Do you ever think that when Rhys came home after 50 years saying "She's my mate She's my mate She's my mate" and crying Mor thought for a moment he meant Amarantha?

Its never really talked about that when, in the bonus chapter, Az feel that certain “WANTS” and “NEEDS” aka horny 😆 that makes his “skin overheated and pulling taut across his bones” he gets up in the middle of the night to exercise. He doesn’t go looking for a female to satiate his need. Thats a very mated male behavior, only being able to think of being intimate with one female. When he talks about pleasuring himself hes only thinking of Elain.

Hes not thinking of Gwyn, hes not thinking of Mor, hes not thinking of Eris, hes not thinking of (insert random person hes shipped with here).

The evolution of the "two mates" theory into a true mating bond and an offspring mating bond perpetuates a misogynistic line of thinking.

It reduces Elain and Lucien's bond to the idea that Elain is merely meant to carry Lucien's child for some future greatness, implying that their bond will be rejected because Lucien wouldn't want to burden Elain with that responsibility, despite Elain feeling a pull towards him.

This reductionist view ignores the Suriel's statement that mates are meant to be equals and instead focuses solely on Rhys's theory about producing strong offspring, which has been disproven by various examples such as Feyre and Nesta's inability to carry their mates' children and Thesan's desire for a mating bond with his same-sex partner.

The logical conclusion is that the mating bond serves a broader purpose beyond offspring production.

However, some insist on concluding that there are two kinds of mating bonds. Examining other examples from SJM, every mating bond in the CC series contributed to the downfall of the Asteri. From Theia and Aidas bringing Hel's forces during the rebellion, to Silene and her NC High Lord keeping the legend alive through storytelling that allowed Bryce to find the truth, to Baxian and Danika motivating the search for other worlds, to Bryce and Hunt and Ruhn and Lidia who ultimately killed the Asteri.

Furthermore, in Crescent City, there would have been more mates, yet Aidas emphasized the necessity of Bryce and Hunt being together to stop the Asteri. Despite this, it took the intervention of a higher being to make them mates, highlighting that even in such a complex scenario, fate played a decisive role.

The Asteri's manipulation to force a mating bond was limited to angels, as it served the purpose of producing more angels.

Yet, proponents of the "offspring mating bond" theory continue to insist that Elain and Lucien's bond exists solely for procreation, despite the deeper implications and fate-driven changes evident in other examples.

The other day it struck me that FEYRE COULDN’T READ OR WRITE. Honestly with everything that happened I sort of put that to the bottom and I became really aware of it the other day and MOTHER SPARE ME! WHAAAAATTTT?! I mean, no one ever cared to teach her, and even then she was the one who brought food to their table, the one who went into the woods to hunt at freaking 14!!!! The one who took care of her sisters wants and needs. The one who promised to keep them safe. The one who stood up for them time and again, the one who gave and gave… and no one even cared of teaching her how to read and write!!!! IM SO ANGRY.

Not her mother, not her father, not Nesta nor Elain.

(Now I love them both but man! Why didn’t they care?!?!)

Not even Tamlin, he was all “if you want I can write the letter for you.” He was more worried about her image and the wedding than the fact that she literally couldn’t read!!! (I’m so offended) he never brought it up. He knew and sort of ignored it.

But the point is, Rhys did. It is such a beautiful and tender act of love. Feyre felt ashamed when he discovered she couldn’t read. And I think about it and it’s such a vulnerable moment when Feyre tells him no one ever took care of her, not just not teaching her but with everything else.

And Rhysand taught her, Rhys did care. It is such a great gesture of love like “Don’t be ashamed of it, it’s not your fault, let me help you, let me take care of you.” It’s one of those things which feels so intimate and tender. For me it feels like Rhys helped baby Feyre to read, he helped healing her inner child who was ignored and pushed aside all the time. He healed her. And she did the same for him.

Even when Rhysand thought she was going back to Tamlin, he took care of her, he even mentioned that she’s to be a High Lord’s wife and she is expected to be able to read, so he taught her.

So beautiful how he loves her so much he just wanted to help her so she could be able to do something as easy as read or write, he helped her to be more independent, to be ready for whatever she could face.

Ok do you know why I'm 100% confident SJM would never do 2 types of bonds, bad cauldron bonds and good Mother bonds as the anti-eluciens like to preach after HOFAS?

Because of this:

Because already people question mates that got their HEA, and if she puts on paper that some bonds are wrong, all her mated couples will get questioned inevitably.

