“Who are you talking to?”
“The light female’s voice had Nesta twisting around, stiffening as she found a priestess in the robes of an acolyte standing between the two nearest shelves. Her hood was thrown back, and faelight danced in the rich coppery chestnut of her pin-straight hair.”
Here is my drawing of Gwyn because I absolutely loved her. I’m not gonna lie, I definitely struggled with this because it wasn’t turning out the way I imagined and I really wanted to capture her spirit. But I’m proud of the end result and I hope you like it :)
Personally I think Gwyn sounds more like a Will-o -the-wisps ( spirits of air and light) than a lightsinger.
So ready for a chapter 54 revelation scene between Azriel and Gwyn in the next ACOTAR. I know Sjm is going to reveal EVERYTHING!! ❤️❤️
Just finished this piece with gwyn and azriel :)

Gwynriel FanFic - I think I lost our bet
Chapter 5 : Butterflies
Chapter Synopsis : Azriel’s thought process, And a bit T/W of Gwyn’s past. Only one or two lines are there, but they’re there.
————————
Since the last few days, Gwyn had been sleeping in Azriel’s room. Everything had been going smoothly. Azriel didn’t have to awkwardly ask Gwyn to come to his room. She just automatically came, bid him goodnight, and slept on the bed.
Gwyn was a space - occupying sleeper. At the start of the night, She would be curled up on her left side, but when the sun shone through her auburn locks in the morning, Azriel could see her legs sprayed out, one over his leg and out of the blanket, and one in it. Her hands would he resting on her eyes.
Though Azriel always felt her leg on his, her body covering 70% of the bed (despite Azriel and his wings, Gwyn occupied more space) and giving him barely 30%, he didn’t mind it and neither did he need to tell her.
He actually liked it, it made him feel like someone was constantly there for him. Even if it was a small gesture like their legs touching each other.
Azriel used to wake up in the morning much earlier than her. He used to stare at her face for 5 minutes, like a creep.
He used to count her freckles. It was the first thing he did every morning. He sectioned her face and made it his goal to count at least the freckles on one part.
He knew it was creepy but it calmed him. He was also very thankful that his nightmares were at bay. He was glad to know that hers were too.
He didn’t know for sure if she had nightmares or not. Her beautiful peaceful sleeping face revealed nothing. But he knew that something as painful as that incident at Sangravah would give someone nightmares.
It gave him nightmares. Nightmares in which he wasn’t able to protect her. Gwyn’s sobbing voice echoing through his mind as a man thrust into her - “You weren’t fast enough.”
Azriel was taken aback when he heard Gwyn slam the door behind her and very angrily lie down on the bed. Azriel said nothing but watched her with a raised eyebrow.
When Gwyn didn’t tell him goodnight for another few minutes, Azriel knew something was wrong. Gwyn always said goodnight, even on the nights in which she came a bit late and Azriel was (pretending) asleep, he heard her whisper a goodnight to him.
“What’s wrong priestess?”, he asked worriedly as he lied down on the bed beside her. When Gwyn didn’t reply he asked again, it made him worry.
Was she mad at me? Did something happen? Did someone do something to her? No. No. She’s an independent women who’s very capable of protecting herself. But did something happen? What happened?
Azriel then went towards Gwyn side, and lent on her body a bit. “What’s wrong Gwyn?”
He heard Gwyn sighed and mutter a ‘nothing’.
Not gonna let you go so easily love.
Azriel couldn’t see her face, it was covered with her hair.
Azriel wanted to see her face. Her eyes, her freckles. Her pointed nose and crinkled eyes when she smiled. Her narrowed eyes when she said something egoistic and her rolling eyes when he said or did something stupid just to see her smile.
Azriel gently removed the hair from her face. She was lying on her side and facing the wall. When he did that, she didn’t stop it or flinch away.
She felt comfortable with me.
She didn’t look him in his eyes either. She was hiding something. Her eyes were a bit teary and cheeks a bit rosy. He knew she had been crying.
When Gwyn still didn’t look at him, he felt feeling in the pit of his stomach that he didn’t like.
He took her chin in his hands.
Look at me. Please. He begged her silently as if his sanity depended on it.
And for some reason she did.
She heard his silent plea. No one had ever heard his silent pleas before. They were ignored at the most crucial of times. The moments before which he knew he was close to a breakdown. He felt like this was one of those moments.
But now he wished that she hadn’t looked him in his eyes. Because his heart leaped in his chest for some reason.
His shadows had formed a crown over Gwyn’s head
And there were butterflies in his stomach from looking at the sight.
He gulped visibly and made sure his face remained neutral, but even he couldn’t hide the emotion from his eyes when he asked, “What’s wrong love?”
A/N : This has to be one of the best chapters I’ve ever written cause I just love it for some reason. Do comment if you like this type of writing ;)
Crescent City Book 2 can not come out quick enough..
I am having Bad Bitch withdraws already!
Gwyn, Emerie, & Nesta after
- Cutting the ribbon
- Completing the Blood Rite Qualifer
Me everytime Gwyn does anything:
I’m just going to say it….
I ship whoever will give us the rawest & spiciest scenes with Az..
Yes of course, I want him happy and loved but..
-I also want to see his darkness unleashed
-I want him on his knees
- I want his shadows to come out to play
- I want him consumed with hunger and aching to please
Emerie: We didn’t learn archery
Nesta: My sister taught me.. a long time ago
Azriel’s Shadows
Around Elain: Prone to vanish
Around Gwyn: They come out to play & sing
———————————————————————
I always took Az’s shadows disappearing around Elain as a good thing. That they trusted her and she brought a light to his life.
But reading how Az’s shadows interact with Gwyn is a whole other intriguing dynamic.
I am so invested in seeing how this all unfolds!
Nesta: We’re winning this fucking thing!
Nesta: We win to prove to ourselves that it can be done…
WE WIN THE WHOLE DAMN THING!
——————————————————————
All of us:
I have never been more attracted to Azriel than when:
We found out he slaughtered all the the Hybern filth hurting Gwyn and then gave her his cloak.
Gwyn sharing her story before the climb….
“Valkyries….Hell Yes”
_________________________________________
Me envisioning myself w/ the girls:
I have never been more attracted to Gwyn then when:
She awoke and led that beast to kill the Illyrian warriors that were trying to kill Nesta & Emerie.
SHE MADE THE CHARMS INTO BEACONS!!
______________________
Me: Friendship bracelets for the win!
“You already have your prize..
You just passed the Blood Rite qualifier…”
———————————————————————
Me:
…friends that have become like sisters.
A chosen family…
————————————————-
This was hit me hard. I am so happy for Nesta to find her people. People who make her feel safe, loved, and supported.

