Hi,I really love everything your write and wondering if you could do 141+Alejandro & Konig got heartbroken as Reader said no to their proposal of marriage then few years later they all realise that the Reader just want to protected them because the enemy was threaten them to kill 141+Alejandro & Konig?

Take your time and don't forget to drink water.

— Yandere TF-141 and König reacting to their darling refusing to marry due to being threatened

Warnings: yandere behavior, talks about death and torture, hints of sex, and kidnapping.

A/N: Aw, thank you <3. Also, I decided to change up your question a bit; I don’t think they’d wait a few years, so I changed it to: ‘When they find out after they’d kidnap the reader’. Hope that makes sense. Enjoy :)!

Captain “Price” John:

He’s confident; something a Captain should be. When buying the ring, he makes sure it’s all customized and liked to your taste – something he admires a lot. It’s a beautiful, classy Koa wood ring; stainless steel with gold specks.

When the time is right, and he’s on his knee, Price would be taken aback at first from your rejection. He’s quick to asking why, but with you dodging any of the questions and watching your nervous body language, he’s soon putting away the ring and distracting you with your favorite take-out.

Reaching his breaking point and taking you away from the public eye, leading him to finding the reason you denied the marriage, Price is… angry. His hands tighten into white fists, his threatening tone asking ideas and clues on if you know it is.

When words slur out of your mouth, he’s telling you to stay clear upstairs. A kiss on your forehead as a promise to be back before 8. Before you know it, you’re awakened by the front door opening and slamming, his recognizable boots storming into the bedroom as he huffs and pants.

John never told what he did, and he didn’t have to. Not with the way his beard was stained with blood, his tactical gear and guns stained with… gore.

Days later, the news began talking about a gorey show; images of those enemies, and classified information on how they were killed due to the inhumane ways of torture. A pang of relief and a slight hint of fear. He was inhumane. But he did it for you, it shows his love and obsession.

—

Simon “Ghost” Riley:

Marriage is big for Ghost. A big commitment. But, something he wants and needs with you. Marriage binds people together, and he would make you officially his. The ring is simple, but gorgeous enough. It’s hand-made, made in thick black gold with Moissanite Celtic jewels; engravings of vines.

The moment he passes the box while eating after a particular romantic act, Simon is holding your hands as he whispers the works – he’s hopeful and nervous; ready to slide the hand-made ring he worked months on onto your promising finger.

But the moment you reject him, he will become quiet. He would just stare at you confused, not wanting to believe that he heard that right. But once the situation settles in, it will get uncomfortable and awkward. Simon will simply nod, before sliding it back into his pocket and finish eating – doing the dishes and heading off for the night, not looking or speaking at you.

Though, the minute he makes you permanently his, figuring out why you denied the engagement ring, Ghost becomes a brutal person.

His eyes are darker. Nothing is in them. He’s demanding, using his Lieutenant voice to ensure you stay here and do as he says while he leaves. A kiss on the lips and your forehead was comforting, but seeing the rifle slung on his back wasn’t.

It had been days since he was gone. And ensuring you were okay, he frequently called you — his nicknames and lovely nicknames were a comfort. Though, the next day he returns, his mask sliding off the minute he sees you; his lips crashing on yours as he greedily picks you up.

Nothing of that day is talked about, but he promises you it’s fine, he took care of it, and you’re safe. Nothing can or will hurt you as long as he breathes against your lips.

—

Johnny “Soap” MacTavish:

Soap always dreamed of marriage, especially when you came into the picture. Days and months, if not years, going into the thought of the ring. He makes sure the ring is the most extravagant; silver and rose gold, an oval cut mixed with mossy green and pearly white. It has a crown, mixed with smaller jewelry all around the gemstone.

When he got on his knee and saw your nervous look, a shy shake of the head, his heart stopped. Johnny is in absolute denial, not even wanting to think that you just don’t like him. He blamed it on everything else. You probably didn’t feel well that day, maybe he did something wrong, someone else confused you now in your life. Due to his delusions, he didn’t fight against his darker thoughts, believing that it was all just for you and making you help to realize your feelings.

He didn’t get it. Why didn’t you want him? Though, he’s persistent. Leading him to kidnap you in the name of ‘talking things out’. Which, also, leads to him finding out the truth.

At first, he stared at you: a small ‘what?’ whispering out before his blue eyes going deeper in the waves, abruptly asking when it happened; bringing you into a bear hug as he promises he’ll take care of it and you.

The next day, Johnny is acting too excited and calmly — making you the biggest plate of breakfast, ensuring he doesn’t want any as he’s going to run some important errands for the team.

You don’t think of it, but something nitpicks your skin. You go on the day, doing chores and finally ending the night into a foamy, bubbly hot bath; alongside with your headphones and garlic bread. Though, you didn’t see Johnny coming in, wiping his face with a white towel, which is smeared with blood.

