#sjmpride creator highlight

[sjmprideweek]

I would like to call out the entire AZRIS (Azriel x Eris) community of writers, artists, beta readers, fans and cheerleaders.

It has been one of the MOST welcoming, fun, hype, chill parts of the ACOTAR fandom I have experienced.

Every single one of them is so kind and interesting and talented.

I won’t tag anyone specifically because there are so many and I would hate to forget someone, but if you have ever interacted with Azris at all this post is for you, you’re awesome. Keep it up. We love you.

Thank you for this ask ❤️ Couldn't agree more!

[sjmprideweek]

We can help with this!

Plenty of recommendations already posted with lots more to come 🩷🌈

Also - should we add a wlw or sapphic tag along with the ships? And if you have an equivalent for m/m ships that would be fab ✨

where are the Morrigan stories, the Nesta ones??? Please guys!! We gotta wake up lesbians! 🦅🦅

*Shuffles up like a drug dealer in an alley* You want fic recs? I got fic recs

*Deep breath*

A Court of Threads and Daises by @shi-daisy. Tamlin/Lucien Vanserra.

I was sucked into Tamcien by this glorious fic, it is my comfort fic and I love it with all of my soul. If you like sweet, fluffy with a side of heart-wrenching angsty Tamcien, this is one for you. I will never shut up about this fic and I recommend it to literally everyone. 

A Second Chance by @goforth-ladymidnight. Tamlin/Lucien Vanserra. 

Adorable, amazing, delicious are the first words that come to mind. I am genuinely in love with this fic, the plot is amazing. The angst is angsting and the fluff is so sweet I cried. 

Lovely and Lonely by @praetorqueenreyna. Tamlin/Lucien Vanserra.

 EYFBI3UWEGJFH9UO2HQ I actually adore it so so so so much. We stan gay Lucien, and the angst that comes with the curse in the later chapters had me staring into the void as I grappled with my feelings. 

Wildflower by @mathiwrites. Tamlin/Rhysand. 

*Chefs kiss* Mathi’s works slap so fuckin hard, I can’t even. Tamlin and Rhysand’s story prior to Feyre’s arrival is so beautifully written, (side note, baby Tam is fuckin adorable) and I love the inclusion of the stories of characters we don’t get to explore in the actual books. Amazing worldbuilding, beautiful writing. 

A Court of Beasts and Chances by M4r0u_Mar. Tamlin/Tarquin. 

Never even thought of Tarquin and Tamlin before this fic, but now I do. Tarquin is adorable and I wanna squeeze him so bad. I love how they switched up the events of UTM, the foreshadowing is incredible. Amazing read. 

Still Beautiful, Still Mine by @goforth-ladymidnight. Tamlin/Lucien 

For such an important canon event, I don’t see a lot of fics centering around the aftermath of Lucien losing his eye, but this portrayed it utterly beautifully. The softness between Tamlin and Lucien, and their bond was written so well, I get butterflies reading it. 

A Sunbeam Shining Bright Into the Night by @nocasdatsgay. Tamlin/Lucien Vanserra. 

 I love Calanmai smut fics with all my heart, and this one especially is amazing. I love the bond thats shown in this fic, I am always drawn in when I get to see the snippets of love and friendship in Tamcien, and the beautiful writing makes it so immersive and captivating. 

Forbidden by @nocasdatsgay. Tamlin/Lucien Vanserra. 

Okay but like, Tamlin being completely and utterly undone by Lucien, and just so down bad for him is one of my favourite things in the world. And this gave me everything I want from that. 

Breezing on by Sprighnt (SliPuP_Slit). Tamlin/Lucien Vanserra.

I love modern Tamcien so much, and this is just perfect. I love their friendship, and I love reading about their dynamic. The way Tamlin and Lucien perfectly balance each other out in this fic is amazing. And the little slice of Azriel/Eris Vanserra is the cherry on top. 

By the Fountain by Sprighnt_(SliPuP_Slit). Tamlin/Lucien Vanserra.

EEEEEEEEEE First kiss scenes always get me, and the way Tamlin was just a little jealous and possessive of Lucien had me kicking my feet and giggling. I adore them, this is a fic I go to when I want a quick hit of fluff. 

When The Sun Came Up (I Was Looking At You) by pansexual_intellectual . Jesminda/Tamlin/Lucien Vanserra. 

I want to hug the person that made this, it is that good. Omg, more people need to read this. I didn’t really like second person before, BUT I DO NOW. The angst made me cry, the OCs included I adore. I have a deep emotional attachment to this fic and I need everyone to read it so I can ramble about it. 

