#heir to the day court

[silly--fangirl]

elucien as high king and high queen is something i think about on a daily basis

lucien is directly connected to 4 courts atp, but he's also an emissary with friends across all prythian and the continent

elain is a cauldron blessed seer, sister to feyre cursebreaker, a lady of the society

the alliances they could make go hard tbh

but also they would be so powerful together, i can't

also i belive they have what it takes to actually inspire and charm people into wanting to follow their lead, without threatening them into doing so

LUCIEN VANSERRA — HEIR TO THE DAY COURT

I originally intended to wait and post this for @lucienweekofficial but I wanted to share this stunning artwork with everyone early! I cannot wait to see Lucien and Helion and their interactions in the next books and I have high hopes that Lucien will be appointed to some title—either High Lord, or Prince—within the Day Court. The vision was Helion crowning his son and Lucy brought this idea to life wonderfully.

Lucien acclimating to his rightful home, finally free to bask in the sun and glow to his heart’s content 😌✨

If Lucien behaved like that in acotar while dealing all his insecurities, guilt, and feeling worthless deep inside... I'm scared of how a confident and self-assured version of Lucien will make us all act.

Barking will not be enough. I will need to howl at the moon.

"Elain doesn't need sunshine! She is sunshine!"

Let's ignore the part where Feyre asks Elain if she needs anything and Elain says "sunshine" for a sec (because a lot of E/riels enjoy ignoring Elain)--

So you agree? She is sunshine and light and therefore she doesn't belong in the NIGHT court? She belongs in another Court? Hmm idk what could Court that could be, though...maybe one that's associated with SUNshine and LIGHT like the DAY COURT?

Made this Lucien edit to ‘the prophecy’ by Taylor Swift. I just know his POV is going to absolutely break me. I’m not sure if I’m ready for it LMAOOO

[margareturtle]

So I just finished the Stolen Heir (yea ik I was early to the cruel prince but late to tsh bc I had the book and then lost it 😭anyways i’m finished now soo)

So now of course I’m thinking of all my fav faerie princes in the holly-cassie faerieverse

And wondering if when we meet Kit again in TLKOF if he’s gonna be in his Oak Greenbriar era

As in sticking his neck out as a target so they come for him first and not his family

And when he meets up with Dru it’s gonna be like:

Dru: wtf kit how’d you get that jagged scar on your shoulder?

Kit: oh that was just last weeks assassin, lil faerie guy but fierce, took a chunk out of me before I beat him

Dru: What?! Kit!!!

Kit: yea I wasn’t worried with that one. They did come close to poisoning me though. When I was getting coffee on my way to school, the barista must’ve been a glamoured faerie or smth, but I wasn’t paying attention and took my drink. But they’ve gotta try harder I mean— they really think I wouldn’t know what that poison smells like after growing up at the shadowmarket HA!

Dru: woah— you were almost poisoned?!

Kit: yeah! Annoying right— I was so looking forward to my coffee and then I had to go take my math test first thing uncaffeinated !!

Dru: I—

[agalychnisspranneusroseus]

Raised in Amphibia AU Marcy has a very complicated relationship with Andrias. They love each other and see each other as father and daughter. He never yells at her, never raised a hand at her, yet she's so utterly terrified of him. She doesn't even know why she feels like this, but all she wants is to not lose his love and to make him proud, and feels like she's always in debt, always failing at earning her place, always desperately two steps behind, never quite pleasing him.

She gives up so much of herself to earn his love and approval... she keeps most of her less useful interests secret, she doesn't have any friends except for maybe Lady Olivia, she drops whatever she's doing, no matter how important, to go to her father when he calls her, she "forgets" about her feelings when they're inconvenient to him...

She used to wear her hair long because he liked it. He never pressured her to wear it like that, possibly didn't even notice the effects his words had on her, but he once said it's what's traditional for the Leviathan royal family, and that it looked good in her, and she was determined to keep hers as long as possible, until one day she can't handle all the stress and anxiety and she desperately cuts it all in her bedchambers. Now it's so short, barely reaching her jaw. She cried herself to sleep that night. Andrias didn't say anything about it, only that it looked nice, and Marcy feels her heart sink - she let it grow for years no matter how uncomfortable it was or how little she liked it for nothing.