He jumps in, surprising you with a sexy gift, he says it’s deserved. And you directly ignore the stained blood; a naive thought coming in. Johnny promises over his life, that he’ll protect you — regardless of what happens, he loves you.

—

Kyle “Gaz” Garrick:

Marriage was something he didn’t know he could have – sure, he’s thought of it. But the preparation was longing, the tiredness of needing to see your reaction to the perfect bought ring made him smile cheekily. He wanted this to be perfect, just like you.

The ring he’d picked out was simple, but something you’d admire. It’s a thick, multiplied silver ring accompanied by a raw sapphire diamond, smaller stones beside the middle one. He made sure it’s a bit tight, only enough, so you can never take it off.

Once finding a romantic spot, breaking down to one knee with a flustered smile; the famous words of romantic promises being spilled out. But the moment you rejected him, it was all very awkward. Gaz, is heartbroken, but is overplaying his heartbreak; ensuring you that it’s fine whilst keeping a fake smile on.

Ensuring he’s okay, the outside seems fine but the inside? He’s calmly planning a plan – bringing you home gagged and locked in his home, forever.

His reaction to finding out why you rejected him, his face, is contorted into anger. An ugly feeling and look. Seconds later, his shoes were on and so was his mask. Just like any lover, he would do anything for you.

He gladly cleans himself up before coming home, his gentle smile and reassuring hug engulfing you. The next few days, he’s hovering and overbearing – his kisses and hugs too tight and rarely off of you.

From now on, he makes sure to keep intact with you – your freedom stripped away even further. He didn’t want you to see the TV talking about the cruel murder case that involved with all types of issues.

—

Alejandro “Colonel” Vargas:

He’s the most optimistic about marriage — he loves you. Has dreamed of it ever since he met you. The scenario’s coming in like ocean waves are peaceful to him; the big and special photos of you and him dancing at the ceremony, dancing at the picked song for the wedding makes his heart full.

He makes sure to take a long amount of time picking out the ring, something special. He decides to pick a glamorous, cubic-zirconia Heart. Made out of silver-copper, the gem is iridescent opal and shaped like a heart. Much like Gaz, he made sure the band had thorns — a promise of never taking it off.

Alejandro takes the planning seriously. He makes sure to pick a beautiful area, taking you out to an expensive dinner beforehand, before getting on his knee; his gentle smile and lovely eyes so wide. But, when you said no, his smile and excitement died down.

His face says it all: intense and scary. He’s mad, and immediately confronting you with a heartbroken look; Alejandro is asking why, why did you deny me? Don’t you love me? Did I do something?

This ends up with him remotely kidnapping you. But, when you wake up, he promises to take care of you — which ends up with him finding out the reason you rejected him in the first place.

Ultimately, his reaction is anger. His eyes widen, and his eyebrows furrowed; he asks you clues, giving him ideas on who it is. And when you did, he’s leaving — grabbing his boots, gear, and a promise of being back as soon as he can; a mission needs to be finished.

Alejandro comes back a few days later, arms filled with expensive gifts. His smile is welcoming, his eyes filled with love, and a bunch of kisses delivered with specialty. His whispers in your ear is a clear sign of perfection, nobody will hurt you.

—

König:

He’s excited. König’s been dreaming of this day, his mind replaying fake scenarios of him holding you after marriage. Your naked and sweaty bodies pressing against one another is the brink of his life.

Getting to the ring was hard. Not only did he want it simple and cute, but overbearing and telling you that he loves you. He picked on a silver ring, the band coppered and the gem a garnet. Beautiful designs imprinted in it.

He picked somewhere quiet, a date secluded for you and him; an area full of beautiful flowers and security, and a land of where he can take off his mask. Furthermore, he’s devastated when you shake your head. König doesn’t understand why you would reject him, and his mind begins stumbling with what he probably could have done better, leading him to have a good few days of snapping and rude behavior.

The kidnapping of you was easy. But finding out why you denied was hard — he was fumming. A pissed-off soldier. Even though he’s boiled, he takes care of you first, ensuring you are safe and loved on, and no he won’t leave. Not tonight. But tomorrow he will. He’ll take care of everything, just like he had in the past.

König makes sure you know he loves you and he isn’t mad. But he is to the enemy. He asks help, from a few friends and the team. He leaves with an excuse, and leaves stained kisses all over your neck; a promise of him coming back.

He called you often, reminding you that he loves you, and he will be home as soon as he can. Work is hard and okay. But, this problem will be fixed as soon as possible.

The minute he comes home, his attitude is more open; he’s clingy, unbearable, and always following you around. He’s never letting you out of his sight, König is your personalized guard dog — a constant reminder of who he is.

Was cc3 THAT BAD 💀

I mean, no? I think that it read easier than the first two books, and there were a few moments that I enjoyed…but the longer it was the lower my rating went personally.

I don’t know why I can’t get on board! Probably because Bryce as a character does not resonate with me.

