Imagines I've Written.

Oops

A Court of Silver Flames and House of Sky and Breath

SJM has confirmed that the ending of HOSAB has been planned from the beginning. Hence, whilst writing ACOSF, there is no way this mention of Merrill, and by default Gwyn, researching the connections between all their worlds is just a coincidence.

So, surely, we’ll get Merrill and Gwyn heavily featured in the crossover portion of CC3, helping Bryce find her way to Hel and helping understand the reach of the Asteri.

Not to mention, there are at least 8 volumes of books pertaining to ‘The Great War,’ which is 8 potential volumes worth of history on the Asteri and their role in Prythian.

Quotes that KILLED ME in Hosab a summary:

1.

"The frigid water hit Sofie like a bomb blast, and then the lead at her feet grabbed all that she was and might have been, and pulled her under"

First of all....fuck you

2.

"I was hoping to find a way to spend my life with her."

Second of all...FUCK YOU

3.

My stupid ass: I won't have my heart torn to pieces by Bryce and Danika's friendship in this book.

Sarah:

"The sorceress said a shade gently, “You won’t find any traces of Danika left in the Bone Quarter, you know.”"

Me:🤡

4.

"“And yet your father is allowed to stay in power?”

“Yeah. Aren’t all of these assholes allowed to stay in power? Who’s going to stop them?”

“Us. People like us. One day.”

Lidia Cervos everybody, the MVP, the Dreamer born in a Court (Or perhaps house is more appropriate) of fucking Nightmares.

5.

“You’re the first person I’ve spoken to normally in … a very long time.”

“How long?”

“So long that I think I’ve forgotten what it feels like to be myself. I think I’ve lost my true self entirely. To destroy monsters, we become monsters. Isn’t that what they say?”

And thus I pledge my undying love to this fucking ship that wrecked me.

6.

“They’re not worth my anger. I have to keep remembering that.”

Life lessons from Juniper everybody. You tell them girl, you tell them.

7.

It might have been the worst lie she’d ever told, because as Ithan left, he looked like he actually believed her.

What number if this? Oh yeah...seventh of all FUCK YOUUU

8.

“I’m sorry if I gave you false hope.”

“It kept her alive in my heart a little longer.”

When I tell you I fucking died....I. FUCKING. DIED. I was fucking sobbing. Thanks Sarah! THANKS GIRL. Once again making me care for the secondary ships and then destroy the shit out of them.

9.

Ruhn drifted, quiet and calm. When was the last time anyone had told him a story to lull him to sleep?

This quote that just SCREAMS lost innocence. GODS.

Ps: Ruhn is my favourite fucking character, and I want the head of the bartard he has for a father on a fucking spike for all the shit my baby had to go through.

10.

Ithan’s mouth dried out. What would he even say to Connor? I love you would likely be the first. I miss you every minute of every damn day would be the second.

Somebody just give Ithan a fucking hug. His grief and guilt messed me the fuck up throughout the book. Also the accuracy of this quote just had me sobbing at 4 in the morning. FUCK.

11.

But a Fae Queen had loved a demon prince. And he had loved her enough to …

To lose a fucking war because of she died. AND THUS I STARTED CARING FOR AIDAS AND THEIA AS WELL. FUCK. ME.

And here comes the good stuff.....

12.

Baxian peeled back the collar of his battle-suit, revealing brown, muscled flesh. And a tattoo scrawled over the angel’s heart in familiar handwriting.

Through love, all is possible.

She knew that handwriting. “Why,” she asked carefully, voice shaking, “do you have Danika’s handwriting tattooed on you?”

Baxian’s dark eyes became pained. Empty. “Because Danika was my mate.”

I SCREAMED. I SOBBED. I THREW MY PHONE TO THE FUCKING WALL.

MY FUCKING SOUL WAS RIPPED TO FUCKING PIECES.

GODDDDS!

I actually feel like I manifested this ship, because I was like...HUH He's a shady motherfucker, he and Danika would be lit together...such a shame. AND THEN THIS FUCKING CHAPETR CAME AND I. FUCKING. DIED.

I can't even describe how much I ship this. The fact that its canon is the joy of my life and the fact that she is fucking dead is the bane of my existence.