A strange thing happened the night of the High Lord meeting by @umthisistheonlyusernamenottaken. Tamlin/Rhysand. 

Desperate Rhysand is best Rhysand. I love all the undertones and the barely hidden crushing longing between these two. They are AFTER each other and I am here for it. How Tamlin’s mere presence seems to make Rhysand implode is a total vibe and I adore it. 

A Court of Lies and Resurrection by @ashintheairlikesnow. Tamlin/Rhysand.

I hated having to go to work, sleep, eat or do anything in the four days that I read this, because it meant I wasn’t actively reading it. My brain latched onto this fic like it was my only life source. I am in love with it. The plot is amazing, the characters are amazing, the love story is actually to die for. This broke and rebuilt my heart. 

I love all these works with all my heart, and everyone please go check out the creators of these fics as so many of them have other amazing works featuring LGBTQIA characters and relationships!!

(I may send in more as I find them, sorry for the amount I am sending in but I wanna bring light to all these fics!)

This is the best intro to an ask I've ever seen! Thank you so so much for compiling this list and helping to further the queer agenda throughout the maasverse ❤

[sjmprideweek]

Cee / @witch-and-her-witcher has an amaaazing wip about Nyx and Tamlin, called "A Court of Chaos and Darkness" https://archiveofourown.org/works/55261513/chapters/140177743

Nyx and Tamlin?!

"A Twilight style mating bond Nyxlin fic."

I hope you know I'll be reading every single word!

Calling out another artist! This time it has to be the lovely @thrumugnyr 💕 Their art just warms my heart, and their energy in the fandom is genuinely so wonderful. It's hard for me to choose a piece because I adore every single one, so I'll highlight a piece that I know is dear to them: https://www.tumblr.com/thrumugnyr/755472591171551232/the-high-lord-of-dawn-and-his-peregryn?source=share

I recall them wanting to do Thesan & his partner for pride month, so I wanna bring this back again as we look towards SJM Pride Week!

Thanks for all your amazing work, Thrum! 😊

This is another favourite of ours! I love 'his bird guy' - I really wish he had a name!

❤ The High Lord of Dawn and his Peregryn

@mistandmemories ongoing Azris story, A Song of Bonds and Legacies features one of my all time favorite Eris and Azriel depictions. This writer's Azris is tender and complex and their storytelling is suspenseful, full of political intrigue, and full of really deep, wonderful moments of characterization... I can't recommend enough! Bonus for one of the wittiest, brattiest, lovable (in his way) Eris Vanserras ever. This writer is a gift to our fandom!

Thank you for this recommendation! 🔥🔥

[sjmprideweek]

@fourteentrout is writing Tamsand AND Azris now and it is all incredibly well written and wonderful. Highly recommend everyone go read The Solution for some Tamsand x Feyre AND The Beholder for Azris. It's all so so good!!

Tamsand AND Azris?????? Gimme gimme gimme

[sjmprideweek]

Just Enough Light To Cast Shadows by @jules-writes-stories is amazing!! She is a wonderful writer and has such unique depictions of Eris and Azriel. Everything about this story is captivating and exciting. It's tender and soft AND extremely angsty and painful. It's really got everything. Please go read if you haven't already!

I am so here for the Azris content! Thank you for the fic rec!

[sjmprideweek]

@the-darkestminds !!!! Master of angst and emotion for our Azris boys. She has woven the most thrilling, beautiful story and I can’t wait to see more from her!!!

🔥❤️

[sjmprideweek]

@jules-writes-stories not only is she a master creator for the Azris ship but her queer OC ship within her story is to die for. Such poetry and emotion I can’t get enough!!!

🌈🌈🌈

[sjmprideweek]

@acourtofladydeath writes the most beautiful queer relationships. Tackling hard issues in a respectful heart wrenching way!! The talent is unmatched

❤️❤️❤️

Very much agree with you!

[sjmprideweek]

Pull Me In Deeper by @zenkindoflove

Eris x Male OC

This story….is hot, smutty, angsty, wildly entertaining, but also a beautiful exploration and celebration of Eris’ sexuality. Like wow. It deserves so much praise for handling his queer identity with nuance and care and love. And you’ll be falling in love with Alexius from the moment you meet him. Can’t recommend it enough!!

I love an OC, I've bookmarked this fic for later. Thank you so much for sending this in!

Here's a link to the fic on AO3:

@born-to-riot SHE WRITES AZRIS SO GOOD. They are funny and sweet. Her stories are unique and I’m obsessed!
