Rhysand, the guy who can just turn a threat into literal mist with half a thought, said Azriel still sometimes scares the shit out of him.

Feyre took one look at Azriel and thought yep, this is the one to watch out for, hope my mental shields are up.

Bryce fell from the sky, saw Azriel and was like oh look a beautiful DEMON.

And Elain Archeron really be out there fixing Azriel's headaches, kissing his cheek, letting her fingers touch his and giving him shy little looks.

[nicawritesandwhines]

I’m always so surprised when people say that Feyre ending with Rhysand was a surprise. WHAT DO YOU MEAN?

feyre's attraction to rhys in early acotar will never not be funny and most pleasing to me

tamlin very obviously doesn't like rhys and feyre is still blushing at rhys having a sexy voice like ooo i'd be sick jfgshnkjfn

FEYRE CONTROL ITT

can't help but to add that he has a "perfect face." mind you her man who hates him is three feet away, being taunted in his own home fdjkshgskjg

she's in pain here...

"slid along my bones, warming my blood" oh, i'm sure

these are only a few examples of many where she's attracted to rhys even when she supposedly hates him. not even including how many times she thinks about being drawn to him and being able to be more honest and herself with him than anyone.

#REAL lovers

You know how I know?

You know how I know that Gwynriel doesn't exist, there was never a GA book planned, that it was never going to be a thing, that there was never going to be any Ilyrian plot, or that SJM never breadcumbed any GA hints or foreshadowing, and never planned for any 'Azriel book'.

It's actually rather simple. SJM told us so herself.

SJM told us what stories she wanted to tell. She told us 'i know what the next book will be about (Nesta) and the one after that...' She told us ' I wanted to tell the sisters' stories', and then, after ACOSF was already published, she yet again reiterated that she knew that the next book would be about and it's the last book that she wasn't sure about. It's the last book that she had 5 couples to potentially choose from. But she didn't know.

So, if 'Azriel's book' was going to be next, after ACOSF, and SJM had Gwynriel all pre-planned, then, logically, Elucien's book would've been the next and final book.

Let's flip it!

Say the next book would be Elucien, and the final book would be Gwynriel, which is supposedly set up and ready to go post-ACOSF.

Then, the question is, if Gwynriel has been planned all throughout ACOSF, and breadcumbed, and romantic languaged, and you name it, then...why wouldn't SJM herself not know what the final book would be about?

The math, my friends, isn't mathing on this one.

Because if we had Gwynriel all set up and Elucien and their amazing bond, then why wouldn't SJM simply say 'yes, I know the next 2 couples.'

Which also tells me that Elucien will NOT be the last book.

Basically me with Christmas.

AND. THERE. WILL. BE. EGGNOG. OR. ELSE.

When Azriel returned to the river house to gather his presents before dawn, he found Elain's necklace amid the pile. (Az bonus)

This is proof Sarah ended Elriel in the bonus chapter. Elain rejected him. They don’t speak or even look at each other after this.

End of story.

Hi anon-

I’ll just answer with canon.

Nesta and Cassian:

Aelin and Rowan:

Hunt and Bryce:

I’m not concerned at all, anon.

This is a very common miscommunication trope SJM has used repeatedly with her endgame couples.

This scene is one of my favorite scenes of Elain and Azriel! I have always wanted an art inspired by this scene. It’s such a simple scene yet conveys a lot. Elain is still going through trauma and Azriel is one of the few people who can make her open up and be comfortable. Hopefully this fanart expressed that!

The artist that created this beautiful scene? Is non other than @jessamyart I have been in love with Jess drawing style for ages. She truly is the sweetest person to work with, they way she just didn’t bring me vision to life, she truly created a work of art. Thank you again for taking me on this journey it was an absolute pleasure, and I cannot wait to work with you again!

This is my solstice gift to all of you! To my little Elriel family, my angry little potatoes, this year wouldn’t have been the same without your constant support!

Happy Birthday to my beloved Feyre!

Side characters have trauma too (TW: SA/Rape)

Ansel saw her family being murdered. Asterin had her baby thrown into the fire and was branded. Fenrys saw his twin brother died and also was SA by Maeve god only knows how many years. Emerie suffered DV and had her wings clipped by her own father. Gwyn saw her twin sister die and was raped.

