Elain and Lucien’s countryside estate, where they escape to from now and then (most of the time)🍃🌸

[bloomingdarkgarden]

Hi!!

I absolutely fell in love with elain and lucien after your fic and re-read constantly!! I was such a hardcore elriel girl and I’m fading hush of eden lost actually made me completely 180.

I’m sure you get asked this a bunch but would love to have an idea of when ur next update will be.

Thank you and have a great day/evening, love from Melbourne, Australia 🩷

I don't think there's a higher compliment than someone exploring the opposite ship because of my writing. Like for real that is a very moving thing to say my dear 😭😭😭😭😭

A lot of people know me as a big Elriel writer and don't give my Elucien a chance but that story has just as much of my heart in it and I'm super proud of it. This shipwar is so stupid, people hauling vitriol daily when half of the equation is always the same. I just want Elain to be romanced and orgasmed thoroughly, you know. She's always my #1. The Boyz come second.

My Elucien fic is on pause until the summer, I will be diving back into it in June when my cottagecore brain is in full swing. IFHOEL deserves the best and want to give it my undivided attention after my longfic is finished.

6- 9 - 13 for the Elucien ask gameee 💋💋💋

Hi gorgeous!! I answered 6 here and 13 here 💕

9. What’s your favorite Elucien aesthetic?

I LOVE to see Elucien in warm, sunny, Day Court vibes. On account of the slutty clothing, mostly 👀 But I also love cottagecore and regencycore for them!!

[velidewrites]

8 & 9 for the Elucien ask game 💋♥️

9. What’s your favorite Elucien aesthetic?

God there are so many. I do love cottagecore but Day Court has got to be my favorite!!

8 was answered here!

[bloomingdarkgarden]

Lucien Vanserra rolling up the sleeves of his mostly unbuttoned ivory tunic and hanging laundry outside the lovely mountain cottage you share together.

He hides away with you here to escape the tiring work of learning to be a future High Lord in the city nearby. You admire him softly from the garden beyond and he is unaware. He pauses after a while, that beautiful auburn hair falling into his face. He picks up a pair of your underthings to hang and holds them gently, staring at them for a moment, an affectionate grin forming.

Then pockets them before continuing his chores.

[kirschenseeds]

Elain and Lucien have their own cottage at the outskirts of the Day Court. There, they are not the heir and the seer—they're just Lucien and Elain. Their personal space. Their safe haven.

Elucien Daily Thought ✨

Lucien and Elain going on picnic dates with the most aesthetically pleasing set up and delicious food. It always starts off sweet and very romantic but always gets a little naughty here and there.

Elucien living in their cottagecore bliss for my lovely Eluciens 🦊🌸

This lovely commission was by the wonderful arandanity (link to post here)

[evolving-dreamer]

They would become the personification of cottagecore lesbians. This is what I needed to read.

just a thought

but if sarah j maas pulls a whole 180 on us with the whole elriel v. elucien debate and has a very queer elain end up with a very gay mor, i can’t say i’d be too disappointed

[my-inner-crisis]

Sometimes you watch a tik tok that enrages you to the point where you want to rant for an hour. So this is it (probably not an hour-length read mind you but ya know).

Two very popular arguments on the clock app have my blood boiling.

1. Where did Lucien’s ACOTAR personality go in the rest of the series?

Oh, I don’t know, let me see. He began the series in relative peace, only having to deal with Tamlin’s ass, which was honestly his least serious problem. Remember how his brothers and father executed his lover brutally and then tried to kill him? He owes Tamlin his life, so you know. In the very beginning of ACOTAR, first thing that happens to Lucien is that his friend, Andras, is murdered in cold blood and SKINNED. Not only does he die, but he’s skinned. After that it’s just downhill for my boy Lulu from there. He is taken under the mountain, tortured to break Feyre’s spirits, UTM is a particularly triggering place to him since he had his eye carved out of his head like 50 years ago, he was so severely beaten and his face was in such a state, it MADE TAMLIN VOMIT. So, he goes back UTM, his mind is held by Rhys like a toy, he’s whipped by Tamlin under Amarantha’s rule, he’s punished for helping Feyre, yet he still goes to help her again. He’s severely abused physically. Good good. Then he comes out of that situation just to find himself in the worst PTSD hours not only for himself, but for Tamlin AND Feyre. He’s caught in the middle, any push he tries to achieve with Tamlin backfires horribly. The High Lord with the power of brute strength hits him. Feyre is scheming and he is aware of it, he gets dragged between the two of them, he isn’t sure what Feyre is up to and tries to go rescue her. He thinks her mind is warped by Rhys who lied so much to him and everyone, Lucien certainly couldn’t guess he was good actually. Feyre leaves Tamlin and messes up the Spring Court in the process, leaving the High Lord to be a useless depression monster, the direct result of that being that he is sexually assaulted by Ianthe. Tamlin has 2 brain cells so of course Hybern double crosses him, which leads directly to Feyre’s sisters being turned fae. Keep in mind that Lucien had no power over Tamlin at any point, you think he’d let himself get dragged into dumb deals with Hybern? Of course not. But now his mate thinks him culpable in her Making, she loses the one she loves due to this and it’s obviously directed to Lucien too, she never asked for a mate, she was happy to marry Graysen, so now Lulu is here courtless (oh no), homeless (so sad), with a mate (yay) who doesn’t want him (noooo) so maybe, MAYBE he is depressed. He finds friends with some sad little humans who also have sad lives like a queen without a throne and a man whose people have been dead for 500 years and the human lands is nothing like it used to be. Lucien is so far away from happiness or even just like a normal, simple day, it’s funny. And we’re surprised he’s not the snarky little rake he was in ACOTAR? Just READ.

2. Elain clearly doesn’t want Lucien and clearly wants Azriel, this is a crack ship

All I have to say to this is the following:

We don’t know what Elain wants, we don’t know why she does whatever she does, we don’t know her motivations and we don’t know how she feels about Lucien. All we know is that she’s reluctant to speak to him and she opposes the idea of mates. It’s fiction, it can go anywhere. SJM could kill half of the characters on one page. Stop arguing with Eluciens (or anyone else) about their ship’s validity. Let me have my cottagecore fantasy with them and maybe you’ll be right, but I can still ship it, even if it doesn’t become canon. It doesn’t have to be correct to be a ship. I used to ship Sasuke with Gaara because they interacted twice and my 14 year old brain was like yes. Just leave people be, let us enjoy our ships 😌
