⚘  𝐦𝐢𝐬𝐜 𝐩𝐫𝐨𝐦𝐩𝐭𝐬,  accepting.  ⦙   𝑄. ⍮     “  i trust you with my life.  ”   ..   @hereticalsouls​,   lucien.

after weeks spent meeting in the library,   exchanging stories from childhood,   sometimes even the ones that she didn’t consider to be pleasant,   she had finally let him into her garden.   and after spending even more time rejecting a mating bond that she once loathed,   elain now finds herself inhaling the scent of the blossoming flowers that surround them as her back presses into his chest with a book in hand.   she doesn’t know when they began to read to each other,   only that at some point the seer had began to unknowingly start reading the books in the section of the library that feyre had dedicated as lucien’s space.   and when he’d found her curled up in the chair that was apparently his,   one of his favorite books in her lap,   he’d only laughed it off and taken the one opposite of it.

the words come out of nowhere.   elain can feel the blood that rises to her cheeks and neck,   painting them a dark shade of red,   akin to the locks that frame her face.   she stops reading mid-sentence,   pivoting until she’s facing him,   placing the book on the ground at her side.   “  i’m afraid i’m unworthy  .  .  ”   her words trail off while she reaches for one of his hands,   grabbing hold it with both of hers,   warm and gentle.   the female leans forward to press her lips to the skin of his cheek,   soft against his sun-kissed skin.   “  but thank you.   for trusting me.  ”   a sheepish grin is at elain’s lips as she ducks her head,   tendrils the color of honey framing her face.   “  i trust you with mine,   too.  ”

⚘  𝐦𝐢𝐬𝐜 𝐩𝐫𝐨𝐦𝐩𝐭𝐬,  accepting.  ⦙   𝑄. ⍮     “  there’s nothing i wouldn’t do to keep you safe.  ”   ..   @stareternals​.

the book in hand is what’s holding the seer’s attention,   so much so that she barely hears it when her sister speaks.   elain lifts her head in the direction of her voice,   dumbfounded for only a second or two,   until she closes the book in order to give the younger her undivided attention.   “  feyre  .  .  .   i know you mean well,   but i don’t need you to protect me anymore.  ”   the words sound a bit more harsh than she had intended them to,   so much so that she physically winces after she’s spoken them.

elain rises from her seat and pads across the room to stand before her sister   --   her hand lowers to grab ahold of hers,   clasping her fingers around the smooth skin.   “  you have had to protect and take care of me for so long,   and i just  .  .     you should not have had to in the first place.   but especially now ;   you are mated,   and a mother,   and  --   i should be the least of your concerns.   i know old habits are hard to break,   but just   .  .  .   please don’t waste your time worrying about me.  ”

⚘  𝐦𝐢𝐬𝐜 𝐩𝐫𝐨𝐦𝐩𝐭𝐬,  accepting.  ⦙   𝑄. ⍮     “  you’re worth more than this.  ”   ..   @hereticalsouls​,   rhysand.

velaris’ starlight shines down on them from where they stand on the balcony,   stars twinkling beneath their gaze   --   and she swears they burn brighter than when she looks at them from the window in what she’s come to call her room,   almost as if they only truly come to life only in his presence.   “  rhys  --  ”   her fingers coil around the silk fabric of her sleeves ;   clad in proper night court clothing,   the black a contrast to her creamy skin and the bright whorls of ink that cover the back of her hands  &.  travel up her arms.   his mark.   the symbol of the deal they’d made only five months ago under the mountain,   yet it felt like a lifetime away already.   but she knows she would make it again in a heartbeat,   knows that she would do anything to keep her sister safe.   and it wasn’t like she hated coming to the night court for that one week a month ;   in truth,   she counted down the days until he would come to whisk her away again  .  .     not that she ever voiced it aloud.   elain knows that she should,   but she fears that such a confession will result in him distancing himself from her.   he’s good at that.

“  don’t say that.  ”   it’s all she can think of to say without wearing her heart on her sleeve and expressing just about every thought that runs rampant,   every desire she has to take his hand into hers and pour every ounce of love she has into him.   instead,   her hands find purchase on the balcony and she squeezes until her knuckles turn white,   as if perhaps she wishes nothing more than to meld herself to the metal.   elain is silent for a long moment,   gathering her thoughts,   until her lips part to speak.   “  i wish that you didn’t act like you harbor me here against my will when you do not.   ”

[dovesdeath]

i’m working on getting all of my asks / replies queued up tonight, but i’ll update my doc with verses n such sometime tomorrow !! in the meantime, if any of y’all wanna plot something out pls let me know !! i’m itching to get back to writing her <3