Gonna put some stuff under a cut while I rant just in case so beware, kinda major spoilers below

All of these thoughts are my personal opinions obviously and I’m not judging those who love the cc series :)

I think SJM tries to make Bryce relate to a younger audience so half of the things that Bryce says/does to me are so cringey. And this could just be because of the modern setting, which I also don’t love, but like come on.

But like. To have no one die? The classic main character death only to be brought to life in one page? Fucking played out, who wasn’t expecting it at this point.

For all of her friends to conveniently become heads of houses or primes or super important rulers right as they’re about to go to war? Totally not cheesy.

I do enjoy some of the characters for sure, which is why I write for them, it’s the story that I don’t care for.

Like fucking SPACE?! That literally ruined the entire book when I read that line I was so disappointed. They killed two asteri and there wasn’t any other way besides putting them into a black hole that could’ve saved anyone?

Anyone being able to wear Nestas Mask? And put it on and off with ease when she struggles to do so? That was annoying too.

The convenience of any solution to any problem in this book…like blows my mind. You spent 1200 pages creating this world and every solution is readily available? I can’t.

Why bring the Harpy back only to kill her off in two paragraphs? Why weren’t Fury and Juniper in the books more? What the fuck is sunball? Why did they leave Baxian babysitting Avallen even after the war is over?! Bryce basically said yup, it’s all done imma go disband the Fae and live my life you all can figure it out? She only goes back there when she hears the Pegasus’ are back? Poor baxian honestly.

I hate the technology. I rlly do. The mech-suits? Stupid. The omega-boats? Why are they called that? I didn’t see a purpose for half of the things it just seemed fillery to me.

And this all happens in the span of one week…yeah okay. It felt like Bryce was in that cave with az and nest for three weeks of my life.

I just think the book is unnecessarily long. SJM loves to repeat herself 7-8 times, same sentences verbatim (because there’s 800 characters we have to get on the same page). If she cut out repeating these long ass histories the book would be a third of the length it is now. And I loved KoA but that book had better thought and planning put into it.

Lol it’s 5am and I’m ranting about CC3 ☠️ okay I’m done for now ily 💙

June 2022 Development Update

Hello, everyone! Koa here.

This is our first development update since the change of ownership and we are very excited to share what we’ve been working on. Here’s a quick overview of what we’ve accomplished this month.

Contest Winners

Our beast creation contest was a huge success. Thank you to everyone who entered! It was definitely hard to pick the final winners, so we have some honorable mentions as well.

Dragon - Stormy

There were a lot of amazing galaxy-esque entries, and we loved the beautiful astral look of this dragon. I really liked the day-turned-night feel that this design captures.

Griffin - Mewstor

The natural wild look and beautiful warm contrast of this griffin are what drew us towards it. It looks like something you’d see in the natural world (other than the wings and huge talons of course!).

Unicorn - Celi

The warm gold and rich blue really just work so well together. This design works both to represent a warm midsummer’s day or maybe a bright nautical seashell. Either way, it’s a stunning beast.

Quetzal - SilverSauce

The simple and striking color choice is just so handsome on this quetzal. I really like the use of galaxy to create those subtle freckles and shading alongside the ocelot.

Congrats winners! Your designs have been featured on our new homepage.

Honorable Mentions

DeepSea Dragon’s Griffin - We loved the subtle use of python here alongside the strong color contrast. This isn’t a color combo I would have thought of myself, but it looks so clean and strong on this griffin.

Zenith’s Unicorn - This Lisa Frank style unicorn pays homage to a part of my childhood I had nearly forgotten. I loved seeing the wide range of colors you can get on a single beast, especially that prismatic tail!

Qhersek’s Dragon - Very dark designs can often be tricky to do, but this one is so well done. I love the layering of python to create that subtle outline effect, it really just looks so nice.

New Homepage

Sark has done an incredible job updating & modernizing Mythaura’s homepage. This update brings us up to modern-day best practices and features a dark theme on the whole website. In the future, we will have both dark and light modes based on your system’s preferences. The newsletter sign-up has been fixed. We will be publishing future updates using the newsletter (as well as posting here of course), so make sure to sign up if you are interested in receiving those updates.

If you still see the old homepage when you arrive, please try clearing both your browser cache and your DNS cache.

Demo Overhaul

Not only did we overhaul the homepage, but the beast creator as well. The demo has a sleek new design that offers better responsiveness (you don’t even need to click a generate button anymore, the beast will change as quickly as you can change the inputs), fixes a slew of bugs, and repairs our code import system. Mobile users especially will have a much better experience with this creator than the last.

In addition, the beast creator now features details about the species such as a brief description and stat modifiers. Try it out for yourself.

If you still see the old creator when you arrive, please try clearing both your browser cache and your DNS cache.

New Colors

You may notice that the new creator has more colors available to it. We have rolled out a whopping 50 new colors for everyone to play with, expanding our color wheel from 125 to 185 total colors. Here are just a few of the new colors.

