Elain Archeron Week Recap

Day 4: Home 🪻

“Elain … squared her shoulders and declared that she was a part of this court—and would do whatever was needed.”

- A Court of Silver Flames by Sarah J. Maas

Elain is at home in her garden, whether that be in the human realm, or at the townhouse, or the river house in Velaris. for this piece, I requested that termesart include every flower Elain is associated with so far throughout the ACOTAR series: jasmine, roses, begonias, irises, lilies, violets, hyacinths, & lilacs. Elain is holding an armful of all these flowers from her garden, and in my head she’s watching the Inner Circle (aka her family, her home) as she brings them to decorate the house. termesart is so talented, and she brought my vision to life so perfectly!

Part VII Louis XIV’s Final Summer Set (N⁰ 1984)

The fate of this set is, like its entry, somewhat perplexing as contemporary sources contradict one another. Memorialists of the time claim that instead of inheriting the set, the Duke of Tresmes, First Gentleman of the Room, received financial compensation [162], while the Garde-Meuble, on the other hand, maintains that the Duke did in fact inherit the set alongside those present in the Antechamber and Cabinet [163]. The latter version is the most plausible, as it explains both the absence of set 1984 from the 1729 general inventory and the decision to create a new summer set for the bedchamber upon Louis XV’s return to Versailles in 1723.

Furthermore, the death inventory of the Duke of Tresmes in 1739 mentions a satin Persian-style crimson background, present on the second floor of his townhouse under the number 135 [164], corresponding to the set described in the death inventory of King Louis XIV, which was meant to be inherited by the Duke.

page from the Duke of Tresmes Death Inventory, Number 135 AN MC ET II 473

7.1 The Tapestry Itself

The brocades used in the creation of set 1984 came from earlier deliveries in 1687 and 1688 by the Parisian fabric supplier Charlier. Indeed, at the end of the 1705 entry, we learn that Lallié used brocades numbered 96, 991, 116, and 128 for the bed, seats, footrest cushions, tablecloth, and fire screen, described as “a satin Persian-style brocade,” also referred to as the small-pattern brocade. Brocades 95 and 98, called the large-pattern brocade, were used for the bed and alcove tapestry. These brocades were described on July 23, 1686, as “pieces of brocade one ell wide, with crimson background with patterns of gold and silver in Persian colors” [165]. The delivery of brocade 98 can be traced to February 4, 1687 [166]. Jules Guiffrey reconstructed a more complete description of the brocade by combining elements mentioned in several sources: “Five pieces of rich brocade, one ell wide, with crimson red satin background; featuring compartments, cornucopias, scrolls, and flowers woven in gold and silver, with contours around the ornaments in violet, green, and blue silk, in the Persian style, made by Mr. Charlier of Paris” [167]. For the 1705 delivery, eight pieces of large brocade were destined for the alcove tapestry alongside seven pieces of column brocade. These column brocades were part of a delivery from November 29, 1688, by Gautier and manufactured in Lyon. They were described as “columns of rich brocade with vine branches and grapes, with a base and capital woven in gold and silver, twisted, with musk, on a crimson satin background” [168] and received the number 124. Designs featuring twisted brocade columns were fashionable at the time; Swedish diplomat Cronström even discussed similar ones in his correspondence with Swedish royal architect Tessin, where they considered possible decor for royal apartments in Sweden. Cronström wrote, “One could also take satins from Turin and have twisted columns and borders or friezes made, cut according to the design of Mr. Berain. All of this would be appropriate, new, and in good taste.” Mr. Berain was indeed the royal ornamentalist for the King of France. The column designs Cronström referenced, which he sketched, are now in the Stockholm National Museum collection.

