- Lidia and Rhun mate material
- i really though Day might be Celestina or Hypaxia first but I am so happy with Lidia
- I can’t wait for the enemies to lovers vibes between them in CC3, especially since she is the only one at the moment who can help Rhun and Hunt
- the ending… not gonna lie I was calling it after Kingdom of Ash that SJM would do a crossover, because why the hell not, she has established it since day 1
- I am so so so excited to see Bryce in Prythian
- I think Rhys will tesch her mind reading
- she might even visit the dusk court, since they are her ancestors
- Amren looks like Fury!!? Are they the same beings?!
- I wondered if Fury and/or Amren might be Thunderbirds or Asteri or maybe something different
- I still need to find out who Hunt‘s dad is, especially after it got said that he was breed to kill Demons and the bloodhound mentioned he didn’t smell like normal angels
- any guesses? Maybe an Asteri or a demon prince?
- SJM really bailed me with Aidas, he was barely in the book
- I really think we will see Beyce master world jumping since she basically is the horn, I don’t think she will need a portal in the future
- if the horn really is the 4th trove from acotar it’s super powerful and she could definitely pull off becoming a world jumper lol
- I‘m still not sold if the demon princes are all going to help Bryce some of them seem sus (Not you Aidas)
- I am really glad that Hunt and Bryce are mates, they deserve it and they had so many cute moments
- I really like Celestina as a character, I hope she will become more important
- shifters definitely are from Aelin‘s world
- and WHERE is my queen Aelin Ashryver Whitethorn Galathynius?! She better be in CC3
- and the Avallan fae are probably from the night court and the starborn fae from the dusk court?! There sre probably fae that travelled from the other courts too (autumn king and his fire powers)
- my head is empty at the moment maybe I‘ll do a part 2 later, what are your thoughts?

I'm calling it right now, Flynn and Ari are mates. FIGHT ME
I MEAN LOOK AT THIS SHIT
sometimes i lie awake at night and consider the absolute chaos that would be fenrys moonbeam and ithan holstrom meeting
- as another tumblr user has already pointed out: Hunt‘s last line is really concerning, it was something like „and then Hunt knew nothing“ plus the Asteri told him Hunt wouldn’t need the slave crown so the only thing I can imagine is Hunt getting his memories wiped and when Bryce comes back she sees him fighting for the Asteri and I don’t think my heart can take this
- it will be great for the Quinlar tension though not gonna lie
- I don’t know if this has already been pointed out but I think the Angels might have been created by the Asteri. They are their loyal servants and they should keep the other Vanir in check
- ok so I love the gang BUT I have to say that they sometimes acted super stupid like thinking Madoc wouldn’t smell them, or going to that rebel island and showing everyone their faces or going to the Asteri archives and NOT getting suspicious when there is literally NO guard, no one….
- ok so do you think Prythian gang will know about queen Theia? And I also kind of want Bryce to meet the Autumn court just to say something snarky
- so Truth Teller is the second sword, which is really cool and interesting
- because I think Bryce will take both swords back to her world and after she finished whatever she has to do with them she will take Truth Teller back to Azriel and that would be the PERFECT start for Azriel‘s POV book
- soooo I think CC3 will be the next book we are getting and ACOTAR5 will be later, everything else would be confusing, so you could still read Acotar without having to read CC
- I‘m really not sold about the motives the demon princes have, I think Aidas truly loved Theia and would do everything to help Bryce but what about the others? Didn’t Apollion say Bryce and Hunt are his final end bosses? Does he want to invade CC?
- because why would SJM include Ari the dragon when she can kill demons and not angels or Asteri with her fire?
- plus I like it that magical fire is a universal way to kill demons (Queen Aelin did it first)
- I also think Bryce hasn’t accessed her full potential. She said so herself that she can feel her power source but can’t reach it so we still have to get a full power up of her!!!
- I really want to know more about thunderbirds because why would SJM include them when it’s a dead end anyways? There has to be more about it since Bryce and Hunt basically BOTH have the thunderbird ability to suck in energy and reuse it
- I wonder if it was just foreshadowing to that being the ultimate power one would need to destroy the Asteri since they killed all Thunderbirds OR
- if one of the characters we know has Thunderbird blood in them
- I said it before and I say it again, if I don’t get my girl Aelin in a CC book I will riot!
- ok so I had another thought and question, how do we define the different worlds?! Are they different dimensions/universes (I think that’s what they told us in TOG) or are they just different planets? In CC both terms got used
- I really really like Baxian, I will protect him and I hope he gets the love and affection he deserves
- sooo Ithan and the Fendyr Alpha, huh?
- since she is a mysthic I am positive that she will help guide Bryce through the worlds at one point
- I still know nothing about Jesiba, I wanna know so bad who or what she really is and why she keeps helping Bryce
- I sometimes wondered if the Viper Queen might be a Valg? Since she could control Tharion and it gave me major Dorian flashbacks
- Tharion… boy I love you but what went through your brain when you offered yourself to the viper queen?!
