#acofas spoilers

Times when Elain was funny or surprising around her family and they noticed:

Our girl Elain is way more hilarious with her one liners than people give her credit for. She is obviously very observant and I can’t wait until we get into her head to see how she sees the world.

Commenting on the “new Amren” ACOWAR

When the human Queens were being unhelpful ACOMAF

Azriel’s present that made the entire IC bust a gut. Also Feyre commented on how she had never seen him that happy. ACOFAS

Elain taking a shot to deal with Nesta causing Amren to laugh.ACOFAS

I just can’t wait till we get more of these moments of our quiet flower girl cracking us up.

So I knew going into ACOFAS that Feyre and Rhys would eventually have a child, but can I just say how unbelievably grateful I am to learn that said child is actually intentional?

I really should've known with how considerate and gentle and good Rhys is with her, but it still makes me so happy.

This, I am fully onboard with.

Little man's going to be the most precious and loved creature in Prythian with the most doting and embarrassing uncles and the coolest aunts.

the night court crew are supposed to be the cool guys that we all love, meanwhile the spring court boys actually rot

and it only makes me hate the inner circle more

it’s insufferable that they get cute moments and lucien doesn’t have a home to go back to, the god awful mate he got shackled to is so fucking annoying, his birth family hates him and tamlin is slowly killing himself, literally wallowing away with zero company he can wholeheartedly say he trusts or trusts him

i genuinely have murder on my mind because of acofas…

Forgive me if this is something that’s been discussed repeatedly, but I was listening to someone’s live reaction to the beginning of ACOMAF where Feyre is meeting the IC for the first time, and the reader was commenting on how Rhys is constantly giving Feyre the opportunity to make her own choices.

And this made me think about Elain, and how she has never been allowed to make choices for herself, and how Rhys of all people should understand the importance of letting her make her own decisions.

Because, in ACOMAF, the choices that Feyre makes ALSO impact his court and its safety. What if she decided to not work with them? What if she decided to go back to Tamlin? What if she didn’t want anything to do with a war?

And personally, I think Rhys’ stance on the potential repercussions of Elain choosing Azriel is incredibly weak. I don’t feel like his behavior is well aligned with his established traits pre-pregnancy, and either there’s more at stake than he’s saying or he was being manipulative when trying to get Feyre to join his court or he’s just acting really out of character for no good reason.

Maybe I’m misremembering, but Lucien was always pretty logical and kind. I get that a mating bond heightens emotional responses, but what would happen if Elain just… rejected the bond kindly? Does anyone honestly believe that Lucien would call on a Blood Duel? With an Illyrian that he knows he can’t defeat? For a mate that doesn’t want him, that it seems like he doesn’t want?

How do people who think Elain should accept the bond feel about the stark difference between Rhys’ actions towards his mate and his mates sisters? Because he’s pretty horrible to both of them after ACOWAR.

Should he really be an authority on their love lives or lives in general when he won’t try to see them as whole people who are multifaceted and complex? And just for the record, I loved Rhys and Feyres romance arch. I was and am pro Feysand.

But I really hope SJM either finds a way to redeem Rhys in the next book by giving a satisfactory explanation for his terrible behavior, or fully leans into an evil arch for him, because I can’t accept that he’s just being shitty for no reason.

Tamlin for most (if not all) of the ACOTAR series:

This is absolutely beautiful 😭

Drew my favorite ACOFAS scene in between work 👀

Sjm could have used Hofas to lessen Rhys’ claim to High King and to the Dusk Court. She could have used that book to describe Nesta as a queen and give her a claim to the Dusk Court.

Instead she used it to strengthen the High King argument in Acosf by connecting Rhys to the last High Rulers of Prythian and made the Dusk Court something that has been passed down through generations of NC High Lords. She also reinforced what people have been saying since Acosf came out. Nesta is a warrior, not a ruler. Bryce could have described her as anything and she chose warrior.

Rhys was given more claim to the Dusk Court in Hofas and Nesta was given the title warrior.

Don’t you just love canon 😌✨

Why is everyone saying Az will have the next book?

Did we all just forget about Tower of Dawn and how it deviated from the main story only for the end of it to go right back to the main plot?

Yeah, okay, it's extremely probable that he could. Im not saying that. There is definitely evidence of his book being next. We seem to forget that SJM keeps us on our toes. And it's possible the book could be Elains. That Sarah will pull away from the central plot to focus on Elain, Lucien, the Mortal lands, The Autumn Court, Vassa, and Koschei, and then that bleeds into the whole plot of acotar.

HOFAS SPOILER - House of flame and Shadow

[athena-85]

Why do you think SJM made a point to show how the inner circle all greet Elain with warmth and kindness?

It almost feels as though Elain is the lady of the house, easily integrating into the IC. Pretty much the only character that everyone fawns over (at least SJM uses a lot of words to decribe it, not just “ they said hello to Elain”)

Also Cassian loves her cuteness!

[animezinglife]

So glad we get to add DILF to Rhys's title because he definitely wasn't hot enough as he was.

Unpopular Opinion

I’m convinced Eris is actually a good guy playing evil. I’m dying on this hill.

[batboys-cumdumpster]

Rhysand literally in tears while Feyre holds him as she says, "I love you" makes me sob every time. His whole story, start to finish. How he knew, he saw her before they even met. Every sign in Feyre's life even as a human, hinting and nudging her closer and closer to Rhysand.

You cannot give me a love story that is better than theirs. You can try, but you can't.

Feyre Archeron from my fanfic, Of Hearts and Swords.

5 years have passed since Bryce Quinlan fought the Asteri—and lost.

5 years since the Horn in her back was then used to permanently open the gates between worlds. Midgard, Erilea, and Prythian are now in open war--the reunited Fae of each world working together to fight the Asteri.

But much has changed in the war-ravaged years that have passed. The Crochan Witchclan fights alongside the Valkyries. Hunt Athalar has sought day and night for a way to bring Bryce back from the dead and end this war. And the beloved High Lady of the Night Court--Feyre Archeron-- left Prythian for Erilea, just after their Inner Circle was cleaved apart forever by a newcomer.

As war rages on, the Asteri have found an unlikely ally in Prythian--one that might turn the fortunes of battle against the Fae.

This is an alternate ending to CC3 (HOFAS) where the Asteri win. Bryce was killed in the conflict that followed and the Horn in her back was then used to permanently open the gates. It will follow each of the main character ships (Feysand, Nessian, Rowaelin, Lysaedion, Manorian, Quinlar, etc.) as well as introduce some new ones for some other beloved characters (Azriel, Fenrys). Lots of relationship angst with a happy ending.

Read on AO3.
