In fandom lingo, shipping refers to wanting and advocating for a romantic relationship between two characters. Their names are typically meshed together into a portmanteau which becomes the name of the ship (think Brangelina). You will read things like “I ship these two!” and “I’m boarding that ship!” meaning the readers want to see the two characters get together. None of these have happened yet. Sometimes there are memes (le understatement).
The Book Devouring Horde has quite the naval force hehe.

The Metal Rose– the Capital Ship of the BDH. This involves Julie and Derek, and the name is based on the scene from Chapter 11 of Magic Burns, when Derek fashioned her a rose out of a metal coffee can and some nails. Julie has kept the rose all this time, but some of us have carried it in our hearts for 14 long years. Unsurprisingly, Team Metal Rose is pretty hardcore. We would actually go down with this ship. We won’t put our hands up or surrender. There will be no white flag above our doors and wow, am I dating myself.
I think probably my favourite example of how deeply invested people are in this ship was during the discussion that followed the bathtub scene in Blood Heir, back when it was a weekly serial. Speculation was rife whether he had seen the metal rose and therefore recognised Julie. And then, someone suggested that Derek would not remember even if he did see it, that it was just a toy, which he forgot 5 minutes after he made, because the scene did not have the same impact for him as it did for Julie.

Reeling and bleeding from such a vicious attack, Team Metal Rose picked ourselves up and countered with the theory that Derek probably fashions a metal rose every day he thinks about Julie. Every day. Somewhere in Alaska, there’s a Monte Cristo style cave, with hundreds of metal roses in it! Melodramatic, us?!
The few dinghies floating alongside The Metal Rose are Julie/Ascanio and Julie/Yu Fong the dragon. They’re…cute for trying. The Julie/Saiman water raft sank under friendly fire (as in: Kill It With!).
Karakun– the newest and most high tech of the ships.
Commander Karat of House Krahr, favourite cousin of Arland and best friend of Maud, has chemistry with none other than Dagorkun, the Under-Khan of the Hope Crushing Horde. We first met him in Sweep in Peace as the son of the Khanum, and he’s currently visiting Gertrude Hunt as observer of the spousal selection. All they’ve done was stare each other down and agree a couple of times in conversation, but if you’re a shipper you know that means LURVE.
Miss “I’m too sane to fall in love“. Honestly, it’s like she doesn’t know the romance gods are always listening and wants to tempt them!
Anyway, so the BDH thinks the wedding will probably happen in spring, the bride will wear on-the-shoulder syn-armour, and they’ll settle on the space station near Daesyn – because it’s neutral territory in the vampires vs otrokars feud. The assumptions regarding Lord Soren’s reaction when he finds out are getting more hilarious each week. Barrels of espresso might not be enough!
Michella– Arabella ships are the bread and butter of the BDH navy.
Partly fuelled by House Andrews who said that Arabella’s books, if they happen, would feature several possible love interests until she settled on “the One”, the youngest Baylor is shipped with a lot of suitors. The main ones are Michella (Arabella/Record Keeper Michael) and Jiarabella (which evolved to Jingllebella) for either Stephen or Henry Jiang, the Aquakinetic Prime sons of House Jiang. Or maybe a Madero, or the mysterious sibling of Pancakes Montgomery or yet someone new from Ruby Fever…but I have said too much.

All we know is that we want our girl to have her adventures and take us with her!
Penhiro– The ship that must be protected at all cost. Penelope Baylor and Benjiro Heart, Rogan’s second in command, have had a warm and delicate relationship slowly blooming between them. With whispers and careful steps around it, both the Baylors and the BDH want to nurture it at all cost. This one must never feel rough seas.
Recovered at sea– Thought lost forever or shipwrecked, Sweep of the Heart also brought to port, after many years but more awesome than ever, a long awaited HEA. I cannot speak its name here, because I know not everyone reads SotH in serial form and I don’t want to spoil them before the book is published, but it’s in Chapter 9 part 2.
Gorvar and Beast– Speaking of Sweep of the Heart, you (gender neutral) guys… I don’t know about this one. Brings whole new meanings to screwing the pooch (I’m incorrigible, I know!).