- So does ANYONE know how many books will be in the CC series? Because I feel like 3 books isn‘t really a lot time to overthrow a whole government of Asteri, even if Hel should help (and I think that not all of the Hel princes would simply help Bryce and then return happily to their world)
- I still think about the orcale and Rhun a lot, why would the royal bloodline end with him?! If Bryce should become queen (which I actually don’t think will happen) the royal bloodline didn’t end
- so I think ultimately CC will establish some kind of democratic government, I don’t see how kings and queens would fit in there without the Asteri tbh
- Cormac dying was kind of sad since I felt like he had a lot of potential
- do you think we will see the Avallen territory? It’s kind of still a mystery and I feel like they might hide something
- ok so that’s it for now lol
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.
(You're welcome😘)
Chapters: 22 24 28 31 33 36 42 47 53 57 60 61 67 68 75
Here are some theories from house of sky and breath and acotar. So spoilers for that
-Hunts father is either a thunderbird or a prince of hel
-Rhysands last name is actually Daanan
-The fae shifters come from Aelins world
- The starborn fae originate from the dusk court, the dusk court being the prison in acotar
-The people who where turned to stone in the prison where turned to stone by the asteri during the war between the asteri and the fae
-The horn is the 4th object in the death trove
- Theia was either the queen to the high lord of the prythian or the high Lady of the dusk court (prince pelias is the general in both of these theories)
-There are more then 7 asteri and we know them by different names in different books for example the valg kings sound a lot like the asteri
-Amren is one of the asteri, she is often described as a monster confined to a body similar to the asteri she could also maybe be a Thunderbird
-The asteri killed Sirius because she started to see the wrong in her actions
-Sirius fell in love with a starborn fae (one that was fighting against the asteri) and they had a kid and that's how Thunderbirds became a thing
-The wolf in the tank (one of the mysics) is Ithans mate
After the end of House of Sky and Breath and learning about the Asteri's breeding programs (sidenote: ick), I started wondering what the implications would be for the mating bond, both in Crescent City and in ACOTAR.
Specifically: is the mating bond something that the Asteri bred into the Fae in order to make them magically stronger? Has it been romanticized to help the Fae cope with the darker aspects of their history. Though the Under-King is talking about the afterlife, I kept thinking about this comment he makes to Bryce and Hunt: "The rituals were all invented by you. Your ancestors. To endure the horror of the offering" (HOSAB, 336). Is this what we're seeing with the mating bond?
There are signs that it's possible. In ACOWAR, Rhys tells Feyre, "And sometimes, yes -- the bond picks poorly. Sometimes, the bond is nothing more than some...preordained guesswork at who will provide the strongest offspring. At its basest level, it's perhaps only that. Some natural function, not an indication of true, paired souls" (ACOWAR, 258)
Keep in mind that Rhys is talking to his beloved mate at this point, so he's inclined to believe that, even if all mating bonds aren't great, his is a perfect one. For anyone who feels they have found their soulmate, this is a familiar feeling: while you feel as if you have chosen this incredible person, there's also a part of you that believes you were made for each other. If things had gone differently, if I hadn't met them on exactly that day or in that location, you tell yourself, we would have found our way to each other. SJM makes the "fate" part literal with the mating bonds.
But if we remove Rhys' comments from their context, the mating bond becomes something sinister, a way of arranging for powerful magic. And since the Daglan/Asteri feed on magic (HOSAB, 784), they could have simply and horribly been trying to breed the Fae into more satisfying meals.
Speaking personally, I think this is an interesting story about the ways we survive inherited trauma, the ways we seek romance, the ways that we turn biological function into something spiritual, the ways that choice sometimes doesn't feel like enough. I think SJM could write this in an extremely compelling way if she chose to. Still, it calls mating bonds into question, with big implications for ACOTAR in particular. And, looking closer at HOSAB and ACOSF in particular, I think she's trying to do something different with the mating bond.
Let's start by looking at the arc of the relationship between Bryce and Hunt. Bryce starts off disparaging the mating bond, memorably saying: "And at least he’s not some psychotic alphahole who will demand a three-day sex marathon and then call me his mate, lock me in his house, and never let me out again ” (HOEAB, 32). She doesn't romanticize mates at all in HOEAB, and if this continued in HOSAB, I would have thought that this was ultimately the direction that SJM has chosen to go in.
Instead, we see Bryce and Hunt choosing to be mates and then, as their relationship grows and deepens, they become "true mates -- the way the Fae are mates, in [their] bodies and souls" (HOSAB, 492).
Beyond the beautiful fact that they choose each other before a biological function pulls them together, Bryce and Hunt seem to have a power that, when they wield it together, could bring down the Asteri. They are incredibly powerful individually, but together? They could remake their world.
If SJM wanted to, Bryce and Hunt could have fallen in love and had these complementary powers without being mates. They could have been a symbol of a new way of loving for her characters that was purely based on choice. Instead, choice and fate and biology all bring these two together. Bryce, who is skeptical of the mating bond, becomes enthusiastic when she decides on this relationship with Hunt, freely referring to him as her mate throughout HOSAB.
