Friendly Reminder - Shadows & Gwyn
Azriel's shadows have a distinct, positive reaction to Gwyn that CANNOT be ignored or brushed away as them reacting to Gwyn's power when she's not even singing.
From the Bonus Scene of Azriels (which is accurate portrayal of how they act around people):
He found it already occupied. His shadows had not warned him. 
His shadows peered over his wings at her.  
The young priestess smiled--and Azriel thought it might have been directed at his curious shadows.
Her breath curled in front of her mouth, and one of his shadows darted out to dance with it before twirling back to him. Like it heard some silent music.
Azriel dipped his head in a sketch of a bow, something restless settling in him. Even his shadows had calmed. As if content to lounge on his shoulders and watch.
He could have sworn a faint, beautiful singing followed him. Could have sworn his shadows sang in answer.
From A Court Of Silver Flames itself:
Gwyn asked Az, her teal eyes bright, “What do we get if we finish the course?”
Az’s shadows danced around him. “Since there’s no chance in hell any of you will finish the course, we didn’t bother to get a prize.”
Boos sounded. Gwyn lifted her chin in challenge. “We look forward to proving you wrong.”
Azriel is a Shadowsinger (who can see/hear things others cannot) so it's entirely plausible his shadows can pick up on a mating bond that has yet to be revealed and that Azriel himself does not know yet. It's entirely plausible they know Gwyn is his mate, the person the Mother picked out for him, and that's why they have the reaction they do around him when he's interacting with Gwyn.

A wild thought
Okay why would an author make a character in his bonus character write about how his relationship with a female character and really hint about how it’s just so wrong and how it feels wrong, how it’s nothing more than just sexual attraction. Then make him go get some fresh air only to meet another female character who brings him out better. And she made us know more things about him than we did in the last 4 books. Then have a small conversation and he shows a lot of reactions (like good ones ofc) . When he leaves he could hear a singing calling out to him. Then the author ends it with the words
A thing of secret, lovely beauty
Ps: he could even imagine how her eyes would light up.

Let’s state the facts.
Elain has a mate. Deny it all you want with your true mate theory and the couldron being manipulated but it is a fact that Azriel could smell the mating bond.
During Azriel’s entire POV, you can tell that all the reaction of him towards Gwyn has been involuntary as if it stems out of something instinctual and out of his control.
His shadows, his restlessness, the image of Gwyn glowing deep within him, the silent music that he can hear.
The thing is even if Elain and Azriel do end up together there is a huge question left hanging of who Azriel’s true mate is.
You never know or can predict anything with SJM but Gwyn feels like the answer to this question.

What would your predictions for the next book be?
Hello Anon,
My prediction is that there will be the birth of aggressive Tamlain shippers that will make me want to throw up. Gwynriels will finally have some peace and will start enjoying their content.
Ok on a more serious note ... predictions will be
1. It is Azriel's book shared by Gywn - Logic dictates it will be his book. The plot lines will be Autumn and Illyria. I do think Nesta will be vital to the book as well.
2. Emorie sub plot romance - I am looking forward to that as well.
3. Some set up for Elain and Elucien maybe even a bonus chapter.
4. This is more a crack theory so far but I am guessing Nesta or Az will join the world walkers club.
I know these are very basic dot points ... I promise to make more detailed posts later , I am really short on time at the moment but I wanted to answer these 🤗.
Also, I will be tagging this Elucien since it does include details about Elucien ( I don't care about what any owl thinks about it )

Gwynriel Family
This artwork is just so wholesome and perfect with the way Azriel is looking at Gwyn while Gwyn is looking at their twin children who are a perfect blend of them both 😍
Also, the little baby toys are to die for 💖

Gwyn whispered, “I am the rock against which the surf crashes.” Nesta straightened at the words, as if they were a prayer and a summons. Gwyn lifted the blade. “Nothing can break me.” …
Emerie said, “Nothing can break us.”
The world seemed to pause at the words. As if it had been following one path and now branched off in another direction. In a hundred years, a thousand, this moment would still be etched in his mind. That he would tell his children, his grandchildren. Right then and there. That was when it all changed.” …
Nesta’s voice was thick as she declared, “Valkyrie.”

