Letting this go. I will soon out up stories based on ideas I began here and I hoped as time passed I would forger I love Valkubus...sadly no.
Who is Andromeda?
Child of Eris, also known as Discord. She couldn't be bothered to raise her children so when they were born they were suspended in time then buried. Her children attract discord as they eat the strongest emotion of the person who takes care of them. Usually it is love or hate but it tends to make their finder apathetic to other matters in life. They are often murdered young to end their influence. They also grow up to look like the source of the feeling so the baby will grow up to look like Bo. This is whom Tamsin sees sitting with her people in the stadium in the prophesy.
Valkyrie are born obedient to Freya but lifetimes of rejection have fueled Tamsin's rage allowing her to be free of the queen, but only because her heart had found a new master: Bo. Tamsin will always forgive Bo and fall in love with her again because of Valkyrie feeding and healing patterns. However, time and distance does give her a break from having to deal with emotional shit.
Valkyrie feed by an internal process. The greater the effort in battle the greater the effect of healing. Loving Bo destroyed something in Tamsin but recreated it in the Succubus' image. Bo is love. Andromeda is love. Andromeda wears a veil to protect Tamsin. The baby takes the love but because it grows back so quickly it can be overwhelming. Bruce took the baby who was standing in a pool of her own tears.
Riordan and Alexandria
Tamsin does not want to rule, but because she must she wants to leave most of the work to people she can trust. Alexandria bested Riordan who pledged her fealty to Tamsin who was killed on the battlefield by Riordan several lifetimes ago. An inner voice advises Tamsin to do this, explanation below.
Also, both have access to massive armies which will come in handy. The Amazon nation has Tamsins back but also the legions from Riordan's seventeen sons.
Aife McKenzie Frostheart
The child of Tamsin and Bo. T was neither impregnated by Gaia nor as a red herring would have suggested, Dyson. Tamsin has a lot of sex yet has never been pregnant, it was ingesting Bo's blood that created the spark of life. The baby is a blood sage like Trick who met her in his prophesy that informed him his true heir was coming and that Tamsin would unite the Light and Dark but he would not be there to see it.
From the future, Aife can speak to her mothers' from the future because of the blood connection. Bo hears whispers and Tamsin is guided to make wiser choices.
Kenzi's research
All she wanted to know was how to help Tamsin (regarding her heart sickness). What she and Trick both learn from their correspondence is that Valkyrie cannot be without a master and are able to fall in love. In most scenarios however, it was to a mortal and when they died, so too did the Valkyrie. They deduce Bo can command Tamsin but agree it is a bad idea if Bo realized that. It's also a point that doesn't matter because when Lauren disappears, Bo leaves the territory looking for her.
Lauren's death sentence
Bo and Lauren over a course of three months become irritable with one another being together 27/7. Going to the bathroom alone was not a safe option and Lauren had to watch Bo have sex with Dyson because Lauren cannot sustain her. It creates urgency in Lauren that she must become Fae so she can take care of both herself and Bo.
Lauren's research
Tamsin gives Bo a break and has Lauren stay with her for a day so the doctor can do prenatal checks. Lauren knows Tamsin's kiss can sustain Bo, she takes more blood than necessary. She will become a Valkyrie. Her work with Apollo's cells leads her to believe that by combining the invisible cells with Tamsin's she can create a stronger Valkyrie; also she thinks becoming a technical relative of the Ancients will place her under their protection. She doesn't know she already is and they don't care.
When she injects herself it does two things. 1. It let's Aife into her psyche briefly as Lauren injects herself as Tamsin goes into labour. Aife leaves her with a message: Bo will never give up looking for you. 2. Tamsin had lifetimes to learn to reject Freya, this is Laurens first life. Her love of Bo disappears because Valkyrie don't love but for Freya.
Freya on the other hand doesn't understand why she's stopped giving a fuck about anything else. Someone is upon her will. This is the curse of love.
Bo does not stop loving Lauren just because Lauren doesn't feel it. She wakes up alone and her quest begins to find her. This take Bo into distant territories.
Hades encourages Freya to seek the source of her angst. Lauren does not know how to find Valhalla but soon Valkyrie find her. It is not love at first sight but Freya knows she wants her close. Lauren relays a message. Bo will never stop looking for me.
Between the Dark trying to kill Lauren regularly because of the bounty and her jealousy towards the Succubus, Freya is plotting for war and calls forth all Valkyrie in preparation. She also wants the armies of Hell and thusly, to have Hades freed. The music box is found but only Bo can use it. She sends Lauren to force Bo's hands. This is a year after the birth of the baby. Lauren tells Bo that Hades doesn't need her anymore when he now has a Blood Sage as a granddaughter. Bo is clueless of course because she's never given birth. Lauren attempts to murder Bo, but the Succubus is rescued by an arrow.
Life of Aife
Bo is missing, Tamsin has had the baby after a five month pregnancy. Trick was by her side and asks Tamsin to name the child after his daughter. Andromeda is as tall as a seven year old. The political gossip is that Lauren has left the territory and soon she hears word from Valhalla this is where the doctor has gone. Tamsin's prediction has come true.
Tamsin does not pursue Bo right away, she knows now that Lauren does not love Bo, but this does not mean Bo will be open to another relationship. During the birth she wishes Bo was by her side.
Freya is sending threats her way. Valkyrie are murdering her people. The baby has had her first birthday and Trick discovers Hades music box has been stolen. Tamsin sends Andromeda (older teenager) and Trick sends Dyson to find Bo.
Andromeda's arrow saves Bo. The girl is still wearing a veil. She aims the arrow at Bo's heart and fires. It hits her lung, but as she lay dying Andromeda rages about the pain she has caused her mother. That if she wasn't the mother of her sister she would allow her to die. She unveils herself and Bo is weirded out to see someone so similar looking to herself but accepts Andromeda's kiss. The girl tastes like pure love and Bo finally understands Tamsin's heart. Not that she feels the same now, but she knows Tamsin is capable of love.
The story ends
On the brink of war as the door to Hell has opened.
Bo meets her child for the first time. She apologizes to Tamsin for leaving and is forgiven.
Trick is sitting alone reviewing his will and writing his final letters. Aife Frostheart is named as his heir. The last thing he does is write in his book of blood "The city is safe". An assassin is watching as he writes. Trick knows the minute he is to die and does not fight it. Trick is murdered in his alcove.
Tamsin saw Trick in her vision
It was a glamour. Who is sitting on the stage is Aife, not Trick. In the future, Aife knows who the true enemy is. Tamsin unites the Light and the Dark and is loved so tremendously that the Ancients are jealous despite how much that love feeds them. That love has made them powerful.
The war ended a decade earlier after several years at war with Hell and Valhalla. The city was safe but outside of its border, nobody was safe. Everyone in Brazenwood dies gloriously.
Aife will write Zeus and Hera into Hell once she is older and powerful enough to do so. This is her plan anyway but her grandparents are powerful muthafuckers and she can't help but love them.
Valkubus?
It's not meant to be easy. I never intended to write them as a couple and I can't forgive how shitty the show treated the Valkubus union and of course Tamsin's end. Bo was a well meaning person but such an emotional dunce. Maybe a scene would have happened where out of the blue one day Bo says "I love you." Tamsin would give her dimpley smirk and reply "No you don't. But Thank you" because of course Tamsin is now the big boss and also a mother. She hasn't got time for Bo's flakey games.
PS. Jergen reunites with his ex. They have weird looking babies.