13.

Baxian:

“I loved her. More than anything.”

Me:

OH GOD PLEASE NOOOO

14.

Danika’s mate still loved her.

SOMEBODY PLEASE STOP THIS TORTURE FOR FUCK'S SAKE

15.

“You return to me.”

“I return to you.” He spoke in a voice that was and wasn’t his own. Some small part of him screamed.

THARION BABY NOOOOOO

16.

“You fear him.” Something primal stirred in Ruhn.

“Yes. His wrath is terrible. I’ve seen what he does to enemies. I wouldn’t wish it upon anyone.”

“Can’t you leave him?”

She laughed, harsh and hollow. “No. My fate is bound to his.”

“Your fate is bound to mine.” The words echoed into the darkness.

AND THUS MY SHIP SAILED AND TOOK MY FUCKING HEART WITH IT

17.

“I’m going to find you,” he said against her burning hair. “I’ll find you one day, I promise.”

When I tell you this is my favourite ship in the series I fucking mean it.

18.

His love transformed her back into a witch, melting away all that she’d become. They dwelled in peace in the forest for the rest of their immortal lives.

The whole story ruined me, but the end....oooh the end left me sobbing.

19.

He was fairly certain his soul lay in splinters around them.

Mine too Ruhn baby...mine too.

20.

But … I know how it feels to wake up one day and wonder how you got so far from that carefree person you were.

This broke me because I can relate to my fucking core. I kinda think that all of us can actually. So yeah...cheers to that 🍻

21.

Tharion knew that tone. Knew that look. And it was then that he understood.

Cormac hadn’t just gone rogue. He’d never intended to get out of here alive.

Which makes the whole conversation with Ruhn ALL THE MORE HEARTBREAKING.

At least he is with Sofie now ....

22.

He dove deep, into the place where he’d always run to avoid his father’s ministrations.

SOMEBODY KILL THE FUCKING KING OF AUTUMN RIGHT FUCKING NOW. I MEAN IT.

23.

His ally was his enemy. His enemy was his lover.

And I will go down with thiiis ship...

24.

Lidia had so much blood on her hands that there would never be any washing it away.

I only had her for half a book but if anybody touches her I will riot.

25.

Ruhn looked at his sister and said softly, “You brought so much joy into my life, Bryce.”

And there goes what was left of my fucking heart.

26.

“I love you. I wish I’d said it more. But I love you, Quinlan, and …” His throat closed up, his eyes stinging. His lips brushed her brow. “Our love is stronger than time, greater than any distance. Our love spans across stars and worlds. I will find you again. I promise.”

DEAD. GONE. IN FUCKING PIECES.

AND THUS ALL MY DAMN SHIPS SUNK AND WENT TO FUCKING HEL. THANKS SARAH. SEE YOU IN A YEAR.

Bonus:

Accurate image of me after hosab:

Aelin: *yeets herself across realms*

Rhys: Guys I saw this strange girl fall from the sky—

Everyone: LOL sure Rhys

Bryce: *Literally falls from the sky*

Rhys:

“Don't waste your time obsessing over the dumb attitudes of dumb people.”

The Deal - Elle Kennedy

The Inner Circle as parents... yeah don’t touch me

These are my personal headcanons + ships so if you don’t agree that’s fine 👩‍💻🤓

Rhys and Feyre

weirdly enough I think they’d stop at two kids???

for some reason I can’t imagine them having like a huuuuge family

maybe 3 kids max

their second child is definitely a girl

and rhys becomes even more insufferable with his overprotective mother hen behaviour because guys... rhys had a sister once and—- imma need to stop 🥺

nyx as an older brother though??? that’s just pure gold

I can totally see him teasing his sister and being a prankster like his uncle cassian but deep down he’s feysand’s son... so he’s territorial af

if someone even looks at his sister the wrong way, they’d better run

imagine having the most powerful high lord and his son as your bodyguards... yeah, nobody stands a chance

feyre is just like “whatever, she’d rip their heads off before you two even get to say hello”

rhys and feyre are so proud of their little family

their daughter can definitely kick her brother’s ass by 20

and nyx wouldn’t have it any other way

Cassian + Nesta

cassian has girl dad energy

and I won’t accept any criticism on that

so their first born is obviously a girl and cassian is... well, he’s a goddamn mess

he’s never held anyone so tiny in his arms ever

“love, she’s not that tiny. you’re just... huge”

cassian falls in love with their daughter the second he learns nesta is pregnant

he rests his hand on her swollen stomach at every chance he gets

and when the baby starts kicking he loses it, so mesmerised by it

and if you think rhys’s overprotectiveness is over the line... well

cassian is so, so much worse

nesta wants to kill him everyday for it but deep down it turns her on ngl

pregnant sex. a lot of it.