National Museum, Stockholm, NMH CC 1382 recto

This layout, however, differs from the one described in the King’s bedchamber at King Louis XIV’s death, where set 1984 is mentioned with an alcove tapestry of only five pieces of large brocade alongside six pieces of column brocade [169]. Moreover, the dimensions of the alcove tapestry as described in 1705 far exceed the size of the bedchamber’s western wall, given that each large piece of brocade was one French ell wide (1.18m) and the brocade column half that width, totaling 13.6 meters (44.52 ft). This discrepancy suggests set 1984 was used in the Versailles King’s bedchamber almost incidentally rather than as a planned choice. This discrepancy in the alcove layout of 1715 featured only five pieces of the large brocade, each one ell wide, and six pieces of column brocade, each half an ell wide, totaling eight French ells or 9.44 meters (31 ft), which is much closer to the actual dimension of the King’s alcove.

7.2 The Bed

The main element of set 1984 was its state bed, with its impressive dimensions. Its components were:

• No Headboard: None of the descriptions indicate the presence of a headboard.

• The Headcloth: Made of two pieces of the large brocade according to the 1705 Garde-Meuble diary [170] and four according to the 1715 death inventory [171].

• The Valences: Both the 1705 and 1715 entries spare details on the main fabric used, only noting crimson satin lining. It could be inferred that they were crimson to match the background of the brocade. Large gold fringes formed festoons at the bottom [172], and this style of valence, different from the previously used campanes, was increasingly popular at the time. Similar ones appear in a painting by Louis Silvestre depicting Louis XIV Receiving the Prince Elector of Saxony in his Fontainebleau bedchamber near the end of his life.

: Louis XIV reçoit à Fontainebleau le prince-électeur de Saxe, 27 septembre 1714, Louis de Silvestre and Hyacinthe Rigaud, oil on canvas, 1715, 120 x 155 cm, Château de Versailles, MV 4344

• The Curtains: Two bonnes grâces, four curtains, and two cantonières are mentioned, with gold fringes at the edges and bottom, lined with the same fabric. The brocade used is not specified, but we can infer that it was the smaller pattern given that the headcloth, mentioned afterward, is said to have been of “the larger pattern brocade,” implying the curtains were not.

• The Quilt: See above.

• The Case Curtain: Made of crimson gros de Tours taffeta, with gold fringes at the bottom and edges, hanging from a golden rod.

• The Columns: The two front columns were placed in a sheath of large-pattern brocade.

• The Vases/Finials: Four in total (one at each corner), filled with feathers and covered in the large-pattern brocade.

7.3 The Armchairs and Stools

Two armchairs were included in the 1705 delivery [173] and three in 1715 [174]. We can assume that an additional armchair was added once the set was transferred to the bedchamber, possibly used with the table. They were garnished with gold fringes at the bottom, and their wood was surprisingly painted red with gold floral decorations. The brocade used was the small pattern, specifically brocades 96, 99, 116, and 128 as described on July 23, 1686: “Two pieces of brocade, two feet wide, with crimson background and elevated patterns in gold and silver with Persian colors” [175]. In 1886, Jules Guiffrey attempted to enhance that vague description by referencing entries from the brocade chapter of the 1729 general inventory and brocade discharges from set 1984, creating this more precise description of the small pattern brocade of number 96: “Two pieces of brocade, two feet wide, with crimson satin background, cornucopias, rinceaux, and flowers of elevated gold and silver, with outlines in green and purple silk, in the Persian style, from the Charlier manufacture in Paris” [176]. The specifics of the colors are consistent with brocade discharges noted at the end of the entry for set 1984 [177].

The twelve folding stools were similar in terms of brocade and style to the armchairs, with gold fringes and woods painted in red with some gilded ornaments.

6.4 The Fire Screen

The fire screen was similar to the seats, with the small-pattern brocade, gold braids around the edges, and wood painted to match the fabric. A braid with a lead pear covered with gold bouquets is also mentioned [178].

7.5 The Table and Tablecloth

The set came with a tablecloth made of the smaller brocade, with fringes on the sides and at the bottom, lined with taffeta, along with a red leather table rug with gold fringes. The table mentioned in the 1715 death inventory under these tablecloths was likely the fir table previously listed in the 1708 inventory and used with set 1379 (see Part 6.6) [179].

