@elucienweekofficial Day Six — Growth

Sarah once said that Elain and Lucien would find a great deal of tension and healing—together. Their story will have obstacles, but it will also have peace, adventure, and friendship. At the end of that journey, with a string of fate bound tightly around their hearts and tugging them together, I see Elain offering Lucien a piece of his home as a means of accepting their bond (though, home to Lucien is wherever Elain is).

Lucien humbly accepts, of course. You would have to be a fool to reject Elain Archeron.

okay. so. They were in the cottage BEFORE????? the creditors shattered his leg? what the fuck was he DOING then besides just *talking* about regaining their wealth. it still took YEARS for ALL the money to go after they used it to make sure he could walk. and he can walk for OVER a mile?????????? what the ever living fuck is his excuse besides feeling sorry for himself for letting his three daughters STARVE while he sat there running his mouth about getting money again. wishful thinking isn't going to feed three young girls mouths, you stupid man

I'm not inclined to give him the benefit of the doubt, of perhaps equating it to severe depression considering the beginning of this book is so caricaturesque there is no room, no writing or nuance allowed outside of him being "ashamed". If it were written, perhaps like Katniss' mom, with parallels drawn between depression for him + Feyre or him + Nesta, I might be more inclined

he can WALK. for over a MILE. they still had MONEY after healing his LEG. since he has chronic pain with the bad weather I'm inclined to be more forgiving during the winter months and bad storms but the other half of the year....? he's mobile. he's literate. he's well read. he was an affluent member of society. how the HELL are we blaming NESTA for EVERYTHING. HE IS MOBILE. HE HAS RESOURCES. HES JUST LETTING HIS DAUGHTERS KEEP THEIR FAMILY ALIVE OR TRY TO REACH OUT TO OTHER FAMILY MEMBERS WHAT IS HE DOINGGGG

We are looking forward to seeing Elain and Lucien grow into their relationship. We think Lucien’s sassiness will return once they’re more comfortable with each other and we wanted to depict that playfulness through their animal personas Elain the Fawn and Lucien the Fox. Thank you to thesleepingfoxy for this beautiful depiction of them!

Happy ElucienWeek

𝑬𝒍𝒖𝒄𝒊𝒆𝒏 𝑾𝒆𝒆𝒌: 𝑴𝒂𝒕𝒆𝒔 🌸

Happy Elucien Week everyone! @amandapearls @foreverinelysian and @areyoudreaminof are so excited to share our commission by the wonderful and talented DMONYART for @elucienweekofficial

One of SJM’s old Pinterest board posts had artwork of a lady with a rose tattoo on her back. Of course this made us think of Elain. How maybe Elain would have a rose shaped bargain tattoo with her mate in future books.

DMONYART did an absolutely INCREDIBLE job! Elain looks positively gorgeous! We love her cute little smile and blush 🩷. Lucien looks insanely handsome. We love how he’s tracing Elain’s tattoo with such love and reverence.

Cheers to another successful Elucien week! Here’s a parting gift, in which Elain discovers that Lucien sleeps nude.

Thanks to the mods of the event, we appreciate you! ❤️ and thank you so much to the incredible yukarietd for creating this amazing artwork of Elain and Lucien!

Cue Elain blushing profusely, and Lucien comparing the pretty stain on her cheeks to the color of his hair. (Elain kicks him out)

Elucien Week revitalized me. I am so thankful for the event runners and for all of the incredible content we received this week. This community is incredible and I am so fortunate to be part of something so profound <3

Happy @elucienweekofficial! This year, I really wanted to draw something inspired by one of my favorite Elucien fics ever written — playgirl by @damedechance 🫦 I wanted to dedicate this to the wonderful, talented Marissa with a huge sloppy thank you for writing an absolute masterpiece and THE sexiest Elucien AU you'll ever read.

Read playgirl by @damedechance here (and report back so we can simp over how good it is together)!! See under the cut for closeups :)

@damedechance's playgirl summary: Under the anonymous screen name witch_hazel, Elain Archeron has been moderating the chatroom of rising OnlyFans creator, swiper-no-swiping (Lucien) for a little less than a year. When he comes to Velaris from out of town, they agree to meet up, and the unspoken attraction between them reaches a boiling point.