Behind the scenes

Our main focus for the month has been on upgrades. It has been a few years since the codebase has been worked on and since then, web standards have progressed. As such, we have brought Mythaura’s code into a much more industry-standard place. Here are just a few of the upgrades we have done:

Upgraded from Laravel 5 to Laravel 9

Upgraded from PHP 5 to PHP 8

Built a new backend API so that Mythaura can become a single-page application

Replaced jQuery with new React UI

Upgraded from MySQL 5.7 to MySQL 8

Overhauled authentication to comply with new security standards

Implemented a media server to serve images quickly

Reworked bulky sections of code

Implemented a queue system to run bulky jobs asynchronously

We have also successfully set up Mythaura’s WebSocket server. A WebSocket is a persistent connection between a client (your computer) and the server. This is a big step forward for us, as it allows us to start building real-time features such as instant messaging to other players, real-time notifications, and other game elements that require instant feedback such as our planned multi-player features.

This month, we also built out an achievement system. In the future, we will connect this to item rewards and a UI tracker so that players can be rewarded for their achievements once unlocking them.

What’s to come

Our artists have been hard at work drawing NPCs, new specials, monsters, gear, a world map, and more. We also are focusing quite a bit on the breeding and inventory systems next month. We look forward to updating you on these features in future updates. On the note of artists, we are happy to welcome Munkeking and Kymara to the art team, joining our senior artist Luciellia.

About Patreon/Kickstarter

We’ve got a lot of questions about when we will have a Patreon or Kickstarter up to fund the project. We’re so thankful and humbled that so much of this community wants to support Mythaura’s development! We have set up a temporary Kofi donation site where you can donate to Mythaura’s development if you’d like. These donations will be used for paying server fees and for funding art assets. Supporters will be eligible for a special role & channel on our discord channel if they so choose (this will not replace any of the existing Patreon roles present on the server). Both existing Patreon sponsors and new Kofi supporters will be eligible for potential art streams and early WIPs.

Thanks, everyone! See you next month for another update.

[At the Alterna base...]

"Has anyone seen Three? He should have been here a while ago..."

"Nope."

"No, ma'am..."

"Do you think something happened?"

"Well, I don't call these NSS meetings very often and I gave everyone plenty of time to prepare, so he'd better have a good excuse for--"

[As if on cue, Dion hastily arrives at the base.]

"Sorry I'm late! Something came up and I couldn't ignore it..."

"Mind telling me why you made us wait almost forty-five minutes for you?"

"...Mother and Father called, and they wouldn't let me--"

"Hold up. Did you just say "mother" and "father"?"

"Uh, yeah? What's wrong with that?"

[The other Agents snicker a little.]

"You sound like a pampered little prince, talking like that!"

"What?! I'm not a--It's just how I was raised!"

"But hearing that from you is so weird!"

"It does sound out of character, doesn't it?"

"Are you kidding me...?"

"Alright, alright. Let's just get this meeting over with so His Highness can be on his way..."

"Not you too, Captain!!"

Why does sjm do this?

ACOTAR to ACOFAS was 1 year

ToG to KoA was also only about 1 year

I'm in chapter 8.

The Summit only happens every 10 years. But I know the climax of this book happens around the same time as the Summit so

are you telling me that most of this 700+ page fantasy romance happens in a month? Whyyy?

Visitors (a 65 story) Chapter 9: Redemption

Read Chapter 8

Pairing: Captain Mills x Fem Reader

Fic Summary: 65 million years ago, Captain Mills (played by Adam Driver) crashes a passenger transport ship into Earth during the Cretaceous period. You are among three survivors of the crash. Together with Mills, you must make your way to the only shot of extraction through an unknown terrain riddled with deadly prehistoric creatures.

Fic Masterlist

Read on Ao3

___

You

The damage of the original crash was brutal, but the sight of this scene stole the air from your lungs. The back half of the ship had collided with the side of the mountain, sending the remaining unoccupied cryochambers pierced straight into the sharp rocks that jut from the cliffside. You force a painful gulp and send a prayer of gratitude that your chamber was not among them.

Careful to avoid the blunt shards of metal and glass, your group slowly moves through the crash site. Koa hesitantly peers into every chamber that you pass, your heart sinks at the realization of what she’s looking for. Unsure how to break this news to her, you shiver and continue following Mills into the dormant escape pod.

He struggles to open the hatch, eventually opting to shove into it with his unwounded shoulder. The inside of the pod is remarkably intact, lights whirring to life when Mills flips the switch. The pod is small, containing a narrow hallway with two small adjoining rooms that lead to a modest cockpit holding two chairs and a basic switchboard.

You notice Koa enter each room and frantically search it, her big eyes now filled with tears. You move toward her and try to find the right words to say when Mills calls you from the cockpit. Stepping away for a moment, you enter to see him leaned back in one of the chairs, both hands running through his hair.

“The transmission was received,” He tells you, a glimmer of hopefulness in his voice that you haven’t heard before, “They sent an extraction point for us.”