7.6 The Portières Tapestries

At the time of the 1705 delivery, no portières were included, and they only appear in the 1715 death inventory [180]. They were made from five pieces of brocade each and described as “assorted to the one of the bed.” Each of the four doors was equipped with one, embellished with gold fringes on their sides, and lined with crimson taffeta.

6.7 The Portieres Tapestries

At the time of the 1705 delivery, no portieres were included; they are only mentioned in the 1715 death inventory [160]. Made from five pieces of brocade each and “assorted to the one on the bed,” each of the four doors was equipped with one. They were embellished with gold fringes on their sides and lined with crimson taffeta.

love is stored in the component jars

What can I say, 4-Sided Dive Essek Lore got to me too. Fellas, is it gay to give your Kryn colleague a matching set of storage containers?

Read on AO3.

—

Caleb waits until Essek has crossed the threshold, until he is safely inside with the door shut and latched behind him, to take Essek’s hands in his. “Welcome back,” he murmurs.

Their embrace is tentative, an unspoken question of Are we doing this? Do you still want this? The heartbeat that quickens in Essek’s chest answers a resounding Yes, but it is a conversation that they have never found in themselves to have aloud.

It’s complicated, anyways.

Caleb takes his cloak and asks how he’s been. What is there to say? He’s been in five different cities in as many weeks, and managed to keep pursuing agents off his trail in all but one. But Essek is exhausted by and ashamed to think of his scrappy, meager, lonely life on the run. He wants to forget about it for the little time he has in this sanctuary.

“You’ve certainly made yourself at home here,” he says to change the subject.

He’d seen the townhouse the day Caleb bought it. It had been bare and dim and dusty, and they’d had to sit on the floor with a broken crate for a table as they ate small hand pies from a bakery down the road. Later, before he’d left Rexxentrum for yet another nameless town, they had made love on top of Caleb’s coat, right in the middle of the salon they stand in now.

He’d missed the housewarming party.

The townhouse is no longer bare. That broken crate is now a placeholder for the coffee table, but half-filled bookshelves flank the fireplace, a traditional Zemnian quilt is folded over the back of the plush new sofa, and a series of framed paintings by Jester lean against the walls just waiting to be hung.

“It’s a work in progress,” Caleb says. “But let me show you the laboratory.”

He takes Essek’s hand and leads him up two flights of stairs to a spacious room that for a moment steals Essek’s breath away. It’s no wonder Caleb is still using a crate for a coffee table; his attention has clearly been focused here.

A pair of impressive worktables sit on either side of an open space that holds the outlines of a large arcane circle. Glass-front cabinets containing books and artifacts line the walls, and behind the arcane circle are open shelves filled end to end with dozens of amber glass component jars. The arcane light emanating from several wall sconces wraps the room in a warm glow that plays enchantingly off the vitreous surfaces.

“I'd never had a real laboratory of my own before.” Essek can hear the pride in Caleb’s voice.

“You have one in your tower, don't you?”

Caleb shakes his head. “The tower is impermanent; it’s not the same. There was one in the Xhorhaus as well, but we were never there long enough for me to settle in.”

As Essek steps into the room, he runs a hand along the rich violet wood of the worktable. Vermaloc. Just like the one in his own laboratory. He can’t imagine how Caleb managed to acquire a piece like this in the Empire, let alone two.

“You’ve made a beautiful space.”

“I took inspiration from some particularly impressive wizards’ towers that I’ve seen.”

Even as he smiles, Essek’s heart twinges. He misses his towers, misses having a workspace like this. He doesn’t know if he’ll ever have something like this again.

He walks over to the wall of component jars. It’s laid out very much like his own: the amber jars all precisely and evenly spaced on the shelves, a shallow counter below holding a series of instruments, bowls, and scoops to measure in place.

“I believe I recognize some of your inspiration.”

Caleb comes up behind him and wraps his arms around Essek’s waist. Essek isn’t floating—the only reason Caleb can rest his chin on his head like that—but his belly swoops as if he has taken flight.

“The jars were a lucky find. Veth tipped me off to an apothecary that was going out of business, and they sold me their entire stock for a very reasonable price.”

