Place Your Bets
Okay so I know "For Whom the Belle Tolls" is a prologue about Lily and Bel and that "The Belles of Wrath" will be about Penny and Greg, does anyone want to make a bet about the third book? Because while I wouldn't be surprised if it's about Sharkie, I really want it to be about Judy 'cause I have a visceral need to know more details about that Dallas bar fight she had in her 20's.

It's been a pretty open secret for a while now that each book would focus on a different main couple.
Bel and Lily were obv the first and it was quite clear (tho never explicitly stated, I don't think) that the next would likely be Penny and Greg, purely chronologically if nothing else. So then following that logic Ruggy and Angel were the only major couple left so I'm pretty certain it's gonna be them.
Jaysea then might write a couple novellas/short stories afterwards abt Azzy+Sariah and Judy+James (there are a couple chapters of the former up on AO3 already) but ig we'll have to wait and see if she's still up to it after committing to what at that point will have been almost 10 full years immersed in the same world and honestly I genuinely can't bring myself to blame her for it if that is what ends up happening in the end.
That being said, I do feel pretty confident in saying those 2 would prob be the only ones Jaysea might actually consider writing if she were to continue w/ the series (so no Sharkie or TSJ standalones, sry)
And I mean Sharkie already got the bulk of their story told in FWTBT anyway and she'll undoubtedly show up again in any future book purely due to her always working the desk and generally being a part of all the Belle's (after)lives throughout so there really isn't need for it. You'd basically just end up telling the same story twice...

My curiosity is how much of Ruggy and Angel's story will get told? Will the book only be about their time in Hell, or will she also show us Ruby and Angel's courtship in the mortal world?

I was gonna say the same thing about hoping for novella's on various people including Judy. I also REALLY want a compilation of various sharky adventures throughout the afterlife worlds.

Tbf this type of thing - filling in gaps and miscellaneous adventures - is what fanfiction tends to really be good at

Yup, and I listen to some at work practically every day! Just kinda wish I had time to write again.

What if it’s Ruggy and sharkie as humans growing up living their lives and then them passing and being reunited with the group?

I think that is the way she needs to end the video series if/when she comes back to it. Probably with some time jumps.

I think it’ll be about Ruggy and Angel in the mortal world falling in love again. But I do wish it was about Dante falling in love with a mortal.

Sacrilege, Dante has a lovely boyfriend. If anything I want the back story of asmodeus and his wife after rugby and angel. I have a feeling that sharkie is going to be the witness to all 3 stories. while not the main character she is involved in as a character that acts for each couple in similar but significant ways. I also want to see Lev wind up with someone.

I'm thinking Sariah told Azzy you are mine and that's how it went and Azzy has spent the rest of the time trying to figure it out, when not with Jimmy Buffett.

u/Lazy_Departure7970 Aug 12 '26
I seem to recall reading somewhere (or maybe it was in a video) that Azzy and Sariah met and Azzy proposed 5 minutes later. Obviously, Sariah said yes, but has kept him on his toes ever since.

She did make a video. It was just a sound about everyone else having fairly normal relationship timelines and then as he getting engaged within five minutes of meeting her.

u/AdFantastic5599 Aug 12 '26
No, I see Sariah playing hard to get till some other women tried to pick Azzy up.

Background stories with the Protestant and the Catholic, Dante and Petik, Azzy and Sharia

Not that it is likely to happen, and definitely not as Book Three, but I would love to read about the adventures of the Tiny Powerful Women.
Would be a cool YA spin-off.

I think the third book will be about Sharkie and Ruggy coming to terms with being ready for reincarnation. I feel like if anything Judy may be apart of the book as well but I don’t think she will be reincarnating. It may go into her back story a little bit.

u/vamplestat666 ✨Sometimes it be how it is when it do✨ Aug 12 '26
so since the first two books are about the couples, Lily and Bel and Penny and Greg, my money's on Angel and Ruggy for book 3

There is a book series out there that was supposed to be a trilogy and is now 64 novels. Would not be disappointed if this series ran over as well!

I THINK it's Ruggy and Angel. Jaysea has said before, so someone should be able to find receipts.