We also see her use similar language between the way the mating bond feels to Bryce and Hunt, to the way that Azriel experiences Gwyn's presence (see: the Bryce and Azriel bonus chapters in HOSAB and ACOSF, respectively). If SJM were pulling away from the mating bond, I don't know that she would be introducing such a possibility, and certainly not in such romantic terms.
If the mating bond were a symbol of oppression, we likely wouldn't see her introduce Danika's mate, particularly in the romantic context its presented, let alone the romance between Ruhn and Lidia that definitely seems like a mating bond based on everything we've seen before. Instead, these mating bonds actually strengthen the characters' resistance to the Asteri, creating a stronger possibility of a better world.
After all, love and community are poor tools for any authoritarian. It's why we see dictators vilify certain people groups. People are much easier to rule when they're separated, and a strong bond that makes mates sacrifice and choose each other doesn't seem to play into the Asteri's hands. Love simply could not be bred out of the Fae.
In the end, I think that, as messy as they are, the idea that the Mother/Urd gives these mating bonds, and the Asteri simply couldn't remove it, is going to be a through-line that not only leads to the incredible romance and thrilling twists we love so much, but freedom for our favorite characters in Midgard and Prythian.

Chapter 24
How did you find my mind? I don’t have the crystal.
I have no idea what happened to you. Or how I found your mind. I simply felt … I don’t know what I felt, but the bridge was suddenly there. I think you’re in grave danger, wherever you are.
Chapter 67
“Your fate is bound to mine.” The words echoed into the darkness.
he had no fucking idea how it was even possible, but he was still hard, still going, and he needed more and more and more of her—
Chapter 75
Something lethal snapped free at that hand on her neck. The way it squeezed, and the slight glimmer of pain in Lidia’s eyes—
Ruhn bared his teeth in a silent snarl. He’d kill him. Slowly and thoroughly, punishing him for every touch, every hand he’d put on Lidia in pain and torment.
me:
That’s all. And I'm a mess after HOSAB. 👁💧👄💧👁
Flynn and Ariadne giving me Nessian vibes
Nessian
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.
Oops
I hate the asteri for many reasons but the fact that they ruined the perfect and hilarious scene in which ithan held aidas in his lap and petted him is by far the biggest
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
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
First read freak out
*heavy spoilers*
Ruhn&Lidia obvious mate stuff right there
Day/Lidia stuff? Called it from the moment she stepped foot inside that bar and he described her as the most beautiful woman blablabla
Ruhn's form was Rhys-like
"Day's" was Aelin-like
Not in a weird way tho, didn't feel like Rhys and Aelin, just the presentation of powers had similarities
Viper Queen might be Valg, or something close to it
Tharion is now blood sworn to that creature, that'll come back to bite his ass
Urd sounds very close to Wyrd
Cthona & Mother & Three Faced Godess???
Luna and Nesta?? The fae queens in TOG???
I need answers, my mind is going everywhere
I SWEAR TO FUCKING GOD AMREN
The way she presented her "true form" in acowar resembles firstlights descriptions
Hunt as a slave again and possibly/probably Ruhn and Baxiam too is a fucking crime
Can't wait to see his full powers unleashed, there's been a lot of buildup
THE FACT THAT THE ASTERI DUMBASS SAID THAT THE STAR ON BRYCE'S CHEST IS A BEACON AND IT TOOK HER RIGHT TO VELARIS MY FUCKING GOD
Rhys looking like Ruhn holy fucking shit that's all the conformation i fucking NEEDED cause I've been picturing them alike
FURY LOOKS LIKE AMREN WHAT THE FUCK i don't know which of them that explains better but it makes perfect sense
I look forward to finding out EXACTLY how Amren relates to the Asteri because holy fucking shit HER DESCRIPTIONS OF HER LIFE BEFORE AND THE WAY THE ASTERI GO AROUND AND THE VALG KINGS holy shit are they the masters/king idfk she mentioned?! Are the Asteri Valg? HOLY HEL
I'm freaking out; i screamed the moment Az showed up and haven't calmed dow yet
TRUTH TELLER AND STARSWORD AAAAAAH I THOUGHT I WAS FUCKING CRAZY WHEN I SAW THE COLOR SIMILARITY I THOUGHT THE OTHER KNIFE WOULD BE SOMEWHERE ELSE holy fucking shit the fucking Horn MY GOD THE STARSWORD IS LITERALLY GWYDION FUUUUUUUCK
Bryce and Nesta teaming up oh gods the stars they both bear
AZ TAKING BRYCE TO THE TOWN FUCKING HOUSE SMELLING LIKE FLOWERS AND BREAD?!?!?!?! HELLO??????!!!!doesn't confirm stuff but still
I need to sleep
It makes perfect sense to set cross world enemies as an excuse to make the characters themselves cross said worlds
Are Erawan's siblings coming to play? Is this what's going to bring TOG into it? Being a world that successfully banished/killed Valg?
I get it now why she hasn't said much about the next acotar book
I swear to god, this wait will be the death of me
Now I'm wondering where the hell Sarah's going to continue this on; is the next acotar going to continue this arc? Are we waiting for the next cc? A Tower of Down type book? IS AELIN COMING TO THE FUCKING PARTY?
