If you can still hear me wherever you are, my love, my tormentor, hear this:
It was never my intention to murder you.
Not in the beginning anyway.

Dorian and Chaol so cutesy

“you were led here tonight, but not by me. I was led here, too. Someone wants you to learn; someone wants you to see…”

hmmmm

"You must listen to what I tell you. Nothing is a coincidence. Everything has a purpose.
You were meant to come to this castle, just as you were meant to be an assassin, to learn the skills necessary for survival."

Also there are 8 guardians. The gargoyles
on the clock tower. They guard the portal between our worlds.

facts i feel i need to remember:
“Ah! Times rift!” below the queens sarcophagus
No fae had married into the havilliard line in a thousand years.
Gavin the first King of Adarlan and Elena Galanthynius Havilliard, the first princess of Terrasen, Brannon’s daughter and Gavin’s wife and queen (also Elena is half-fae)
Damaris, G’s sword, slain Dark Lord Erawan in the fierce wars and almost split continent 1/2

yeah upon further inspection ASSASSINS BLADE SHOULD NOT BE READ FIRST!

throne of glass is soooo good, but reading AB first really dulled it the first time around! i’m loving it this time!

I’m coughing now, but I do my best to hide it. I don’t want Kai to worry. Several Healers and Scholars document my progress daily. Foul-tasting herbs are forced down my throat in the hopes that they will aid my chances of survival.

I read in Father’s letter how he gave a dose to Ava when she was born. He was so terrified of having a weak child that he did everything he could to prevent it. But Ava was only a child—she could not survive the sickness.

Whattttttt???? Then Kitt took some too??

Kai rushes to his brother, voice choked. “No! You were supposed to dodge, Kitt!” Dazed, the king looks down at the stoker buried in his chest. Touches shaking fingers to the gushing wound. My whole body trembles as I watch blood seep from Kitt’s touch, bathing scribbled words in scarlet beneath his fingertips. His wide green eyes lift. “I… forgot.”

When their weapons meet again, and they stand face-to-face, a slight smile is shared between them. This is how they know each other—this is how they remember themselves. Before me are the brothers who taught each other to love with a sword in hand and a muddy ring beneath their feet. They found companionship in what they could control, and in this moment, that is each other.

sad

“The roses,” I sputter. “What did you do to those roses?” “They were laced, and you delivered them for me.” The damning words slide easily off Kitt’s tongue. Then a rattling cough spews from his mouth. “Izram will be the first infected kingdom.”

omg

My voice is choked. “You knew about Edric’s plan for the Resistance?”
“Calum sent you to go find the tunnels beneath this castle, and Father used me to ensure you did.” He shakes his head. “I was stupid enough to think you wouldn’t use me like that.”

this is an absolute shit storm

I stare at the woman who raised me when the queen could not. The paling of her face is odd. She would have taken care of my mother when she was pregnant with me— My heart sinks, heavy with a sudden realization. Paedyn was born eighteen years ago, the daughter of Queen Iris and my father’s Mind Reader. And yet, I am a year older than she. My throat goes dry.

whhoooop there it is

“People of Ilya, we gather here today to join Kitt Azer, king and savior of Ilya, and the lady Paedyn Gray in holy matrimony. Bear witness to their union and abide by the power granted unto them.”

this is soooo wrong and kai dont even know he has NO CLAIM to the throne

“Holy shit.” I glance over at Kai to find his features arranged in equal parts shock and repulsion. “Took you long enough,” I sigh. “You’re fucking related,” Kai spews. There is something like awe in his voice. Because this is hope. This is a way out of a marriage neither of us wants. “You can’t possibly go through with this ceremony.”

