Marked by Wyrd
Long ago, life blossomed from an iron Cauldron and created the world. The three sacred sister peaks—a reflection of Wyrd (Mother, Cauldron, Fate) herself—may have risen from the ground at this time. Three interconnected pieces of a whole. Regardless of when they rose, they are marked by Wyrd physically and magically. The watery veins of the land, flowing from peak to peak, even smell of iron. These sacred sisters hold the secrets of the land and their people, just as their creator carries secrets of the universe in her dark womb.
After thousands of years, Wyrd Made another triad of blessed sisters (and the one most connected to nature even rose from the ground like a sacred sister peak). Three interconnected pieces of a whole. There are signs from the very beginning that they, too, are marked by Wyrd.
The sisters were born in their mother’s enormous ironwood bed (connecting them to witches as well as the iron womb of Wyrd).
When their fortune changed and they moved to the stone cottage, their father made sure they were protected by ward-markings…or were those Wyrdmarks? (@ultadverb pointed this out to me and it’s been on my mind since.)
Whorls and swirls? That’s exactly how Aelin describes them, too. Definitely Wyrdmarks.
Two of the sisters wore iron bracelets for added protection, and Elain was given an engagement ring made of iron.
Not a coincidence, it seems, as they were reborn in Wyrd’s iron womb.
Instead of iron bracelets, they now wear iron crowns, which are magical links to Wyrd and maybe even her protective powers, like the swirls and whorls of Wyrdmarks on their cottage.
Regardless of how they were Made, all three sisters are blessed by fate Wyrd and reborn with unique powers, maybe even Immortal Light…
To match Rhysand, who is ✨Starborn✨.
The Night Court’s insignia honors this Immortal Light: a triad of stars glow above Ramiel, the heart of their court and perhaps even the world, each spring. Three interconnected pieces of a whole. A beacon of light and life for those with the vision and powers to see it. Where Wyrd, blossoming life, once rested.
As though fated, Feyre and Elain encounter a tapestry of this insignia near solstice. They both hear the story of the weaver who made Hope after she mastered Void. Feyre and Nesta have faced their own grief and created a more hopeful future for themselves. They have both also used that iridescent, living light to help others. Elain will soon face her own demons, maybe even the Void itself. She will face it and find her own strength: a living, colorful bloom of starlight. And maybe once she blossoms with her own hopeful light, her sisters—chosen bearers of Wyrd like their mountainous counterparts—will be there beside her, glowing like starfire.
The heart of the world resting in the palms of their luminescent hands. Three interconnected pieces of a whole. Together.

I already know I want the boys to have been frozen for over 200 years. In separate vaults, so they could never see each other again. Arasaka making sure Goro never makes it out of the Vault, and instead commands him to become the overseers bodyguard/right hand man (an idea from @gonksinlove thanks for that)! <3 otherwise he'd be experimented on and left for dead, turned into a ghoul by being injected with radiation.
A few years go by and Goro decides he's going to finally plan an escape, to try and find Vaughn, get back to his lost love, but he was caught. Knowing what he had planned to do, the overseer decided he needed a fate worse than death, and threw him in the cyro-pod so he'd never have a chance to see or find Vaughn again.
-
The opposite side holds Vaughn in a vault with the Aldecaldos, but only some, since the clan got separated when Arasaka infilitrated their camp looking for Goro, naturally everyone freaked out and some scattered, Panam being thrown into a mosh-pit and taken away from Vaughn as well.
Vaughn couldn't live with knowing Goro was out there, possibly dead, possibly hurt, and knowing he may never see him again, and after he found out his Vault also held cryo-pods, willingly put himself in it, hoping one day he'd wake up and see Goro again, even if it was thousands of years into the future.
(This feels like going into Mikoshi and waiting until you get a new body while your love is in real-space waiting for you in Japan sdjksjks)
-
277 years later, Goro's pod malfunctions, and out steps a man now in a world completely unrecognizable. Everyone in the vault is dead, bugs are ten times their size, the air feels more.. dangerous than usual. But the one thing he knew for certain, he was going to find the love of his life, no matter how dangerous it was out there.

You guys… please read this letter I found that I wrote back when I was twelve… I can’t stop laughing about the reason why I’d written it…
LMAOOO why I put bible shit in there is beyond me, but I think Adam and Eve was the extent of any biblical knowledge I had at that age and I wanted to flaunt it???? Questionable.

lol I love these questions — 32!!
molly!!!! ask and you shall receive :)
32. What’s the worst place you have ever been to?
the waffle house in amarillo, texas. i grew up in the south and started eating waffle house basically at birth (and probably before -- i'm sure my mom was eating waho while she was pregnant with me) and i literally. did not know that waffle house could taste bad. like i thought that wasn't possible. it's fucking WAFFLE HOUSE, for chrissakes. but the food there was nasty, the waffle house ladies were mean, and we had to cut off a piece of my car in the parking lot (which is not really the waffle house's fault but i do blame the rest of amarillo, texas for their shit roads). if i never go back to amarillo it'll be too soon!
let's get personal