He looks up at you, now standing beside him with an arm resting against his chair. His eyes shine and he breaks into a wide grin. You match his grin and melt at the sight of his eyes, every muscle in your body seems to relax for the first time since starting this journey. He breaks your gaze to peer behind you, looking for Koa. She isn’t there.

“Koa?” He calls, lifting from his chair and following you into the hallway. You quickly search the small pod for the girl and when you don’t find her you both rush outside. By one of the mangled cryochambers, she sits on the ground with her face in her hands.

“...Koa?” You prod, squatting down to match her level and resting your hand on her shoulder. She yells something forceful in her language and shoves your hand off her shoulder. She jumps up and turns to run from you, which leads her smack into Mills.

“Whoa, whoa.” He clamps his hands onto her shoulders, stopping her in her tracks. She thrashes around but he holds her still. She starts to weakly punch against his stomach,

“Fetah-lay ahh kot’la!” She squeals between throws, “To ada lukde! Mo-nah fetah-lay oh wann!”

She begins to sob and falls into his arms, soaking his shirt with tears. He holds her close, one hand rubbing small circles on her back. When her cries turn into soft hiccups, he lowers himself to his knees and swings off his pack. Searching around, he pulls out the small photograph you saw on the ship.

“Mo…nah fetah lay.” He repeats to her the words she’s spoken so many times. He points to his daughter, “Nevine. She was my daughter. My fetah-lay. I lost her.”

Koa sniffles and softly strokes her finger over Nevine’s face, recognizing her from the hologram. She reaches her arms around Mills’s neck and hugs him tightly. You notice quiet tears slipping down his face. “I’m gonna get us out of here. I promise.”

A large boom suddenly shakes the ground you stand on as a fragment of the asteroid slams into the mountain. The escape pod groans as it shifts from the movement. In a single swoop, Mills takes Koa into his arms and catches you by the elbow to pull you both into the vessel.

He carries Koa into the cockpit and starts firing up the engine as you struggle to seal the hatch behind you. When it finally clicks, you stumble down the hall and into the other chair, scooping Koa into your lap and strapping the belt around you both. Mills flips on switches and pulls levers, the banged up ship struggling to return to life. He starts to pull back on the thruster when a large fiery rock shatters into the cliff just below the escape pod.

Mills swears and Koa screams, all you can do is watch in horror as your ship slides forward off the cliff, flipping end on end and snapping every tree it passes in half. Before you can feel the sensation of slamming into the ground, you black out.

____

Mills

He wakes to the feeling of blood rushing to his ears, his heartbeat thumping through his skull and an overwhelming pulse of pressure behind his eyes. When he pulls them open, he’s confused by his surroundings until he realizes that the flaming trees he can see through the escape pod’s window aren’t upside down, he is. His body pulls against the seat’s restraints as he hangs from it, craning his neck to see you and Koa also hanging from your seat, unconscious.

The pod must have completely flipped as it fell, at the very least damaging its landing gear and possibly compromising the engine altogether. A wave of hopelessness hits him when he can’t think of any logical solution to this. There’s just no feasible way for the pod to take off from this position, the control panel sounds out in agreement with him as when he reaches down to run system checks.

Just as he thinks this situation can’t possibly get worse, a blood curdling roar shakes the pod. Mills swears and flips off his restraints, sending him crashing down onto the ceiling. From this angle he can see the monster clear as day. It was the same creature that hunted them further into the cave earlier that morning, now completely lit by sunshine and fiery rocks hurdling around it. The sight of the beast is bone chilling. It towers over the escape pod, dwarfing the ancient oak trees in its path. Its beady eyes are fixed right back at Mills, sizing up its next meal before it begins to trot towards them.

The only thing Mills thinks to grab other than his weapon is a small pack of emergency flares, stuffing them into his belt. He turns to look at you and Koa again, closes the gap between you and softly runs his hand along your tattered and pale cheek, tucking a strand of hair off your forehead and behind your ear so he can finally give into his urge to place a soft kiss there. Your eyelashes weakly flutter open at the sensation, but Mills wastes no time as the monstrous thumping footsteps draw closer. He pries open the escape hatch and slides out of it, shoving it back in place behind him.

The beast sends a guttural roar into the sky as he approaches the escape pod, and Mills aims for its dead eyes, sending three shots and rendering the creature half blind. It screeches in pain and shifts away from the pod and towards its attacker. Mills continues to fire shot after shot, some piercing flesh and some bouncing off the beast’s hard amorous skin. After one precisely aimed shot, the weapon starts to click in response to his trigger finger. He yells and throws the uncharged weapon towards the monster in a sad last attempt. It clangs against one of the beast’s giant legs and then ultimately gets smashed under a several-ton footstep.

Satisfied that the man is no longer a threat, the colossal creature turns back to its original prey.

“NOOOO” Mills wails, helpless as the monster knocks its hard jaw against the escape pod, rolling it into a nearby tree. Its unthinkably large mouth is big enough to hook both sides around the pod, lifting it off the ground and shaking it around like a toy. Feeling useless without the loaded weapon, Mills is suddenly struck with inspiration. He strikes one of the flares against his belt and holds it high above his head, waving it and screaming until his voice cracks.