Having a trauma in SJM is the standard and does not make the character into main character material. You being curious and wanting to know more about a side character created to support the main character’s journey speaks more about SJM gift in writing good characters than main character potential.

Stop arguing that just because Gwyneth has trauma, she needs her own book to tell her story and her healing. She already did that, right next to Nesta, by becoming a Valkyrie. “Oh, but she is still in the library!” Yup, and she still a Valkyrie and I’m sure when she is needed in battle, she will be there too. Who knows, maybe riding a Pegasus into the rainbow! But she will not have her own book, guys.

It’s like The Sopranos: the show is over, find a new show. Move on.

[nicawritesandwhines]

And that’s Silver Flames’ plot right there hahahahahahahaaha

[nicawritesandwhines]

[nicawritesandwhines]

“Hey, stay out of it, this is a Gwynriel and Elucien fight!”

Oh dear, please do carry on! I’m just here minding my own business, while doing my dishes, waiting for May. But surely it’s entertaining as hell to watch hahaha

[nicawritesandwhines]

Never not reblogging this post!

FRIENDLY REMINDER:

The only woman Azriel has had explicit sexual thoughts about in canon is Elain Archeron. My man is not thinking about anyone but her. (And the most important part of this is that Elain welcomed this and was into it just as much as Azriel was into her. I love a mutual attraction)

He NEEDED to know what ELAIN tasted like…her skin, her neck, her sex.

He NEEDED to know what ELAIN’S breasts and lips tasted like.

He NEEDED ELAIN coming on his tongue.

The woman he’d get down on his knees for, for just a chance to taste her is ELAIN.

The woman he has spent every night for an entire year thinking about, and stroking and fisting himself to the mere thought of her was ELAIN

The woman whose lip he was desperate to bite was ELAIN

The woman whose neck he couldn’t help but stroke and caress was ELAIN.

The woman whose arousal caused his eyes to drift back into his head was ELAIN

The woman whose face he imagined as he penetrated her for the first time was ELAIN.

The woman he was willing to risk it all for even though it was wrong, oh so wrong, was ELAIN.

[nicawritesandwhines]

She will be High Priestess

She either will be revealed to be Helion’s granddaughter or Beron’s granddaughter

Here's a quick summary of what gwynr*iels expect/want gwyn to do in her supposed book:

1- Gwyn will wield Gwydion (because their names are similar, it doesn’t matter how stupid it is, but yes, she will)

2- Gwyn will wield TT

3- Gwyn will be Nyx's favorite auntie (her last name is Berdara, not Archeron)

4- Gwyn will become the Valkyries' leader

5- She will resurrect the Dusk Court

6- She will befriend Rhysand, and they'll bond over their trauma (she already made him a frienship bracelet)

7- Gwyn will defeat Koschei

8- She will ride a Pegasus

9- She will play with Azriel's shadows.

10- She will play with Azriel himself

11- She might be a seer

12- She will be related to the Illyrian plot (which, for the moment, is still plotless)

13- She will discover she's mated to Azriel before he does.

Feel free to add anything

Can’t help to find hilarious that there’s genuinely a fight to determine who are the MCs in the next book!

“It’s Azriel’s book next!” One side barks.

“It’s Elain’s, shut up!” The other replies.

They are so close to getting it… soooo close…

Elriels over here just chilling, waiting for May.

@elriel-month

Preview below the cut:

“Did you know,” he started, settling himself between her hips and kissing the swell of each breast. “That I spent night after night,” he continued, lining himself up at her entrance as she bent a knee and hooked a leg over his hips, “both trying and trying not to imagine what your beautiful face might look like as I entered you?”

Elain’s eyes softened further at his confession, and she tangled her hands in his hair. Azriel leaned down to press one tender kiss to her lips before drawing his head back to watch her face as he pushed his cock into her. Her perfect lips parted on an exhale as he slid into her slowly, studying her face all the while.

“Even better than I ever could have imagined,” he whispered, running a thumb over her lips as he seated himself completely within her. 

They took a moment to get adjusted before he started moving. He made love to her slowly, sliding his length out of her and then rolling his hips to push gently back in, without breaking his gaze from her face. Her hair was fanned out behind her on the soft pillow of warm sand. Her ivory, freckled skin glowed in the moonlight. The sounds of lapping waves intermingled with her quiet breathing as he slowly, slowly rolled into and out of her. Savoring every inch of contact. Every sensation.