Auul Tzu puppies would be terrifyingly cute, though.
When evil things get injured, sometimes they find this ship: Not a BDH ship, this is my personal yacht, because Mod Prerogatives and all that.
This is Roman, Chernobog’s volhv. He likes his personal space.

I am Mod R. I *also* like Roman’s personal space.
Apparently, I’ll have to contend with some witch. Pfft. I’ll keep hoping for the NY Times bestseller Volhvs in Moderation!
Let me know in the comments which BDH ship you sail, or forever be known as a lily-livered landlubber hehe.


I haven’t seen a post about a ship for Cornelius! Is he too old for Arabella? Corella? Na, too close to dish ware name. Aralius?
Yes, Cornelius is far too old, and met Arabella when she was underage. He is confirmed not an Arabella potential https://ilona-andrews.com/2021/busy-busy/
Cornelius and the idiot fire guy’s sister (what’s her name again?). I feel like they may have bonded over her family having hurt both of them when younger.
Tatyana! So Tatnelius? Cornyana?
Well, if four years in the Navy in a Fleet Rate without stepping foot on a ship did not make it clear that I was doomed to die a landlubber, this does the job. (Even though I love the line “a tall ship and a star to steer her by.”) Aside from the obvious ones I have no preferences for them. And I truly loved the HEA that must not be named at this time. It was/is glorious.
May I bring Cornelius and Augustine to the table? Or the harbour I guess
+1 Glad I’m not the only one shipping these two 😀
Team Metal Rose all the way! Love these posts Mod R!
I am also in favor of Roman and Erra ship – Romerra!
Romerra! I’m dying! LOL!
Erra already has someone who is pursuing her (as much as she will let him)
This is just so funny! I love this post and the possibilities! I am also Team Metal Rose and I hope that whoever Karat falls for, falls just as hard for her!
Your drawing of you and Roman is the best! LOL!
It would be more correct to say “In pop culture lingo” instead, because shipping is not limited to characters in a book or movie.
Arabella and Lina, Augustine’s assistant … or is Lina really his a well placed sister? :O
Could be fun – at least for a fling and curveball for all the hotties!
This blog post made my day. Thank you, Mod R ????
And Team Metal Rose, duh. Like there could be any other!
Karakun would be a blast, just for the consequences. As far as I am concerned, Metal Rose is a must, Michella is really worth exploring, Michael being such an enigma, and Penhiro would be so sweet – Penelope deserves to find happiness again. So many possibilities, so little time!!!
I definitely sail the Metal Rose ship! But I don’t think the rose is as special to Derek as it is for Julie or us. He said in Blood Heir that she was a little kid and that they were a good team. So I think that he’s romantic feelings for her has awoken with Aurelia because like she said to him “That man didn’t want Julie Olsen, but here we are, with you staring at me like you need me to keep breathing.”
I also sail the Jingllebella ship, it looks like a mighty fine ship 🙂
In Magic Stars (? one of the short stories) he is immune to the enchantment magic because he has already given his heart to another. And this did not surprise him.
Ok, I thought it said that he belong to someone else and I wasn’t sure if it meant that he “belonged” to Kate (some lingering bond from the binding) I never really thought that it meant Julie ????
I agree- I don’t think the rose is as special for Derek as it is with Julie, but I do think he would be touched that she still has it. Derek shows Julie affection in his own way but I need Kissy face to happen before I believe that TMR has set sail.
KISSY FACE!
Absolutely Penhiro.
Karat and the female werewolf is my ship.
I am sailing with you on that ship! Although I am very friendly towards the Karakun ship as well.
Who else was singing when they read “ We would actually go down with this ship. We won’t put our hands up or surrender. There will be no white flag above our doors” ????????????
Team MetalRose – always and forever ????
Me! I was definitely singing along (and it’s still stuck in my head :-))
” Auul Tzu puppies would be terrifyingly cute, though.”
Or cutely terrifying.