⚘  𝐦𝐢𝐬𝐜 𝐩𝐫𝐨𝐦𝐩𝐭𝐬,  accepting.  ⦙   𝑄. ⍮     “  i’ve got you,   you’re safe.  ”   ..   @stareternals​.

death’s icy talons grip her,   pale and freckled skin marred with its bruises as it tears her to pieces underneath the surface of the water.   her desperate thrashing can only do so much against the dark as it surrounds her,   consumes her,   until it is all that runs through her very veins.   her blood pours from her limbs and is replaced with that deep and ancient magic.   her lungs burn with every desperate attempt to suck in air,   only met with water forcing its way down her throat instead.   SHE HAS BEEN HERE BEFORE.   and she returns to it every time she manages to fall asleep.   elain  .  .     it calls out to her,   deep and dark and daunting.   elain  .  .  .

‘  ELAIN !  ’   her sister shouts from above her,   hands clutching her shoulders as she shakes her awake.   the middle archeron bolts to sit upright,   shaking feyre’s grip from her as hands raise to wipe the beads of sweat that trail down her forehead.   elain struggles even to breathe,   the air rattling in her chest.   ‘  i’ve got you,   you’re safe.  ’   the words take a moment to sink in as she glances around at her surroundings,   chest still rapidly rising and falling.   a nightmare   --   the same one she has had for months now,   yet it still pulls the same reaction from her.   her cheeks flush.   she’s embarrassed.   this is the second time this week that feyre has had to wake her in the middle of the night.   “  i’m sorry for waking you,  ”   are the first words that leave her mouth,   albeit they’re hoarse,   wincing at the rawness in the back of her throat when she speaks.   she must have been yelling again.   “  can you light the fire?   the dark   --   it unsettles me.  ”

❛ The more that you say the less I know ❜

❛ Wherever you stray I will follow ❜

❛ I’m begging for you to take my hand ❜

❛ I come back stronger than a 90’s trend ❜

❛ Wait for the signal and I’ll meet you after dark ❜

❛ Show me the places where the others gave you scars ❜

❛ I should’ve known from the look on your face ❜

❛ Every bait and switch was a work of art ❜

❛ That’s my man ❜

champagne problems

❛ Your heart was glass, and I dropped it ❜

❛ I dropped your hand while dancing left you out there standing ❜

❛ Now no one’s celebrating ❜

❛ I can’t give you a reason ❜

❛ This dorm was once a madhouse ❜

❛ I never was ready, so I watch you go ❜

❛ Sometimes you just don’t know the answer till someone’s on their knees and asks you. ❜

❛ She would’ve made such a lovely bride, what a shame she’s stuck in her head. ❜

❛ You won’t remember all my champagne problems ❜

gold rush

❛ I don’t like a gold rush ❜

❛ I don’t like anticipating my face in a red flush ❜

❛ I don’t like that anyone would die to feel your touch ❜

❛ Everybody wants you ❜

❛ Everybody wonders what it would be like to love you ❜

❛ I don’t like slow motion double vision in rose blush ❜

❛ I don’t like that falling feels like flying till the bone crush ❜

❛ What must it be like to grow up that beautiful? ❜

❛ The coastal town we wandered round had never seen a love as pure as it ❜

❛ You know it could never be ❜

❛ My mind turns your life into folklore ❜

❛ I can’t dare to dream about you anymore ❜

❛ At dinner parties I won’t call you out on your contrarian wit ❜

‘tis the damn season

❛ If I wanted to know who you were hanging with while I was gone, I would’ve asked you. ❜

