Elain and Azriel have a flower language.

It started out small. Before Azriel flew off on missions, Elain would tuck a small sprig of Apple Blossom into his leathers near his heart. A reminder to be safe.

Once Azriel taught Elain how to winnow, they began sending little clusters of forget-me-nots to each other when apart for long stretches of time, saying “I miss you”

“I love you” became Lily of the Valley. It lines the long walkway to their cottage and it can be found in small vases and pots all over the inside of their home.

When Elain has one of her bad, heavy days, she leaves a small cutting of dark purple irises on the kitchen table. When Azriel sees these he knows to leave her be and let her come to him when she’s ready.

Similarly, when Azriel has had a hard day, when he’s had to torture someone for information or kill someone or something out of necessity, when he feels a bit hollow and not good, he leaves a ghost orchid near Elain. “I need some space to clear my head.”

When Azriel returns, it’s generally long after Elain has gone to bed. He crawls under his covers, trying not to disturb her and smiles for the first time that day when he sees the cluster of lobelias on his nightstand. “I know you. You are not a monster.”

Azriel and Elain rarely fight, but when they do, “Forgive me” is always said with a peony.

Elain and Azriel don’t generally have to spend much time around Lucien. Their bond was refused mutually and respectfully, but being around each other still isn’t… easy. The tug is still there, pushed down and ignored, but still there. Whenever they are around Lucien, Elain wears a sprigs of cedar in her hair, to remind Azriel, “I choose you. I belong to you as you belong to me.”

Whenever Azriel comes home from a mission or battle injured or Elain is suffering through her cycle, they cover the other’s bedside in brightly covered, cheerful celosia. 

Azriel and Elain’s anniversary is generally a quiet affair. They prefer a long day spent (unclothed) together and a nice dinner. Azriel always gives Elain a flower crown of cyclamen, loving how the pinkish-purple looks against her sun lightened hair.

The two of them are quite reserved in public in terms of PDA and discussing the more physical aspects of their relationship. The rest of the inner court has very little shame or shyness when it comes to flirting or when they’re feeling amorous but Elain and Azriel like to keep that side of their relationship to themselves. Their initial code for “sex now, please” all started with a crushed rose that Elain hastily tore off bush and pressed into Azriel’s hand when he was taking too long debriefing Rhysand after coming back from a long excursion to the mortal lands. It eventually evolves into something a bit more sophisticated. An armful of larkspur from Elain means, “You better be inside me within the next five minutes otherwise I will mount you in front of all of our friends”

Azriel returns the sentiment by greeting Elain with a small posy of silver laced primrose, conveying “I need you on your knees with you mouth on me soon or I think I might die.”

Some nights Azriel will return home to a single red tulip on the kitchen table, Elain’s way of shyly asking for kinky, rough sex.

Other times he would find a pale pink camellia, Elain signaling to him that she’s in the mood for sweet, gentle sex.

Azriel’s favorite days where when a red tulip paired with a pink rosebud would be winnowed to him or found on the kitchen counter. His darling wife was in the mood for rough, kinky sex and anal play.

The inner court always commented on how sweet it was when randomly during the day, Azriel would surprise Elain with a small handful of honeysuckle, not knowing that was his code for “I really need to eat you out right now”

Or when Elain would winnow to see Azriel at the House of Wind, still covered in sweat and dirt from her garden, marching past Rhysand and Cassian to hand Azriel a freshly cut anthurium, wordlessly telling him, “ I need your cock in my mouth and I need it now.”

Aelin: Cancelling plans is okay. Staying home to read a book is okay. Disappearing for a bit to get your life together is okay. Resurfacing in a foreign country with a new name ten years later is okay.

Aelin: It’s called self-care.
