Your gateway to endless inspiration
hear me out, a series of oneshots/drabbles inspired by She Wants Revenge songs
theres just something about them that reminds me of mareven so friggin much like "Nothing to Lose" just screams modern au
and "my love" uggghh
i swear just lemme survive these exams and i might just have the motivation
Do you think mare and maven were just trying to show there appreciation for the ides of march in the letter opener scene?
After much deliberation, and with many thanks to @lucy-the-cat I have come to the realisation that Taste is far better from the perspective of Thomas on mareven, love triangle fic based on this song pending…. (Dw the high school au is coming together nicely, I just accidentally wrote the second chapter first somehow??)
Maven would definitely sing taste by Sabrina Carpenter to mare about cal like,
“Oh, I leave quite an impression. Five feet to be exact”
“I heard you're back together and if that's true. You'll just have to taste me when he's kissin' you If you want forever, I bet you do. Just know you'll taste me too”
Like tell me these aren’t the sassiest most maven coded lines you’ve ever heard
(I tried to add some lines that I thought really screamed maven but then I ended up with the entire song so, yeah just enjoy these)
I wish mare had chosen maven cuz not only did it make more sense but they would’ve served so hard too, like mare could’ve pulled a Catherine the Great and overthrown maven but he could just chill in the castle and they’d still low-key “date”? Court? Get freaky? Either way they would’ve been such a power couple like attahshdbejdb
I have fallen down the incorrect quote rabbit hole so please enjoy the next few hours/days/weeks/months/hayoureallythoughtthiswouldeverendmwaha
Mare: Remember everyone, violence is never the answer.
Maven : You're right, Mare.. Violence can't be the answer.
Mare: Correct, Maven . Now, on to the next lesso-
Maven : Violence is the question.
Maven : And the answer is yes!
Mare: No, Maven no!
I forgot to mention all the parallels to shows as well, like with Macbeth, how ambition can be a curse, Lady Macbeth as Elara pushing Maven (Macbeth) then going kinda insane (seeing daggers, hearing his mother) and ultimately ending in tragedy
Or Les Mis/Cabaret, the people rising up (I haven't actually seen it but I listen to the soundtrack it's good and there are deffo some parallels)
Lmk if there are any more, my brain loves picking things apart and seeing how they fit together (I just got that english lit dog in me bro)
I wish in the RQ books they explored Maven's love for theatre, like it's so ironic how he says he loves plays and shows but then you find out his whole life is pretty much an act. I think it would be so interesting to know why he liked it too, did he like the actors ability to pretend? The chance to escape the real world? I was so surprised that VA like never mentioned it again, maybe because by the time we got to his pov so much was happening? but then Cal never mentioned it either so ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

I've come to the realisation that this is a hyperfixation atp so here are parallels/links/things that remind me of Red Queen (most are maven because ........ ) *update after i finished typing all this, they're all mavem .....................yeah, heh he heh hehhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhagaggaaahhhaaaahhhh)
Aegon Targaryen in House of the Dragon really really reminds me of Maven like especially the whole stealing your siblings throne. He also looks like how I pictured him too y'know (just really blonde)
Then of course theres King George in Hamilton, I'll send a fully armed battalion to remind you of my love like c'mon that just screams mareven
Mare and Maven in rq 1 reallllly reminded me of katpee (katniss and peeta) like a forced relationship, having to perform for the people, when I read rq the first time i was really hoping they would *fix* maven a similar way to how they helped peeta in mockingjay
Also girl on fire like....
This isn't all of them, but I'm in my any media I consume links back to maven calore, just give me a sec to work out the plot era
My mum gave me my laptop back *yipppppeeee* so I should have a fic out soon, but the poll is tied so I have no idea what to focus on 😭😭😭😭😭
I might put a teaser out soon…….
Also would anyone be interested in being a beta reader? I really need some construct criticism I’m losing my mind rereading this shsshhhhh

I just saw a fic where mare was in on mavens plan and they ruled together, it was really short, I’m pretty sure it was less than a thousand words but I’m low-key considering something similar but multi part, like a good long fic
Lmk what yall think

I have red all 176 mareven works on ao3 and I am not ashamed
Me: I wonder how many works this fandom has on AO3
Me emerging from the depths: what day is it?
