dark wings, dark words

I. INTRODUCTION

This is a roleplay blog for AELIN ASHRYVER GALATHYNIUS from Sarah J. Maas' Throne of Glass book series. I have no affiliation with Sarah J. Maas, Emilia Clarke, or anyone else. This is simply a private and independent roleplay blog and will be predominantly BOOK BASED; I have verses for every book.

II. SPOILERS

ARE NOT TAGGED. I am completely up to date on all of Sarah J. Maas' books, including the ACOTAR books. Spoilers will not be tagged for either and will be heavily present on this blog. So, if you're currently in the middle of reading the books and don't want anything spoiled, refrain from here for a little while! :)

III. SELECTIVITY

This blog is PRIVATE which means that I will only write with mutuals. This includes all starter calls, plotting calls, open posts, etc. unless specifically stated otherwise. However, memes, including in character or out of character, are open to everyone all the time, uncluding non-mutuals!
I also ask that the IM feature be kept for mutuals only, even though it is open to the public just in case. Additionally, my skype, kik, snapchat, whatever, is open to mutuals upon request.

IV. FOLLOWING

That being said, I will not follow everyone back. I will most likely not follow back duplicates of Aelin. Just because I do not follow back, does not mean that I 'hate' your blog. I like to keep my dash clean and organized; however, if you really want to interact, you can always shoot me a message with a specific plot idea in mind in order to change my mind. Additionally, it may just take me a while to follow back because I like to take my time to read through people's rules and look through their blog. Please do not repeatedly follow and unfollow me in order to get my attention, because I do notice and it does annoy me.

V. MULTI-EVERYTHING

Yes! This blog is multi-ship, multi-verse, and everything inbetween because crossovers are actually my favorite thing in the entire world. I'm a sucker for building ALL KINDS of relationships. And I do mean all kinds: childhood friends, neighbours who hate each other, longtime rivals, ex-roommates, friends from enemy families... you name it. If you've any interesting ideas for our muses, let's exchange Skypes or use the IM feature to scream headcanons at each other all night
For shipping, I do ask that the CHEMISTRY be there first and that we have been interacting for a while beforehand. This includes regular conversations between muns, as those build relationships without even having to write a thread. Honestly, just shoot me a message if you're interacted.

VI. NSFW AND TRIGGERS

Will be present on this blog. This includes sexual content, gore, dark themes and other possible triggers. I personally do not have any triggers but if we write together and something I post bothers you, feel free to send me a message and I will try to tag everything accordingly. Otherwise, the only tag I will be using will be 'nsfw'. I am over 21 years old, and I do not mind writting smut, though it is not my first priority unless we have been writing together for a while. I do not smut with minors, and I will check if our threads seem to be going in that direction. However, I'm also open to just fading to black or time skipping regardless of age.

VII. WRITING LENGTH

Will vary. Please never feel obligated to match my length. I will always perfer quality over quantity. Especially if our threads start getting extremely long, because I know those can be hard to keep going. So, as long as you give me something to work with, and vise versa, I will be more than happy.

VIII. OOC

My name is NINA and I'm from the United States, with my timezone being Eastern Standard Time. I'm a university student majoring in cell molecular biology with the intention of going to Physician Assistant School. I have a part-time job. I'm an equestrian and have been riding horses since I was a child, traveling all over the country for competitions! Roleplaying is my guilty pleasure I hope you decice to stick around. :)

Pre-Throne of Glass verse, based around the ASSASSINS BLADE NOVELLAS. Celaena Sardothien is Adarlan’s most feared assassin. As part of the Assassin’s Guild, she’s sworn to her master, Arobynn Hamel, yet Celaena listens to no one and trusts only her fellow killer for hire, Sam. Sent on daring missions in order to use and hone her skills, they take her from remote islands to hostile deserts, where she fights to liberate slaves and avenge tyranny.

Living under the name Lillian Gordiana, a common jewel theif, in order to protect her true identity as Adarlan's Assassin.

SO GIVE ME HOPE IN THE DARKNESS

CROWN OF MIDNIGHT! Based off Book 2. Bold, daring, and lethal, assassin Celaena Sardothien won the brutal contest to become his CHAMPION. Being King's Champion means doing his dirty work and taking care of his enemies behind the scenes. Yet Celaena is far from loyal to the crown. She hides her secret vigilantly; she knows that the man she serves is bent on evil. Keeping up the deadly charade becomes increasingly difficult when Celaena realizes she is not the only one seeking justice.

FOR ALL MY SWEAT, MY BLOOD RUNS WEAK

HEIR OF FIRE! Based on Book 3. Celaena Sardothien has survived deadly contests and shattering heartbreak—but at an unspeakable cost. Lost and broken, Celaena’s only thought is to avenge the savage death of her dearest friend.