The beast turns back and seems to be transfixed by the red glow. It drops the escape pod from its mouth with a thud, somehow in the process flipping the ship back around. Mills laughs partly at the absurd chances of that, and partly at his relief in knowing you’ve got one last chance of escape. His mind is made up with his role in this mission, and he feels he’s succeeded. He’s gonna get you both out of here.

Still holding the flare high, he bolts in the opposite direction of the escape pod, leading the monster away and into a nearby field of geysers.

____

You

Floating in and out of consciousness, at one point you remember the feeling of soft lips against your forehead, and glancing up into Mill’s deep brown eyes. That couldn’t be real, you tell yourself you must’ve hallucinated it and based on the fact that you’re hanging upside down in an escape pod after blacking out from sliding down the side of a mountain, a hallucination doesn’t seem too far fetched.

When you finally take in your situation, you try to lift Koa and pull her weight off the restraints, your right hand weakly reaching for its clasp. Before you can open it, your attention is pulled by a powerful roar followed by a sharp “NOOOO” close behind. You can’t make out everything through the window from this angle, but you do notice large clawed feet stomping in your direction.

Panicking, you pull Koa’s head back against your chest just in time for something to slam into the side of the ship, sending you rolling backwards and pounding your head against the hard headrest. The owner of those claws squats down to meet your eyes through the window, and before you can process what’s happening it pries its wide jaw open and around the escape pod, lifting it into its mouth.

You’re too shocked to even scream, so you shut your eyes and try to steady your breathing as you and Koa are rocked side to side while the beast toys with your ship. Before long you’re suddenly dropped back to the ground with a thump, but this time you’ve returned right side up. You chuckle a little at that resolution, and finally release the clasp on your restraints. Koa is coming awake when you ease her back into the seat, her small hands coming up to rub her eyes as if she’s just had the most bizarre dream.

You flip some controls on the panel that are frantically beeping, and take a look out the front window with this better vantage point. Your mouth falls open as you do.

“What is he-” you ponder when you see Mills bounding past the treeline with a lit flare in his hand. The puzzle pieces slide together in your mind when you also spot the creature that once had you locked in its jaw, now following the glowing red light.

“...Oh no.” Your hands clamp over your mouth, and you feel a pull against your pant leg. Koa is beside you, witnessing the same rescue scene, and looking at you inquisitively. The control panel beeps a warning that the extinction event has begun, and the extraction point coordinates are locked in. You’re hit with the realization of the decision that you now face.

____

Mills

He decides not to look back, it would only complicate things and slow him down. He focuses all the willpower he has left dead ahead, carrying him through the treeline and into the large clearing before him. The monster’s strides had to be ten times his own, but it’s also carrying ten times the weight. And Mills knows he can outsmart it.

He weaves around fallen trees and then hears them crunch under giant feet. He leaps over what he now recognizes as a mud trap, idiotically landing on unbent knees and cracking joints in the process. Mills cries in pain but refuses to slow down. He has to get the beast far enough away for you to make a safe take-off.

The monster has no sympathy for the man's injuries, and takes an extra long step over the mud behind him. Mills spots the smoking geysers ahead, so he weaves through them and frantically searches for one about to blow. He spots one and angles towards it, leading the beast with the flare high in the air.

The geyser begins to sputter, and Mills vaults himself over it, crashing to the ground on the other side. The flare goes rolling beside him, sizzling out. The geyser spews boiling liquid high into the sky, and his view of the beast is completely blocked. He breathes heavily in anticipation, thinking it was caught in the hot eruption. When the spray begins to thin, the mammoth head of the beast peaks through it, growling at Mills and now only more angered.

Mills scrambles to his feet and takes off running, now to the left towards another geyser that begins to spit. He doesn’t make it in time, sliding to the ground as it erupts so he doesn’t launch himself into the molten liquid.

Now pinned to the ground with no other options in sight, he searches the sky behind the monster, looking for a launching escape pod or even the smoke trail of one. He sees nothing. Did he not give you enough time? Was the ship too damaged to fly? Did you black out again? He chokes out a sob at the notion that he didn’t get you and Koa off this planet. This whole journey was for nothing. You would’ve been better off without the false hope of a second chance, without his empty promises.

The monster stalks towards him, eyes glowing at the satisfaction of finally hunting down its prey after such a chase. Mills forces his eyes shut and prays for a relatively quick death when he suddenly hears the quiet voice of his precious daughter.

“It’s just like yours, daddy! I love it!” Nevine giggles. He has to blink several times before he registers that this isn’t some sort of dream his brain has decided to show him at the end of his life, but Nevine is really there, in her star dotted pajamas flying that familiar spaceship toy. She sits cross legged on top of a nearby geyser. Further cementing the fact that this is real, the monster’s attention is also drawn over to the small girl. It loses interest in Mills altogether, now stalking towards the innocent young thing that calls out to its father.

