Azriel ALONE

LISTENED

To

HER

Only he listned to her. Not her sisters. Not her mate. Only Azriel.

And he SUFFERED like she did.

But also, the twinning of their magic.

He hears what others cannot.

She sees what others cannot.

And neither has to speak to understand each other.

If someone thinks that they are not meant for each other, I’m sorry, but just stop reading.

I love that the rejected mates story line is put on everyone from:

Bryce and Hunt (together and happy)

Eris and Mor (not even confirmed mates)

Nesta and Cassian (accepted and happy)

Feyre and Rhysand (accepted and happy)

Helion and LOA (not even confirmed mates)

but ABSOLUTELY NOT Elain and Lucien, the one mate bond (confirmed anyways) that wants nothing to do with each other and that is questioned repeatedly over and over. Not them. Nope.

This is hilarious

Rhys, after being held captive for decades, is able to see the stars again thanks to Feyre

Azriel, who was deprived of sunlight when he was a child, comparing Elain to the sun at dawn

[lakewillowmerewraith]

My roman empire is the fact that Azriel had no idea Elain wasn't seeing Lucien because he wasn't spying on him until Elain gave Azriel the headache powder during the solstice. Then he realized not only that she had been observing him and cared about him, but also that she chose to give him a gift instead of her mate

Like no wonder that laugh came from the depths of his heart.

Azriel saving Elain while Lucien was busy saving another woman was definitely an interesting parallel

[lakewillowmerewraith]

She shines ✨🦌

I have a beautiful headcanon that Elain and Azriel's love for each other will be so powerful and so pure that a mating bond takes root between them. A bond forged because of the intense desire to belong to each other and no one else.

This is so telling 💕💕

The timeline has always been pretty clear, so i don't know why that side is acting surprised right now.

Sjm has only addressed Elain and Lucien 3 times (2 in 2016) and one time in 2017.

The last one was during a Q&A during the Tower of Dawn Tour and giving how Acofas/Acosf turned out, i think we all have the answer for the question it was posed :

INTERVIEWER: So the next question is from Abigail, and says: Will Elain accept the mating bond with Lucien? And congrats on your announcement!

SJM: (people cheering) Aw, thank you! So if you guys don't know what we're talking about... I'm preggers. (Laughter and cheers) --talks about it some more before coming back to topic--

You... might get an answer to Elain's fate in the upcoming spin off books. I'm not gonna tell you when. Once you read ACOFAS, you may get a sense of the timeline and layout and things, but I've been planning and thinking... I know everyone's fate and (hesitates and laughs) romantic situation.

Interviewer: Not ominous, at all.

SJM: (literally cackles maniacally) Jusf - I have so many secrets I'm keeping from you guys!

Charlie Bowater: How do not let anything slip?

SJM: I live in constant terror of just accidentally being like, "oh and by the way these people are mates. Surprise!" I have no self-restraint in any regards except trying to keep secrets. (...)

Omg I’m dying 🤣🤣🤣

"Elain's book is next! But it's with Lucien!"

"Azriel's book is next! But it's with Gywn!"

Why is it that everyone believes Elain or Azriel would be next, but so many refuse to believe it's *gasp* them together?

It's literally giving this.

some peace and quiet on a summer afternoon in the garden. 🦇🌸

A quick reminder, because apparently people don't know how to read:

Elain didn't abandon Nesta.

Nesta abandoned Elain. Over and over and over again. Going so far as to bypass her and pretend not to see her at the market.

Elain and Cassian were the two people who tried and tried and tried again. And kept trying. Even when they knew that it wouldn't lead anywhere.

Name ONE gift that Nesta gave Elain or Cassian. It's okay, I'll wait. None. You are right. None. On the other hand, I can name every gift that they gave her.

Not 'understanding' that Elain cried when she saw Nesta at HOW over Nesta not getting better isn't because Elain is malicious, or resentful, or cruel. It's because Elain is watching someone she LOVES languishing. It's not because 'oh, it's been two weeks and she isn't getting better!' It's because there is no progress. She knows it will take time, but it doesn't mean that it's not hard on her. Why should we only see one side of the equation? The same people who claim that Feyre is an unreliable narrator, for some reason feel that Nesta is 100% reliable? Addiction or illness don't just impact the addict or the sick person. It impacts everyone around them. It's often families and friends who bear the brunt of the burden.

Nesta only felt anger. Elain felt sorrow.

That people don't understand this and the nuance of how Nesta's situation was absorbed and handled by each sister is kind of concerning.

Feyre’s better than me because I woulda cut Nesta off way sooner and skipped the whole “rehab” thing altogether.

Because fuck you, you’re gonna steal MY money, talk shit on MY family, emotionally abuse ME, and then act like YOU’RE the victim. Hell no, turns out, being high lady has a certain amount of sway.

Feyre was so nice because I would’ve stopped paying her bills, told every bar in town to quit servicing her and told her to get a fucking job because if you’re gonna be spending money like that you better make damn fucking sure its your money and not mine. You got me all the way fucked up.
