@nessianweek | Day 05: Behind Closed Doors

Sarah J Maas was once asked during an interview, “What would be the perfect modern-day dates for the ACOMAF couples?”

Sarah said that, “Nesta and Cassian would go to a private island or the Maldives where they would have some quality time alone” 😉☺️

@/kotikomori nailed this perfectly, and showed the sweetness of their mate bond. Thank you @/kotikomori for this devastatingly beautiful artwork of Nesta and Cassian!

𝙻𝚞𝚌𝚒𝚎𝚗 & 𝙴𝚕𝚊𝚒𝚗 🌷🌷

We can’t wait to read Elain and Lucien’s love story. I know Sarah is going to give us so much tension, growth, and healing like she promised. I’m ready for their slow burn to turn into a wild fire that can no longer be contained.

This radiant artwork was done by @thesleepingfoxy Thank you so much Mary for drawing them so beautifully! The details on Elain’s dress and Lucien’s vest are impeccable!

Less than 2 weeks until Valkyrie Appreciation Week

Spooky season is upon us! We didn’t specifically plan for Valkyrie Appreciation Week to fall so close to Halloween, but we kinda love that it does! Nesta does get likened to a witch, and we know Emerie and Gwyn would be right there next to her brewing up some trouble (sorry, couldn’t resist).

Are the leaves changing colors in your part of the world? Ready for some tricks or treats? Or are you just ready for October to move along so we can celebrate our favorite trio? This gorgeous, witchy piece is a @fremuard commission by @amandapearls and @separatist-apologist

@elucienweekofficial

Since the lovely Sarah J Maas said that Elain and Lucien had “tension, growth, and healing” to be found together— @amandapearls and I wanted a piece of art that really showed the tension between these two characters.

Ekilateral.art did a wonderful job, and nailed this concept flawlessly!

Thank you Kelly for this stunning artwork of Elain and Lucien. They look exactly how I imagined them in the books. Just beautiful artwork!

Commissioned by myself and @amandapearls

PS- Sorry this is a couple days early. I’ll be traveling on Day 7 of Elucien Week and wanted to post it before then.

[separatist-apologist]

@amandapearls and I were literally so excited when we saw this commission we had to post it early ahead of @elucienweekofficial!! As always, Lucieart killed it and is just SO wonderful to work with.

Check the piece under the cut and do NOT repost this anywhere.

@elainarcheronweek Day Seven — Growth

This piece could satisfy a few different prompts, but I do see growth as the overarching theme. Elain is currently struggling to accept her new life as a fae and that has been reflected in conversations and other characters’ observations. Having her humanity torn from her was not only traumatic, but she lost both her fiance and the future that she had planned for them at the same time. A heart is a heavy burden to carry.

Elain’s journey in her book is going to be focused on inner healing—and on accepting herself. The pinnacle of being fae is the mating bond, as some fae wait their entire lifespans to find their other half. In Elain’s book, I see her accepting the mating bond with Lucien, and this artwork by my dear friend @/electra.rt is a moment years in the future where there are no wars, only peace, and Elain and Lucien can have a quiet morning with their family. A moment where Elain can reflect on her personal growth and her journey.

I want to thank @/electra.rt again for such a stunning piece of artwork! @amandapearls and I adore how she is able to convey emotions so perfectly in her art, and everything she produces never fails to make me emotional. I cannot wait for our next piece together, my friend 🤍

@nessianweek | Day 01: Banter

My friend @amandapearls and I have been holding onto this commission for months and are so excited to finally share it! We’ve always loved Nesta and Cassian’s banter. @amandapearls and I wanted a commission of Cassian and Nesta strolling along a bridge over the Sidra River in the Night Court. Cassian would be cracking jokes, and Nesta would be unable to contain her laughter. Cassian would, of course, feel cocky about making his mate laugh 😆

Thank you so much @/fate_221, you did an AMAZING job as always. It was a pleasure to work with you!

We love what Sarah once said about these two, that “Lucien and Elain would go to London and tour through the gardens before making their way out to the English countryside. They are the happiest out in nature.” Together.

Thank you so much to glass.squeezer for this beautiful art! You captured the tension and romantic longing between them so wonderfully.

For Elain Day, @amandapearls and myself commissioned this wonderful artwork done by eurephora! Thank you for drawing Elain so beautifully, it was a pleasure to work with you!

We wanted something that depicted this scene in ACOWAR where Feyre looks into Elain's mind:

"She had no mental shields, no barriers. The gates to her mind...solid iron, covered in vines of flowers- or it would have been. The blossoms were all sealed, sleeping buds tucked into tangles of leaves and thorns."

But instead of all the blossoms being sealed- we wanted some of them to be slowly opening up to signify that Elain will eventually open up and get her healing journey in the future!

✨️Let's spread some love and appreciation!✨️

If you got this, it means someone loves your blog! ❤️

Tag 5 mutuals and say what you like about them; their art, fanfiction, positivity, sense of humor... Whatever it is that you find amazing about them!

@freyjas-musings I love chatting with you! I appreciate how willing you are to be a comfort to someone, and that is so rare to find on the internet! Your commissions are always so amazing and I am so happy to call you my friend 🤍

@amandapearls You were one of the very first people I spoke to in the fandom and you have been someone I can come to ever since! I so enjoy our conversations and I am very fortunate that you answered my dm that one day, my friend. I also adore your commissions and I am VERY much looking forward to your Lucien Week pieces.

@acourtdelaluna You are someone I can trust and I love talking theories with you! I enjoy all that you have shared with me and I feel so much more acclimated into the fandom because of you, friend. Your commissions were the first I found when I first joined the fandom and really inspired me to start making my own!

@ladydeatharcheron The best Nesta Archeron defender that you will find in this fandom. You are someone that I can go to about anything and everything and I know that you will listen and will never judge—you’re such a gentle soul. Also! Everyone go and read her Nezriel fanfiction! Every chapter updates makes me giggle and kick my feet 🙈

@sanzy4 My first friend in the ACOTAR fandom. You are someone that I will always cherish. You’re such a bright person and you always make everyone so much happier just by being in your presence. Your commissions always eat and the aesthetic is always so gorgeous! Thank you for being my friend 🤍

Guys this was SO HARD to just pick five because there are SO MANY more that I love. I will tag some below (not all, because I truly am so bad at remembering usernames, but know that I love you all)—