❛ So we could call it even ❜

❛ You could call me “babe” for the weekend ❜

❛ The road not taken looks real good now ❜

❛ The holidays linger like bad perfume ❜

❛ You can run but only so far ❜

❛ I escaped it too, remember how you watched me leave ❜

❛ But if it’s okay with you, it’s okay with me ❜

❛ I’m missing your smile ❜

❛ We could just ride around ❜

❛ Sleep in half the day, just for old times’ sake ❜

❛ I won’t ask you to wait, if you don’t ask me to stay ❜

❛ The heart I know I’m breaking is my own ❜

❛ It always leads to you and my hometown ❜

❛ You could call me “babe” for the weekend 'tis the damn season ❜

tolerate it

❛ I notice everything you do or don’t do ❜

❛ If it’s all in my head tell me now ❜

❛ Tell me I’ve got it wrong somehow ❜

❛ I know my love should be celebrated, but you tolerate it ❜

❛ I take your indiscretions all in good fun ❜

❛ I polish plates until they gleam and glisten ❜

❛ While you were out building other worlds, where was I? ❜

❛ Now I’m begging for footnotes in the story of your life ❜

❛ I’m always taking up too much space or time ❜

❛ You assume I’m fine ❜

no body, no crime

❛ We meet up every Tuesday night for dinner and a glass of wine ❜

❛ It smells like infidelity ❜

❛ No, there ain’t no doubt ❜

❛ I think I’m gonna call him out ❜

❛ I think he did it but I just can’t prove it ❜

❛ No body, no crime ❜

❛ I ain’t letting up until the day I die ❜

❛ I’ve cleaned enough houses to know how to cover up a scene ❜

❛ They think I did it but they just can’t prove it ❜

❛ I wasn’t letting up until the day he died ❜

happiness

❛ I see this for what it is ❜

❛ I was dancing when the music stopped ❜

❛ In the disbelief I can’t face reinvention ❜

❛ I haven’t met the new me yet ❜

❛ There’ll be happiness after you ❜

❛ I would’ve loved you for a lifetime ❜

❛ When did your winning smile begin to look like a smirk? ❜

❛ When did all our lessons start to look like weapons pointed at my deepest hurt? ❜

❛ I can’t see facts through all of my fury ❜

❛ You haven’t met the new me yet ❜

❛ There’ll be happiness after me ❜

❛ There is happiness in our history ❜

❛ I can’t make it go away by making you a villain ❜

❛ I pulled your body into mine every goddamn night now I get fake niceties ❜

❛ No one teaches you what to do when a good man hurts you, and you know you hurt him too ❜

dorothea

❛ Do you ever stop and think about me? ❜

❛ I got nothing but well wishes for ya ❜

❛ This place is the same as it ever was ❜

❛ It’s never too late to come back to my side ❜

❛ Are you still the same soul? ❜

❛ Are you still the same soul? I met under the bleachers ❜

❛ They all wanna be ya ❜

coney island

❛ If I can’t relate to you anymore then who am I related to? ❜

❛ Did I close my fist around something delicate? ❜

❛ Did I shatter you? ❜

❛ Sorry for not making you my centerfold ❜

❛ Lost again with no surprises ❜

❛ It gets colder and colder when the sun goes down ❜

❛ What’s a lifetime of achievement? ❜

❛ I pushed you to the edge but you were too polite to leave me ❜

❛ Do you miss the rogue who coaxed you into paradise and left you there? ❜

❛ Will you forgive my soul? ❜

❛ Will you forgive my soul when you’re too wise to trust me and too old to care? ❜

❛ Sorry for not winning you an arcade ring ❜

❛ Close your eyes ❜

❛ Did I leave you hanging every single day? ❜

❛ Did I paint your bluest skies the darkest gray? ❜

❛ When I got into the accident the sight that flashed before me was your face ❜

❛ The sight that flashed before me was your face when the sun goes down ❜

ivy

❛ Your touch brought forth an incandescent glow ❜

❛ My pain fits in the palm of your freezing hand ❜

❛ Your opal eyes are all I wish to see ❜

❛ I’d live and die for moments that we stole ❜

❛ It’s a violent blaze in the dark and you started it ❜

❛ It’s the fiercest fight of my life and you started it ❜

❛ You started it ❜

cowboy like me

❛ Dancing is a dangerous game ❜

❛ I’m never gonna love again ❜

❛ I’ve got some tricks up my sleeve ❜

❛ Takes one to know one ❜

❛ Never wanted love, just a fancy car ❜

❛ I could be the way forward ❜

❛ You’re a bandit like me ❜

❛ Never thought I’d meet you here ❜

❛ It could be love ❜

❛ You’re a cowboy like me ❜

❛ I know I’ll pay for it ❜

❛ Forever is the sweetest con ❜

long story short

❛ I tried to pick my battles til the battle picked me ❜

❛ I fell from the pedestal ❜

❛ Long story short, it was a bad time ❜

❛ Long story short, it was the wrong guy ❜

❛ Now I’m all about you ❜

❛ I’m all about you ❜

❛ I always felt I must look better in the rear view ❜

❛ When I dropped my sword, I threw it in the bushes and knocked on your door ❜

❛ But if someone comes at us, this time I’m ready ❜

❛ No more keeping score ❜

❛ I just know there’s more ❜

❛ I wanna tell you not to get lost in these petty things ❜

❛ He feels like home ❜

❛ Long story short, I survived ❜

marjorie

❛ Never be so kind, you forget to be clever ❜

❛ Never be so clever, you forget to be kind ❜

❛ What died didn’t stay dead ❜

❛ Never be so polite, you forget your power ❜

❛ Never wield such power, you forget to be polite ❜

❛ The autumn chill that wakes me up ❜

closure

❛ It’s been a long time ❜

❛ Seeing the shape of your name still spells out pain ❜

❛ It wasn’t right the way it all went down ❜

❛ Yes, I got your letter ❜

❛ Yes, I’m doing better ❜

❛ It cut deep to know ya, right to the bone ❜

❛ I know that it’s over ❜

❛ I don’t need your “closure” ❜

❛ Don’t treat me like some situation that needs to be handled ❜

❛ I’m fine with my spite ❜

❛ I know I’m just a wrinkle in your new life ❜

❛ You’re reaching out across the sea that you put between you and me ❜ but it’s fake and it’s so unnecessary ❜

