Lucien X Elain - Tumblr Posts
𝑬𝒍𝒂𝒊𝒏 + 𝑳𝒖𝒄𝒊𝒆𝒏
I’m really excited to share this short Elucien comic. This amazing comic art was done by the very talented @artcraawl
I really wanted an Elucien comic that brought all the emotional push-&-pull and tension that I felt between these two characters in the books. @artcraawl killed it of course. She really brought these two characters to life!
I know the ship-wars are chaotic right now but please keep the comments respectful.

Elain x Azriel: W.T.F.
SCROLLING THROUGH TUMBLR AND SEEING ELRIEL FANFICTIONS HAS ME SHOOK!
Wait! People ship Azriel and Elain!? NO! WHAT!? WHY!? Lucien deserves the happiness and purity Elain will bring to his life (they're totally end game) and what is the whole mating bond for then!? I know the bond can be rejected but-- but-- but-- THEN WHAT ABOUT MOR!? 500 years of sexual tension for what!?
Azriel just emits big brother vibes towards Elain...just why tho... I get they cling to each other but it's a protective soul bond (IK THAT SOUNDS EXACTLY LIKE WHAT THE MATING BOND IS BUT NO) just-- like calls to like and--*stunned silence* I have never hated any ship more in. my. life.
LET ME RECAP:
Yes.
Yes. That was cute. That was adorable. That is what they are.

“But Mor...I’d been blind not to see it. Not to realize that there was a damn good reason why five hundred years had passed and Mor had not accepted what Azriel so clearly offered to her.” pg 592
ME TOO FEYRE ME TOO
okay, but can we appreciate that even in a society where for example Helion and Thesan and Nephelle are openly gay Sarah J. Mass still depicted how difficult is it can be for others especially lesbians to come out and be out and live their lives, especially in powerful positions?
Also, I think I’d be okay with Azriel and Elain, because Azriel can be kind and soft and Elain can kinda sing his demons to sleep (HA! shadowsinger? you see what I did there ;) ) and I need someone who we trust to take care of our baby Elain, but only if there was no mating bond. Because how can Lucien really commit to another relationship with that tug always there?
Rant on the mating bond coming up

Thought:
okay...I don't think that anyone should use anyone to heal..but maybe that's what these characters need...just love and time and interaction... I mean Az needs to heal over Mor and Elain is the exact opposite. Elain was broken and healing then torn apart again and is trying to piece herself back together into whoever she is, in fact, shes still discovering who that is and maybe she needs someone who is just there for her and supportive. And Lucien's first lover after the one his father slaughtered shouldn’t be Elain, I mean she’s just gone through her own shit and can’t really handle all that baggage...so maybe Lucien and Vassa and Azriel and Elain are just temporary steps on a road to recovery and end game OTP’s?

I see exactly where you’re coming from. However, the point about Elain being overwhelmed by Azriel is debatable. Maybe he needs that softness and kindness to really heal. Maybe he needs that change from his sarcastic tough friends. Elain has been through crap too and her powers have let her see alot and in A Court of Frost and Starlight, Elain is shown to be so much stronger than we first thought and healing way better than Nesta. So maybe she can handle it? And I’m not going back on what I was saying...or maybe I am...shit... I still don’t think they’re ready for a romantic relationship period, certainly not together, definitely not now, but the point to be made is everyone needs to heal themselves before trying to go around healing everyone else.
“Let him live with his Band of Exiles. Let him live with deal with Tamlin in his own way. Let him figure out where he wants to be. Who he wants to be. Same goes for her,” Mor to Feyre on the subject of Lucien and Elain A Court of Frost and Starlight Pg. 168
I’d totally love to see Lucien finally find home somewhere (or with someone hint hint)...I mean his little band of ‘The Exiles’ is really the only place he’s ever really felt excepted, I mean even in the spring court Tamlin and him had an odd relationship and Azreil has his friends already, but in ACOFAS it didn’t seem like Elain was warming up to Lucien any time soon and ever since we’ve learnt the mating bond can be rejected I think that’s what we’ve been leading up to...you know?
This series more than makes up for its lack of character deaths in odd and confusing relationships and blurry plot destinations...I’ll give it that.

