"From her place still sitting on the ground, she watched him running in a circle around her. His wings pulled in tight, his shadows pulled after him like a cloak of darkness. It was a marvellous sight to behold, this angry shadowsinger. The wish to tell him was strong and Gwyn promised to herself there, sitting in the midst of his orbit, that one day she would." ‣ Gwynriel Slow-Burn | Evil-Elain-Arc | picks up the loose plot-ends of ACOSF ‣ Follow Gwyneth and Azriel on their journey of facing their very own jigsaw, chasing pieces to finally reach a state of peace in life that both desire alone yet together. ‣ If you've read the bonus chapters in ACOSF you're all set to dive right into this story, as its timeline starts right where ACOSF ended. ‣ Feel free to let me know what you think, I'm always happy about feedback and every review is highly appreciated. ► CONTENT WARNINGS ◀︎ This story is for a mature audience.

Gwyn took a step closer, leaning to whisper in his ear. "You don't get to tell me what to do." She whispered, sending a chill down his spine. "Are you going to find some other man to prove a point then?" "How would you feel if I did?" "Answer the question, Gwyneth." *Characters (other than OCs) belong to Sarah J Maas' ACOTAR series

Azriel is spiraling and shutting everyone out. Ever since that night on Winter Solstice, Azriel has been going in deeper and deeper, and even his brothers fail to pull him out of the void he has fallen into. Gwyn's life is better than ever. Her days are full, her nights are spent, and she's one of the three most famous female Valkyries who managed to conquer the Illyrian Blood Rite. But something's missing, some part of her heart that's not satisfied with her days. As Briallyn's forces gather under the command of the old death god Koschei and war is threatening to break out again, Gwyn and Azriel may have to battle the monsters within first to make sure they make it out of this new conflict alive.

With no one but his chosen family to rely on, the Shadowsinger finds that he is once again left out of the loop when his brothers find their fated loves, leaving him to embark on their journeys to true happiness.

And he wants nothing more to keep it to himself as a shared secret between him and his shadows.

Follows story line of the ACOTAR series.... picks off right after ACOSF, so of course spoilers are meant to be said in this story. For people who haven't read ACOTAR, read at your own risk, but fair warning you might be just a tad bit confused. ALSO... I will not be trashing any character, expect for assholes like Beron and his sons (expect for Eris). STORY DESCRIPTION: Gwyneth Berdara has spent her last year still not being able to leave that gods-damned library. She wants to leave, but every time she is about to reach the outside world, she freezes and goes back to Sangravah. She tells herself that she is safe, she is in Velaris, but nothing works. She feels as if she's still stuck in the same place from when she entered the library two years ago. One incident makes her leave the Night Court and into another court. How will she react? Azriel was there in Sangravah, but he had arrived too late. Ever since the incident, Azriel has been slipping farther and farther away from his family. He doesn't know why the incident had been eating away at him, it wasn't his first time failing at his job. Azriel finds shocking news that he must keep from Gwyn. The plot line derives somewhat from the initial description. P.S. : I do not own this art, I just made it as my cover! Same thing goes for the characters, Sarah J Maas, wrote these character from scratch. Except for my OC!

GWYNRIEL Azriel/Gwyn Set after ACOSF A friendship begins to blossom between the priestess Gwyneth Berdara and the shadowsinger Azriel. But could it become something more? And what will stand in their way? When Cassian and Azriel are sent to travel into Illyria to combat the unrest, the Valkyries are sent with them in an attempt to try and rally the female Illyrians. Gwyn and Azriel must combat their demons together from within the Illyrian camps. *Trigger warning: Deals with mental health and mentions of sexual assault.

This is for Gwynriel shippers. The story takes place the day after the chapter in Az's POV. This is a slow burn. I will be trying to stay as head canon as possible. Hope you like it.
