🌸New Beginnings🦇

For the first prompt of @elriel-month I wanted to depict the tenderness Elain displays towards Azriel’s biggest insecurity; and the wildly talented @lamonyo captured this so beautifully and brilliantly!!

For this Elriel Month we had the fun idea of creating Elain as a celebrity and Azriel being her bodyguard. Azriel may have this brooding personality, but with Elain he has a soft side where he would do just about anything for her - including holding all her shopping bags 😂. We're so happy how this came about and hope you enjoy this fun piece as much as we do!

So excited to share this commission with you! I’ve headcanoned Elain calling Azriel her shadow as a term of endearment for years now and love the idea of her putting on a pretty, little outfit to welcome him home after a mission. Of course, we had to make this a little cheeky too. 🍑😏

@ruisfree was such a pleasure to work with and her talent is beyond anything my mind could’ve imagined for this piece. Thank you, lovely, for bringing this idea to life! 💕

For @elriel-month

[elriel-month]

“It had ever gone this far. They’d exchange looks, an occasional brush of their fingers, but never this. Never blatant, unrestricted touching. Wrong—it was so wrong.”

“He didn’t care.”

Elriel Month officially begins next week and as a little gift, we have this beautiful piece by @/giulopesart (IG), commissioned by @lesolehabitantdelalune to give you a taste of what May has in store! 🌹🦇 We hope you’re as excited as we are!! 💕

Elriel Month 2024 - New Beginnings

@elriel-month

Soft steps padded from under the stair archway,* and there she was.

The faelights gilded Elain's unbound hair, making her glow like the sun at dawn. She halted, her breath catching in her throat.

One, this is poetic as hell, which we should know to expect from mister "I don't need to resort to poetry."

But two? I love the dawn imagery Azriel used, which is suggestive of hope, change and light; that he sees in Elain a chance for a new beginning.

One of which he doesn't currently dare to dream.

*Side note but I've just realised that the "stair archway" reads like a GATE omg 😳 iykyk. Still hoping my thoughts about Elain and her magic leading to the land's rebirth/travel "places" will come true.

Is the story of Elain and Azriel not the oldest trope in the world? For everyone acting like this is so unheard of, I ask--is falling in love with someone who isn't arranged and meant for you so novel?

It is literally Romeo and Juliet. Two people are forbidden from being together, and falling in love regardless. Two people choosing to love against all odds.

Is it not the story of Dante and Beatrice? (though supposedly not acted upon)

Is it not the story of Paolo and Francesca Rimini?

Queen Margot?

Is it not the basis of 'Shakespeare in Love' and 'Titanic'?

Antony and Cleopatra?

Heloise and Abelard?

Guinevere and Lancelot?

The list goes on and on .

The same people who hate Elriel, swoon over Helion and LoA tragic story. They shed tears over Asterin and her hunter, whilst it's essentially the same story as Elriel.

Are people really that desperate to read another fated mates or mated fates or whatever it is story from SJM? When they can have delicious angst, struggle, choice, pain, passion?

When we speak of 'choice', is it not what we all want? To choose our own paths in life, and not have them dictated by someone else.

The promise of Elriel is delicious because it's so messy. Because choice is messy.

For the past 4 years, I’ve written a 300k+ word novel called “I Do Bad Things with You,” and to celebrate its ending, I wanted to have a very special artwork that I could use as the cover of this fic (because yes, I will be getting this bound). There’s nobody else that could’ve brought this idea to life for me. I’m so incredibly thankful to Katie for taking on this commission. It is truly so beautiful and I honestly cannot stop looking at all the details she was able to put in for me.

Thank you, Katie, for your expertise, your gorgeous work, and your friendship in creating this magical piece. 💖

You can read the entire fic, plus the prequels, here. 🌹🦇

Double Feature

Prompt: Hold Tight and Don't Make a Sound, @elriel-month

Summary: Alone in a movie theater, Elain and Azriel find themselves distracted from what's on the screen.

Notes: Porn without plot, (semi?) public sex, no other content warnings apply

The full story can be found on A03.

Excerpt:

“Two for the Suriel double feature, please.” Elain Archeron gasped as she pressed herself against the dull metal counter of the movie theater’s ticket booth. The marquee only extended out about a foot and she was already half soaked from the fifteen foot sprint from her boyfriend Azriel’s car. She was lucky she hadn’t fallen in her ankle-wrap wedges.

“That will be $37.28,” the forest green haired teenager behind the lightly fogged glass replied without looking up from his mobile phone.

Elain pulled Azriel’s credit card from the pocket of the hoodie he insisted she wear, confirmed that it hadn’t gotten wet, then slipped it through the rectangular slot in the glass. While the cashier ran the card she pulled off the thick cotton jacket and shook it out hoping to get any excess water off before it had a chance to sink in. She breathed a sigh of relief when she looked down; Azriel’s large black hoodie had protected her lilac sundress. She was pretty sure it would be transparent if it got wet.

“Theater two.”

Taking the pale blue tickets and the credit card Elain smiled at the boy. “Thank you. I like your hair by the way.”

He looked up from his phone, had he even looked up to run her card?, and stared at her, his dark brown eyes going wide in his narrow face. He had to still be in high school. “Uh, thanks. Uh, the rain is really coming down isn’t it?” He stammered as color bloomed in his cheeks.

“It’s ridiculous isn’t it?” Elain half turned, squinting into the dark gray night towards the parking lot. Despite the heavy curtain of rain she should have been able to spot Azriel by now. “They said 20% chance of rain tonight. At least these storms are usually short lived.”

She gestured towards the door. “I’m just going to wait inside. Have a good night.”

“Good night,” the teenager called, his voice an octave lower.

Elain shivered as the cool air of the lobby met her rain-kissed skin. She paused just inside the doors taking in the Rainbow Arthouse Theater. Gold and cream accented the burgundy walls, the colors repeating in the tile floor and a paisley print on the ceiling. Elain loved the elegant, old school charm; all of the decor was either original to the second oldest movie theater in Velaris or a near replica.

Shoes squeaking on the gold and cream floor, Elain made her way to the young woman behind the concession counter. Realizing she had a customer and not just someone smiling politely her way, the cashier smiled brightly and enthusiastically asked what she would like.

“I don’t think I’ve ever seen the lobby so empty,” Elain commented. It had taken her a moment to realize that she and the cashier were the only people in sight. Her younger sister and her husband were probably already seated.

The young woman gave a noncommittal shrug as she filled two sodas. “A few people came in not too long ago for Carynthian Fighter 3, but Wednesdays are usually pretty slow. If you’re here for the Suriel double feature then you might be the only one in your theater. The special screenings usually only fill up the first two nights and the last night.”

Elain frowned. She needed to check her phone; hopefully Feyre and Rhys were running late.

“I’m meeting two others, and I’m here with my boyfriend,” a small thrill pulsed through her, she and Azriel had only been dating for six weeks. “He let me off at the front while he parked. I’m not sure what’s taking him - speak of the devil.”

Azriel stood where Elain had minutes before, securing the snap on her clear bubble umbrella, the shoulders of his black tee shirt and bottoms of his dark jeans marred with water spots. He must have felt her eyes on him because when he looked up there was a small smile on his impossibly handsome face.

Elain wasn’t sure if he was a devil or a fallen angel.