For @sjmvillainweek Day 6 : Sense of Style

A group of infamous villains from distant realms find themselves in a mundane Earth setting, navigating unexpected indulgences. Chaos, fashion, and biting humor ensue as they embrace their inner divas for a day of outrageous fun.

the thing about sunny days is the fact that they remind me of Lucien

and from one perspective it's a good thing: i get to daydream about him a lot as it's getting warmer AND I LOVE DOING JUST THAT

but on the other hand: i smile the whole time i'm thinking about Lucien and i'm pretty sure there were men who thought i was smiling at them

so: no, XYZ. i don't want you. what i want is my pretty sunshine fae gentleman who'd give me the moon on a string if i gave him a kiss AND has fire in his blood

Heir to the Autumn Court by Elle Porter

A collection of sordid tales centered around Princeling Fenyr, heir to the throne of the Autumn Court, as they prepare for their upcoming coronation. THE HEIR TO THE AUTUMN COURT takes place in a fae land caught in perpetual harvest season. Each high-heat story centers around a nonbinary princeling and a partner of their choosing, ranging from a minotaur, a stoic warrior from a neighboring land, and a former lover turned palace guard.

LOL😂I’ve been on such an Assassin’s Blade kick that I’ve started typing “Cort” instead of “Court”… 🤦‍♀️ like A Court of Thorns and Roses but instead it’s like Sam CORTland🤣

[ecce-felix]

I always ask the very good question of ‘if rhaenyra wanted to rule successfully and shut the greens down before they could gain traction why didn’t she foster more alliances besides with the velaryons and arryns’ like alliances aren’t just marital you can foster good relations and give lords attention and listen to them personally (since you have a dragon that gives you increased travel mobility) and make them feel important. She’s a woman in a misogynistic society and has three brothers (along with two nephews) that many would consider heirs above her, I genuinely don’t understand why she didn’t realize how weak her position was and work to combat it. She just squatted on dragonstone for years to the point that a betrayal from house Baratheon (who are literally just across the channel) came out of nowhere to her. She just expected they’d be her allies bc she didn’t consider the rumors about her sons might anger the baratheons. She knows she has two unmarried brothers that the greens could use to form marital alliances, why didn’t she try to figure out which great house with eligible daughters was their target? It’s just bizzare. I would’ve been visiting all the time to check the vibes at storms end and trying to charm them into forgetting they aren’t Actually related to my heir. Granted she’d have a harder time of it bc misogyny & her habit of lying but if she gave an effort the greens would’ve had a much weaker leg to stand on. It’s like she grew up so entitled/watching her stupid father flounder in KL that she forgot being a monarch is an actual job that requires networking with everyone and not one or two houses. She finally started networking during the war by sending her heir to treat with the north but by then it was too damn late to stop the war from happening. I blame viserys for being a fuckup bad example to her and I also blame Targaryen exceptionalism for making her ego & sense of delusional entitlement worse.

Shoreless sea snippet

Cassian’s aching heart stopped stone cold. “You stole an Illyrian child?”   The top talons of infant sized wings, reaching out from the soft nest of a sling made from silk. Gold, rings shining on Azriel’s hand, cupped gentle around the back of their head, as though to hide the visible riot of curls- too many rings, he’d thrown the punch with his other hand, where Truthteller should be.   Where Truthteller would never be again, because when Azriel left- when Azriel fled treason- he’d left the blade with Morrigan.   Cassian scrabbled upright. “You-“ he shook his head. Could believe so many things and so many betrayals, but this. “You would raise an Illyrian child without the wind? Without- it’ll never be safe. They will never allow a lesser fae among-“   “My daughter,” Azriel interrupted, pure ice, the sound distorted right into shadows, telling Cassian no one else could see them. Hear them. “Is heir to the Autumn Court.”   Dread began to pound beneath Cassian’s empty ribs in warning.   “Sorcha,” he blurted.   Azriel stared at him, those black eyes still the same after so many years. Cassian’s first starless sky. Cassian’s first- everything.   Everything.   Maybe if he’d been the last, they’d never have landed here.   Disgust twisted Azriel’s entire face, like Cassian had spoken aloud. He might as well have, secrets were the providence of shadows, and he’d walked right into this trap.   “You are living,” Azriel said, low, “In a past that does not exist.”