IDK how spoilers are handled for books released in serial, because I understand some people are reading and some aren’t. But I just want to mention the items in this post regarding “recovered at sea” are a spoiler I wish I never saw :(. The original post alluding to a long-awaiting HEA (without clicking the link) gave me enough information to make an educated guess. Then there were a couple comments that all but verified my guess. I understand if my takeaway needs to be I just can’t have the expectations that things won’t be spoiled when a serial is going on and I need to avoid the blog. Just wanted to mention that this specific situation took me beyond what I would have wanted to know in a post that I thought was spoiler-safe. Will still continue to adore House Andrews and Mod R.
I’m so sorry Aly, I thought the comments were also vague enough. I will address.
I am sorry you were spoilered against your will. But I hop it’s a little consolation for you, that the story behind the recovered ship is fantastic and you will love it and I swear, you won’t be able to guess, how that recovering was done! Enjoy waiting for it ????
What about Lord Soren? He deserves love and companionship! Someone strong enough to offset the shock of his daughter’s intended…
What about Marland? The BDH started that ship the minute Maud decapitated someone in front of Arland during One Fell Sweep.
Yes, but Maud and Arland are pretty set as a canon couple. These are strictly those who have not come to pass on the page (yet).
Then I guess at some point you will need to cover the passed ships.
Team Metal Rose, ftw!
Karakun: Maud will convince the entirety of House Krahr that Lady Karat has executed the diplomatic coup of the millennium by assuring future mutual military and diplomatic ties between House Krahr and Dagorkum’s family. Then Dina and Her Grace will convince Khan and Khanum that Dagorkum has executed the diplomatic coup of the millennium for the same reasons. There will be some spectacular battles between members of the two families at the wedding, and the wedding will be remembered as the social event of the millennium, and everyone not in attendees will choke on their envy every time they are reminded they weren’t there.
I can see it now…..
Julek. Julie and Derek all the way!
Team Metal Rose is a hill worth dying on!
Penhiro makes my heart happy.
I am leaning toward Michella – Arabella needs someone whose magic is as intimidating as hers. But if someone new shows up in Ruby Fever, then I will have an open mind.
Roman needs a partner.
I also think Tatyana Pierce and Cornelius would be a good pairing.
wow, arch enemies transformed to lovers???!!!
I’ve always been a sucker for the enemies to lovers trope. ????
They’re not really direct enemies, more like enemies by association. Both were “victims ” of Adam and his mother–manipulation, cruelty, homicidal tendencies. I think the conversation they had during the swamp investigation showed each other their scars. Maybe not shipworthy but something?
So, is it a Tatyelius ship? Or Coryana? I like both names and would like a place on this ship. It would also be an interesting story to read, how this will come to pass ????
I vote Coryana!
‘Auul Tzu puppies would be cutely terrifying’ would be a great deal more accurate.
As to Derek not remembering the rose: Even if he doesn’t (which could have a lot of potential causes having nothing to do with indifference), judging from the multitude of artists and craftspeople who have passed through my life, he would damn well recognize his own work!
Oh, yes. I have no particular opinion on who Arabella ends up with, since my own personal favorite is apparently aged out of the race; but I want her to have her own trilogy.
Team Metal Rose always!!!
Can’t wait for Arabellas story, but right now I have not joined any ships yet. But I have this crazy idea that she will get accidentally pregnant, because of how she said she was never, ever getting pregnant after being with Nevada at the hospital. And I know that her mom and sisters will have made sure she knows all about birhtcontrol, but her magic is so different and maybe that would mess with it. Like I said, crazy idea but after her saing never, ever, ever, it could be a fun twist to her story.
Also more Roman please 😀
O.M.G Mod R, you have captured the flotilla nicely….although I think of Penhiro as a nuclear powered missile carrying submarine. After all, Pen is a distance sharp shooter (aka ICBM)and Benjiro is stealthily navigating the the mines…and the family can only infer what is happening below the surface.
And as a hard core Team Metal Rose adherent…Derek does not have a heap of metal roses, he has one…that as you twirl it between your fingers, it also reveals a profile of Julie.
Baylor women get their men, and I think that Jinglebella will rule!