[lovelygwyneth]

Months ago, @kt-reads-things , @lulufoxlainfawn , and I really wanted to do an old harlequin style romance cover with Elucien, and now we can finally share it with all of you! Elain and Lucien fit the dreamy, yet also cheesy, vibes of those “Fabio” covers perfectly. The intensity. The drama. The Tempt of the Fox 🦊

A huge thank you to @nanna.arts for seeing our vision and being an absolute blast to work with. The art, the typeset, even the addition of the aged/cracked cover feel in one version — we have been in awe working with you!

Day 6: Growth

for @elucienweekofficial

Sarah: That reminds me! Lucien and Elain would go to London and tour through the gardens before making their way out to the countryside. They are pretty much happy to be out in nature the most.

Interview with Modernbookfae

I got to my feet, but Lucien remained sitting on the blanket and lifted the bottle of wine in salute. He took a slug from it as he sprawled on his back and gazed at the green canopy.

ACOTAR

“These bulbs,” Elain said, pointing with a gloved hand to a cluster of purple-and-white flowers, “came all the way from the tulip fields of the continent. Father promised that next spring he’ll take me to see them. He claims that for mile after mile, there’s nothing but these flowers.” She patted the rich, dark soil. The little garden beneath the window was hers: every bloom and shrub had been picked and planted by her hand; she would allow no one else to care for it.

ACOTAR

Thank you to demiepie for creating how I would love Elain and Lucien’s book to end, in the tulip fields she was so excited to visit, as Lucien fulfills the final promise her father made to his favorite daughter. SJM said there is a great deal of growth and tension ahead for Elain and Lucien. She had pins of Elain and Lucien imagery before they were deleted after ACOSF. SJM has talked about Elain and Lucien and, even when asked, said she thought the original pairings still held after discussing future plans. Her latest release included a lot of canon about how enduring the mating bond is, which Elain and Lucien share. I can’t wait to see what she has imagined them doing and how she foresaw their relationship blossoming before gifting them the endgame she usually reserves for her couples at the end of their journey.

SJM once said that neither she nor Lucien saw Elain coming, but the story naturally led Elain and Lucien to one another.

Their mating bond was unexpected and remains unexplored, but there’s a golden thread tying them together. Their love will be a slow burn of blossoming buds, ivy breaking through brick, quiet but abundant.

@elucienweekofficial Day Five — Daylight

I have always said that Elain and Lucien are such a fairytale couple—straight out of the pages of a bedtime story. Princesses, knights and princes, dragons and horseback riding, true love’s kiss. Raise your hand if Tangled has always been such an Elucien coded film?

(I may or may not have asked Brittany to make Lucien’s butt bigger …)

Day Five: Daylight

for @elucienweekofficial

Artist Credit: Vittie (commissioned by me)

The suite was filled with sunlight. Every curtain shoved back as far as it could go, to let in as much sun as possible. As if any bit of darkness was abhorrent. As if to chase it away. And seated in a small chair before the sunniest of the windows, her back to us, was Elain.

ACOWAR

Nesta hid the devastation well. The frustration. “What can I get you, Elain?” Only with Elain did she use that voice. But Elain shook her head once more. “Sunshine.” Nesta cut me a furious stare before guiding our sister down the hall—to the sunny garden in the back. Lucien waited until the glass door had opened and closed before he loosed a long breath. “There’s a bond—it’s a real thread,” he said, more to himself than us. “And?” Mor asked. Lucien ran both hands through his long red hair. His skin was darker—a deep golden-brown, compared to the paleness of Eris’s coloring. “And I got to Elain’s end of it when she ran off.” “Did you sense anything?” “No—I didn’t have time. I felt her, but …” A blush stained his cheek. Whatever he’d felt, it wasn’t what we were looking for. Even if we had no idea what, precisely, that was.

ACOWAR

Thank you again to Vittie for creating this piece of Lucien and Elain for me. Elain was the one who opened the loop about Lucien's true father, something SJM later retconned when she said in an interview that Elain being Lucien's mate had surprised her. All of SJM’s books explore the theme of Like Calls to Like and the idea of compatibility. She has written Elain and Lucien’s lives to run in parallel, both before and after their bond snapped, allowing them to endure their dark night of the soul before the day breaks and they recognize that a better world exists for them together. Under the cut is a closeup!