I can totally picture them having three kids in total... all girls

cassian jokes that he has an army of valkyries at home

but just imagine how powerful their daughters would be. their dad is the most skilled general in history and their mom is death herself.

no one messes with them, that’s for sure

his girls couldn’t be more deadly yet all of them are pure rays of sunshine for him

Azriel + Gwyn

az is the last one of the three brothers to become a dad, but he doesn’t mind

babysitting his nieces and nephews is tiring enough

so when gwyn breaks the news to him... he cries

azriel bawls his eyes out for days

he couldn’t be happier

but, as expected, he becomes an insufferable overprotective prick just like his brothers

gwyn goes to nesta and feyre “how did you manage to not kill your mates during pregnancy? cause it’s been two days since I told him and I’m already plotting”

all jokes aside, it makes her heart tingle that someone cares that much for her

az talks to the baby a lot while they’re in the womb

a lot of belly kisses too

he can’t physically wait to be a dad

in the end they have three boys, and just when they thought that was all... gwyn gets pregnant again

and it’s a girl

az cries harder than he’s ever done because he’s having a little girl... a little mini gwyn

his heart can’t take it

all her older brothers are super protective of their daughter, even though she’s a valkyrie herself and could take anyone down with a single kick

Elain + Lucien

I can see them taking the longest to become parents because of the whole “I have to figure out the mating bond thing” stuff

but they do eventually sort things out and Elain gives them a chance

and boy... she should’ve done it sooner

lucien treats her like a true princess

and when she gets pregnant, she’s a bit shocked at first, but overall really happy

lucien is over the moon

they first have a little girl with fiery red hair and soft features like elain

she loves running around in the garden and having her dad chase after her

lucien would pick her up easily and blow raspberries on her little neck every time, making her scream with laughter

elain feels so full of love watching her mate and their daughter play together

lucien never knew he’d have this big of a soft spot for children, but he absolutely adores being a dad

give their children the love he never received

and they can’t stop

I feel like they’d have a lot of kids

like, definitely around 7

I just think both of them are totally thrilled to become parents and they just can’t help themselves

elain definitely teaches all of them how to cook and bake and lucien is big on the training side

I can imagine them living a very peaceful and fulfilling life in a house full of (kinda chaotic) children

Amren + Varian

I can totally picture them seeing all their family’s kids and being like... no thanks

I don’t think they’d want to become parents, at least not for a long time

they’re more than happy to be the cool(est) aunt and uncle and spoiling all their nieces and nephews

also teaching them everything their parents don’t want them to know

amren is definitely set to piss off cassian and nesta the most

but just because she loves them and “your girls need to know everything” “amren I’ll fucking end you” “try me bitch”

and they don’t even like children that much so... why bother

if they do end up having a family of their own though, I think it would be very down the line and they’d stop at one kid

nonetheless they’re so damn happy they don’t have to change diapers, clean vomit stains and chase flying Illyrian babies around

yeah... they made the right choice

Mor + Emerie

coolest aunts energy

although amren disagrees because she’s the coolest aunt, duh

they definitely want to adopt a baby together, but they’re waiting for the right time

in the meantime they’re more than happy to babysit their family’s little devils

but when the time comes, they adopt the littlest Illyrian boy they’ve ever seen

he’s so small and cute and smart and ugh, they’ve wanted their own little family for so long

they’d totally adopt more babies over the years

I think they’d stop at around baby 3 or 4, two boys and two girls

can you imagine how powerful those babies would be?? how deadly??

mor is so here for it

emerie is definitely the worrying 24/7 mom, but mor’s steady presence calms her nerves every time

Friendly reminder that this is the first thing Lidia says to Hunt after showing up in Lunathion:

I mean Ruhn gives her a bevy of context clues the night before (that he has a sister and a cruel, powerful, and crafty father, plus that he’s in the city), and she’s an interrogation expert and a spy.

