Elain and Azriel might have some tea in the garden to sort out the misunderstanding, or they might just...

[azrielsbreedingkink]

It’s just really interesting to me that Feyre pointed out, multiple times, how good Elain and Azriel would be together before there was even a hint of romance between the two.

They’re just sitting in the garden drinking tea and she’s like “nah this ain’t right why aren’t THEY mates???”

Azriel's bucket list

So. Elain and Azriel develop a connection and Elain gifts Azriel a headache powder for Solstice, which brings joy to his miserable soul for the first time in forever. Azriel lies sleepless for a year, staring at said headache powder like a lovesick teenager. The stone-faced Spymaster can't hide his emotions whenever Elain is brought up. There are brushing fingers and exchanged looks. He starts pleasuring himself to the thought of her. Next Solstice, he finds himself alone with Elain. Elain—the goddess—glows like the sun at dawn, flashes her delectable neck and goes "put it on me". What then?

Azriel immediately starts mentally listing all the ways he needs to pleasure Elain, all the parts of Elain he needs to taste like its his bucket list.

◻️ Need to know what the skin of her neck tastes like ◻️ Need to know what those perfect lips taste like. ◻️ Need to know what her sex tastes like. ◻️ Need her coming on my tongue. ◻️ ...

On and on, until he gets himself so hard his pants are straining so badly he's in so much pain he can "hardly think", praying she won't look down (he threw a prayer in there lmao? "Mother save me! Please don't look down, please don't look down, please don't look down..."). He's fighting for his life to not put his teeth to her lips, to not have his eyes roll back in his head, and to not fall to his knees when the scent of her arousal reaches him. I'm sorry but I find it very sweet but also kind of funny how he's spiraling. Mr. "Don't show your hand all at once", "save some for later". He was not going to save anything for later. He was mentally preparing for a goddamn feast.

Yeah. Azriel is falling in love. He's spiraling just like Cassian spiraled over Nesta. Just like Rhys spiraled over Feyre. Falling in love and incredibly aroused. And Elain—the goddess—seems equally into it, pivoting into him and giving him that sexy, sexy offer and permission.

I know it's meant to be hot (and it is), but also, It's all just very endearing to me. Like, I can't help but smile to myself over how its all just kind of sweet.

Elain gifting Nesta a set of books

Elain and Azriel not only give the best solstice presents but they always match as well

Look what I found!

Same night, both Cassian and Azriel are struggling with the sense of inadequacy, jealousy and BOTH ‘couldn’t stand the SIGHT OF IT’. Their women attached to other men.

Still think that Elriel aren’t mates?

— I'm getting her back.

— Then you will die.

— I'm getting her back.

Pretty obvious from the start🦇🌷💕

[lovemyromance]

Elriel Love Languages

Love filled with unspoken understanding, finding comfort in just existing together.

Elain: Acts of Service & Quality Time

Elain expresses love through small, thoughtful gestures that bring comfort and beauty to others - she expresses love by creating spaces of comfort. She finds meaning in quiet actions that speak volumes without words. Azriel also finds solace in shared, quiet moments, and he strives to ground her through touches - whether a steady hand at the small of her back or lingering close to her in the gardens.

She values quiet, intimate moments over grand gestures. Sitting together in companionable silence, walking through a garden, or sharing a meal—those are the moments where she feels closest to someone. 

Azriel: Words of Affirmation & Physical Touch

Azriel doesn’t waste words, so when he speaks, he means it. Because of this, meaningful affirmation is powerful to him. He wants to be told he’s valued, loved, and trusted. Since he expresses his feelings through short but profound phrases, being with Elain will help him express the feelings he usually keeps hidden.

He might be restrained on the outside, but he craves connection through subtle physical gestures, especially from someone he trusts. A gentle brush of Elain’s hand against his, the weight of her leaning into him while walking, or a brief, lingering touch on his scarred hands are what he craves.

[intairnwetrust]

You know one of the things I like to imagine for Elriel is that Elain sits in front of her dressing table, getting ready for the day or getting ready for bed. How the light of the rising or setting sun or fairy lights gently hugs Elain. She is embraced in a play of soft light. The way Elain hums in her soft voice to herself and Azriel just looks at her. In a pleasant silence, simply blown away by his beautiful wife. The way Azriel looks at her like she's his whole world. Silence is never a bad thing between the two of them. Having the company of the other is worth more than words. How Elain turns to him and just smiles at him and Azriel thinks to himself how much he loves this woman. The light to his shadow.

💗✨️☺️

Aw I love this 🌸🦇

Oh look!! Another example of mates being protective of each other even before the bond snaps into place.

Wasn’t it soo toxic of Kallias to shield Viviane from Amarantha? Shouldn’t he know that she’s a strong woman who can handle herself?! How dare he try to keep the woman he loves out of harm’s way!

In all seriousness, this line of thinking is so strange. A character’s love interest being protective of them is very commonly used in romance novels to show that they have romantic feelings for said character. This is exactly what SJM did when she had Azriel say, “There is an innate darkness to the Dread Trove that Elain should not be exposed to.” followed with Cassian saying, “But Nesta should?” Both Azriel and Cassian are focused on their love interest’s safety and no one else’s. This moment shows how deeply Azriel cares for Elain and is just one of the little hints in ACOSF that tells the reader he has romantic feelings for her.
