Ok, so what if when Aelin saw Rhys and Feyre it was Starfall and that was why they were standing out there together and looking at the sky and Aelin was one of the spirit things and Rhys didn’t know that it was an actual person and he was just trying to make it last a little longer and that’s why she slowed down?

Type: Lucien Vanserra x Reader.

Fandom: A Court of Thorns and Roses.

Warnings: None, it's just fluff.

Authors Note: I think I've never written something for Lucien and I love him so much so here's something fluff for my baby. It was a request but the person said they didn't want the ask to be addressed, so, I hope they see this :(( I took so long to do BUT IT'S HERE.

"Can I braid your hair?" Y/N said guilty filing her guts.

It was her fault they argued, her fault because she couldn't keep her damn mouth closed. Lucien had nothing to do with her angriness, nothing to do with anything consuming in her life, but still, she'd thrown it at him.

If the gorgeous male fae on the other side of the bedroom was caught by surprise by the sudden request he didn't make it seem. His steps hushed towards you, and he sat down in front of you, letting out a sigh that seemed to be held for centuries.

The house was empty, just the two of them filling it with their angry words, now silent because of the sudden stop. Not a single soul spoke anything while Y/N's fingers traced Lucien's hair first brushing it and then grabbing two little pieces to make a crown of braids.

She wet her lips, trying to find the right words to say, but she hasn't learned how to apologize, not when she was raised to be rude and strong, someone who won't say sorry, and won't accept it either.

When her fingers stopped and grabbed an elastic to hold the braid still he was about to go but then she laced her arms around his neck and put her face on it, inhaling his scent.

"I'm sorry," her voice barely heard. "I didn't want to fight with you, I was mad, Azriel pissed me off on today's training and I just threw it all on you and-"

She almost said it. Love. For a brief minute, she thought it would slip right out of her mouth and confess her killing feelings for him. It was wrong, she was dirty, he was a completely different person who deserved something much better than her.

"It's ok, my love, I shouldn't have pushed you to this. It's not your fault, not completely." Lucien tried to give her a soft smile but it just looked sad. Yes, it made more damage than he was telling.

"No, it's not ok. Listen, I was the one pushing you, I love you and I don't want us to be like this. I promised myself not to do it again, never throw things at you like you don't have feelings. I know it hurt you more than you're letting me see, and I'm really, truly and completely sorry for-" He cut her with his lips.

She breathed hard, getting caught by surprise with the sudden kiss, but then melt in his mouth faster than she should.

His hand was at the side of her face, cupping it, never letting her go when he broke the contact of their lips. "What did you say, love?"

"You didn't let me finish, I was saying that I'm truly-" Another kiss that pissed her off. "Please, this is harder than you think and I'm finally having the courage to-"

"Before all the things I don't need to hear because of course I forgive you, you said something. What was it?" His bright smile made her blush.

She didn't know what he was talking about, didn't even remember all the things she said, it was in a hush. But then, then it came to her realization that she said the words she didn't mean to. Didn't mean to throw in a moment like this. A sigh left her lips before she hide her face between her hands.

"I told you I love you," she didn't want to see the disgust on his face, not when she knew he wouldn't want to be loved by someone like her.

"Good God, I'd burn this world for you," then a follow of your name. "Now, I'm going to kiss you, and you're going to say it again and again. I've waited so many years to hear this from you."

He took her hands out of her face and kissed her rough and sweet if it's possible. But, actually, everything is possible to Lucien Vanserra.

Quotes that made me scream:

“According to our oldest legends, most now forgotten, we were created by being souvenir gods—and monsters. The Daglan. They ruled for millennia enslaved us and humans. They were petty and cruel and drink the magic of the land like wine.” -ACOSF ch55

“— our initial attempt at revenge was foiled by your ancestor who also bore that star on her chest. The Fae has still not a tone for the desk of our brothers and sisters. Their homeworld was rich in magic. I crave more of it.” —Rigelus, HOSAB ch 76

“Your ancestors wielded the horn and another day object that allowed them to enter this world. Stolen, of course, from the original Masters are people. Our people, who built their some warriors in that world to be their army. All of them prototypes for the angels and this one. And all of them traitors to their creators, joining the Fae to overthrow my brothers and sisters 1000 years before we arrived on mid guard. They slew my siblings.” —Rigelus HOSAB

“ not your kind of Fae, of course—your breed dwelled in a lovely, verdant land, rich with magic. If it’s of any interest to you, your star born bloodline specifically hailed from the small isle a few miles from the mainland. And while the mainland had all manner of climbs, the isle existed in a beautiful near permanent twilight.” —HOSAB ch 73

This is definitely talking about the Prison and all the theories about it being the dusk court? SJM is setting things up.

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

HOSAB x ACOSF - Amren & Fury

The comment that Amren and Fury have a very similar look - has me thinking about the possible connection between these two characters. I suspect it might be a seed SJM planted to connect their origin story.

