Eyes of Azure: The Forbidden Files | 01

Alright, as promised, here is the collection of what could have been for this trilogy. I suppose you can say that this is a method of atonement for this story's discontinuation. But before we head deeper into what could have been, let me give you some background for this fic.

Eyes of Azure was drafted, outlined, and written over the course of approximately two years of my Wattpad career (it roughly began in July 2015 and was officially discontinued last August 2017), and is the most detailed of everything I have in my files so far. It is also the fanfiction which is dearest to my heart, due to personal reasons—several characters in this story are modeled after aspects of my personality, as well as the personalities of many people I know in real life. Many of the chapters were also written when I was in a particularly bad times, and it was the one method I knew to get it out of my head. (More to follow later in these segments, where I reveal some pretty interesting facts about the characters.)

EA wouldn't have gotten its very complex plotline if not for many inspirations, and many people who supported me. I admit, I'm very sorry I'm letting all of you down—I hope you can forgive me.

Here are several of the inspirations for the Eyes of Azure trilogy:

Books:

1. The Mortal Instruments series and The Infernal Devices trilogy by Cassandra Clare

» This is actually a very obvious one—it's where I got the idea of the parabatai system, only I modified it in order to fit the aims of the fic.

2. The Divergent trilogy by Veronica Roth

» Again, unsurprisingly, I managed to get inspiration for the Sibylline agents from some of the characters in this trilogy.

3. The Percy Jackson and the Olympians series by Rick Riordan

» The same as the Divergent trilogy; an idea for a very specific character in EA came from the background and character development of Luke Castellan in these books.