A commission for a Court of Whispered Melodies made by @lucielart
Tumblr media
I am so excited to finally share this commission made by the super talented @lucielart. Be sure to check her out on Instagram!
For day 7 @gwynrielweeksofficial - healing
The vision for the piece was inner calm, rest, peace.
I believe they will be each other’s safe spaces through their mutual understanding of hurt and trauma. Azriel will be finally able to breathe and lay down his head to rest as Gwyn watches over him. Azriel will help her realize her own strength and resilience.
I can’t wait to explore this theme and their journey in the fic. Read the first three chapters on AO3.

Azriel: I’d like to see you try
Gwyn: Friday. 6pm. The usual place
Azriel: Deal. Loser pays for dinner and drinks at Rita’s later
Cassian: Can’t you guys just ask each other out normally

"I am the rock against which the surf crashes. Nothing can break me." & "Our stories are worth telling" - Gwyneth Bedara
Tumblr media
Art is by ttsukinoie
This woman is freaking amazing and badass.
She saved the children at Sangravah even though it led to horrific trauma for her. Trauma she is still learning to heal from.
She spent two years in the library slowly healing and braved the outside world to become the first Valkyrie to be rebirthed. Her putting her name first on the training sign up sheet showed incredible bravery and strength that led to other priestesses joining the training. What a moment!
She braved the outside world to be by Nesta side in a moment Nesta needed her friends the most.
She displayed skills of spying when she was in the tree for two days watching the beasts and learning their movements and led them to the men's camp.
She told Nesta and Emerie to cut the bridge down to save them knowing what it would mean for her once the men got to her.
She participated in the Great Rite & won to become one of the first Carythian women in history 🏆
Her story is far from over. In fact, it's just beginning and I can not wait to see more of her and what all else she will and can do.

And then a few pages later in the same chapter she chose to point this out: (It is Gwyn’s breath)

I knew that Gwynriel was endgame.

Look, forbidden romance is nice and all but this,
“No,” Gwyn wept.
“No, I won’t. I’ll face it with you.”
Something deep in Nesta’s chest cracked. Cracked open completely, and what lay within bloomed, full and bright and pure.”
THIS is what I want for Azriel. Someone to absolutely break that dark mass of self hatred inside of him.
Not by him hiding, deflecting, brooding and trying to feel nothing but feel EVERYTHING.
To have that love that is so beautiful and unbending and show it off to the world. Like Rhys and Feyre do. Which Azriel himself stated is something he envies.

"Gwyn isn't important enough to get a book" "Gwyn isn't Azriel's mate" "Gwyn went back to the library her story is over" "Gwyn was just a side character to Nesta's story" Oh you mean Gwyneth Berdara, who is only one of 8 people who ever completed the Blood Rite? Gwyneth Berdara, who is now set up as a Carynthian? The same warrior status as Azriel? Gwyneth "See you tomorrow, Shadowsinger" Berdara. Gwyneth Berdara, who was the first to become a reborn again Valkyrie. Gwyneth Berdara, who wanted to wipe the smirk off their faces, specifically Azriel's. Gwyneth Berdara, whose story retconned ACOMAF, where Sarah rewrote the story so that it was AZRIEL who saved her from Hybern's soldiers. Gwyneth Berdara, whose voice made Azriel's shadows dance not once, but twice. Gwyneth Berdara, who went back to the library and Nesta thought to herself that it would be a shame for her to stay there forever. Gwyneth Berdara, who shows actual traits of being a spy. Gwyneth Berdara, who said our stories are worth telling. Gwyneth Berdara, who made Azriel's chest spark at the thought of her smiling. Gwyneth Berdara, who after the Blood Rite was taken to the River House where Gwyn says, "I think it took us where we were needed most." Gwyneth Berdara, whose paternal lineage is a mystery. Gwyneth Berdara, who made the world shift as she cut the ribbon? Gwyneth Berdara, who had Azriel watching HER with admiration and quiet encouragement Gwyneth Berdara, who made Azriel's shadows sing in answer to her own? Gwyneth Berdara, who is taking private dagger lessons with Azriel? Gwyneth Berdara, whose interactions with Azriel could've either never happened or happened with someone else. Gwyneth Berdara, who made Azriel the new ribbon. Gwyneth Berdara, who reached out her hand to Azriel. And that's what you missed on GLEE Oh and Yrene Towers is on the phone asking to speak with whoever says side characters can't get their happy ending.

Nesta: Azriel kissed you?
Gwyn: [hiding behind her hands] Yes.
Nesta: And you said… thank you?
Gwyn: I was nervous! He’s a really good kisser…
Nesta: [trying not to laugh] Well that was very polite of you.
Gwyn: [blushing like a tomato] Shut. Up.
