Elain glanced behind, but thankfully couldn’t see anyone she knew. Calloused fingers pulled her face back to his. “Anyone who would care to look for us is too drunk or too dense to notice what’s right in front of them.”

He brought his mouth to her throat, wasting no time untying the laces behind her dress until he could lower the dress from her shoulders. Elain’s breath was thin as she answered, “It helps that they would never think to find us here.”

Lucien let out a low chuckle as he pressed kisses along her shoulders, “I’m a simple male, Elain, and plenty would be little more than bored to find me here with a female... You, however, are uncommon enough to surprise them and clever enough not to get caught.”

Bonus Chapter from my fic. Exclusively Elucien smut, lol. NSFW!

Finally a light came, brilliant and furious as ever before; but that isn't what had people gasping with awe and crying out with joy. Beside the lone star, a second one just as bright soared across the sky with it. Nesta couldn't breathe as she watched, emotion welling up in her heart, eyes transfixed at the sight.

“You don't think…” she whispered.

Cassian took her hand and gave a firm squeeze. “Of course I do. It's them.”

Cassian and Nesta - A Court of Thorns and Roses

Artist: @sunni_rae_art

Alone on the beach with Cassian, Nesta turned her eyes to the sky and wondered at the stars, “Why does victory always feel like such a wretched loss?”

Cassian’s hair tickled her cheek as he looked up with her and answered, “There are plenty of small victories we claim every day that we hardly notice. Victory itself is not so bad… but the more a victory or a loss would impact the world around us, the harder it is to ignore the battle that decides its outcome." He caught her eye in a swirl of deep brown and mossy green under the moonlight, a somber expression limning his eyes. "The higher the stakes, the more we are willing to give up to win… but it is the lie of history that makes us believe the scars of battle fade will in the glory of success. It's a tradeoff: the losses we can bear to live with, in exchange for preventing the losses that we can't.”

“It calls to her, you know. The cruelty of this place,” Elain said softly... Blinking herself out of a stupor, Elain met her own careful blue eyes with wise brown ones and said, “Rhysand could pretend to be a nightmare when his duty required it of him, but part of Nesta needs to be monstrous now and then. She doesn’t merely rule over the wicked creatures, Feyre; she’s one of them."

Only when they were alone did Lucien let his eyes wander to her, a hint of his cannier qualities in the unconscious flutter of umber lashes. “You’re enjoying this,” he accused in a low voice. Elain dared not meet his gaze, trusting her hidden thoughts only to the marine landscape beyond the arching windows of the foyer. Dawn’s radiance sent fingers of warm light across the marble. To trade the secret in her eyes for the sight of those rays on Lucien's auburn hair tempted her. This male was always tempting her, it seemed.

“So what if I am?” Elain answered, which was an easier thing to admit than her desire to see his bound hair in the morning sun.

Dis my main blog

I feel like I need a pinned post...

Hi.

This is my AO3, if you're wondering.

Here is my blog for RbtW

Current WIPs:

Ravaged by the Witchlight/ACOTAR fandom

My life

My favorite things to write:

Crack

Changing things about Canon I don't like/what-if

A familiar trope, but way more dramatic

Recommended writers/blogs:

@trshtffc

@bloomingdarkgarden

See below for an excessive amount of more info.

Other ACOTAR projects in the works:

Mooks- a blind illyrian and a dark bringer who can't winnow are stranded near the wall after the last battle vs. Hybern. Together, they have to walk across Prythian to get back to their homes in the Night Court. Gomens vibes.

Elucien- Elain is invited to visit the forest house by Eris Vanserra, to strengthen relationships with the Night Court. Feyre insists Lucien goes with her, as an emissary who understands the court better than anyone else in their circle. Romance and intrigue ensue.

Elriel- Elain begins to work under Azriel as a spy; but she suprises him when she takes an interest in some of the darker sides of his trade. There is beauty in nature, which many understand easily when they think of Elain. What she knows, and Azriel finds out, is that nature is also fluent in violence. A dark/horror fic with some off-type gritty romance.

Gwyn/Tarquin - Gwyn finally got Rhysand to sign a grant for her research! Her first stop: the Summer Court. Tarquin takes an interest when he learns she wants to summon an old water god. Adventure, travel, questing, and good vibes~~

Neslin - Rhysand needs the Spring Court's armies in case Kochei pulls off an attack. He also needs Nesta to stop making him look bad. One night, he tricks them both into signing a bargain; complete all the tasks on his list, and he'll give them each something they agreed on. Only one task will appear at a time. The first item? Kiss the other signee of this contract. Amazing race/forced proximity vibes.

None of these have been titled or published as WIP yet. I'm going to start outlining some soon, but if there's a specific story you want to see drop me a comment. I'm also always open to suggestions, if you want to see something from me that I haven't tried yet!

Nesta gave her a once over, “I hope someone recognizes you before you’re cut down. You’ve gotten so skinny I don’t think you’ll be able to keep your feet under you in a swordfight.” 

Feyre shrugged, “I might be out of shape, but I'm still one of the most powerful high fae in Prythian. I can fall back on my magic if I need to.” She gave a devilish smirk, “Once I start misting people I'll have their attention.”

Nesta frowned. “Kill as few as possible, please. I know your mate taught you to be ruthless but our goal here is a truce, not to decimate a former ally’s forces.”
