A Court of Gold and Gloom

Summary:

"Shadows may hide...but the light reveals all."

After the events of A Court of Silver Flames, Gwyneth Berdara begins a quiet journey of healing, strength, and self-discovery beneath the stars of Velaris. As her power awakens into something stronger than anyone could have imagined, and the Night Court’s shadows draw closer, an unfamiliar bond forms between her and the male who commands the dark.

A story of when light meets shadows, and connection forces healing. Gwyn finds her voice, and Azriel finds himself listening. Healing is never quiet, but love can be. Will Azriel finally open his eyes, or will he continue chasing what he can't have?

Be prepared for real yearning, angst, smut, adventure, and, of course, a slow-burning romance. I do support all three Archerons, so no serious Elain/Nesta slander. Girls support girls here.

P.S. Looking back, the beginning chapters are not the best as far as writing goes, but I have definitely improved. Just be patient, It's worth it!

Notes:

Thank you so much for all the love on my first post. Your encouragement means the world to me, and I can’t wait to share more soon. With that being said, I wanted to go ahead and move forward with something longer. I think I’m just going to go with it and use the ideas I’ve had for months. The vibe will be very similar to the oneshot; however, I’m going back to third person.

As of right now, I don’t think it will be super plot-heavy, but I will definitely be incorporating some ideas I have. This will focus on Gwyn and Az and the inner circle. It will be a slow burn because I can’t do anything else, apparently. Be prepared for lots of healing, angst, yearning, and eventually smut.

Happy reading, Lovies!

Chapter 1: NOT A CHAPTER - CHD PODCAST

Summary:

Discussion about the Call Her Daddy Podcast with SJM.

Notes:

Warning: spoilers for Crescent City

Chapter Text

WELL...We are getting two books! One on October 27, 2026 and January 12, 2027.

 

How do y'all think the Podcast went, and what are your opinions on where we stand as Gwynriel shippers?

 

SJM has confirmed that Bryce and Hunt are endgame (I never questioned that), but she stayed neutral when discussing Azriel. She did, however, have a conversation about mates in regard to Lucien and Elain, and I believe the word "explore" was used to describe Elain trying things outside her mate relationship...

 

I'm honestly so scared. I will read everyone regardless, but I can't lie, my heart would be broken if it's not Gwyn and Az. I've been very confident in my theories until recently, and now I'm second-guessing everything.

 

Anyway, I just needed to talk about it with someone, so let me know what you think.

 

Chapter 13 is almost complete, btw!