The good ship “Unmentionable Here” must be a cruiser…Modern cruisers are generally the largest ships in a fleet after aircraft carriers and amphibious assault ships, and can usually perform several roles.-Wikipedia
It would be fun if, in some universe, We could have ArrrJack, where Arabella ships with George’s brother Jack (the cat shifter).
This bit was sooo much fun. Thanks.
I shipped Jackabella for a long time, just seems right, but no crossovers that’s way will happen, sadly.
Penhiro forever! Protect this Precious Pearl.
I ship someone awesome for Linus Duncan (Bern’s girlfriend’s mom sounded like a match). I ship parenthood for Ghastek and Rowena (can’t Hugh help things along for them? They need an HEA with triplets). I ship a retired NASA engineer for Mrs. (grandmother) Afram.
Roman Roman Roman Roman Roman Roman…
I just crashed on my couch, scrolled down my emails, and then found your post. You put instantaneously a smile on my face. Because, you know, you’re funny, and kind of amazing.
And then, gift of the gifts, a picture of Mads Mikkelsen. I’m like the biggest fan of the man, totally crazy about him. Like you with Roman level. So yeah I’m totally team métal rose, and team Penhiro, and anything involving Roman, but first of all, I’m a Mads girl. Just wanted to add my part, lol
Ok, first of all, the post itself is delightfully written and made me laugh several times, thank you Mod R. Now about the various boats floating around:
The Metal Rose is not just a ship, it is unsinkable tanker, people who see other sails on the horizon have been smoking something funny, probably.
Karakun is sailing among the stars with gleeful determination, much like Arland’s destroyer, and I’m all for it, mostly because i want to see what new and never heard of colour Lord Soren’s face will display.
As for Arabella, I think all of her ships will go Titanic on us, but that’s totally fine, we’ve had enough one true love from first book – give me hilarious aventures and I’m on board.
Btw, whoever came up with Gorver/Beast is loony and “screwing the pooch” keeps cracking me up.
Metal Rose!!!!
Also, I really really want a book or novella detailing the ship which was recovered at sea. Prettiest of pleases.
Loved this post Mod R! Thanks for keeping up the blog while HA is away!
Yes! It wouldn’t even have to be that long, but I would love to see thing unfold firsthand. I have a feeling it would be epic.
Anyone else want to sail on ship Romanna with me ???? (Roman and Savannah, from Iron and Magic) ????
yes! I’m there, although Savannah is going to be unamused by Chernobog’s pet snake. (Do NOT lick my face).
Team Metal Rose, since the very scene where he made it for her. But have a soft spot for Roman
I want to see Ascanio Ferara having to deal with Stella Davis.
Yes!! They would be a chaotic match, I love it
Karakun. Yes! Penhiro. Yes. My ship is Lady Wexyn and Resven aka Rexyn. *Rofl* I´m very happy because my favorite ship in KD series is finally canon. Nisandra! But I really need the details. Or at least Jim’s reaction. *Lol*
Rexyn ????. The mere suggestion would make him sick!
Or maybe Resven’s extreme aversion to Lady Wexyn is due to being spurned by her in the past.
I’m on a life raft loosely connected to the Metal Rose ship. These days my memory is not good enough to (somewhat) keep track of more ships then this one. Also I’m tired and words are hard.
Mod R, I hope you had as much fun writing this as I had reading it!
Now to start on 254 comments for something posted only a couple of hours. ????
Oooh, here is my ship : Johanna and Stoyan from Iron and magic. I have big hopes for these two.
Yesssssss! Me too! Can’t wait for him to court her in the Bulgarian way!
OOOOOH. Yes!!!
Team Metal Rose forever????????
But hey you forgot Desandra and Nick. And because of Desandra and Nick I am aboard Karakun. The sparks are there waiting to be lit. At least Karat and Dorukan aren’t trying to kill each other.
Oh the ships we sail!
Team Metal Rose always and forever. This is my hill I’m dying here.
Michella for sure
Karakun oh yes
Penhiro because they definitely deserve it.
Someone for Roman and a long awaited hea in swoth….could it be for W? I will wait and see but Roman definitely needs someone ???? someone cool.
