“James is getting a bit frustrated shut up here, he tries not to show it but I can tell – also, Dumbledore’s still got his Invisibility Cloak, so no chance of little excursions. If you could visit, it would cheer him up so much.”

[bowdawn]

I think what solidifies Jily over Snily for me is that James loved Lily no matter who she was or where she came from. He was a pureblood with a strong lineage growing up in a time where it was especially charged to date someone outside of your status. He became infatuated with her at a young age and didn’t even question her background—and we know that he at least tried to get along with her family because both in books and in interviews it is stated that James met with the Dursleys on various occasions, thus being at least supportive to Lily’s wishes to keep her muggle background in her life.

That’s juxtaposed with Snape who came out the gate bitter and broken down by his background. Yes, him and Lily bonded over being outsiders in their own homes, but where Lily tried to fight her way to some sort of equilibrium, Snape lashed out at his circumstances, wanting to erase all parts of his muggle heritage. He chose to be a death eater because it gave him a semblance of agency and we see in The Prince’s Tale that he at least tries to imbue some of this on Lily by treating Petunia poorly and swaying her to focus solely on her future as a witch.

So to me, even if Snape never joined the DE, I think Lily would have never ended up with him all the same—he was a bitter and a lost soul that didn’t see the merit in a community of people that Lily came from regardless of Voldemorts rise. James saw all parts of her, muggle and witch, and supported and accepted her all the same (just like he did for Lupin and Sirius with their difficult upbringings.)

Lily’s whole life was filled with being an outcast and trying to find her place in two hostile worlds and James gave her the freedom of not needing to care about that because all the mattered was that he loved her and that was enough—and I feel like this gets overlooked.

Here’s a little gift to my lovely friend @separatist-apologist

This Lucien artwork was created by @dkt.artist

They did such an INCREDIBLE job drawing Lucien! He looks so hot! I can’t get over it—-I literally SCREECHED with happiness!

And all the little details on Lucien’s outfit are amazing.

Thank you so much @dkt.artist for this wonderful piece of art!

It was so much fun to work with you! You killed it as always! ❤️

Lucien’s reputation follows him throughout the courts of Prythian, but according to @cauldronblssd , @velidewrites and myself, there’s no reputation more important than being hot as fuck. For Day 6: Reputation of @lucienweekofficial , we’d asked the talented @/kowc0a_ to make those thighs THICK and they’ve had us screaming since the very first sketch.

Thank you @/kowc0a_ for making our vision of Day Court Lucien come to life so beautifully! The sheer amount of details in this piece have us INSANE — just look at the fire wrapped around his arms? His tiny little skirt? The anklets? His reputation really does precede him and all we really want is just ONE chance. Just one. Or two. Maybe three?

@lucienweekofficial Day Five — Home

For this piece, the idea was a headcanon where Elain and Lucien both conveniently are placed within the Day Court and are subject to forced proximity—the bond is riding them both hard. While home will always be a person for these two, I would like to think that they didn’t give each other even a moment of peace before they arrived together at the end.

(Any opportunity for the look of love between Elain and Lucien is one that I take)

Steps crunched on the grass behind us. Nesta whirled, but— Lucien. It was Lucien. Lucien, haggard and bloody, panting for breath. As if he’d run from the shore. — Chapter 78, ACOWAR

According to @moonpatroclus, @cauldronblssd and myself, there is nothing more gentlemanly than being sweaty and covered in blood. For Day 1: Gentleman of @lucienweekofficial, we’d reached out to @/paolapieretti.art to capture exactly that — and oh did she DELIVER. See how his Illyrian leathers tear exactly right to offer us a tasteful peek at the VanTits? See the smear of blood near his fangs? Very demure, very oh-wow-our-legs-just-magically-opened.

A massive thank you to @/paolapieretti.art for doing such a wonderful job on this piece (do you SEE the Night Court insignia on his shoulder plates??) and for being an absolute joy to work with. We hope you love Lucien (or, as we’ve dubbed him in our group chat, War Daddy) as much as we do!

a beautiful little family.

He was about to go home, about to return to the place where he had had a family […] The life he had lost had hardly ever seemed so real to him as at this moment, when he knew he was about to see the place where it had been taken from him. (chapter 16, dh)

Waltz of the Midnight Sun

It's here!

This is a Debut of my full, feature Length Elucien comic! This will be an episodic comic, meaning I'll probably upload once a month and each 'episode' will contain several pages!

Elain has always been different from her two Sisters, Nesta and Feyre Archeron. Since she was a child she had experienced strange visions that had spoken to her in riddles. When her sisters moved to Velaris to be with their Vampire mates, Elain found herself doing her best to fit in. Her life has since then been simple and comfortable, though curiosity to what lies beyond the protections of Velaris and the Night Court call to her. As her visions become stronger leaving her unable to ignore them further, she finds herself in a very curious predicament with a charming and mysterious vampire Lord named Lucien. Elain has broken ancient vampiric code and thanks to Lucien's quick thinking, saves her from facing an ill fate. Unfortunately... it's forced the two of them into a dangerous game of charades. While dealing with the consequences of their actions, both Elain and Lucien work together to unravel the secrets of the courts, unveiling dark plans that will uproot the precious balance of peace they have known for centuries. Can Elain and Lucien continue their dance of deception and save Prythian, or will their charade fall apart and destroy an ancient treaty amongst the vampire courts? Follow the story to find out!

Release date coming soon!!
