#elain archeron headcanon

[hyacinthoideshispanica]

Because of the cauldron, Nesta has a fear of baths, right?

Well, what if Elain now has a fear of the dark? I mean, it's stated that she wants sunshine and has all the windows in her room opened to let in as much light as possible. So, maybe when she went into the cauldron, she was consumed by darkness.

The cauldron loved Elain, so I'm imagining her kinda floating in darkness, terrified, and the cauldron reaching out and handing her a warm kernel of pure light to comfort her and ever since then, Elain has been trying to find light and feel that warmth and comfort again.

I'm also imagining an Elucien situation where Lucien uses his day powers in front of Elain and she realizes that she feels the same sense of warmth and comfort from him that she's been searching for all this time.

No but imagine, Elain - who we know goes to the Palace of Bone and Salt (ACOSF, chapter 17) - accidentally bought black salt. The first time.

Or maybe the House of Wind gave it to her when she was visiting and needed salt one time, it doesn't matter.

But after that, she learnt (as @wingedblooms has theorised) how to commune with a certain, princely feline whom I suspect may be hanging around the House of Wind library. So of course she keeps a small pot of it by the kettle, because nobody besides her (and Nuala and Cerridwen, but they know what it is) use the kitchen, so she can throw it in her tea as required for a little "trip."

Enter Cassian:

"Elain, what are you cooking there? It smells delicious." An exaggerated sniff followed his remark.

"Cat food," Elain replied dreamily.

"When did you get a cat?" Elain often appeared to be off in her own world, so Cassian wouldn't put it past her to get a cat and not mention it.

"Oh, I didn't," Elain replied, as she walked out into the sunny terrace garden, herb basket on her hip.

Cassian: 🤨🤨🤨🤨🤨

Or:

Elain had invited Nesta and Cassian over to the townhouse for dinner one night, when Feyre and Rhys were off on official court duty (ie. a family getaway to the cabin, to introduce Nyx to the wonders of snow). Cassian bullied Azriel into tagging along, and because Rhys wouldn't be there, he agreed.

Elain was making a hearty beef stew, with a side of freshly baked bread; the perfect meal for a chilly winter's eve. It had been simmering over the fire long before dusk had threatened to consume the sky, and she had finished seasoning it - even adding a little extra pepper, just for Cassian - moments before Nesta had knocked upon the roof-top door.

It smelt delicious, she couldn't wait to tuck in.

Thirty minutes later, they were sitting down to eat. Cassian shoveled some bread in his mouth as Nesta buttered her roll. Azriel had taken a polite mouthful of stew just as Elain - hungry after a long day in her potting shed and cooking - took a heaped spoon that would have made their mother faint from shock.

The stew was overly salted. Badly. How on earth?

Elain swallowed her mouthful and said, "I'm so sorry, something has happened to the stew. It appears I've put too much salt in it. Hang on and I'll heat up something from the ice box." She started to stand.

Azriel was wearing a funny expression... How mortifying. For him, of all people—her head started to spin with the shame of it.

Averting her eyes, Elain noticed that Cassian was looking incredibly guilty. Her focus narrowed over the roar threatening to consume her, and she was no longer sure it was entirely due to the people pleasing habit that had been forced upon her from childhood.

"What did you do?" Calm, stay calm.

"I, ahh, added some of that finely ground pepper you've got. I'm sorry, I couldn't resist."

"That wasn't pepper." Darkness was creeping into the edges of her vision, her fear all but confirmed, as she warned, "Do not eat the stew, I'll be back in an hour at the most." Azriel had already slumped back into his chair, eyes closed. Oh gods, how would she explain this to him?

Elain closed her eyes and let the darkness take her, opening them to Azriel, dagger at the ready, facing down a fluffy white cat, fur and whiskers abristle, blue eyes wide. If she wasn't so mortified she'd have laughed at the absurd picture they made. Oh well, no time like the present.

"Azriel," she said, standing up tall. "Meet Aidas, the Prince of the Chasm."

This post was brought to you by the ramblings of @cassianfanclub, @psychologynerd and myself. I still haven't finished HOFAS lol - I'm on chapter 75 🐢 - so I could be way off, but this is really just for laughs.

[wallflowers-in-the-wind]

Soooo, we are 2-0 on SJM female characters (specifically the Archeron sisters) in ACOTAR relationships built on being forced together put in the same location without the option of leaving. And this happened *checks notes* to Feyre twice, three times if you count her going ‘under cover’ in Spring. I’m not sure about you guys but I got a bad feeling.

Elain, sweetie, I don’t mean to alarm you but…

New Chapter Alert!

Chapters: 2/? Fandom: A Court of Thorns and Roses Series - Sarah J. Maas Rating: Not Rated Warnings: No Archive Warnings Apply Characters: Elain Archeron, Madame Archeron, Nesta Archeron, Mr. Archeron, Feyre Archeron, Rhysand (A Court of Thorns and Roses), Lucien Vanserra, Azriel (A Court of Thorns and Roses) Additional Tags: ill add more characters as I go, Elriel, elain x azriel - Freeform, Elain Archeron was always a seer, This is an elriel fic, consider this your only warning, no beta reader we die like men Summary:

I have this headcanon that Elain was born a seer, not Made a seer by the cauldron. I imagine her visions were bound when she was a child, resulting in her aloof characterization in canon pre-cauldron. In the canon text post-cauldron, we see her as someone who is sharply observant and overwhelmed by visions that she doesn't know how to handle. This is the exploration of how her unexpected swim ripped off the veil that blocked the power that she already had.