Homegirl knows exactly who Agent Night is pretty early on.

honestly i’ve stopped caring if media is good. all that matters is that Me, The Most Important Person, is having a good time.

House of Sky And Breath Theories (contain Spoilers)

sooo i just finished hosab and let me say it was so fucking amazingggg! while reading i got a few new theories about the worlds of crescent city, acotar and throne of glass

DO NOT - AND I MEAN IT - DO NOT READ IT IF YOU DON´T WANT TO SEE/READ ABOUT THE SPOILERS!!!!

Amren is the 7th lost Asteri sister - They say that the Prince of the Pit swallowed the 7th Asteri, Sirius, whole, but what if he didn't? Perhaps she didn't like what the Asteri stood for, and the swallowing was a method of dragging her into Prythian - "No one has spoken that language in this world for fifteen thousand years" is quoted by Amren when Bryce first speaks to her in HOSAB...interesting that the 7th Asteri sister was swallowed by the prince of pit 15,000 years ago - to me the timelines match up - I know Amren doesn't feed on first light, but she does drink blood...something of power in itself, taken unwillingly - She is said to be a powerful creature of unknown origins, but that doesn't mean that she isn't Asteri. They have chosen angel like bodies but that's not to say they true form is any different to what Amren was before she chose to be put in a fae body -> Could be grasping for straws here but it feels RIGHT

Ruhn looks like Rhys - are they related? - are Rhy's ancestors part of the original fae that went to Lunathion? After all, Theia and "her people were already in Lunathion" when the Asteri arrived (see next bullet to explore this) -> Funny how we don't know Rhys' last name. Could it possibly be... DANAAN?

Bryce and Ruhn's ancestors came from Prythian and ultimately, to the original world of the Fae - Rigelus mentions that Bryce's breed of fae came from a "verdant land, rich and magic". When Bryce lands in Prythian...what type of grass does she land on? "Verdant grass". - Rigelus mentions that Bryce's star of her chest is a "beacon to the world from which the Fae originally came" and that it will lead them back to that world..interesting that Bryce wanted to go to Hel, but ended up in Prythian

Theia came from the lost Dusk court / the Dusk court plays into it somehow -> Danika's project is called Dusk's Truth...coincidence? I think not.

Throne of Glass and Erilea are going to play into this cross over some how - Rigelus mentions that the wolves/shifters are fae but not from where Bryce's type of fae are from...but he does mention that they all came from a different planet where "all the Fae in that world shared their form with an animal" and they perhaps at one stage, "shared a world with [Bryce's breed of Fae" -> I can't keep a certain fae hawk, mountain lion and wolf out of my head - ToG has witches to...perhaps they also went through a rift to Lunathion -> SJM will have us ToG fans beating down her door if she doesn't do a crossover with our fav characters - it's happening and I refuse to believe otherwise

The horn is the fourth trove I´m so fucking sure about it now (had this theorie since the first cc book but now i´m just so sure about it)

Hunt is somehow related to Thurr? - I mean we ALL thought that the underking was Hunts father, but that theory is kind of dead in the water. Guy is an asshole and there was no recognition there - Bryce mentions many times he looks like Thurr, and his powers are similar...how are they connected? Son? Grandson? Timelines are unclear

Rifts are everywhere throughout SJM's books - does a lot of passing happen between worlds more than we are aware? I know Theia and her daughters figured out where all the rifts were in Lunathion, promptly closing them, but that doesn't mean there aren't rifts still open in our other favorite worlds...meaning crossing can happen a lot more easily than we think It would explain a lot of cross-over between linage and missing characters showing up in other SJM series

What do you think about these?

my 100% brutal and honest reaction to house of sky and breath after finishing it:

that book broke my back, cured my ear infection, cleared my skin, gave me more acne, killed me with a heart attack, revived me with lightning, spit in my face, and slapped me on the ass and said "good game"

and i wouldn't have it any other way
