Cardan, book 1: I think of you. Often. It's disgusting and I can't stop. Now kill me, please.
Cardan, book 3: It is YOU I love. My heart is a shabby, worm-eaten, and scabrous thing. But it is yours. *runs out of the room*
Ruhn offering Bryce the starsword even though it's the one thing he's ever had to be proud of, because he loves her more then anything else
And Bryce refusing to take it because she loves him so much and would never want to take anything away from him
Delia Owens, Where the Crawdads Sing
the score by elle kennedy
You’re lucky I love you, babe. If any other girl had done this to me—” “You love me?” I blurt out.
here’s what acosf mentioned:
and heres what KOA said as aelin fell thru worlds...
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
Dusk Court:
- Confirmation the legendary 8th court did exist and that it's likely the prison island. The pegasus originally hailed from this island. Therefore Bryce’s fan-girl fascination with Pegasus toys is a homage to the land of her ancestors.
Legends of the Fae:
- Theia was the Dusk Court’s Ruler. She became High Queen of the Fae when she wed the last High King, Fionn.
- At some point, Theia and Pelias (who was the High King's general) decided to betray (...or leave) Fionn.
- They stole Fionn's cache of weapons (the starborn sword, truth-teller, the horn, the harp, etc.). THen Theia, Pelias, and Theia's 2 daughters ran off to another world - using the horn and the harp to open the gatway. This world was CC. Theia and gang quickly figured out who the Asteri were - their old masters: The Daglan.
- Theia decides to join forces with the armies of Hel to destroy the Asteri. This is likely how Theia and Adias meet... and then fall in love.
- Pelais (who likely didn't like being replaced or demoted) decided to align with the Asteri. He killed Theia on the battlefield and then crowned himself prince by forcing the eldest Starborn daughter Helena to marry him.
- Jesibia's comment to Adias about “don't fuck us over this time” likely means that after Theia died, Adias and his brothers decided to take their armies back to Hel and leave Pelais and the Fae (as well as the rest of the people of CC) to fend for themselves against the Asteri. Obviously, that didn't end well. The people of CC are still fighting some version of this battle to this day.
- Helena was forced to marry Pelias against her will. Helena and her younger sister likely came-up with the plot to save the Fae from Asteri domination in both words.
- I think the "plan" was that Helena would remain in CC partly as a decoy, but also to use the horn to help close the gates into CC. Meanwhile, her younger sister sneaks off (into the night)....using the harp she travels back to their ACOTAR homeworld. Helena kept the Starsword and The Horn, but her sister got the dagger (truthteller) The Harp....and both travel back with her to the Dusk Court.
- The images Nesta saw when touching the Harp, are of the Fae in CC. They are trying to get back thru the gate into their ACOTAR homeworld – but there wasn’t enough time for everyone to make it through. Likely the Asteri were closing in. Thus the sisters used the horn and/or harp to close the access point. Some of the Fae were in fact trapped in the walls when this happened. Perhaps, this is the magical act that caused the island to die.
- Helena’s sister went on to close all the access points in the ACOTAR world. In Prythian the access points are likely the three mountains - The Middle, The Prison, and Ramiel. There may be others on the continent - maybe Koschei's lake? With the access points closed, Helena's sister had no way to return to CC. She lived in Prythian for the rest of her life.
- Given the resemblance that Ruhn and Rhys share....Theia's younger daughter likely became (through marriage) apart of the Night Court - and is Rhy's ancestor.
- Ruhn is a descendant of Helena. Rhys is a descendant of her younger sister. This is why they look alike.
- Theia's family name is Starborn. Helena’s last name was also Starborn – this is why in CC they’re known as "Starborn Fae".
- Rhy’s family name is Starborn!!! (It was passed on from the un-named sister.)

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?