First Amren....

We know that Amren is a being from another world. Her species was created by young gods - and they served as the soldiers for these young (and vengeful) gods. When Amren revealed her true form at the end of the ACOTAR trilogy - she is described as a firey-being with wings. This description is similar to an "Old Testament" Angel. The insanely powerful and wrathful archangels that rain down sulfur and brimstone - and wipe out entire civilizations.

We know from CC2 that the Asteri created the angels...and that they went through several prototypes of powerful "winged warriors" before getting to the angels that we have in Crescent City today.

I speculate that Amren (and her brothers and sisters), were one of the angel prototype species that were created by the Asteri, when they ruled over another planet in the universe. They were likely a prototype to the powerful archangels that rule over Crescent City, today.

I also thought it was telling, when the IC first saw Bryce at the townhouse...and Amren (Amren!?!?) jumped out of her skin. This is really out of character for her. Amren is unflappable. She's old as Hel....she's seen it all. There is no reason why she should be startled by an unknown Fae Female (even if covered in blood), while the rest of the IC's reaction remains pretty chill.

I think Amren reacted the way she did because she scented the blood - and immediately recognized it as Angel Blood. A blood type that likely smells very similar to that of her own kind. It would be a shock to smell a blood type of a species that by all accounts doesn't exist in your world...and one you hadn't scented for over 15,000 years.

Now, Fury....

We know that Fury does work for the Asteri, but that she's also an Independent Agent. The Asteri don't really seem to be in full control of Fury. This means she's either got leverage on them or enough power that she scares them a bit.

TBH...I think it's a mix of both.

Fury's power is currently unknown. But the way it's referenced is very similar to that of Amren. While people don't know exactly what she is - they do know she's super powerful. It's also a level of power that makes other super-powerful characters wary enough of her.

I think it's possible that Fury is the same species/comes from the same origin world as Amren. She is one of these original "Old Testament" angels, that was created as a "warrior" for the Asteri. And similar to her "sister" Amren she fell through a portal into the world of CC - where she coincidentally bound herself in a very similar looking humanoid form so that she could function and operate within the social constructs of this new world.

I suspect that the Asteri and Fury both know what each other are.

Fury is well aware that the Asteri are the same deities/creator-gods/masters of her homeworld. This is likely why she works for them. There may still be a part of her that feels that is her duty. She was created to be their vengeful warrior.

However, this is also what gives Fury leverage on the Asteri in CC. She is one of the few people who knows what they are and what they're doing to the citizens of this world.

As for Fury's power....Amren, when released had enough power to wipe out whole armies. If provoked, I think Fury could cause permanent harm to the Asteri, likely even killing 1-2 of them, before they were able to put her down. I think the Asteri created this "Old Testament" Angel species with a dangerous amount of power - never thinking that they might turn that power against their creators.

I also like the idea of Fury having the fiery power of an "Old Testament" Angel - because of her promise to one day burn down the meat market, for June.

Feyre my painting queen getting described as "lovely" by Bryce and everyone looking to her and Rhys for a cue because of their QUIET, GENTLE AUTHORITY 😭😭😭 im so excited to see them being bad bitches in the next cc

HOSAB SPOILERS

I’ve just finished CC2 and I have so many theories I need to get off my chest.

1 - I think the Asteri are the same species as the gods are in the ToG world. The ToG gods mentioned being trapped in the ToG world and wanted to find a way back to their home world which I tick is Midgard (CC world) and that the Asteri and the gods were all part of that plot to find food (??) but got trapped when the northern rift closed.

I don’t think they are Valg as the firstlight feeding thing doesn’t match what we learned about them in ToG.

Aelin didn’t send the gods back to their homeworld but instread trapped them in a hellscape where they were destroyed, which i think is Hel and they wee killed by the princes of Hel.

2-I hope we get to see the ToG characters again (even if its a little cameo). We now know that the shifters are descendants from the same Fae that Rowan and Aelin are and I think the witches are from that world too, from back in CC1 when they mentioned worshipping a three faced goddess like the watched in ToG.

3 - I think Queen Theia is the High Queen of Prynthia that was mentioned in ACOSF and she took Gwydion and Truth-Teller with her to Midgard. She had two daughters one of which is Ruhn’s ancestor who kept the Starsword (Gwydion) in Midguard which was thought lost in ACOTAR world. Theia’s other daughter went missing, I think she travelled back to Prynthia with Truth-Teller and either she herself or one of her descendants married a High Lord of the Night Court which is why Ruhn and Rhys look so similar. Truth-Teller could if been passed through the family line until Rhys or his father gave it to Azriel.

I have a few more theories about Bryce’s tattoo being written in Wyrdmarks and maybe the holy language Amren mentioned could be what her world called Wyrdmarks

I’m just wondering about everyone else’s theories .
