#Lucien and Azriel: the danger duo

[flowerflamestars]

Starlight: Chapter 2

Lucien Vanserra was on fire. No, he was fire. Lucien was the flame of the forest and bleeding red of the Hunters moon. He was the goddamn fire, not the pain, and he was going to burn the High Priestess of Spring to fucking bone if she didn’t stop touching him. It was an effort, to open his eyes. Inathe wasn’t even pretending to be looking over the freshly accumulated whip marks that rended muscle and skin down his back. Stroking his uninjured shoulder, the tips of her polished nails lingering, catching on the thin fabric of Lucien’s ruined shirt. Lucien was going to cut off her fucking hands.

ACOTAR Circus AU!

1. Feyre Archeron has always wanted to join the circus, so when the acclaimed La Primavera rolls into town, Feyre runs away from home and begs them for a job. 2. The ringmaster, Tamlin, is quite taken by Feyre. Impressed by her liveliness and dexterity, he has her try out for the trapeze act. 3. In addition to ringmaster, Tamlin also performs as the resident lion tamer, having an eerie aptitude for calming the roaring beasts. 4. Feyre does well with the other trapeze artists. So well, in fact, that Tamlin orders her to practice more and more dangerous acts. 5. “The crowds love it, Feyre. And you’re so good at it. Say you’ll try this next trick? Just for me?” 6. But it’s not until Feyre is injured performing the Amaranthine trick, a special series of flips and jumps that hasn’t been performed in 50 years due to its complexity, that Feyre decides she can no longer be a part of La Primavera. 7. She isn’t jobless for too long, however, as La Primavera’s main rival, Circus Starfall, has been trying to recruit her for sometime. 8. After she’s recovered from her injuries, Rhys hires her on the spot, and she joins the team. 9. Circus Starfall also employs Azriel, who performs the deadly accurate knife act, his Truth-Tellers; Cassian, resident strong man; Mor, who dances in the air as part of the aerial red silk act; and Amren, who heads up the business office. 10. Rhys works with Feyre’s new fear of heights by starting out low on the balance beam before working their way up. As they practice together, they find how compatible they are, and Rhys comes up with the idea of performing the tightrope act as a duo. 11. Requiring precise strength and certain place of step as well as mutual trust in each other, the two become like dancers in the air. 12. Feyre’s sisters, concerned for her safety, eventually find her at Circus Starfall. Instead of getting her to leave, Nesta and Elain find themselves getting jobs in the circus as well. 13. Elain, it turns out, makes a great psychic and replaces the late Madame Suriel in her tent. 14. And Nesta, with her no fear attitude, becomes Azriel’s assistant, staring down the knives being thrown around her. She is known as the Goddess of Death for how often she looks Death in the face each night. (This doesn’t stop Cassian from trying to figure out a way for Nesta to perform in his act each night.) 15. Due to Circus Starfall’s rising popularity from the introduction of Feyre and Rhys as a performing duo, Rhys leaves most of his business needs to Amren and Keir, the manager of the Circus of Nightmares (which Rhys never really cared for in the first place but it’s wildly popular with the night crowd and finances a lot of the experimental acts Circus Starfall puts on.) 16. La Primavera suffers as a result, and, in a scandalous move, Tamlin’s box office manager Lucien Vanserra leaves for a job at Circus Starfall as well. 17. Rhys and Feyre debut their new act, the finale for Circus Starfall called The Velaris Duet, which garners rave reviews. Tamlin attempts to redesign La Primavera, but his new consulting partner, Hybern, has some odd ideas that don’t sit well with their clientele.