I have this Elucien scene in my head where they are already together and exploring all their sexual tension and then Elain drops the words "Oral" and Lucien feels he is losing it.
But then, he discover Graysen had never tasted her and had actually made her think that she would probably taste awful and now she has that fear so he calms himself and goes "Let's just try it and if you don't like it then I'll stop" But Elaine is nervous and she goes "I'm afraid you won't like how I taste" and Lucien is just like, WHat? I would love how you taste! Let's try it.
And then there they are, Lucien kneeling with his face between her legs while staring at her and thinking she is the most beautiful thing he has ever seen and meanwhile Elain is just so freaking nervous. But then Lucien takes a long lick and stops and while it felt amazing Elaine is just so nervous because he is not moving, not talking, not saying anything so she goes "Lucien? Is it bad-" But she can't even finish because Lucien lets out the most unholy growl ever and proceeds to devour her because her flavor is the most amazing thing he had ever tasted
Just saying, it would be a nice scene t0o have on the book
Even I want Lucien and I'm not part of ACOTAR
"Elain doesn't want Lucien"
My sweet summer child.
Everybody in the ACOTAR series wants Lucien.
She's just the one who is most terrified of that realization.
the mother and the cauldron
The mother: Say it slowly, so I can get it. What did the Archeron girl said?
The Cauldron: she said that she doesn't want a fae for a mate. Or a mate.
The mother: she doesn't want a-? Is she nuts? I gave her the best one I have!
The Cauldron: She's a bit traumatized, but she's nice.
The mother: I know she's a bit traumatized! But he is-he's- has she seen him? He's perfect! Even I want him as a mate!
The Cauldron: I know. How do we fix it?
The mother: not a mate, not A MATE! Well,give them forced proximity, give them pent up desire, give them loneliness, give them hormones! Make her see him shirtless! Make her see him shirtless and sweating and with his hair on a bun!
The cauldron: I like that! That's nice! Should we do the one bed trope?
The mother: Smart! I love it! She's gonna be eating out of his palm soon enough.
The cauldron: he's gonna be eating her soon enough.
The Mother and The Cauldron-Part 2
The Mother: HE HAS A MATE!
The Cauldron: I know-
The Mother: SHE ALSO HAS A MATE!
The Cauldron: I know that too, I was there when the bond snapped-
The Mother: WHY WERE THEY ABOUT TO KISS!? WHAT WAS THAT TALK OF ME OWNING HIM THE THIRD SISTER!?
The Cauldron: Yeah, that was bad...
The Mother: IS SHE AN OBJECT THAT MUST BE OWNED!? IS SHE NOT THE ONE THAT SAID THAT SHE WAS A STRONG WOMAN!?
The Cauldron: I know they have mates, but maybe they're just a bit confused because maybe we're not being clear enough-
The Mother: NOT BEING CLEAR ENOUGH!?
The Cauldron: Oh, boy.
The Mother: LUCIEN IS THE HEIR OF DAY AND GWYN MAKES HIS SHADOWS SING AND DANCE! HOW IS THAT NOT CLEAR ENOUGH!?
The Cauldron: Have we considered the possibility that they're just in denial?
The Mother: THEY'RE RED HEADS. THEY'RE OUTSTANDING ENOUGH AND IF THAT WASN'T ENOUGH THEN SURPRISE! HE HAS A MECHANIC EYE! SHE WAS TEAL EYES! HE TRAVELS TO THE CONTINET AND MET HER FATHER! SHE BECAME THE FIRST VALKYRIE REBORN! HOW IS THAT NOT CLEAR ENOUGH!
The Cauldron: I...I honestly don't know anymore.
To be known by you
I'm just gonna giggle like a little girl and drop this here in Tumblr.
This is a little peek into something I've been working for a while now. It's gonna be a series (elucien/gwynriel) but the main characters will be Elain and Gwyn. ELRIELS, BRYRIELS OR WHOEVER OTHER TOXIC SHIP YOU BELONG DO NOT INTERACT.
WARNINGS: Honestly, just two girls being girls (👩🦰🗡👱♀️🌸).
Enjoy this little peek! And don't forget to show your support, I really want to keep this one going.
Elain was convinced that she, as a matter of fact, did not belonged in the night court.
But then, she didn't belong in any court.
The proof was how she had asked to go to the house of wind to visit Nesta and Cassian, but since Nesta was not there and Cassian had to go somewhere she wasn't allowed to know because she wasn't a member of the inner circle, they had dropped her off at the house and told her that someone would go and take care of her soon.
Now, she was there, a grown woma--female, and she was waiting for her nanny to come and pay heed to her needs.
She didn't know what was more pathetic: the fact that they thought she needed a nanny, or the way she simply accepted it.
Currently, she was looking around the library, remembering those first months where she had been reborn, remembering how empty she felt at the way she had lost everything. She still felt like that sometimes.
"You must be Elain." A voice behind her said, curiosity being laced with the delicate voice of the female.
Elain turned around ready to find an actual nanny, but instead she found a tiny red haired girl with teal eyes and a million freckles, with a toned body being covered by illyrian leathers.
The female blinked at her, and Elain found her voice. "Yes," She mumbled and then shook her head clearing the whispers in there. "I mean: yes, I am Elain."
The red haired girl nodded and closed the library door behind her. "Well, I must confess that I was expecting to take care of a kid." Elain blushed furiously which caused the red haired girl to hurry and explain. "Not that there is something wrong with needing someone to take care of you! Because it is okay, I should know ," the girl shook her head with a sight. "What I mean is that the way Cassian said I had to come and they way he worded it made me believe I would be babysitting."