Edit: ok sjm said cc3 is coming before acotar5 and i dont know what to think, i need them both and can't function this is going to be a long ass wait
I DONT ECEB KNOW WHAT TO SAY
SARAHHHH
WHAT A FUCKING CLIFFHANGER I HAVE SO MANY QUESTIONS:
IF RHYS LOOKS LIKE RUHN DOES BRYCE LOOK LIKE RHYS LITTLE SISTER????
IS AMREN LIKE FURY?????
IS THE LAND THE SHIFTERS CAME FROM THE TOG WORLD AND DOES THAT MEAN THE ASTARI ARE VALG?????
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
"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
"I was hoping to find a way to spend my life with her."
Second of all...FUCK YOU
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:🤡
"“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.
“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.
“They’re not worth my anger. I have to keep remembering that.”
Life lessons from Juniper everybody. You tell them girl, you tell them.
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
“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.
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.
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.
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.....
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.
Baxian:
“I loved her. More than anything.”
Me:
OH GOD PLEASE NOOOO
Danika’s mate still loved her.
SOMEBODY PLEASE STOP THIS TORTURE FOR FUCK'S SAKE
“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
“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
“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.
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.
He was fairly certain his soul lay in splinters around them.
Mine too Ruhn baby...mine too.
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 🍻
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 ....
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.
His ally was his enemy. His enemy was his lover.
And I will go down with thiiis ship...
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.
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.
“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.
Accurate image of me after hosab:
Lidia Cervos deserves the world and I will not elaborate
Actually, yes I will
(Huge spoilers ahead. Don’t read until you’ve finished HOSAB. Also, there are spoilers in the tags)
When Lidia was still Day and I read this, two things happened. First, the thought that Day = Lidia crossed my mind because of her thing with Pollux. And two, assuming that she was indeed Lidia, my heart fucking shattered because it meant that the poor woman had been putting up with a disgusting asswhole for the sake of learning information and passing it along for the greater good. And I was right.
This is just so fucking sad. Lidia had to picture Ruhn every time she slept with Pollux because she had no other way to endure it. Yes, their sex was consensual, but to a higher more spiritual level it didn’t feel like it. My heart completely broke for her at this and I’m so happy she’s got someone as caring as Ruhn in her life now. This whole scene was so bittersweet and Ruhn was the most attentive lover.
What Ruhn says here basically confirms what I thought—Lidia put herself through all of that for the bigger cause. I’m convinced that story she told Ruhn about the witch turned monster was in fact about herself. As Day, she kept telling him how she felt authentic with him and how he reminded her that there was good in the world. This is how that story ended:
And lastly, I’m 100% sure we’ll get a scene in the next book with either Lidia or Ruhn (or both) beating the shit out of Pollux like he deserves. That’d be super hot ngl.
I wanted to put this out there because I’m sure we’ll eventually get the usual “but Lidia is evil!1!” comments and I just needed to remind you that Lidia is a victim. Just like Hunt did questionable things when he answered to others, so did Lidia. Y’all aren’t about to vilify women for the same stuff men do, and when they do it they’re just “misunderstood” and they’re considered “hot morally-grey characters”. Not on my watch.
Plus in Sarah’s most recent live, she talked about how she loves writing those morally-grey characters. She says there are good people, like Hunt, who are forced to do terrible things and live with the consequences, but they’re not villains.
I’m confident this is the case with Lidia, so protect her at all costs 🗣🗣🗣
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.
Hey do you know any site/blog where I can get the summaries of Off-campus series? Not the 2-3 para summaries tho.
The legacy comes out tomorrow and I'm really excited about it but I read the series a few years back and I can't recall the stories that well and I really don't feel like reading the entire series just to read the legacy.
You know, I don’t know any blogs with summaries but I can sure as hell write them for you!
The Legacy is supposed to be: Four stories. Four couples. Three years of real life after graduation…A wedding. A proposal. An elopement. And a surprise pregnancy.
Under the cut because spoilers! (I just did the first 4 with main events and facts , but I'll include some background info about where we last saw the characters in the briar u series for context)
The Deal is about Hannah and Garrett. Garrett Graham is the big man on campus and in desperate need of a tutor. Hannah is a music major and is reluctant to help Garrett because between her nightmare of a partner for her duet, and working at the local diner to support herself and help out her family, she doesn’t have time. Garrett eventually convinced her, using the one thing Hannah wants but can’t have: a chance to make Justin Kohl, the transfer student on the football team interested in her.
While Hannah tutors Garrett on philosophy, they both get closer, talking about their lives, including Hannah’s struggle with her duet partner, and Garrett’s total dedication to hockey. They stay up late watching Breaking Bad, Hannah sings for Garrett, and they eventually kiss (to prepare Hannah for her big date with Justin). Hannah also meets Garrett's best friends and roommates: John Logan, (who is interested in Hannah and is destine to play Hockey professionally), Dean Heyward DiLaurentis (who is incapable of hooking up in his own room) and John Tucker (who does all of the cooking in their apartment and hooked up with 3 girls at the same time the past new years).