When the geyser begins sputtering, it seems to go straight through Nevine and she’s completely unaffected by its heat. She just sits there smiling in the middle of the chaos like an ethereal little angel. The beast puffs a breath out and lunges back, finally leaping towards a meal. As it does, the geyser shoots into the sky, sending pressurized boiling liquid straight into the soft underside of the creature. It roars in pain, the skin on its neck and stomach melting away as chunks of its scaly armor rain down with the geyser’s spray. When the liquid stops shooting into it the beast slams onto the ground, bloody and steaming.

Stood behind the fallen creature is Koa, holding the communicator that still projects the hologramed image of Nevine onto the distant geyser. Holding Koa from behind is you, chest rising and falling heavily as you stare at him, every conceivable emotion held right in your eyes.

____

You

You see him from behind the dying creature. His mouth is agape, and he starts to push up on his forearms and lug himself onto his clearly injured legs to hobble towards you. You drop your arms from around Koa and begin walking to him like you’re in some kind of trance, the events of this journey weighing heavily on you both.

When you meet he pulls you into his arms. His wide shoulders feel like coming home, and his tight grip makes you feel like you never want to leave it. You bury your face into his neck, releasing the tears that have been held back for days. His large hands pull you deeper into him and he kisses the top of your head like you belong to him. You feel his own tears landing in your disheveled hair.

When his arms loosen enough for you to lean back and meet his eyes, your gaze only settles for a second before his lips crash into yours. The kiss is tender but needy, he inhales at the feeling of your soft lips on his. His hands reach for your waist to try and pull you in closer somehow. You’re completely drunk on this moment and start to deepen the kiss when Koa protests, “Eya-ka…home!!” You pull from Mills to see Koa beside you, with both hands sassily placed on her hips as she scolds you.

You laugh and look back at Mills, now with softer eyes and puffy red lips. He snickers at her and ruffles her hair with his hand. His other hand finds yours and entwines your fingers together.

You all have almost forgotten the desperate situation until a rogue chunk of asteroid lands a few yards from your feet, shaking the ground and setting off a few geysers. Your smile drops and you reach to grab Koa’s arm, leaning down and pulling her onto your back. Mills is in no shape to carry another person, and so you hook an arm out to help him steady himself too as you both run as fast as your battered bodies will take you.

You avoid flaming rocks and rubble through the clearing, and take a slightly longer path through the treeline to avoid the spreading fires. Picking up the pace even faster when the escape pod comes into view, your group bolts, afraid of running into more unsavory creatures if you slow.

When you reach the pod, Mills wrenches the hatch open and you lift Koa through, following her in and pulling her into your chest once again as you strap the two of you into a seat. Mills buckles his restraint and flips switches above his head, causing the engine to rumble and start up. He presses a few buttons and locks in the coordinates, pulling the levers back and slowly lifting the escape pod off the ground.

You take a deep breath and hug Koa closer, watching the ground get further and further away as you return to the view you once saw on the top of the mountain. The ship’s thrusters engage and you soar into the sky.

Slightly to your right through the window you see an impossible sight. The far away threat is now entering the planet’s atmosphere as you’re exiting it. The asteroid is the size of most moons, blazing blue and red flames as it careens down to destroy the landscapes you traveled through.

You don’t know if it’s more reassurance for you or him, but Mills reaches out a hand and grasps yours, squeezing it and rubbing his thumb along your knuckles. Your body relaxes at the sensation and you turn your focus back ahead, into the growing darkness of space and toward the distant carrier ship that sits waiting for extraction.

I have seen so many comments about CC3 and how Aelins going to wipe the floor with Rhysand because of what he did in ACOSF and it’s so funny due to two reasons.

1) Aelin wipe the floor with Rhys? Mind you high lords are much more powerful than common fae (which Aelin) is. Then on top of that, Rhysand is described as being so powerful, that him to the other high lords is like a fae to a human. Do I think Aelin at the beginning of KOA could wipe the floor with him? Yeah. Do I know Aelin at the end of KOA could even come close to defeating him? No. Let’s be fucking forreal. She’s a common fire fae. He’s a vastly powered high lord. This shouldn’t be a debate.

2) Rhysand hid the dangers of Feyre’s pregnancy from her while he tried to find every possible solution in order to protect her and prevent her from stressing out and stressing the baby out. He was going to tell her and let her make the choice but if there was a way she and the baby could be saved, she wouldn’t have to make that choice. For 8 books Aelin hid things from her loved ones and friends for their benefit. She hid the fact that she was going to use Aedion as a sperm donor to Lysandra without telling him or asking him if he was okay with it. She hid countless things from her friends to spare them from stress because she was going to handle it. Aelin wouldn’t be upset with what Rhysand did in ACOSF because she’d probably do the exact same thing.

