I LOVE how every rowaelin fic needs to have a rowaelin baby in it. Like we know that they’d be the BEST parents

They would be the absolute best parents 😭

They will be and it warms my heart because they’ll give their kids everything to make their lives peaceful and happy 🥲

This is also why there’s a baby in every one of my fics 🤭

Yours truly is about to cry. As of five minutes ago I officially finished ALB. 75 chapters + epilogue 456k words 13 months…  It’s over and I can’t believe it. It will still need a lot of editing but yeah, the story is done…

Now if you’ll excuse I'll go and hide in a corner and cry

I’m so happy for you but also what will I do with my life now? 😭😭😭😭😭😭😭

Sorry for lack of updates y’all. 😭

Work has been absolutely kicking my butt. Hopefully will get back into regular updates soon. Here is a photo of my plants as compensation. 😅 (I know it doesn’t work like that)

new tag game: the thing you most often pretended to be as a kid—whether it was a horse, a bride, a queen, a specific character, a knight, a lawyer, a baby, anything—is symbolically representative of you currently. what is it for you?

Same Time Thursday - part 25

————————————————-

two stt updates in one night! this is not usual haha, and i was not expecting to get this done tonight, but here it is!

CW: general angst, injury, car crashes, death, blood, brief allusions to sexual assault, panic attacks

————————————————

Her mouth was dry, that’s the first thing she felt. It was so dry she could barely swallow, not that she could really move her mouth anyway. Every muscle in her body felt weak; she didn’t even think she could move a single finger, let alone a whole part of her body. 

With that thought, she tried to, resulting in a twitch of her right pointer finger.

And Aelin wanted to blink, but her eyelids felt too heavy, yet she still tried, only accomplishing another twitch. It was making her feel claustrophobic, the inability to move. Was she dead? Was she still in the car? Had Hellas brought her back just for her to die again?

A small whimper escaped her, her nose scrunching. She managed to tug her hand a little bit more, but it got caught in something connected to it, keeping her hand stuck where it was. Her breath caught. 

😭😭😭

The Most Important Thing

a rowaelin oneshot

~ 13k words

CW: abortion, implied abuse, poverty, homelessness, death

an: this one is heavy, I need to warn you. I've been working on this for a while, and I'm finally ready to post it, but it is quite angsty. But you know me, so it ends happily, it's just quite the ride to get there. But I hope despite all of that, you enjoy it! Let me know what you think!

And thank you so much to @whimsicallyreading for being my sounding board and helping me with all of this. This fic would not be here without you!

Her socks were wet. The lingering puddles of rain had soaked through her thin sneakers and now every step was a distinct squish.

She normally hated the feeling, but she couldn’t quite feel it this time. It was more of an expectation than an actual sensation. Yet her brain latched onto it and Aelin stared at her feet as they trailed along the damp pavement.

It was either that or think about the hand digging into her back, urging her forward faster than her legs wanted to take her.

Only a few months, only a few more months. That’s what had been running through her head for the past half a year. She was seventeen, almost legal and out on her own, but apparently she wasn’t making it to eighteen unscathed.

You know what the second I stopped saying “I wish I had a friend who-“ and started being “the friend who-“ my life has gotten 100% more fulfilling

No legitimately. I have a tea table in my room for when friends can come over again. Most of my friends have a key to the back door in my room. I make my friends sweaters and buy things they mention they want. I send handwritten letters in the mail to my friend who lives a block away. I annotate poetry books and give them as gifts when it’s not even a holiday. I keep extra gloves in my purse and jackets in my car.

I’m not trying to be like “ohoho look at me I’m such a good friend”, I’m saying the second I stopped going “I wish I had friends who would invite me to tea parties” and just. hosted the tea parties myself? I still got to do the thing. I still got to see my friends. I still got to be happy with them.

I don’t think it’s about who does it, I think it’s just the genuine act of caring for people, and giving a little light to the environments you’re in.

Okay. Apparently I’m not done talking about this.

It’s a lot of energy, I get that. Especially if you’re putting in all this effort, but not getting any back.

But I think that’s the reason no one does it. I mean we’re so worried we’ll start doing all these things and our friends won’t like it or won’t be into it, so we just don’t.

Only last week my friend messaged me, asking if I wanted to go stargazing with her. When I forget about our weekly virtual tea party, another friend called me to ask if I wanted them to host it this week.

I’ve been invited on hikes and picnics and pie making competitions over zoom, and it all sort of started with me going out of my way to be “that friend”.

I genuinely believe that the easiest answer to “how do I get friends like that?” Is to be one. In most cases, everyone else just follows by example, because they aren’t worried they’ll be wasting time and energy anymore.

It’s been a long time since I posted this but I’m saying now that btw. if you aren’t getting anything in return, no matter how hard you are trying: find better friends

ANNOUNCEMENT: Aelin Week

Hello, everyone!

We are pleased to announce that we have another scheduled event coming up soon! A weeklong birthday celebration of our favorite assassin queen: Aelin Ashryver Whitethorn-Galathynius!!

When will this take place?

The week of May 1st - May 7th

Who can participate?

Anyone! We accept all forms of content, such as fics, moodboards, playlists, art, whatever you can think of! Just make sure you tag aelinweek when you post, more submission information will be coming soon.

So... what are the prompts?

Well, we your @rowaelinscourt admin team came up with seven prompts for this celebration all centered around our lovely queen! And they are:

May 1st: Beltane

May 2nd: Aelin and the magic of friendship

May 3rd: Aelin's birthday!!

May 4th: When Rowan is away

May 5th: Aelin and pregnancy

We'll have a submission post up soon! I hope you all are as excited as we are to celebrate the birthday of our favorite queen!!

Almost one day left until Aelin Week! I hope everyone is excited! 😁

Just a few reminders:

any sort of creation is accepted, whether it be moodboards, playlists, art, fics, etc. whatever you can think of!
make sure to tag aelinweek when you post, as that is how we will find your creation and make sure it's reblogged to the page!

and lastly, a point of clarification:

for this celebration, we're relying on reblogging instead of a submission link, in an attempt to streamline the process, so make sure to tag aelinweek so it can be found, and if once the week is over, you do not see your work on the page or on the masterlist that we will create, send us an ask to let us know and we'll get it straightened out right away!!
