DAY EIGHT ACOTEN BRACKET

With this poll, we wrap up round one of the bracket! Stay tuned for tomorrow: it's almost time to narrow the field and pick the ultimate winner. In the meantime, make sure you choose your favorite wisely: those two just scream ✨mates✨

QUOTE 1: His voice broke as he whispered to Elain, “You’re my mate.”

QUOTE 2: “I’m going with you,” he said again, face splattered with blood as bright as his hair. “I’m getting my mate back.”

DAY SEVEN ACOTEN BRACKET

Today's bracket is ALL about our favorite thing in the world: Elucien longing. Honestly, we're not really sure how to choose, either...

QUOTE 1: 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.”

QUOTE 2: Lucien inclined his head in a bow, the movement hiding the gleam in his eye—the longing and sadness. And when Lucien turned to signal to Rhys to go … He did not glance back at Elain. Did not see the half step she took toward the stairs—as if she’d speak to him. Stop him.

sorry, what does ACOTEN stand for again? I am loving this voting game!! so fun!

Bloomsbury did a similar poll to celebrate the ten years of ACOTAR- ACOTEN. So we're just using their words for our elucien-specific poll!

DAY SIX ACOTEN BRACKET

It's time to look at some of Elucien's ACOWAR interactions. The slow burn has truly been slow burning, and we are here for every step of the journey.

QUOTE 1: Lucien shrugged. “First—here. To help. Then …” Another glance at Elain. “Who knows?” I nudged Elain, who blinked at me, then blurted, “You could come to Velaris.” He saw all of it, but nodded graciously. “It would be my pleasure.”

QUOTE 2: For a long moment, Elain’s face did not shift, but those eyes seemed to focus a bit more. “Lucien,” she said at last, and he clenched his teacup to keep from shuddering at the sound of his name on her mouth. “From my sister’s stories. Her friend.”

DAY FIVE ACOTEN BRACKET

Today, it's time to look at Elain's most memorable lines! Elucien truly has been serving us the best quotes since 2016 — we can't wait to find out who will be today's winner!

QUOTE 1: “And you are bound to some … Fae male. A High Lord’s son.” A different High Lord’s heir, likely, I wanted to say. “His name is Lucien.” I wasn’t certain if I’d ever heard his name from her lips.

QUOTE 2: “When I sleep,” she murmured, “I can hear your heart beating through the stone.” She angled her head, as if the city view held some answer. “Can you hear mine?”

DAY FOUR ACOTEN BRACKET

The next two quotes include some of Lucien's most iconic tracks! Which one will you choose?

QUOTE 1: Elain fell into step beside me, peering at Lucien. He noticed it. “I heard you made the killing blow,” he said.

QUOTE 2: Lucien snarled at the king over the bite of the magic at his throat, “Don’t just leave her on the damned floor—”

DAY THREE ACOTEN BRACKET

It's time to choose another favorite! Today's poll has some of the absolute best features on the Elucien album... how do you even pick just one?

QUOTE 1: 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.

QUOTE 2: I could have sworn his ruby hair gleamed like molten metal as his temper rose. But it faded, his russet eye fixing on me. “Take her to the sea. Take her to some garden. But get her out of this house for an hour or two.”

Our New Fic Author Highlight is LadyLyd and their fic:

One bed at the inn

Summary: Lucien was not her last choice as a travel companion. For that to happen, he would have had to be on the list at all.

"“Oh, wow, you’re freezing. Ok, uh, do you want to come a bit closer? Just body heat,""

What we love about it: Only one bed. Need we say more?

DAY TWO ACOTEN BRACKET

The voting continues! It’s time to choose another favorite. A difficult task, considering Elucien have never had a single bad track 😩

QUOTE 1: His gaze settled on Elain, and he sagged a little. But Elain only wrapped her arms around herself and remained at my side. “Are you hurt?” he asked, coming toward us. Spying the blood speckling Elain’s hands.

QUOTE 2: “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.

Our New Fic Author Highlight is kachina and their fic:

Love ain't some magical thing

Summary: When Elain Archeron spends a hot summer day in the townhouse garden, thinking about her developing relationship with her mate, Lucien Vanserra, she gets a pleasant surprise—almost as pleasant as the view Lucien gets when he visits her unannounced.

“I just wanted to let you know what you did to me while I was doing my emissary work at Day.”

What we love about it: Elain and Lucien don't have any self control and we're all better off for it

DAY ONE ACOTEN BRACKET

The first poll is now live as promised! It's time to pick one of the two iconic Elucien quotes (it's cruel to make you choose, we know):

QUOTE 1: "But he couldn’t breathe as she faced him fully. She was the most beautiful female he’d ever seen."

QUOTE 2: “Tell me about her—about Elain,” Lucien said quietly. As if the death that squatted in the dark beside us had drawn his thoughts to his own mate as well.

@amandapearls , @lulufoxlainfawn , and I have been holding onto this commission for so long we’ve been dying to share it. We’re so excited to share this GORGEOUS artwork of Elain and Lucien. We wanted to show Elain and Lucien happily mated and just having a nice peace day together. Plus sometimes a girl just wants to be carried by her mate 🥹🥹

Paola Pieretti.art blew us away with this beautiful art! Seriously we screeched with happiness when we saw this art. Thank you so much Paola Pieretti.art for creating this amazing artwork. It’s always a pleasure to work with you! The way you portray emotion so well in your artwork is exceptional!