What do you really think about Aelin? Personally, I think she's really rude. I'm not staying this because she is written to be confident in herself. But I believe it is arrogance. We as an audience are gaslit into believing that she's just strong and doesn't take crap. But so was Nehemia, but the difference between Nehemia is that she isn't arrogant, but Aelin is.

Also there is the issue about her making "plans", that include no-one. I'm pretty sure that's not how you run things. It's pretty selfish to not tell anyone about your plans (like what happened to Aedion), and it's pretty selfish to be physically angry about someone who has a different of opinion than she did ( like Dorian talking about freeing manon in EOS).

Hahahaha, I’m sweating cold with this question because I have a feeling that when I answer, Aelin fans are gonna come for my head with torches and pikes. Still... ilysm for asking this, you're my crush, send you kisses and I agree with you on many levels.

My opinion: Its just too much to understand her anymore. It's like that movie, Split with James McAvoy. I heavily suspected dissociative identity disorder at some point 🤣. Aelin should be at least 45 to have lived all she has lived. It gives me the impression that SJM had to pick ONE main character for her fantasy books, either a girlboss pirate, a young assasin in a mens' world, a medieval courtier with a secret agenda, a gifted magician or a queen from a lost kingdom and she said "fuck it, i'll take them all". There would be no problem with this IF the character stayed consistent, if there were enough TIME but... SHES 19 IN THE FINAL BOOK. I mean...

Her personality traits just keep appearing left and right and us, as readers, don't get accountability for these new ways of behaving. She's feminine when it suits her but then bashes femininity in the next chapter. She's "one of the boys" but also a "girlboss". She's crazy and manic but also mighty and merciful. The only thing that remains constant might be her sense of humor. Her moral compass is a mess and there comes a point where she's truly unpredictable. It seems that she behaves according to what the plot needs in the moment.

For example; She's a girlboss feminist who is willing to teach Yrene how to defend herself and seems to have intentions of "empowering" women around her but then looks down on "soft" vulnerable women, rolling her eyes and mentally shaming and judging on multiple ocassions throughout the books and even saying things like (quoting one of her lines when she meets Philippa, her personal maid.) " Why send such a soft woman to serve her? She'd outpower her in a heartbeat". (And yes, Assassin’s Blade happened before TOG, is she evolving backwards?)

The books center so much in praising her through the point of view of multiple characters that we do not get enough introspection on her behalf. If anything we are swayed into a new tragedy/ battle/ moment of suffering where we only see her brooding over herself or past events as if making her suffer more and more somewhat was the way to revindicate her instead of her having a moment thinking to herself " well, I fucked up, things were not as I thought and I see it now".

Everyone owes her everything even if she was wrong sometimes and never accepted it. She has way too many life debts to call in the end and SHES ONLY 19. That’s why many readers felt in KoA that whenever Aelin and the plot hit a dead end, she just had to send a letter and 8 new powerful allies came claiming they owed her their lives. COME ON 😂 There’s a difference between writing fantasy and magically solving plots with unrealistic arguments.

I think what I hate most is the gaslighting of the narrative. as you mention. There are times where she's being arrogant, mean or condescending and instead of getting a REALISTIC and UNBIASED perspective we just get a Rowan POV chapter saying something like "It was not a plain woman but a queen standing before them" or "It was a queen's voice speaking" and then, as if it was not enough it follows another simping POV (usually Aedion) saying also " Wow, it was not his cousin speaking but a queen before them" like... NO STFU she's not right this time hahahah, and when exactly did she become so high and mighty.

Another example is how she fn ADORES to splurge on dresses on Assassin’s Blade but the moment she meets Kaltain and eavesdrop her conversation in the gardens Kaltain says that her own dress is ‘so old’ despite being practically new and Celaena’s reaction is ‘ugh, these air-headed women’ instead of maybe not pointing it out or even find it relatable. I know that this tells us more about Kaltain, so that we understand the type of person she is, but I still don’t like the harsh judgement Celaena seems to have about specific traits of her personality. Readers are gaslit into believing this change comes from her time in Endovier and now she’s so centered and appreciative and morally superior but THEEEEN in Crown of Midnight she LITERALLY DOES THE SAME, buying more clothes and jewels than she can wear, becoming suddenly a little bit cocky saying things like ‘ugh, these tacky clothes, I wouldn’t be caught dead in those’ . Come on girl, don’t be judgy when you’re the same.

I loved Celaena in Throne of Glass (BOOK 1) . Up until this point it was a tight character, I liked her personality, her internal monologue was funny and relatable. The events that had happened in her life were somehow believable (even if it’s a fantasy book) Her moral compass was clear for the reader and we had this concept of "rogue with certain moral values/ chaotic good" persona. When Aelin comes though... Idk anymore, It feels so inconsistent. She's just... everything, she has 8 different personalities at the same time, it's like she was an A03 fic and she had ALL THE TAGS, all the tropes. She gets away with the bad things she does too easily. In the end I was happy she was happy and never came to hate her but its just too much going on for one character.