Before Hannah is scheduled to appear as Garrett’s date at a football party, Justin starts to show interest in her, but Garrett keeps interrupting. Hannah and Garrett go to the party, and Hannah reveals that she doesn't drink in public because of a bad experience in the past. Hannah rescues Garrett from a puck bunny, and they leave the party together, after chatting with Beau Maxwell.
Hannah runs into Justin at a coffee shop, and Justin asks Hannah out on a date. After he retakes the test, Garrett invites Hannah out to celebrate with his hockey friends, giving her a chance to drink in a controlled environment with Garrett as her guard dog. Hannah let’s go and enjoys the night until she runs into her ex-boyfriend. It’s revealed that the relationship broke down at least in part because Hannah has been unable to have an orgasm with anyone since she was raped when she was 15 years old. Garrett returns and Hannah enjoys the rest of the night, until Garrett puts her to bed in his bedroom, and Hannah tries to come on to Garrett.
They wake up together the next morning and Hannah asks Garrett to help her, to see if maybe they can crack why she’s unable to orgasm with a partner. Garrett agrees and is somewhat nervous about the encounter.
Hannah shows up at Garrett’s house that night and Garrett immediately puts her at ease. Hannah hits a wall, they both pleasure themselves, and Hannah is able to orgasm, which is a huge success for her. The next day, Garrett shows up to Hannah's rehearsal and tells her nightmare duet partner to back off. Garrett goes down on her, Hannah has another orgasm. Garrett goes to Hockey practice and comes home to a home cooked meal made by Hannah as a thank you.
The next day (Halloween), Hannah feels bad that Garrett does not go out for Halloween, so she finds him at his house, alone. They sit on the couch, and Garrett confesses to hating halloween because that was when his father started to physically abuse him. Hannah opens up more to Garrett about how being raped at such a young age impacted her life. They agree to rewrite bad memories with good ones and finally have sex.
The next day, Garrett plays a hockey game, which Hannah attends with her friends. As he's leaving, Garrett's father (Hockey Legend and Abuser Phil Graham) tells him that he must come home for Thanksgiving because Phil's girlfriend wants to see him. Logan also informs Garrett that Justin mentioned he's going out with Hannah the next day.
Garrett shows up at Hannah's dorm, upset that she's going out with Justin, when they've been having such a good time together. Hannah reveals she accepted Justin's invitation before she went out with Garrett, and cancels the date. They decide to be boyfriend/girlfriend.
Hannah's parents cannot afford to fly out for thanksgiving, so she goes with Garrett to his dad's house. Garrett notices his father is abusing his girlfriend, and offers her help to get out. Hannah and Garrett leave, and on the ride home they confess that they love each other.
At Garrett's next game, Hannah sees one of the boys who testified against her in her rape trial. Garrett realizes who he is and beats the shit out of him, injuring Logan in the process. The next day, Phil shows up at Hannah's job and tells her to breakup with Garrett, threatening to pull Garrett's tuition and financial support if she does not.
Hannah does so, and Garrett is incredibly upset, claiming Hannah's reasons don't make sense. They finish out the semester apart, Garrett pursuing Hannah, and attending Hannah's final performance (she does a solo with the cellist from her duet partner's song). When they return to campus for the spring semester, Hannah tries to show Garrett she's moved on by going out with someone else, but realizes that Garrett has employed a full-campus ban on dating her.
Hannah storms into the locker room, confronting Garrett, and Garrett reveals that he knew that she would try to date someone and feel guilty about it later. He gets Hannah to admit that Phil threatened her to end things with Garrett. Hannah confesses to everything and Garrett reveals that he gained access to his trust fund over the winter break, so he has cut all ties (financial and otherwise) with his father. They get back together. In the final chapter, Garrett and Hannah celebrate Brair U's Frozen Four Win, and Hannah notices that Garrett's best friend Logan is still interested in her. Garrett also reveals that he finally opened up to his teammates about his father's physical abuse. It's also revealed that Justin is dating one of Hannah's friends.
The Mistake starts with John Logan, who is hopelessly in love with his best friend Garrett's girlfriend Hannah. Logan's been coping with this realization by partying and sleeping his way through Briar's campus. Tucker calls attention to Logan's behavior before a party. Grace Meyers is a freshman at Briar U, whose best friend is obsessed with Dean Heyward-DiLaurentis, Logan's best friend. Grace sees Logan at a party, but they don't interact. The next day, in a ploy to escape Garrett and Hannah, Logan mistakenly ends up at Grace's door, and asks to use her phone. They end up watching Die Hard together and making out. Logan comes, Grace doesn't and he leaves abruptly. Grace tells her friend Ramona what happened, and Ramona insinuates that Logan made it up.
Logan realizes that Grace didn't finish and goes back to make it right.Ramona tells their friend group about Grace and Logan, and for some reason, they don't believe Grace. Later that week, Grace and Logan run into each other at the movie theatre, with Ramona and Dean. Grace and Logan hook up again. While he hasn't been thinking about Hannah, he feels guilty for using Grace to get over his feelings for Hannah. When he plans to break things off, Dean reveals that some of the freshman have been spreading rumors that Grace is making up stories about seeing Logan. Logan interferes, rescuing Grace from the dining hall and they hang out.