[acourtofthought]

Definitely more headcanon / fanfiction than theory, I realize this post has extreme Elain bias. It's also adding on to a similar idea I've mentioned in the past.

We know Nesta was left the Prison lands by Bryce because of her 8 pointed star tattoo which is a sign of the Starborn.

Before that we learn that it's within the very stone that Silene warped the former beauty of her home by housing the monsters.

Bryce thinks of how the Prison is alone and "if she could open her heart to it", then thinks how it's vibrant beating heart is locked away.

Elain is exactly the type of character to open her heart to something as she's noted as loving and kind, to understand feeling alone, to hear the beating of a heart through stone, someone whose mind is also "sleeping".

If Elain were to visit the Prison, if it's the place Koschei hides his onyx box, would Elain hear it's beating, vibrant heart?

Could she be a character to free the land and restore it to its beauty? The land was left to Nesta but as it stands now, it's not habitable.

Her character does seem to be in the likeness of Cthona, "earth goddess" and Cthona is also known as "birther of worlds".

If Nesta has the 8 pointed star tattoo, there's a chance Elain does too as they were both made and both have a connection to the Cauldron / Mother.

And I think Nesta providing the land itself, with Elain restoring it to a place of beauty for the Valkrie to later make their home is poetic for two sisters who have been trying to overcome their differences.

[pearblossommina]

I’m not really reading since i’m in a bit of a slump but here are some trans headcanons just for fun

I think Lucien is the trans-est guy in ACOTAR

Lucien is objectively the hottest name any character has. And sounds exactly like the type of name a trans masc person would want for themselves.

Also Tamlin’s a shapeshifter so there’s no way he’s not genderqueer AF

It just makes sense that he would welcome Lucien into his court so they could be a happy little trans family

Remember when he like, angrily told Feyre that there’s no such thing as a High Lady

Maybe he only did that because he’s so upset he was forced into this masculine presenting body because of the way society is

But Tamlin prefers to be genderfluid/genderqueer

Spring Court is all about renewing life magic and stuff.

(Also I think Elain is trans - I don’t have an excuse for this - I just think she *is*)

(Like picture Nesta always looking out for her and being like LEAVE MY SISTER ALONE) (and picture her being the most supportive big sister) (and Feyre adopting the traditionally masculine role in the family and doing tasks like hunting so that her older sister wouldn’t have to! It makes it so much MORE SWEET) (picture Elain being trans and being dropped into the cauldron) (and expecting to come out fully transitioned) (but her body was the same; she was just fae, now)(I think it lends a little more weight to the conversation she had with Amren about gender in Frost and Starlight) (also I think it would be so dang cute if she was scared of mating to Lucien because of internalized transphobia and the role of a woman under a man in their society) (only to find out that he’s trans too!)

[gwynrieldreams]

My headcanon is that Lucien was awake during that night, that he knows exactly what happened between Azriel and Elain and he is heartbroken after that. Everyone believes he would fight Azriel, instead he was crying all alone in his room, because his mate was about to kiss another man, when she can't even look at him.

THE FLOWER GROWER 🌷

One of my biggest headcanons and current obsessions is Elain Archeron as a Landscape Architect in the modern world. Her interests align so well with the career and I see her absolutely thriving in that environment. Unlimited access to travel, daily exposure to flora and fauna, and the ability to design as many gardens to her heart’s content.

Her vision for curating more gardens for her world would translate so well into this role. Elain Archeron is a designer.

[hyacinthoideshispanica]

Sad headcanon that when Elain visits her father's grave, she brings something she baked and leaves it for him.

Elain: Papa, remember those little cakes you used to love before we moved to the cabin? I learned how to make them! They don't taste exactly like they should, but I still hope you like them.

[ennawrite]

headcanon where Eris’s meanest hound takes a liking to Elain and both Vanserra brothers just stand there like 🧍🧍‍♂️ because they’ve both been bit by this demon dog but now it’s letting Elain tie a bow around its neck and follows her while she forages in the forest

[elenaferndale]

I probably made Lucien too large compared to how he is described in the books - but I do love to draw beefy guys 🤭 I hope our boy gets his happy ending - his story so far has been heartbreaking 😭🙏

[achaotichuman]

Human Nesta would shake Nessian Nesta by the shoulders screaming "What the fuck is wrong with you???!!!!"

Human Feyre would be drawing her bow trying to shoot Feysand Feyre just so she would never become her.

Human Elain would look at Elucien Elain and be like, "Nice."

Prythian handwriting ranking

From best to worst

Nesta -- She would make having perfect handwriting into a sport

Elain -- Everything she does is pretty

Lucien -- He's big on appearances and communication is kinda his job. Also i just think the children of the Autumn Court would be taught fancy cursive

Eris -- (See point No. 3)

Mor -- she dots the i's with little hearts

Rhys -- tidy, but he writes in all caps

Azriel -- legible but clearly boy handwriting

Feyre -- looks the same as Rhysand's but messier

Tamlin -- Used to be at No. 7, but he spent so long in his beast form that he forgot how

Amren -- no one knows bc it's all in another language

Cassian -- completely illegible

[clockwork-ashes]

elain, eris, and jurian would be the most iconic trio of friends at fancy events i feel. they 100% sit around in circles at parties and gossip, sipping wine. jurian eats pastries the whole night, eris always comes overdressed, and elain just thinks they’re neat.