THROW ME TO THE WOLVES AND I WILL RETURN LEADING THE PACK

As the kingdoms of Erilea fracture around her, enemies must become allies if Aelin is to keep those she loves from falling to the dark forces poised to claim her world. With war looming on all horizons, the only chance for salvation lies in a desperate quest that may mark the end of everything Aelin holds dear.
**DISCLAIMER: included in every one of my AU's is the option to have Aelin land in their world via Wyrdgate, ie. magical portal, if my existing background does not work for a specific plot idea. Please let me know if you would be interested in this option instead! Everything will still be tagged in the appropriate verse tag.

DRIPPING LIKE A SATURATED SUNRISE.

MODERN AU! 1) The Fae had always been living amongst the humans. Able to shift between their Fae form and their animal form, Aelin is lucky enough that hers happens to be human. As their supernatural culture has been hidden from the mortals for thousands of years, a secret world filled with many other fairytales lives within, only visible to those born into it, or granted access by another immortal. This verse is a play on how supernatural creatures are added into worlds similar to the vampire diaries, teen wolf, true blood, etc. In order to keep her royal Fae heritage a secret while in her human form, she goes by Celaena.
2) Aelin Galathynius is completely human, born into a weathly family with a reputation and world renowned corporation. After her parents were killed at a young age, she is taken in by a close family friend, Arobynn Hamel, who raises her to be the heir to the family name and titles ( through the way he wants it run ) she is merely his pawn until curiosity gets the better of her. She attends a prestigious buisness school and plays the pianoforte.

A ROSE WITH TENDRILS OF STAR KISSED NIGHT

ACOTAR! Terrasen, an old and ancient kingdom in the North, was once a part of the Courts of Prythian before the war against Hybern desolated the land and slaughtered its people. Aelin Galathynius, the only serviving royal and heir, disappeared and was thought to be dead. For the sake of this verse, imagine that Erilea is in one hemisphere of the world, while Prythian and Hybern are in the other. Rebuilding her country after traveling through hell and back, Aelin travels to the other continents in order to forge alliances for the many wars to come.

LIGHTING MATCHES JUST TO SWALLOW UP THE FLAME

RED QUEEN! Heir to Terrasen, Aelin is sent to Norta in order to forge an alliance between the Burner Prince and the Fire-Breathing Bitch-Queen. Aelin finds their continent strange, how the difference in blood can cause such a rift in the social classes. Betrothed to Cal Calore, Aelin makes it her mission to learn as much as she can about this kingdom and how to help liberate it.
( ship exclusive with @traiitorprince ! )

après moi, le déluge

REIGN! Aelin Ashryver Galathynius was born a princess to the royal family in Bavaria. This verse follows the canon events that affect her and leave her family dead, leading her to becoming one of the greatest assassins on the continent. After being caught for trying to take down the head of a drug cartel, she was sent away. However, when the threats at the royal castle in France grew, the Queen Catherine herself freed and hired Celaena to come to court in order to PROTECT herself and her family, most importantly the new King of France. Posing as a mere High Born invited to stay at court, no one knows of the secrets lurking in the shadows, and the assassin that keeps them company.
Under Construction.

“Aelin had PROMISED herself, months and months ago, that she would not pretend to be anything but what she was. She had crawled through DARKNESS and blood and despair-she had survived.”

BIOGRAPHY

( more information )

Aelin Ashryver Galathynius was born to Rhoe and Evalin Galathynius, the then King and Queen of Terrasen, in Orynth, Terrasen on May 3rd. For the first eight years of her life she lived as the crown princess and sole heir to the throne of Terrasen. It was expected of her to marry Aedion Ashryver, her cousin and confidante, to solidify the family’s claim to the throne. Her Fae heritage - she is completely Fae - afforded her some magical ability, in particular control over fire. It is this ability that led her to burn down part of the royal library, and encouraged a deep-seated fear of her Fae magic and heritage for most of her life so far. It is revealed in Heir of Fire that she encountered Dorian Havilliard as a child while his parents were on a state visit to Terrasen.

One night, the King of Adarlan decided to overthrow one of his major political opponents - the royal family of Terrasen. Aelin discovered the deaths of her parents when she climbed into their bed; she woke up to a maid’s screams and a bed filled with blood. The actions of the maid in facilitating her escape allowed Aelin to survive the massacre and bide her time. The King of Adarlan cemented his rule over Erilea by promoting across the country the deaths of the Terrasen nobility, all the while unaware of the survival of the heir. Arobynn Hamel, King of the Assassins, found Aelin half frozen and half dead on the banks of the Avery River outside the palace. He offered her a choice; to stay with him and be trained as an assassin, or to be cast off in the streets. Aelin chose the former and became an assassin, killing her first target at the age of nine. She was restyled as Celaena Sardothien to hide her true identity.

Celaena trained at the Assassin’s Keep in Rifthold, and it was here that she spent the majority of her life following the deaths of her parents. However, she was captured after attempting to exact revenge on Jayne and Farran for murdering her lover Sam Cortland. As a result, she was sent to the salt mines of Endovier and sentenced as a slave to reside there for the remainder of her life. She spent a total of one year in the mines before Dorian Havilliard removed her to compete for the title of Adarlan’s Assassin.