Mor and ACOTAR Mates

Mor carries/winnows Feyre when she gets locked up by Tamlin. Feyre is mated to Rhysand.

Mor winnows both Nesta and Elain after they were turned fae. Nesta is mated to Cassian and we know Elain is mates with Lucien.

Who else do we know has been carried/winnowed by Mor? Gwyn. Gwyn was attacked at Sangravah and after Azriel slaughtered the soldiers and wrapped her in his cloak, Gwyn is carried and winnowed to safety by Mor. Gwyn is suspected by many (me included) to be Azriel mate.

Mor who has the power of Truth has helped each of these women after traumatic events in their lives and has carried/winnowed these women to safety, and Mor is also the one who told Feyre that Elain and Lucien would need time to figure things out on their own.

I just find it incredibly interesting Mor is connected to all these instances and the mated/suspected couples in the ACOTAR series.

Lucien with the rest of the world:

Lucien when it comes to Elain:

Is there anything more endearing than a character who is known for his conversational skills stumbling over his words and what to say when in the presence of his mate?

He's so completely off his game whenever Elain is near him and I absolutely love how the way he feels around her has completely thrown him for a loop.

He's literally the most adorable mate ever right now though I also look forward to him spending more time with Elain so he can transition into the sassy Lucien from book 1 with fire in his blood.

Azriel/reader in Battle of Hybern

This is a one shot of the reader in the Battle of Hybern. The reader is Azriel's mate. The reader is critically injured in battle and the whole piece is about them suffering injuries and him finding them. I have never written fanfic but the hurt/comfort trope is fascinating to me.

*TW for violence, injuries, war

It was the final battle against Hybern. Rhys was amidst the fighting, as was Mor and Azriel. Feyre and Amren and her sisters had long since disappeared. Cassian's entire regiment had been reduced to ashes, and he had since rejoined the slaughter.

You know Azriel shouldn't be fighting. He had been injured saving Elaine and Feyre and wasn't fully recovered. His wings, his beautiful wings had been shredded and patched and there was no way he was strong enough to last throughout this fight.

As a seasoned warrior you know you need to focus on the fight. Any slip in concentration would get you or your fellow warriors killed. But at the back of your mind you were constantly thinking of Azriel. Azriel, his strong body and quiet soul and Azriel, your mate, your mate your mate....

He was supposed to be safe and out of battle, but you knew that there was no way that he would tolerate standing on the sidelines while his family fought. This morning, when everyone said goodbye to each other, you stood to the side with him while he rested his forehead against yours, closed his eyes and caressed your cheek. He begged you to be careful, to be safe, and almost didn't let go of your hand as everyone took their respective places amidst the army. His dark eyes, full of grief were the last thing you saw as you winnowed down into battle.

Now there is slaughter on all sides. You have two sleek swords, one in each hand as you fight and fight the Hybern foot soldiers. This is where you excel, you are a master warrior. But you are getting tired. You and everyone on all sides. Hybern is endless and it seems there is no end in site.

You finish taking down the a particularly large Hybern beast when you feel a sharp, slicing pain through your side. You whirl around and meet the next strike from a crazed Hybern soldier, striking his sword arm with one of your own and ending his life with the other.

You take quick inventory of the injury. It is a deep laceration across the right side of your lower ribs and it is bleeding but doesn't seem to be too deep. You've had worse, but your right side is your strong side and you know that this will likely put you at a disadvantage. And it hurts, it really fucking hurts.

You take a shuddering breath, keeping your right arm against your body and raising your left sword again. You let a fleeting image of Azriel into your head, praying for his safety and knowing you will likely die before the end of the battle. Maybe he won't make it through the battle either. You pray you're wrong.

Despite your wound you fight and fight. You were made to never quit. You fight for your family and friends and Prythian. You pray Feyre can end this soon. You will not quit; you will not yield.

At some point in the battle, giants from Hybern's army appear. You do not see them coming from behind. But you hear the shrieking of fellow soldiers as they begin to die. You turn at the first increase in screams, and see a giant bowl a boulder in your direction. You are lucky enough to dodge and just make it out of the way. You stumble at the last minute though, and an incomprehensibly large hand wraps around you from behind. There is no escape, it's grip is crushing. Just as fast as it grabs you you are hurled throughout space, striking the ground with immense speed, bouncing and then rolling. You come to a stop in the field amidst your fellow fallen soldiers.

The words rocks and you struggle to catch your breath. You are nauseous and you cannot see clearly. Your ears are ringing and you are pretty sure several of your bones are broken. You can't get your body to cooperate with you, and you are pretty sure you are dying.

