

OH NO THEY'RE STOOPID

[louwhose]

omg just realized that vin and elend are like THE cinderella story of scadrial

[godteri-takk]

The scene from page 257 in Mistborn: the hero of ages, where Vin wears a ballgown for the first time in ages and Elend is like omg Q////Q wife so beautiful <<3 yes i have weird headcanons for their haircolours

Finally resumed reading Well of Ascension—I’m loving how Vin is Elend’s personal assassin, killed the Lord Ruler, has surpassed Kelsier in Allomancy, could kill you six different ways with a paperclip, but Elend is 100% the “she asked for no pickles” one in the relationship

[smollittlebee]

oh yeah i forgot to add this to my first mistborn post-

Elend and Vin are very cute and i love them.

[my-melo-reads]

vin x elend will forever be my comfort ship. they’re just so cozy wtf

[aridotdash]

I love this, but more accurate might be

"I can make him worse ❤"

"I can let her make me worse ❤"

*puts them on a shelf*

[bobokaha]

In my very canon mind, Victor and Jayce are currently laying down and holding hands in a green field with flowers. (just like 2 certain mistborns)

[bowlingwithplanets]

Something that I’ve realized is that Brandon Sanderson is very good at writing about nerdy men that are absolutely in love with their strong wives/girlfriends.

1. Elend and Vin

2. Sazed and Tindwyl

3. Sarene and Raoden

I will add more to the list as they come to me. I’m currently reading Elantris and have a long way to go in the cosmere. (So please no spoilers in the comments)

hbd aesthetics - @xradiant- elend & vin venture

'There is something I've been meaning to tell you for some time.' She paused, blinking away her tears. 'You read too much. Especially in the presence of ladies.'

He smiled, throwing back his chair and grabbing her in a firm embrace. Vin closed her eyes, simply feeling the warmth of being held.

And realized that was all she had ever really wanted.”

[girlintheflesh]

oh you’re SICK for this one

My babies

[onewholovesreading]

Elend and Vin waltzing into the ball in their enemy city, all glamed up, was such a boss move🔥🔥

What Your Preferred Vin Ships Say About You

Read on for some definitely accurate analysis.

[Spoilers for end of Mistborn Era 1!]

I've done these "what your preferred ships" say lists before, if you'd like to check out the old ones: [Kaladin ships, Navani ships, Jasnah ships, femslash ships; also Moash ships by @cosmereplay]

1. Vin x Kelsier

In canon, they act like father & daughter. Sanderson has publicly disapproved of this ship. But you looked straight into the eyes of sense and god and whispered, "Your daughter calls me daddy too" and then giggled. Maniacally.

2. Vin x Shan Elariel

There you were, reading a book that couldn't possibly pass the Bechdel Test when suddenly, there was one shining moment. A moment with two ladies with a lot of similarities (both Mistborn, both want to kill each other) and shared interests (Elend, wanting to kill each other) who spend time together (trying to kill each other), and you said, "Yes. This is the one."

And you were right.

3. Vin x Zane

*Squints* Zane? Is that you?

4. Vin x Spook

You love Spook. You're sad that his and Vin's relationship wasn't explored more, especially after Spook had his glow-up. And if your fic doesn't involve Vin tenderly wrapping a pink handkerchief around Spook's eyes, then what are you doing?

5. Vin x Shallan

You wouldn't call yourself "brilliant" or "objectively correct," but if other people wanted to call you that, well, you wouldn't object.

6. Vin x Ruin

I mean, he did pierce her with his metal, if you know what I mean.

7. Vin x Preservation

I mean, she did fill his vessel, if you know what I mean.

8. Vin x TenSoon

You aren't necessarily a furry, but you understand their beliefs.

9. Vin x Allrianne

You've definitely thought about an Allrianne-Vin makeover scene.

10. Vin x Elend

After Hero of Ages, you need 3 things.

A good cry.

A hug.

And for Sanderson to pay your therapy bills.

[zephyscosmere]

This is the dumbest thing to have brainrot about, but for some reason I have become obsessed with a Mistborn x American Politics AU. Please enjoy the spoils.

Vote Straff Venture: Nothing Ventured, Nothing Gained

BREAKING NEWS: Straff Venture's son, himself in persuit of a political career, comes out in support of deocratic nominee, Kelsier. Elend: I grew up with that man and I do not wish my childhood upon this great nation. Reporters: Sir! Sir, what about Kelsier's alleged criminal charges? *later* Elend: They are just alleged, right? Vin: 🤷‍♀️ Elend: They're not alleged???

Straff Venture declines to comment on rumors that head of security is his illegitimate son.