I have so many thoughts on this. Firstly, I think SJM is confirming there will be ACOTAR perspectives but not actually confirming that Feyre will necessarily be one of them (I could be wrong though).
Either way, I really, really fucking hope we don’t get a POV from someone we’ve already had a perspective of (*cough* Feysand *cough*). Their stories have been told, and they have their own series to be in the limelight. I don’t want SJMs works to just turn into Rhys’ world that we’re all just living in. Not to mention how incredibly jarring it would be if she follows her first person format of ACOFAS, where everyone else was in third except Rhys and Feyre. And, before you say I’m crazy, the scene from Starfall that she wrote about Aelin’s fall was taken out at the editor’s insistence because 1) having Rhys just pop up in someone else’s book wasn’t coherent and 2) suddenly and randomly switching to first person did not work.
I also want these series to be complete and meritorious on their own. If Rhys and co play such a large role that they’re instrumental in the defeat of the Asteri, it won’t be Bryce’s story, nor her triumph, anymore. I also feel for any readers in the future who will pick up ACOTAR5 and think wait what the hell is happening because of how CC3 has so heavily influenced the plot of the remaining ACOTAR books. Like okay, Nessian is happy and Feysand have a baby and I’m fucking sorry why are we suddenly discussing the multiverse and characters I’ve never heard of?
So, whose perspective would I appreciate, especially if we look at CC3 not just as a book in that series but also as a continuance/set up for ACOTAR?
Hello hello to my favourite character Gwyn. The one who has been researching the multiverse for years. The one who was featured in the main bonus chapter. The one who works in academia and would surely be familiar with the ancient fae language. The one who could use CC3 as a segue/introduction into featuring as a main character in the next ACOTAR book.

Gwyn : I am the most responsible person in this group.
Azriel: You just destroyed a very expensive and important piece of war equipment!
Gwyn: And I take full responsibility for it !!
Incorrect Quote
GWYN : Why are you smiling?
AZRIEL :Why, can’t I just be happy?
Nesta :Cass just tripped and fell face first over the steps .
One thing that excites me endlessly about Azriel’s book is the Autumn court drama add Gwyn to the mix we have some chaotic top notch tension and fun .
Imagine a dinner with all of these characters in one place ….
I have always wanted a commission of Gwyn in the library reading a book using magic… thank you @valkygwyn for the inspiration behind this concept.

There has been a whole war going on about Gwyn looking like Elain in art commissions and unfortunately I have spent some time sorting Elriel losers on Instagram for it .
Here is a guide based on CANON on the stand out features of Gwyneth Berdara.
Hair :
- Rich coppery chestnut pin straight. Reference chapter 9 ACOSF.
- In the sunlight coppery brown that looked like strands of gold glinting Chapter 25 and like the molten metal Bonus chapter.
Find the references for the range of hair colours that come under copper brown .
- This is different from the rich brown hair of Elain. Find the references to Elains hair as indicated by die hard Elain stans below.
Now for the eyes of Gwyneth Berdara
- Large teal eyes that glowed like the sunlit sea and was a perfect match to her invoking stone . CHAPTER 25 ACOSF. What teal eye colour would cover find a reference below.
- This is different from Elains brown eyes. Brown eye palette below for reference.
Skin
- Gwyn is described to having freckles . This can vary based on the attire being represented . Make up exists so just because you don’t see freckles doesn’t automatically mean its not Gwyn , use your brain and your eyes look for eye colour and hair colour or invoking stone . Just common sense basically.
- Elain most certainly does not have freckles.
Now, the whole idea behind this post is to shed some light on how Gwyn is represented in art commissions, please keep in mind the artist is allowed to choose from a wide variation of colours that come under the umbrella of copper brown and teal but none of them spell rich brown and brown eyes.
Have some basic decency and respect for art . I mean I understand certain people in this fandom don’t have any kind of decency right to their basic gene type but behaving with a certain amount dignity and class shouldn’t be that hard.