They’re exquisite. Each jar is nearly identical to the next, the deep caramel glass impeccably crafted. Essek picks one up to examine the elegant pedestal base and delicate ornamentation circling the lid. He runs a finger along the intricate details of the finial and lifts the knob to the soft clink of glass and wafting smell of incense. Caleb was indeed fortunate to procure such a collection, and Essek tells him as such.

“I'm glad you like them.” Caleb nods towards a set of empty jars at the end of the shelf. “Those ones are for you.”

“Caleb…” Essek begins, his heart sinking. He wishes so badly to have them, to be able to recreate in any small way the magnificent laboratory he once treasured. “That is very generous of you, but I cannot accept. There is no way to carry such things with me.”

“Then keep them here,” Caleb replies in barely more than a whisper. His breath is warm on Essek’s ear. “Keep them, and yourself, safely here with me.”

It takes a moment for the words to register, and when they do Essek turns around in Caleb’s arms. Caleb looks down at him with a soft, pleading gaze.

“Caleb, I…”

“Stay with me.”

His heart beats out Yes. Yes. Yes. but his tongue is more cautious. “I will consider it.”

That answer seems to be enough for Caleb, whose mouth blooms into a smile just before it descends to meet Essek’s.

—

Essek stares at the jars, trying to puzzle out their organization.

“What order do you keep your components in? It’s neither grouped by element nor category, nor is it alphabetical—unless you’re using Zemnian, perhaps?”

“Ah, no particular order. It’s easy enough to remember where everything is, so I just put them back in the closest empty space.”

Essek gawks at Caleb in bewilderment for a moment, then says, “No. Absolutely not.”

He begins to take the jars from the shelves and shuffle them around the countertop.

“What are you doing?” Caleb asks with a crooked smile.

“We are going to arrange these in a structured manner. Now go fetch me a pen and ink to make labels.”

Caleb kisses the top of his head as he passes.

“Certainly. If you’re staying, then it stands to reason that you should have a say in our laboratory too.”

Good While It Lasted

TITLE: Good while it lasted  CHAPTER NO./ONE SHOT: Chapter 4 AUTHOR: ValarieRavenhearst2 ORIGINAL IMAGINE: Imagine seeing Loki for the first time after a very messy break up. RATING: R NOTES/WARNINGS: NSFW (very strong language) 

Violet POV

When I emerged from the fridge, Evie and Katie were talking in the staff room looking uncomfortably tense, I took my earphones out to hear them but they stopped suddenly upon my approach and Evie scampered away with a forced smile. I asked Katie if everything was alright and she replied with Peachy which always meant something was wrong. But I was too exhausted to pry, so I didn’t. I made the drive, silently, back to my townhouse which seems so extravagant on the outside, yet so lonely on the inside. All the décor in the world doesn’t seem to make any difference. After a shower I collapse on the lounge and flick through trashy TV until I leave it on some restoration show while I flick through all my notifications on my phone. The Plaza is having an event on the weekend which briefly peeks my interest so I mark it as a maybe; I may come back to it later. Perhaps it would be nice to go out finally. Maybe I could take all the girls out from work for dinner, then we could go to the Plaza’s party. They do always have nice events. It would be nice to get to know the two new girls – I mean, I used to always take the girls out monthly to boost morale but I realise I haven’t done that in a very long time. I feel like I’ve just been surviving … it’s time to start living again.