I see the long awaited HEA in sweep ….that was something I was not expecting but love absolutely
I loved this post, Moderator R! I’m team Penhiro and The Metal Rose, but have to admit to being surprised by Nick/Desandra and would like to know how that came about.
Team Metal Rose 5eva!!
The ship I sail is definitely Michella – Arabella and Record Keeper Michael for the win!
Other ships I sail for are Team Metal Rose (Julek? Derrie?) and Karakun! And Penhiro! Not sure about Beast and Gorvar, more due to the size disparity than anything (that pooch would be screwed for sure, ouch!).
Also, you look lovely in that meme with Roman, Mod R… just lovely!
Definately on Michella! No… wait. I want to board the Metal Rose too! and the Karakun! OMG why are you making me choose?
Can LUTHER get some love?
He and Roman are Ready.
I want them both to board soon!!
OMG yes ! Ditto to that !
And what about Teddy Jo?
Oh, firmly on Teddy Jo and Sandra the Harpy land! https://ilona-andrews.com/2021/sandra/
Okay, you convinced me. Team Sanatos/Sandy Jo
Myths of a feather, flock together?
Team Metal Rose from Day 1!! Anything else floating in the sea will be left on our wake of inevitability.
Mod R! I’m shocked madame! Aren’t we keeping things PG at least? “Volhvs in Moderation” would be a very naughty title haha *in!* I love it! 😀
I’m down for all the stories and ‘ships that House Andrews will give us. ‘Ships like these are what fanfic is for. XD
PS- why is August so faaaaaaar away?!
It’ll be here before you know it!
“They’re…cute for trying.”
Made me laugh out loud.
Thanks Mod R, I needed that today.
I’d love to be on team Roman, but it can’t be a ship yet, because it’s just him. So I will go with my close second: KARAKUN. Loving them. <3
Team Karakun, but I am greedy, I want them all! Gimme, gimme 🙂
I loved this. Having read the blogs, no spoilers, but hope a more In Depth short story, whole novella or novel could be devoted to “recovered at sea”….
+1!
I am not a fan of team metal rose (cue the pearl clutching) – I would prefer both of them to move on.
I would love to see Karat and Dagorkun…
and of course: hope (or the dark god’s demands) springs eternal and I would love a Roman book.
Metal Rose foreva ! ????????
And Penhiro obviously, I want love and care and healing and more love ????
Definitely here for Karat and Dagorkin! Fun fireworks!
I would gleefully read another trilogy with Roman and…whomever pops their head up for HA to ‘discover’.
Arabella, please let her have snarky fun before the ‘one’. I want to enjoy her youth with her.
The Metal Rose all day long.
Also Karakun for the win!
I’m definitely on The Metal Rose, Penhiro, and Karakun, but torn between Michella and Jiarabella. I liked Stephen Jiang a lot and love picturing the scene when he jumps off the roof to save Marat from the Pit. But don’t we all love the strong silent types too?
sorry, I respectfully submit that the bouda courtship was EPIC. Andrea NEEDS someone who would ttuly understand the baggage that comes with being beastkin and Raphael needs a partner, not an adoring fan.
I love all of these and would gladly sail with any of these crews!!!
Can I just say that this blog post is EVERYTHING… just what I needed to put a smile on my face..
I am all about Metal Rose!! I have been finding it difficult to maintain decorum and not badger HA weekly, asking when we might anticipate the next book in that series. I am tied up in knots, waiting to see what happens next for Julie and Derek!!
I also find myself firmly behind Karakun. It has such a Romeo and Juliet vibe. ???? It also holds so many delicious possibilities with all of the family members from each side! Arland faced difficulties when he brought Maud (the human) home, but at least she wasn’t a member of the Hope Crushing Horde!! Oh the possibilities for drama that exist with Karakun!!! ????
This whole post was amusing as hell
Love all the ships
And so does Michael…don’t you Michael?
Definitely Penhiro and Michella for me.
#TeamMetalRose
#JingllbellaAllTheWay
#GimmeAllTheBooks
Team Metal Rose because Julie/ Aurelia andDerek deserve their HEA.