You cannot move from where you have landed, prone on the muddy field, your left arm trapped underneath you, your left cheek on the ground. You manage to somewhat catch your breath, but breathing remains difficult. You know you have broken ribs, you feel them grind together with every breath.

You do not know how long you lie there, fighting to breathe, to move. You lie there listening to the sounds of war, the whimpers of your fellow soldiers. After what feels like years, you know something has happened with the cauldron. You felt immense power, the soldiers of Hybern have since disappeared. The sounds of the injured around have started to quiet.

The sun has begun to set, and you are cold but are not shivering. You escape into your memories of Azriel, praying that he remains unhurt. You think of waking up with him in a warm bed, your head on his chest, his hand lazily caressing your back. You remember the beat of his steady heart, his soft smile, his face and body at peace, and you pray he can find peace again as you let darkness overcome you.

You are awakened by someone grabbing you by the shoulders and being roughly turned over. The hands are shaking, and you hear deep, gut wrenching sobs as you hear the voice say your name over and over. It is night time, and it is cold. You feel so, so weak. You try and speak, but all that comes out is a soft and agonized moan.

After a moment you recognize that it is Azriel who has found you. Your mate, who of course would find you. You open your eyes to slits and see his face is covered in blood and there are tracks from tears running down his cheeks. You can see his mouth moving but cannot comprehend the words. Blue light from his siphons, weaker than normal, wraps around your chest, covering the wound and stabilizing your ribs somewhat. You feel the blue light wrap around your leg. He straightens your head and slightly tilts your head back to help you breath easier. His hands are on your face, stroking your hair from your face. He looks up and seems to be shouting at someone. As his eyes move back to you the darkness claims you once more.

Next you remember is being set down on a hard surface. You are in a tent, and you hear the wailing of injured and shouting around you. There are hands removing your armor and clothing. You open your eyes to see two healers you recognize as apprentices of Madja. To your left you see Cassian wrap an arm around Azriels chest and pull Azriel backwards out of the way. Azriel does not fight. You know Feyre and Rhys must be somewhere nearby because you hear Feyre ask Rhys to take the pain away. You feel dark claws at the edge of your mind, giving one loving caress before you feel a blanket settle over your mind and you loss consciousness again.

The first thing you are aware of when you wake up is the steady stroking of the back of your hand. There are birds chirping in the distance. There is quiet speaking, and soft sobs and moans around you. Your eyes open to see your beautiful mate staring at you. There is grief etched in every angle of his strong body. He is covered in mud and blood and grime. He does not not appear to be injured, however, and you feel light with the relief that you both have made it through together. He murmurs your name and begins to silently weep. You recognize you are in a field infirmary, and there are dozens of injured warriors around you. Azriel's hand is in yours, and the other comes to cup your cheek. He struggles to find words, but manages to say "I love you, I love you" over and over.

It was early morning when you awoke in the infirmary. Azriel could not find the words to describe to you how the war had ended. He just wanted to make sure you were comfortable and ok, and explained that you would be bedridden for several days, but that you would be ok.

After some time Rhys and Feyre come in. Feyre talks and talks, explaining how Amren had gone into the Cauldron, how Rhys had sacrificed himself to fix it. How the other High Lords and brought him back to life, and how her sisters had killed the King of Hybern. You notice Rhys is leaning slightly against Feyre, but he does not give any other sign to indicate he was very recently dead. Rhys asks for your account of the war, and you show him. You are both silent for a few minutes as you show him a fast-forwarded version of your memories. You realize that your experience could be condensed down to fighting soldiers for hours and then lying injured and waiting to die. You show him your memories up until him helping you into unconsciousness while being healed.

He is quiet for a time, lost in thought and then tells you he is proud to have fought with you, and that you fought exceptionally well. He shows you a condensed version of Azriel's memories with Azriel's associated emotions filtered out. At the end of the battle while Cassian and Rhys where being healed, Azriel was searching for you on the battlefield. He and his soldiers combed through the dead in search of the living, and his focus was only on finding you. You stay in the memory long enough to see Azriel finding you and turning you over. You pull out back to the present just as you see yourself slowly gasping for air, as the memory is the pain is still so, so fresh.

Azriel refuses to leave your side. Rhys grants him temporary leave from his duties until he is sure Azriel can focus safely. After several days, when the injured are healed enough to move, the camp is taken down. Azriel and his shadows winnow you back to the House of Wind to your room. You spend several more days recovering, spending lazy days together talking, reading, and basking in each other's company.