Logan goes over to Grace's place to break things off, but waits until Grace reveals that she is a virgin, before explaining that he feels guilty using her when he has feelings for Hannah. Grace is obviously upset and Logan leaves. He finds Hannah in his kitchen, and realizes that what he wanted wasn't Hannah, but rather Garrett and Hannah's relationship. Logan tries to explain to Grace and apologize, but Grace won't respond. At the same time, Ramona tries to get in with Logan, so Logan tells Grace, which ends Grace and Ramona's friendship.
Grace visits her mother in Paris over the summer, while Logan returns to his hometown, where he works at his alcoholic father's garage. Logan made a deal with his brother which means that after graduation, Logan will return to the garage, rather than chasing his professional hockey aspirations. Logan spends the summer trying to get in touch with Grace, while she ignores Logan completely. He tries to move on, but finds that he doesn't want to be with anyone else. Garrett visits Logan and tells him to make the most of his last year of freedom, and Logan intends to make things right with Grace.
When Logan returns to Briar, he runs into Grace and tries to explain what happened. Grace refuses to go out with him. Grace makes friends with her new roommate, Daisy, and joins her by working at the campus radio station. Logan is persistent with Grace, but she again refuses Logan. Grace is asked to a party by Morris, who also works at the radio station, and Logan finds her there and kisses her. Logan goes to Morris’s place and “declares his intentions toward Grace.” They bond over video games and Morris agrees to stand down. When Grace finds out she is livid, and storms into Logan’s house demanding an explanation. Logan says he’ll do anything for a chance with Grace, and Grace gives him a list of things to do to win her back.
With some difficulty, Logan completes the tasks and takes Grace out on a fancy date. That date goes well (despite the fact that Grace reveals she prefers football over Hockey). The next date is at a football party, where Grace meets Sabrina James and Beau Maxwell. At the party, she’s jealous that Logan has been with many women before her, and Logan reassures her completely. Logan and Grace date and hookup, which leads to Logan Skyping with Grace’s mom, Grace learning about Logan’s decision not to pursue professional hockey to care for his father, and Logan jealously interrupting Grace’s study session. Logan cautions Grace about pursuing her friendship with Ramona as well.
On a weekend where Logan’s roommates are out of town, Logan and Grace finally have sex. They are interrupted the next morning by Hannah and Garrett who are escaping a major fight that Hannah’s roommate Allie is having with her boyfriend Sean. The four spend time together and Logan goes to dinner at Grace’s father’s house.
The next week, Grace receives an SOS from Ramona, saying she’s at a party with the visiting Hockey team, and Logan and Grace go to save her. When they’re safely back in the car, Grace realizes she’s in love with Logan. Later, Logan is supposed to pick up Grace from her fathers house, but can’t make it because his father needs help. Logan goes to Grace’s house, only to find that Grace has returned to the dorms and end up breaking down in front of Grace’s dad.
Grace goes to check on Logan the next day, and they fight. Logan apologizes for being late and says he knows Grace will leave him the next year when he’s at home, and Grace is still at Briar. Grace storms out after declaring she loves Logan, and Logan is shocked. He knows it will take a grand gesture to win Grace back, so he goes on Grace’s radio show and confesses his love for Grace.
The next day, Logan is called to an emergency meeting at his father’s house, where his father explains that he’s enrolling himself into rehab for his alcoholism and that Logan can pursue his hockey dreams, starting at a farm team for the Bruins. The epilogue is two years later, at Logan’s first Bruins game, where Grace is talking to Logan’s mother and Hannah.
This books begins with Allie calling Hannah (who is away for the weekend with Garrett, Logan, and Grace), because her ex-boyfriend Sean insists on showing up to their dorm uninvited. Garrett tells Allie to stay at his place for the weekend, and notes that his roommates, Tucker and Dean will be home. Allie shows up at the house while Dean is about to have a threesome and Tucker is out. Dean tells the girls to leave, and hits on Allie relentlessly. Allie reveals that she’s escaping her ex- and they end up watching a movie together. With the help of tequila, one thing leads to another and Allie wakes up in Dean’s bed the next morning. They agree to keep their hookup private, and Allie leaves the house.
Even though Dean does not usually repeat hookups, he pursues Allie relentlessly, calling and texting her after a night out with Tucker and Hunter. Dean meets up with his buddy, Beau Maxwell, who uses a complicated Twilight analogy to explain that Dean only wants Allie now. After a hockey game, Hannah reveals that Allie is at home sulking, so Dean goes to give her company, and attempt to seduce her. They watch a terrible French show together and Dean leaves.
Allie then joins Dean and his friends at Colin Fitzgerald’s birthday, where Dean and Allie use the jukebox to send messages to eachother (Allie picks U and UR Hand), while Dean sexts Allie. Again, nothing happens between them, but Allie leaves feeling hot and bothered.
At the same time, Deans new coach on the team is the father of an ex-girlfriend from high school and Dean is assigned to coach a boys hockey team. Dean also butts heads with Sabrina James, who resents Dean after she found out he was given better grades for sleeping with a TA. Allie also struggles in trying out for roles, believing she's been typecast as the vapid friend, and wished to play characters with more substance.