evermore

❛ I’ve been down since July ❜

❛ I replay my footsteps on each stepping stone trying to find the one where I went wrong. ❜

❛ I was catching my breath, staring out an open window ❜

❛ I had a feeling so peculiar that this pain would be for evermore ❜

❛ I can’t remember what I used to fight for ❜

❛ Can’t think of all the cost and all the things that will be lost now ❜

❛ When I was shipwrecked I thought of you ❜

❛ In the cracks of light I dreamed of you ❜

❛ In the cracks of light I dreamed of you and it was real enough to get me through ❜

❛ I had a feeling so peculiar that this pain wouldn’t be for evermore ❜

⚘  𝐦𝐢𝐬𝐜 𝐩𝐫𝐨𝐦𝐩𝐭𝐬,  accepting.  ⦙   𝑄. ⍮     “  you’re bleeding   --   how long have you been hiding this?  ”   ..   @hereticalsouls​,   azriel.

“  azriel,   it’s  nothing.  ”   the words are but a lie,   and she barely manages to grit them out before she practically collapses into him.   her knees buckle beneath her weight,   and were she not already gripping onto his arms like her life depended on it,   she would’ve fallen to her feet.   her world spins and the sheer pain threatens her ability to even remain conscious,   darkness beginning to frame her vision.   elain forces herself to focus on him and the shadows that seem to flock to their sides,   forces herself to focus on the scent of pine that clings to him and uses it as her anchor.   she doesn’t know how she managed to stagger back to the estate,   scraped and bruised,   clothes and hair half-dried from the wind.

what was supposed to be a relaxing walk along the sidra went awry when she’d lost her footing and had fallen straight into the water.   before she could fully regain her balance,   the current had knocked her over and the water wasted no time in pulling her under.   the icy shock had been enough to bring her back to the cauldron,   to remind her of the eternity she had spent drowning within its clutches.   she begins to kick and thrash,   limbs moving in just about every direction.   her futile attempts to drag herself to the top do nothing except for sending her crashing into rock after rock,   tearing her gown half to shreds and scraping her skin straight off of her.   one particularly jagged stone slices into her stomach and her hands rush to press against it,   crimson ichor pouring out as she drifts aimlessly,   the current shoving and pulling her every which way.   her lungs burn with the effort to get the oxygen they desperately seek,   and she swallows nothing but water as her mouth opens in a silenced sob.   she is going to die and there is nothing she can do to stop it.   despite her fruitless attempts to get back to the surface,   she only sinks further until darkness descends onto her until she gives in.   when she awoke,   if you could consider being barely conscious as being awake,   she had managed to find herself in one of the less steeper areas of the water  &.  miraculously escaped from the water’s clutches,   spluttering water out onto the ground now at her feet.

“  please don’t tell anyone,  ”   she finally says,   glancing up to meet his gaze:   feyre will never let me leave this damned house again,   elain seems to beg him with the look in her doe eyes.   her hands grasp at his leathers even tighter than before as she sways on her feet,   her legs completely giving out beneath her as she falls into him.

my elain muse is raging what now

[dovesdeath]

finished acosf .. and i have lots of muse ! might bring elain back as part of a y/a multi because keeping track of one blog rather than several is easier, but i’ll sleep on it for the night. <3

[dovesdeath]

okay um .. hi. i’m sorry for going inactive just about as soon as i revamped, but you will notice how life loves to throw curveballs at me. i’ve been taking care of my grandmother after she had a pretty nasty fall a few weeks ago, i failed almost all of my classes for the semester, and i’ve just overall not been in the best place mentally — with family matters to attend to and a big change coming soon that i have to prepare for. to make matters worse, my psychiatrist has prescribed me a new medication that i’ve heard ... very scary things about, so it’s freaking me out a bit. however, this isn’t just a post for me to vent about stuff, so i’ll wrap it up now. i’d like to say i’ll return sometime soon but i’m not a fan of making promises i can’t keep. i hope you all are doing well and taking care of yourselves! of course, if you need to reach me, you’re always free to reach out on discord, archerons#4046.
