Moiraine: Why do you keep waking up with new brusies on your neck I already healed those and they're back where are they coming from

Moiraine two days later:

Ishy making Rand throw up a bat is like a cat bring their human a dead thing, he’s going “thinking of you 🥰”

Aviendha: While you were busy studying the blade I hunted and provided breakfast for everyone, as is the aiel way. Wetlander.

thank you, it's working, also watching them murder each other for 23423 times really made me want to write a 5th hurt/comfort chapter so that may happen if my daughter stays inside long enough, fingers crossed < 3

Lanfear/Moiraine Fic Recommendations

(Neither of these were written by me, I just really loved them and wanted to share 💙🖤)

my spirit’s sleeping somewhere cold by snowonabeach

Rated Explicit

I think this captured my view on their dynamic the best, they’re not just enemies to lovers, they’re enemies AND lovers. It’s just my personal opinion on the pairing of course

Dark Matter // Trip Through the Ways by trollocksinmybollocks

Rated Mature, 4 Chapters

I know there’s supposed to be Rand/Lanfear in there but when reading it, I didn’t really get that feeling between them. Lanfear and Moiraine are very clearly the main pairing in the fic. They are really cute in this one (I mean as affectionate and cute as Lanfear and Moiraine can be to one another) I think I remember there being some spoilers from the books though

If you do end up reading these and enjoy the fic please remember to leave kudos to the authors since I can’t give them more

The exact moment she decided she wanted that nerdy Ogier carnally.

It's Saturday AND my day off that means I'm lurking on the fic rec channel of discord servers searching on my fics and blushing about what was written about them a while ago. (tbh I'm friendly, and I don't think it's weird at all commenting on old works on AO3. no pressure just saying.)

[trollocks-in-my-bollocks]

You'd think writing a chapter would make you one chapter closer to being done with a fic. You'd think that, wouldn't you??

But no, you are in fact 3 chapters further away.

It's so funny that they 100% confirmed Laman's Sin and his relationship with Moiraine in the show because like

Moiraine Damodred, glowing, wifed up, smiling ear to ear and on her way to announce to every Aes Sedai she meets that her fuck ass uncle has just been violently killed

the self-indulgent fanfiction will continue until morale improves

[trollocks-in-my-bollocks]

I do not want to 'well actually' a good funny post but I do want WoT fandom to know that for reasons of Maths and Genetics, it's estimated that the most common recent ancestor of all humans on the planet now IRL may have lived as recently as 2000 years ago, and likely not significantly (order of magnitude) more than that. So it's extremely possible if not probable that if Rand has a direct ancestral lineage to Charn, Mierin Sedai's servant who lived approximately 3500 years before Rand, every single living Aiel does too.

It's also possible their most recent common ancestor was someone who lived slightly further back (so people would have multiple viewpoints on the end of the Age of Legends) but like. It's funnier to me actually if either he is literally just the MRCA of all Aiel or the MRCA is one of his direct descendants, because that means all the Clan Chiefs have memories of Mierin Sedai, and the comedy potential in this is huge.

Rand: so what did you see in the rings

Moiraine: I had a lot of sex with Lanfear

Rand: WHAT

Moiraine: oh don’t look at me like that I had sex with you too

Mierin with her hair up in a bun, her white lab coat on, her closed toe flats, getting visibly excited as she talks about her research is making me physically unwell

Back to back episodes we get Siuan and Moiraine telling stories about their uncles. One a disreputable hero from a lowly background, who died protecting life, the other a respected villain from the highest echelon of society, who died because he destroyed life. Hello narrative contrasts. I see you.

[trollocks-in-my-bollocks]

omg we finally got the mierin backstory and I truly cannot stop laughing her life sucks so bad all because oopsies she accidentally broke Satan out of jail? LMFAOOOOOOOO

Imagine you had a terrible break up with the person who is the love of your life, but you weren't the love of theirs. You watch this person marry someone they very clearly love and adore more than you. You watch the two of them have a family and grow happier and happier. And you can't even really escape seeing this because they're your colleagues and your ex is one of the most well known figures in the world. They're everywhere being very happy and living the life you wanted and you just have to watch it. And everyone only knows you as the person who used to date your ex and got dumped

So you pour yourself into your career and research. You're talented, after all. You're very talented and strong in the power even in an era of strong channelers. You haven't received the recognition you want or deserve, but you're still working, still researching, still making break throughs. Constantly being reminded of your ex by everyone and everything, but you're doing your own thing. And, well, its not really the life you wanted. And you are lonely, you are heartbroken, but you're going to help people and that will give you some fulfillment. You just have to commit to the work and not worry about your ex.

And you do make some genuinely remarkable breakthroughs. You and the team your working with find a source of what seems to be unlimited power. Something that isn't limited by gender or ability, something that anyone can tap into. In an age of already immense technology and knowledge and magic, you found something that could catapult it into a golden age for what is already a golden age. You're doing something that will help everyone, that will change the world for the better. You don't know what it might be. You have no reason to know what it is. No one has even heard of the Dark One, after all, how could they have expected you to?

And you tap that source and it does change the world by unleashing the ultimate evil into an Age that had forgotten such things even existed. Everyone knows you were involved. Other researchers that were working on this commit suicide in shame. You're the one left to take the blame, the scorn, the humiliation, the guilt for something that no one could have seen coming. For something that everyone would have done if they had been in your shoes. For something you certainly didn't mean to do. Your grand act that was going to save everyone damned the world. Your crowning achievement that was going to give you the recognition outside of the shadow of the person who broke your heart is now the thing that will stop anyone from trusting you or recognizing your talents ever again. You haven't even sworn to the Shadow yet and people already hate you, already blame you, are already concocting stories about you and your motivations.

And of course, the only thing people remembered about you before this was that your ex broke your heart. So now to everyone, you're just a jealous bitter ex girlfriend that brought literal hell to earth because you couldn't get over a man.

That's literally all anyone will ever see you as from now on, so that might as well be who you are.

Ok but what if at the end of the whole show, Moiraine and Siuan's story ends with the same scene that Moiraine saw in the rings? Where she and Siuan are married and happy together at the end of it all? What if i cry? What then?