That unsettled Elain. The inner circle had stopped protecting her a long time ago and had started to keep her locked within herself. They didn't told her anything, they kept quiet always, they didn't include her in plans that could possibly affect her.
And Rhys, by the cauldron, Rhys acted with Nesta so horribly simply because Nesta hadn't kept Feyre from going into the forest to hunt. Sometimes, when Rys was being a total arse, she imagined herself getting up and screaming at him that she was also guilty of it, that Nesta wasn't the only one to blame.
Sometimes the guilt ate her alive. Yes, she had no idea about hunting like Feyre or being aggressive like Nesta but she knew how to grow things. She could have grown vegetables to feed her family instead of spending all that money on flowers. But the inner circle only blamed Nesta, and kept Elain in a cocoon that was starting to deem a bit too tight.
"I do not need a nanny." Elain mumbled quietly, not wanting to offend the female that had clearly gone to babysit her in good graces.
The red haired girl nodded. "Noted. What about company? Azriel is going for bloodshed today in training and even though I am up for a challenge most of the time, I have my cycle and I feel near death."
Elain nodded curiously even though the mention of the shadow singer had moved an old wound inside her. Her mind whispered a name and Elain couldn't help but ask, "what is your name?" The female walked to one of the couches, giving her a soft smile.
"Gwyneth Berdara, but you can call me Gwyn." She recognized the name.
Gwyneth Berdara, one of Nesta's closest friends. She had won the blood rite as a carynthian, was a valkyrie and was an acolyte in the library.
Not only that, but she was also Azriel's mate.
The knowledge made her wince a little. After winter solstice, after the fiasco with Azriel, she have had a vision.
Azriel had gone with Rhys and Elain had been left clutching her necklace for dear life when the vision suddenly struck her. In her vision, Azriel was laughing but she couldn't hear his laugh, his eyes were sparkling as he stared at someone, and then a blur of red was going in circles around him, with a soft laugh echoing through her mind; his shadows were twirling freely and peacefully, and when the blur stopped, she saw red hair and Azriel gave a step forward and whispered "Gwyneth."
Elain had been able to see the threads of the mating bond between them, had seen the love and the longing in Azriel's face and she had known that she didn't stood a chance against it, so she had left the necklace behind and walked to her room, just a few door away from her own mate, and cried herself to sleep. Now, his mate was right in front of her and she was sure he knew who she was.
Her knowing who he was seemed impossible, but that was not her business. She had enough with her own mating problem, or in better words: the lack thereof.
The Mother and the Cauldron - creating Elucien
@elucienweekofficial2024 here is my contribution for elucien week 2024! Hope you enjoy!
The Mother: Cauldron, come forth.
The Cauldron: What do you need, Mother?
The Mother: I have a question.
The Cauldron: Nothing new.
The Mother: May I ask the question?
The Cauldron: You are strangely polite today but sure, you may.
The Mother: we know hybern has the Archeron sisters
The Cauldron: Yes, we do.
The Mother: And we know that in about five seconds, Elain will come out of the Cauldron as a Fae.
The Cauldron: Still wondering why I am an actual Cauldron, but yes, she will.
The Mother: And you found her beautiful
The Cauldron: I did, she's nice and scared
The Mother: so you gave her a nice gift
The Cauldron: I did. She's a seer.
The Mother: wonderful. So I was thinking: My calculations about mates are always right, so I did some work and she will find her mate as soon as she comes out
The Cauldron: She will? That's nice, they usually have to put a lot of work for it. Who's it gonna be? Cassian? Tamlin? Azriel?
The Mother: Not Cassian, he already has a mate.
The Cauldron: Right, I forgot. Tamlin?
The Mother: No, I have something else in store for him.
The Cauldron: Then...Azriel? He's been waiting for 500 years.
The Mother: no, no. Not him. That would be more toxic than Hybern.
The Cauldron: so whom? And if you say the King of Hybern I will open up and swallow this universe-
The Mother: Calm down, not him. I was thinking about a handsome red head with a russet eye and fire in his blood...
The Cauldron: ....
The Mother: what do you think?
The Cauldron: didn't he have a mate?
The Mother: I honestly don't know who gave him that impression, but no. He is mateless.
The Cauldron: well, that ought to mess him up. Angst, fluff...I mean, it could work?
The Mother: Right? She can braid flowers into his hair...
The Cauldron: And he can bring her to the continent...
The Mother: and she can go to spring...
The Cauldron: And she is a flower so she needs sunshine...
The Mother: yeah, and he is the heir of day...
The Cauldron: I see it working.
The Mother: Right? The fox and the faun
The Cauldron: The spell breaker and the seer...I like it. I see the plot
The Mother: yeah, impossible to miss the clear signs
The Cauldron: Yeah, they're made for each other. Here comes Elain!
The Mother: okay, to your position. We have a story to start!
me waiting for Sarah's announcement