Eventually, Allie relents and invites Dean over. They hookup in secret (in part because of Dean’s reputation as a player). When Allie comes over to Dean’s place, Logan finds Dean alone in the tub with Allie’s vibrator. They also discuss being exclusive. A few nights later, Hannah texts Allie to join her at the bar with Garrett and his hockey friends and mentions that Dean is making out with some girl. Allie shows up looking like a snack and Dean confronts her. Allie reveals that she was jealous of the girl mentioned, and Dean reassures her that nothing happened and he brushed the girl off.
Later, Allie texts Dean that she's meeting with Sean (the evil ex). Sean shows Allie plane tickets for him and Allie to Los Angeles, after being unsupportive of Allies's acting career. Dean gives Allie the silent treatment, and Allie finds out that Dean was thrown out of the Hockey game for fighting. Allie finds Dean in the locker room and confirms that she is not getting back together with Spencer, and Dean invites Allie to drive down to New York with him or Thanksgiving. While keeping their relationship secret, Allie and Dean go down to New York, and Dean opens up to Allie about his past with the Coach's daughter.
In New York, Dean meets Allie's dad (who suffers from MS) on Thanksgiving, and Dean and Allie go out with Beau Maxwell and some other friends. When they return to Briar, one of Sean's teammates sees Allie and Dean together. Sean confronts Allie at her dorm, and calls Allie and Dean names. Garrett and Hannah step in and kick Spencer out, and Allie asks Hannah to call Dean. Dean shows up, demanding to see Allie, and Allie and Dean decide to date for real, and be public with their relationship, to Garrett's chagrin. Hannah asks Allie if she loves Dean, but she doesn't realize how deep her feelings are until she sees him coaching hockey.
They date happily and Dean's sister Summer visits. Allie accidentally knocks Dean out when thinking he's an intruder, and Dean and Allie confess that they love each other. (There's also some set up for Summer and Fitz's story in the Chase). Some time later, Dean finds out his good friend Beau Maxwell has died tragically in a car accident. Dean spirals out of control, and Allie tries to be patient with him. Dean is able to go through the motions of life - going to hockey practice and class, but the relationship suffers. Eventually, Dean misses Allie's opening night performance in her play, and Allie discovers Dean is on MDMA. Allie breaks things off with Dean, and Dean is also cut from the hockey team for his drug use.
Dean slowly works to make amends with his hockey team, his friends, the coach's daughter, and Allie. Allie tells him that she needs time apart from him. When Dean is in New York for the weekend, Allie receives a call that her father has fallen. Dean goes to Allie's house and checks on her dad, and bonds with him. When Dean returns, she and Dean get back together. Allie reveals she's turning down a sitcom role in LA and Dean presents her with plane tickets for Allie and her father. Allie tells him and Dean reveals he will not be going to Harvard Law, but will be coaching girls hockey at a private school in New York. Allie ends up landing a HBO job in New York and Dean and Allie plan to move together to New York after graduation. Dean takes Allie to a salsa class.
The novel ends with Tucker revealing that he is having a baby with Sabrina James.
Sabrina and Tucker's story starts the night after Dean hooks up with Allie for the first time. Sabrina goes out with her friends after attending an event at a professor's house and ends up a the bar. Sabrina is a hardworking student with aspirations to go to Harvard Law. She works two jobs: the postal service and a bar, and she lives with her grandmother and step-father, in less than ideal conditions. Tucker is supposed to return to Texas after graduation and start his own business. Of his roommates, Tucker is the most old-fashioned, dating-wise. Dean warns Tucker off of Sabrina, before leaving, and Tucker and Sabrina hook up, despite Tucker's friendship with Dean and Sabrina's insistence that it's a one time thing. There's a shuffle where a condom isn't used, but both people have a really good time. Sabrina drives home that night, and Tucker follows her to make sure she gets home safe. Sabrina blocks Tuckers phone number.
Tucker talks to Beau Maxwell to declare his intentions about Sabrina, and he finds Sabrina at school. Tucker is persistent in getting a date with Sabrina, but she asks him to give up. Sabrina gets into Harvard Law and visits the campus, where she is mistaken for a legal aid client, and the professor she meets with gives her useless advice. Tucker ends up going to Boston with Hollis and Fitz and runs into Sabrina at the bar she works at. They hook up again, at Sabrina's place, and Tucker overhears Sabrina's creepy step-father saying inappropriate things to her. Tucker leaves and Sabrina is incredibly embarrassed.
Sabrina sees Tucker on campus the next day. Tucker confronts her about the interaction, and encourages Sabrina to take some time for herself, while telling her about his life. A few days later, Beau tells Sabrina about Tucker's declaration of intentions, and Sabrina's friends convince her to go to one of Tucker's hockey games. There, she sees Tucker with another girl, but Tucker tells her she's a friend and asks Sabrina out again. Sabrina agrees to a double date with Tucker (and Fitz goes out with her friend Carin). They have phone sex before their date, which goes really well. They agree to keep their relationship a secret.