I’m not sure about Karakun. So far I see Karat and Dagorkun as friends and allies but not necessarily romantic partners. I like that Dina’s inn has become somewhere where members of rival/ enemy groups can forge acceptance of, and sometimes friendship towards, different “others”. So much better than always resorting to war to resolve differences.
Yes please to a Roman and Gordon’s “ that witch girl” story.
Some characters who I can’t ship yet because I haven’t seen a suitable partner among the characters we’ve met so far but whom I would love to see featured in future stories are Karat, Klaus, Gaston and Jack from the Innkeeper universe. Plus I hope Chef Adri produces a niece or granddaughter who could keep Orro in line. If we jump 20 years in the future than Helen’s adventures would be fascinating!
In the Hidden Legacy world I definitely want Arabella to have her HEA but I share other posters’ hesitancy about Stephan Jiang. He seems too preoccupied with family status to be accepting that under Arabella’s cute appearance is a ball of anger that manifests as the Beast of Cologne. I worry his family would see her as a monster and this would sour the relationship.
I do want Penelope to have her happy ending with Benjiro.
I would love to see Augustine in a tangle over someone ( Cornelius’s sister Diane?) . He spends so much effort presenting a particular image to the world it would be great to see him unravel over a love interest.
Plus Leon and maybe Alessandro’s sister.
Plus more Kinsmen please, especially Ramona’s brother Karion’s story. Hopefully the story will include some Easter eggs that tell us how Claire and Venturo and Meli and Celino are faring. Don’t know who to ship Karion with but his loyalty to Ramona won my admiration.
House Andrews has written such interesting worlds and great characters that I can see years of self published novellas exploring those characters’
adventures.
+ 1 on more Kinsmen!
Happen to be rereading Fated Blades, right.now.
Isn’t it the best on how they now us so well we will look for all and await for them and there joinery.
I ship all these ships & want novellas/series about them 🙂
Team Metal Rose and Team Michella. Karakun is sweet, but I feel like Soren and the Khan family are going to need an Arbitrator to negotiate most things, even simple questions like what happens if a major Vampire holiday falls on an Otrokar holiday? And don’t get me started about Soren and the Khanum as grandparents. It would be hilarious, but I feel for Dagorkun and Karat too much to give them that kind of crazy.
So. I am apparently one of the “cute” ones. I was shipping Julie – Yu Fong, as a step on the road to ultimate Julie – Derek.
And I have patiently been waiting for Roman’s ship for a long time now. I will steadfastly ignore that beach doodle.
Team metal rose.
Karakun. The Beatrice and Benedict from Much Ado about Nothing.
Yup – only with more swords and other assorted pointy bits ????
Mod R – thanks so much for this awesome post with pics. I especially loved the one of you and Roman. I am SO jealous.
Team Metal Rose all the way!!! Actually I thought this was a done deal, don’t know what I will do if anything happens to rock the boat.
Would love to have separate books for Roman, Gaston and Jack with their own ships.
The whole thing made my whole week, which has be shite!
But seriously can you imagin “Lord Soren’s reaction when he finds out are getting more hilarious each week. Barrels of espresso might not be enough!” Bhahahahah
Y’all are hilarious. I am sailing the Penhiro ship! Love that idea.
OMG – this was awesome – Team Metal Rose – I want to go to that cave in Alaska! 🙂 Thank you Mod R!
Roman, Roman, Roman! He definitely needs a ‘troou luuv’.
Also I think Gaston is worthy of love and humour with some saucy, possible cranky werewolf wench;)
Even if they are just tiny snippets, to allow us to completely go overboard with insane amounts of hope.
Karakun so far. I just think it would be funny because Karat didn’t seem like someone who was good at learning about other peoples cultures. Which means there’s a good chance humour would ensure. She might actually fit into Otrokar’s culture.
The biggest is probably because I really want to see how she’s gonna do with riding.????????????
Her getting accidentally pregnant would be… like… the funniest thing EVER! No?????????????
TEAM METAL ROSE 4 LIFE
Thanks for no Sweep of the Heart spoiler. I can’t wait to read it in its entirety!