    On Friday night I had arranged to close an hour early so that everyone working had plenty of time to get ready before meeting at seven for dinner. Everyone seemed to carry a bubble of delight with them at dinner and it began to infect me quickly – relief flooded through me as I started to feel like myself again.    Katie seemed to notice the change and would look at me with lovestruck eyes when I spoke before hugging me for long periods of time. Despite the rocky road here, I am grateful for her love, nonetheless. I know her attitude has been all out of love, even if I wasn’t ready for it.   Moving on to the Plaza it was a stunning surprise to find that there event was live music and Dorothy was performing. Katie and I shrieked in surprise when she started playing and we barely sat at the table before we were up dancing in front of the stage. Evie brings us all over a round of shots and I quickly begin to drown out all my woes – she seems so timid at work I never picked her to be a rowdy partier. I finally leave the front of the stage to sit with the girls after the second band takes the stage and it doesn’t take long for my face to start aching with laughter – I think my face forgot how to smile; the muscles clearly not getting worked like they used to.   Evie and I go to get the next round of drinks and as I crash into one side of the bar she taps my shoulder to indicate she’s going to the bathroom. I order another round of shots for the table and the bartender promises to bring them over personally. He’s cute I have to admit, I would have thought the act of flirting would have eluded me but it falls effortlessly off my tongue. As the bartender makes his own shot, which he names violet, he slides it in front of me and I lock eyes with a familiar face on the other side of the bar – the same time they notice me. Darcy’s eyes go wide and her mouth drops agape and I can’t help but smile and wave politely in her direction. I always did like Darcy. The bartender, Dean, says he’ll bring everything over in a minute and I bring my attention back to him as Evie grabs my waist from behind. “I’ll see you in a minute then.” I bite my lip as I smile, Evie pulling back off the bar and I turn into her embrace as Darcy appears straight ahead of me. “Hey!” I beam, leaving myself open for an embrace but to my surprise it doesn’t come.   “Hey? Don’t ‘hey me’.” Darcy looks me up and down like I just rear-ended her. “I’ve got some things I need to get off my chest.” My mouth drops open as I await for the punch line of this joke but it seems I’ll be awaiting for eternity. “It took a really long time for Loki to get over you.” My eyebrows fly to my hairline as a scoff leaps out of my throat. “Like a really long time.” Is she fucking serious. “You broke his heart and you know what, he’s too good for you anyway.” I can feel my head reeling from a sudden splash of vertigo as so much unfolds without me moving. Evie begins yelling in my defence but I can’t comprehend what she’s saying as my ears ring with a white noise. This can’t be fucking real. There is an instant blur beyond us as Jane appears rushed and panic stricken. She grabs Darcy but that just spurs her on. They begin yelling at each other as Katie appears between us and the ringing in my ear comes to an obnoxious stop as the shock settles in. “No! She deserves to be told off! Comin’ round here after the trouble she caused, flirtin’ like some pretentious bimbo right in front of him!” Darcy pulls out of Jane’s grip as she scrambles to keep her quiet. Katie erupts like Pompei, calling her the lowest name she can think of … but I quickly decide to defend myself with on a surge of rage. My Intrepidness rising from it’s resting place.   “I beg your pardon?” I lurch forward, pushing past my two defenders and towering over Darcy. “Who the fuck do you think you are?” Jane’s eyes widen to a shocked degree as my retaliation startles her. “Pretentious bimbo? How fucking dare you! You have absolutely no fucking clue about what you’re talking about. So keep your little trash mouth fucking shut or I’ll shut it for you!” I threaten with a such a degree of venom, I almost don’t recognise myself but my rage assures my stance.   Stunned and enraged, Darcy flicks her eyes around to land on a drink sitting on the bar and immediately her hand flies out to grab it. Game on bitch. “Oh I fucking dare you.” She goes to throw it at me but I’m close enough that I just lunge at her and grab both her arms and thrust her against the bar. Then all hell truly breaks loose. The glass falls back on the bar and shatters, she begins to kick me off, Jane grabs my shoulders, Katie grabs Jane by the hair, Evie begins shouting profanities, the bartenders begin screaming and scrambling and then Thor appears to separate Jane and Katie, then Loki appears and hooks one arm round my waist to hoist me across his body like I weigh nothing. Darcy lunges after me but Loki puts his other arm out to keep her at bay while still maintaining his grip on me.   “What are you doing?” He roars at Darcy but his authority doesn’t faze her.   “She pushed me!” She accuses and I begin yelling in defence and thrashing to be free of his restraint. “When you see bullshit you call it out!”   “Fuck off you insult fucking bitch.” I roar as Katie appears in front of me and grabs Loki.   “Let her fucking go!” Our chaos infects everyone standing near and suddenly everyone wants to fight. Bouncers come and naturally want to go for the ones who appear to be the biggest threat; so they go for Thor and Loki. Loki yanks himself back and drags me with him, shielding me from Darcy but also from anyone trying to pull me out of his grip.   “Let me go!” I want to sound outraged but the suddenness of how easily he lifts me with one arm causes me to gasp. “Loki!” I exclaim but he doesn’t cease his pace till we’re out the door. “Loki stop!” The shock of his presence settles in below my drunken rage, allowing me to maintain the mental strength to face him – rather than fall down an anxiety ridden trip – to which I had become accustomed to. He releases me somewhat, against the wall and away form the entrance, but he boxes me in so that I can’t escape him.   “Are you alright?” He is seething; I can see the rage dancing behind his eyes, but there is something so fearful there as well as he looks me up and down – hands hovering around my waist. “Are you hurt?” He’s trying to be gentle but the urgency in his voice is more superior.   “I’m fine.” I press my hands firm against his chest to push him away from me. “No thanks to you!” I hiss. “What the fuck was that, huh?” We are drawing a large crowd of concern but I’m so angry I just don’t care. “It’s nice to see you confide in someone, at least.” His eyes go wide, unprepared for my assault.   “I’ve never told her anything –”   “So she just pulled all of that bullshit out of thin air then?” I push myself off the wall so that it is I who invades his space. “I broke your heart, huh? That’s real fucking interesting Loki, ‘cause I don’t remember you sheading a fucking tear!” I push him again much more fiercely and tears spring to my eyes involuntary as he fights to try and soften his approach. When I try to hit him again he grabs both of my wrists and I immediately thrash to be free and he pushes me back against the wall.   “Stop it! Please…” He pleads as bystanders yell in my defence and rush over to pull him off. “Violet, please stop and listen to me.” Despite his strength his tone softens completely and his eyes look so sad … the feeling that overcomes me next is so disorientating as I stare back up into those distressed emerald eyes that it causes my intrepidness to retreat down into the depths of my despair.   A man barges into Loki’s side, both of us too lost in each other’s eyes to notice him bounding over. He does little to actually move Loki far but the jolt rips us apart violently and I stumble against the wall as another man catches me. I look up to see that it is Dean the barman with his arms around me; jerking me backwards and not allowing me to extend back upright correctly. The man who is battling Loki barges him again but Loki remains as firm as a statue before throwing the man to the ground; he barely moves yet the man hits the ground so violently that he can’t do anything but moan and roll over in pity. Loki’s eyes lock back onto me and he instantly begins stalking towards me … well, Dean actually. His glare turning rather violent as Dean tries to shove me behind him.   “Listen buddy you need to back off now.” Oh how foolish.   “Stop it.” I groan to both of them as I try to back away from my misled protector and gain my own footing again. All the shots I’ve had aren’t helping with these heels now.   “Loki stop!” Thor’s voice booms from behind me and suddenly I’m pulled into his embrace. Oh I have had enough of being fucking man-handled. “I have her, stop.” However that doesn’t stop him from grabbing Dean by the collar and thrusting him into the wall.   “Loki!” I shriek, elbowing my way out of Thor’s grip. I grab Loki by the bicep and force myself between them; pushing Loki back further. “That’s enough.” I seethe but my emotions are too heightened now, causing the anger to leave my voice as tears well in my eyes. Just when I thought my head was truly about to explode, the rest of our parties are escorted out and Katie comes out screaming – the bouncers in tow too. Thor chuckles arrogantly and stops the bouncers from getting to me but he misses Katie. She lunges for Loki but I cry out for them both to stop; putting myself between them.   “I swear if you’ve hurt her –”   “You’ll what?” Loki arcs up and I just want the ground to swallow me whole. Then the blue and red flashing lights arrive. I groan in a tear-streaked panic and push myself backwards with all my failing might into Loki. I flip in his arms and they surround me automatically.   “Take me home.” I demand in distress; seeing no possible way out of this clusterfuck. He instantly tightens his grip and whisks me down into the alley before Katie can make chase – then in a flash of green we disappear.