Dean and Allie's relationship is revealed after Thanksgiving, and Tucker meets Sabrina's grandmother. He goes back to Texas for the Holidays, and realizes he doesn't want to go back full time. Tucker and Sabrina miss each other over the break, and Sabrina gets sick. When Tuck plans a fancy night at a hotel for new years, they realize that Sabrina is pregnant. Later that week, the news about Beau's death comes out, and Tucker goes to comfort Sabrina. They attend the funeral together. There are a few time jumps involving Sabrina dealing with the pregancy news, and she eventually decides to keep the baby, and attend Harvard after running into Beau's sister.
Sabrina tries to give Tuck an out on their relationship, and he lies about seeing other people to make her more comfortable. Tucker stands by Sabrina and her decisions. Sabrina asks for time to tell her friends about the baby and Tucker eventually tells his mom, roommates and friends that he will be staying in Boston. Fitz, Garrett, and Logan are supportive, while Dean can't get past his hatred for Sabrina. Tucker commits to living with Hollis's terrible brother after graduation.
After Sabrina and Tucker visit the doctor and find out they are having a girl, Sabrina and Tucker have sex again, and pick up where they've started. They've both accepted that they love each other but won't admit it. Tucker reveals that Garrett and Logan are competing for godfather privileges and Tucker invites Sabrina to his house, to meet his friends. Sabrina has a nice time meeting Hannah, Grace, and the guys. She breaks down when Dean confronts her about how she's interfering with Tuck's life, and she admits to Dean that she love Tuck, but asks Dean not to tell Tuck. Dean and Sabrina call a truce.
Sabrina and her friends start to get things together for the baby, and Tucker starts to work construction in Boston to support himself while he looks for a business to invest in. Sabrina meets Tucker's mom, who believes Sabrina is taking advantage of Tucker's kindness. Tucker finds a bar he wants to invest in, but Sabrina goes into Labor, having a healthy baby girl, they decide to name James Tucker or Jamie. Tucker tells Sabrina he loves her in the hospital, but she pretends not to hear.
Things with Sabrina and Tucker are rocky after the baby is born. Sabrina snuggles to juggle the beginning of law school with being a mom and breastfeeding. Tucker is supportive of Sabrina, caring for Jamie so she can study. Tucker gets annoyed that women hit on him when he's out with Jamie, but he finds that the bar he was at earlier is for sale.
Tucker walks in when Ray (Sabrina's creepy step-dad) is being creepy around Sabrina and Jamie, and Tucker takes Sabrina to the bar, showing him their new apartment and Tucker's new business. Sabrina and Jamie move in with Tucker. Tucker's bar opens and Sabrina and Tucker finally have sex again. There's some lead up to the next books, and it's revealed that Logan and Grace are living together, Garrett is having major success playing Hockey, and Dean eventually comes around to Jamie and Sabrina. When Tucker's mom comes to visit, Sabrina is defensive over her life with Tucker and balancing Law School with Motherhood. Sabrina reveals that she loves Tucker and Tucker overhears.
Tucker and Sabrina confess their love for each other. The last chapter time jumps a year ahead to Logan's first game with the Bruins. Tucker, Sabrina, and Jamie attend and it is revealed that they are engaged. Sabrina is still in law school, Tucker's mother is moving up to Boston to help with the baby. Sabrina's friends and Grace and Hannah hang out often, and the book ends.

I'm assuming Briar U characters might be mentioned (especially Hunter and Summer), but I figured giving the run-down on those might not be fully relevant to the book coming out tomorrow.
Where are the Briar U Characters at the three year point?
Hunter, Demi, Conor and Taylor will be Seniors at Briar
Summer and Brenna will be fresh out of college.
Fitzy, Hollis, and Jake will be one year out of college.
Hollis and Rupi will have been married for less than a year
If you've made it this far, here's a list of things that were not discussed that should have been:
the fact that Tucker plays guitar
the fact that Logan gives Dean shit over Winston but is a hypocrite
The fact that Grace and Demi have the same academic and murdery-y interests
Grace/Demi/Taylor Friendship could be next level
Jake Connelly and Conor bonding over being Coach's sons-in-law
Dean and Sabrina make up / friendship
friendship between the girlfriends and the boys in general
Who are Jamie's godparents? (Garrett and Hannah?)
Carin and Fitzy's date - why was this never discussed?
Why do they never go to Tucker's bar? Like anyone from The Chase onward could have gone
More of Johnny /Gorgeous
More of Hannah/Allie bonding over Dean/Garrett
More Boogers/Dicky + Fitzy just being there
The fact that Fitzy and Hollis drove to Jake's game to yell at him
Hunter going to salsa lessons needs to happen
DO THEY GET THE PIG? PLEASE TELL ME THEY GET THE PIG
Demi & Taylor friendship after they move in together
Who becomes the next Dean/Hunter/Conor
I need a scene of Grace meeting Tom Brady or Gronk and Logan being annoyed because he too is a successful professional athlete (for reasons)

You’re lucky I love you, babe. If any other girl had done this to me—” “You love me?” I blurt out.

Reminders of him
November 9
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
I’m re reading throne of glass and honestly we don’t talk about Nox Owen enough
