absolutely astounding to think of how the entire plot of death note would've gone if light bought gay porn instead of straight porn. he's acting cagey and weird? he's gay, next question. his drawer is primed to explode? that's where he keeps the gay porn, next question. he acts weird around L? gay! he acts weird around girls? gay. he suggested being handcuffed to L? gay!! he's totally gay and he and L should fuck about it. hope this helps!

I think I'm drooling a little bit.🤭 But also... "Mother's crotch" "Cauldron flambé him." Stealing these, if you don't mind @rentfreeatticsquirrel 😁They're brilliant.

Dear Fanfic Writers, I’m Begging You 🙏

Eris casually told Feyre and the others that Tamlin dragged Beron out by the neck in front of his sons to force him into war and it was delightful… and we NEVER got that scene??

I need it. I need the drama, the courtroom silence, the shame on Beron’s face. And since we all know SJM is never gonna write it…

Can someone PLEASE give me this scene in fiction?? I’ll owe you forever. Like. Eternal gratitude. I’ll haunt your inbox with love.

Ohhh i want to know about Spring and Sorcery

Okay so! Spring and Sorcery is the working title for my spiritual successor of The Court of Beauty and Bluebells! I'm planning to use it for the Elucien week prompt of Growth, because I just loved Tamlain's friendship in that one! I think it will be fun to explore Spring's influence on Elain's magic! And of course how her relationship with Lucien will look as her magic changes. I do love the idea of Elain's magic taking on something more nature inspired. And maybe seeing how her Sight is influenced by her surroundings!

Thank you so much @nameless-acotar-weekend ! I had so much fun participating!

Masterlist

First of all thank you so much to everyone who participated! This was just supposed to be a silly little event to express my frustration at SJM not naming so many of her characters and going to (honestly kind of ridiculous) lengths to not give them a name, so I'm super happy so many of you resonated with it enough to create something, and give those characters a name, a voice, a face.

Thank you so much! See you again next year, maybe?

Candles: an Elucien mini fic Word Count: 913 - The beginning wrote itself and then I remembered candles ;)

Link to AO3

In the human realm, when night fell it was quiet. In the Night Court, it seemed to be the opposite. The city, the court itself, nothing slept here. The relative peace of the day was shattered as fae came to life as the light waned.

Elain had never been as enamoured with the constant night life as her sisters and friends. Starfall was beautiful, but it was all so much. There was no time for quiet, no time to merely exist. Always on the move, and there was always something to do. She felt so tired all the time, but she had to take part. She had seen what happened when you didn’t take part. Nesta still didn’t look at her the same, and the guilt could be suffocating.

She had excused herself early from some of the celebrations, and found herself walking through the streets of Velaris on her own. She turned down dimly lit streets, and avoided any that contained the thrill of celebration.

How Lucien found her, she wasn’t sure. Perhaps he’d felt the building stress she was feeling. She’d heard Feyre and Rhysand talk about the bond, and how they felt one another through it. She’d never tried. She’d always pushed it away, pushed Lucien away. Yet he stayed. At first, like a thorn in her side. But over time, she found herself comforted by his everlasting presence. Especially after her fall out with Nesta. She felt a bit like she had lost everyone to other people. But Lucien stayed.

“I’m sorry I was late,” he told her. His voice cocooned her like a warm autumn breeze, and she had to look away from him. “When I didn’t see you, I thought I’d come to find you.”

A year ago, she would have scolded him for being presumptuous. But she had missed him. She’d caught herself looking out for him in the crowds, unintentionally ignoring Azriel’s attempts to draw her into the fray.

“It’s no matter. You’re here now.”

“Would you like to go somewhere else? I know you don’t like the noise.”

The question startled her. No one else had asked her anything like that, and it showed the depth with which Lucien watched her. With no pressure, he’d merely observed her, and catalogued her likes and dislikes. Without asking, he’d become the person who knew her best. Perhaps that was what the mating bond always should have been. Someone who knew her as much if not better than she knew herself. Someone who would hold her hand when she didn’t know what she was doing.

“I’d like that,” Elain whispered softly. There was no need to whisper, but in the quiet of the streets of Velaris, it felt wrong to break the spell over them.

When Lucien smiled, she felt warm, and when he held his hand out to her, she didn’t hesitate. She slid her hand into his, revelling in a warmth that the Night Court lacked, and she barely noticed when he winnowed them from the city.

She didn’t recognise the small clearing with the cabin in which they landed. A quick glance around told her this was Autumn. The golden trees and quiet breeze just screamed ‘Autumn.’ Screamed… Lucien. She wasn’t quite finished admiring the clearing when she felt his hand at the small of her back, guiding her towards that cabin. It was lit with candles, casting a peaceful, warming glow across the walls. And she couldn’t help but feel more at home in this small cabin, than she ever had in the manors spread across the Night Court.

“It’s Eris’, but he said we could borrow it whenever we liked.”

Had he now?

“How presumptuous,” she replied quietly. Lucien’s responding grin made her heart falter, and she could feel herself giving in by the second. She had to look away, drawing her gaze to the pictures lining the walls. She drifted over to them absentmindedly.

Eris with his dogs. Eris’ dogs alone. Eris and their mother. The Lady of Autumn sitting on a throne of hay and leaves at some kind of harvest festival.

But of course, the one that caught her eye was Eris. He was sitting with a young presumed potential heir of Autumn in his lap. Lucien was laughing at something that had happened, and pointing at a dog towards the foreground of the painting. She wondered who had captured such a moment. She was so enamoured with the picture that she barely noticed Lucien approaching until she felt his warmth at her back.

“I had no idea Eris kept things like this.”

She turned to him, taking in the way the candlelight danced along his features. She found herself reaching up to trace the golden patterns on his skin as they stood together in the quiet. It was so much better than the exuberance of the Night Court at Starfall. Lucien stayed still, and Elain had to wonder whether his stillness was him wondering if she’d flee if he moved. She didn’t think she would anymore.

They were alone here. Perhaps that was why everything felt different, charged. There were no eyes on her. No one was waiting for her to make a move so that they could judge her on whether it was right or wrong.

No one was here, deciding whether she could make her own decisions.

She lifted herself onto her toes, and brushed a kiss against his cheek.

“Thank you for bringing me here.”

Hi friends, if anyone's listening as I scream into the void :P I think this is a fun little idea and I am hitting a little writing block, so I thought I'd try to get my creativity to work with this, if anyone's interested :D Ships I'll do: Elain/Lucien (Top one, because I'm working on Elucien week :3) Tamlin/Eris Morrigan/Elain Morrigan/Nesta Tamlin/Elain Tamlin/Nesta Rhysand/Elain (I think I may be like the only one here. I just feel like they could be fun :D They're just so delightfully different) Any of the above as Platonic partnerships.

Send me a number and I’ll write a micro story using the word or phrase

(creator note: I recommend 3-10 sentences but go for a longer piece if you really feel it! Replace pronouns as needed for the character / point of view)