EASEL IS A BAD GUY? WHY AM I GETTING THAT VIBE

This isn’t a goodbye, Father. Only a good way to say bye until we meet again. Because I will haunt you in every lifetime. A shadow of the woman you loved, trapped in the body of an Ordinary you hate. I smile. His eyes widen as though the torture has already begun. Until then, Father.

teaaaaa

“I know it sounds crazy, but Calum admitted it—” “We are half siblings,” Kitt finally blurts. I blink at my husband, then down at the ring on my finger.

atleast the kiss was closed mouth i guess

“I must say, I’ve never met a Psychic before. Your powers are… intriguing.” A sham. A lie. A disgrace to his name.

called it

“From that very first night in my home, you were playing me.” “Your father would be proud.” That is what Calum had said to me after I pledged myself to the Resistance’s cause. And proud he was, having finally caught me. A ghost of the woman he loved in the body of a worthless Ordinary he hated. “And I am.” Calum laces those long fingers behind his back. “Very proud of the puppet you became for me.”

“And my father…” I choke on the words. “You told the king about him. You are the reason he is dead. Because you found out about the Resistance.” “He was helping in the castle during fever season,” he says simply. “We passed in the hall, and I read his mind. Learned of his plans for a Resistance. But that was not what killed Adam in the end.”

CALLUM IS FAKE AF AND I LIKED HIM

“But Alice was not the mother you were talking about, It was the queen you loved. The one who died giving birth to me. You were Iris’s lover, And the king’s Mind Reader, feeding him information about the Resistance the entire time. That is why he was always one step ahead. So I’ll ask you again, Do I look like my mother?”

AND HES HER FATHER OMG OMG BUT WHAT DOES THIS MEANNNN

I’ve never looked into the face of a ghost, but I imagine this is what it would feel like. My whole body goes numb as the photograph slips from between my fingers. Something grips my very soul, certain and crushing. It’s familiarity, I realize. It’s recognition of yourself within another.

MHMMMMMMMM THEN WHAT

This was not the king she was meeting. No, the queen would not sneak about the castle with her own husband. She had a lover.

Hmmmm so maybe instead:

Kitt and Paedyn - half siblings (same mom, diff dad??)
Kitt and Kai - unrelated
Kai and Paedyn - unrelated
Kai and Ava - half siblings (same mom, diff dad)
Ava and Paedyn - unrelated
Ava and Kitt - half siblings (same dad??? diff mom)

“Are you”—I spot something that looks suspiciously like blood splatter his handkerchief—“all right?” He wipes his mouth. “I’m fine.” “Kitt, I think you’re sick—” “I said I’m fine, Paedyn,” he snaps, eyes suddenly wild. I take a bewildered step back and watch the king compose himself. He clears his raw throat. Shifts into something deceivingly docile. “Thank you for your concern.”

Kai stands in the doorway, his chest heaving as though he has sprinted past his best judgment and found himself here. A broken sort of acknowledgment of my fate fills his face. I see the exact moment he realizes he is too late. His gray eyes flick between the two of us in disbelief. Even the Enforcer did not believe I would go through with it, and his hurt cuts me deep.

i wanna fight

Kitt, ever kingly and calm, leans in to press his lips to mine. It is soft, a baring of his soul despite never doing so with words. This kiss tastes like the sweet end of an apology, or the lingering of a farewell. And when he pulls away, I’m left staring into the face of my husband.

ummm if my theory is correct this isnt very sibling-y of them.

Kai is nowhere to be found, just as he promised. “Paedyn?” The Scholar raises his bushy brows at me. Still, I wait for something to save me from this moment. I teeter before the rest of my life and beg for someone to catch me before I fall. My dress grows too tight as hope flees from my chest, stealing all the air with it.

Feyre coded

Nothing makes me stronger than the weakness that is you, Paedyn Gray. And if, in the next lifetime, you choose to steal from me again, I would happily give you my soul if it meant a place beside yours. But until then, I will watch you become another’s reason to thank the Plague. You, Pae, are my inevitable. (I love you.) 3/3

If it weren’t for the dividing of Ordinaries and Elites so many years ago, I would have never found my way to you. My coins are always at risk in your presence, but no saving of my life would have been necessary that day. No Silencers. No Purging Trials. No stolen moments under the willow. When I thank the Plague, it is not for the power it has gifted me, but for the privilege of you. 2/3
