We need a drama show for the Vacker family, with confession booths and the camera zooming in their faces.

We also need Alden to say “Reality Television is so edited! Not everything is real!”

Only for it to cut to a scene when Alvar and Alden are arguing and Quinlin walks out of the office with a wrongly buttoned shirt, all while Della pours herself a big glass of wine.

If it's not too much to ask, could you make some Qualden (Quinlin x Alden) fanart? If it's too difficult that's okay too :)

KOTLC BOOK REWRITE!!

If someone makes fan art for this fic I will actually cry :D (wink wink nudge nudge)

how about the adults all just make out aggressively for fifteen pages and we get a confirmed polycule already

Fitz asking Alden about whether cognates can date because he's into Sophie: stupid, silly, unrealistic, fitz is into chanderliers

Fitz asking Alden about whether cognates can date because he's trying to get him to admit he's into Quinlin: good, fantastic, canon

I can't believe I haven't talked about this yet, but I have a headcannon that Alden had the Vacker Legacy pushed onto him like he does with Fitz but Alden fell in love with Quinlin, and even the "It's not gay if you're cognates" doesn't really work for him because he's a Vacker, but his dad keeps pushing him to date his best friend Della who is secretly dating Quinlins best friend Livvy and the four of them make a deal: Quinlin and Livvy get married, Alden and Della get married and they can all be friends and Della and Alden and Qunlin and Livvy can pretend to be together in public but they can be with their actual partners in secret. Well, Alden and Della keep up the act very well and both of them wanted kids, so they agree to have them together. They realize after having Biana that suddenly the Elvin world is paying attention to their kids and not them, so they decide that when Alvar, Fitz and Biana grow up they'll get divorced and pursue their lovers publicly. So after Sophie and Fitz get married, they're technically a bad match and only the douches really look down on them, but Alden and Della sit Fitz, Biana and Sophie down with Livvy and Quinlin (Fitz insisted Sophie be there because she was part of the family now and deserved to be there) but before Della could explain, Sophie says, "Let me guess," and whips the whole thing out and Alden's like "How didyou know?" and Biana and Fitz are like, "It's pretty obvious, guys." And so anyways, Fitz and Biana completely support it and Della and Alden get divorced and get remarried to Quinlin and Livvy each and they're much happier but they still see each other for breakfast and Alden and Della go back to being just best friends, as do Quinlin and Livvy.

By far and away my favorite thing about the KOTLC Wiki is that it lists Quinlin/ Alden’s relationship history as “they were cognates”

Like, “they were roommates”.

Alden vision quinlin + live alden reaction for pride month. Just cognates being cognates.

that one barbie meme but it's qualden :P

(lol it looks so bad compared to all the other cool looking ones)

What do you think about Quinlin as a character and Livvy's husband?

He’s pretty interesting, actually. We first meet him in Atlantis, and from there he’s characterized as somebody like Alden, who will rebel at times but is opposed to rebellion and supports the Council.

Then, during Neverseen, we learn that he and Alden were Cognates and the reason they broke up was because Quinlin had second thoughts about Prentice’s mind break.

Which makes you think: Why did Alden break but not Quinlin? Quinlin performed the mind break itself - surely he would have more guilt that Alden would.

I think that comes down to Quinlin telling himself that he regretted what happened with Prentice, but he won’t wallow in it. He doesn’t try to convince himself it was the right thing like Alden did. He strikes me as a very pragmatic and logical person. He doesn’t agree with everything the Council does, but he doesn’t openly rebel because he doesn’t see the logic in it.

Now, his relationship with Livvy. It’s said in Nightfall that they filed a “match-fail” aka a divorce. It’s never revealed exactly why they did so - Quinlin didn’t know about Livvy’s affiliations with the Black Swan, and Livvy didn’t know that Quinlin performed the mind break on Prentice. So I think they fell out simply because of their opposing personalities and perspectives. Quinlin is serious and logic-oriented and chooses to keep his cards close to his chest and work within the law when he can. Livvy is passionate and daring and wants to do whatever she can do to broaden her perspective and help her world. They both know their places and don’t lie to themselves about their true intentions, but they just don’t mesh well together. It wasn’t for one reason in particular - even if Livvy hadn’t kept the Black Swan from him they probably would’ve still fell apart.

Thanks for the ask!