I’m totally team Metal Rose, BUT…
I don’t believe that Julie and Derek should become a couple quite yet. I want them both to develop feelings for somebody else first. I want them to know, that they can be happy without one another. I want them to choose each other because they’re best with each other, not because they’re lost without each other.
In my Ideal fantasy, Julie would meet someone whom she likes quite a bit, for whom she develops a genuine affection, and who would also be a great political alliance for her. They would become engaged, and then, the engagement would break for external reasons, for instance, because politics demand it and they have also grown apart due to divided loyalties. Because sometimes, relationships break even though people remain affectionate toward each other because of logistics and other circumstances. And I want something similar for Derek. I want them both to know for certain, that they are capable of loving someone else and that they could find genuine happiness with somebody else.
And then I want them to acknowledge, that even though they could be happy and content apart, together they are happiest and strongest. And They would discover that, by overcoming the exact difficulty, which broke their other relationships.
I’m pretty sure, that’s not gonna happen though. They’re on a roll now and they are not gonna slow down XD. I still hope though, that they will choose one another instead of feeling that they need one another.
I am shipping you and Roman for sure, that would be true R&R!
Penhiro is my favorite ship, then Team Michella all the way
Still squeeing about Chapter 9 too.
I’m Julie and Derek, a rose ???? is a rose ???? is a rose ????❤️
I actually got a die and a coffee tin to make one lol
KARAKHUN
This was a lovely, well written piece! And…. Team Metal Rose 4Eva!
The HEA’s are consistently done right in IA books. Roman’s will be really fun. Even if it only ever exists in my head, but yeah… Roman and someone amazing. “Volvs in Moderation “ ha! ???? you’re the best Mod R!
Karat protests too much so we know she’s doomed. Lol
Still Team Ascanscio but now hoping he finds someone else since Ryrek is here.
Mod R secretly stands for Mod RomanIsMine, doesn’t it.
hahaha that made me snort water out my nose haha
+1 I just about LOLed in the office and got weird stares.
I always get weird stares (at home or at work) whenever I read the blog…
You’ve found me out ????
Team Metal Rose here! And I sang along to your song lyrics … showing my age haha
I need a Team Metal Rose t-shirt haha
Team Metal Rose for infinity!
Penhiro and metal rose.
Although, ahem, if not love and just marriage, Sean needs to marry the emperor and fix everything. Werewolves get a home at last with the empire. The empire gets his awesome dna and he can live at “peace” with Dina. At least no werewolves barging in to propose to him. The power of the empire behind them to locate her parents and rescue Wilmos.
I know it’d be an illegal crossover, but Roman and Wexyn would be such fun to see on an adventure together.
My brain just exploded a little imagining that ????
Oooo!! Who else but lady wexyn is brilliant and sneaky and diplomatic enough to handle Evodokia as an overprotective, meddling mother in law!!!
Team Metal Rose for sure. I’d like to see Roman with someone (the witch who partnered with him to hold off the People/Hugh, seemed promising. LOL)
Beast puppies would be DARLINGS, so a go for that ship. 🙂
This was hysterical. I didn’t even realize there was a Gorvar & Beast ship ready to sail!?
Mod R, you are a treasure.
The Metal Rose forever! Recovered at Sea was AWESOME. Penhiro also forever.
Team. Metal. Rose. All. The. Way.
And I don’t read Innkeeper till it’s in book form so I don’t know the long awaited HEA Mod R mentioned…but I have one in mind that I desperately hope it turns out to be!
And Mod R you have some hilarious posts! I will board ur Roman/Mod R ship! 🙂
Hear that House Andrews? Haha
????All????Of????The????Above!! Ok, minus Gorvar/beast, unless there are some sex changes, but that’s just about logistics!!
Also, I’m in Love & Always will be!
Awesomeness plus on this post totally on board the Karakun ship that would be fantabulous,
Love the Jingllebella ship, aslo Penhiro
Gorvar and Beast well I’m thinking a petrie dish might have to be involved in that scenario
???? and as for the mysterious chapter 9 part 2 ????♀️
Team Jiarabella forever. Stephen of course!
Also would love to have more Roman stories. He’s too adorbs not to have his own HEA.
Luther and Roman… could the world handle that much adorable snark
