I've been wanting to draw these two for a while, and since the Sun and Flame week is happening, I thought it would be the perfect time to do this.

This piece was inspired by "The Marriage of Cupid and Psyche" by Antonio Giovanni Lanzirotti.

That's it, hope y'all like it!

Helion rescuing the Lady of Autumn

by me 💕

"Her sisters bought her time to run. She tried to stay, but they convinced her to go. So she did--she ran and ran, but Hybern's beasts were still faster. Stronger. They cornered her at a ravine, where she became trapped atop a ledge, the beasts snapping at her feet." He didn't speak for a long moment. Too many details. How knew so many details. I said quetly, "You saved her. You found her, didn't you?" "I did." "What happened?" Helion didn't break my stare. "I tore the beasts apart with my bare hands."

WIPs and more below cut:

Helion and LoA's story is so heartbreaking to me. I love them so much. I can imagine how terrifying it was for the Lady to be in the middle of a War, her sisters dead, and her running for her life. And then her mate saving her. He for sure rescued her on a pegasus and took her up in the skies. Idk if the bond snapped then, or after, but damn. It's so so interesting to think about.

This was made by me with Affinity Designer! With a mouse too because my sister has my Wacom lmao. So please be nice and give me praise thanks 😭😂

hahahaha one of my favorite authors listed me as one of her favorite authors, on a list with two of my other favorite authors, it’s fine, I’m fine, we’re all fine here now, thank you. How are you?

spread the love! tag your three favourite writers on tumblr/ff.nt/ao3/wattpad and say what story you like the most from them!

Aghhhh this is hard. Hmmm.

@25centsoda of course, and I’m currently obsessed with your Invitation AU you’re working on with KingBeer, whose tumblr i unfortunately do not know.

@silvereddaye you come up with so many interesting AUs and I love them, but my fave has to be Runaway.

@starr234 your fics are always so satisfying and I love them so much, but Lines of Communication always struck me as especially skilful.

I couldn’t possibly pick my three favourite but here’s definitely three of my favourites!!!

As soon as Beron is gone, I know Helion will switch up immediately and turn into a total simp for LoA.

Helion 🤝 Lucien

Like father, like son.

Elain: scribbling “Elain Vanserra” over and over again in the privacy of her own room

Also Elain: hastily scratching it out and trying not to think about Lucien’s muscled thighs

@lucienweekofficial Day 5: Home!

Heard this audio and it made me think of Elucien in their future outdoorsy home life, wherever that might be <3 I think it'll be the Spring Court - Tamlin never wanted to be High Lord and should be freed from that shackle to go live somewhere else, Lucien can take over for him, Elain can get a hundred thousand gardens and they can both be near the border to visit Jurian and Vassa easily! :)

Anyone who fancast the batboys/emerie/lucien/helion as white can fall off a cliff 🥰

A bit Helion angst for you this morning…

Helion was not a fool. From the first moment he'd seen the boy across a crowded ballroom while they both played the charming courtier, he'd sensed the power hidden deep within him and the invisible chains which kept it there. It hadn't taken but a small effort in logical reasoning for him to understand what it meant, and only a small effort more to understand why it had remained a secret.

For centuries, he had kept that secret, doing his best to keep his distance lest anyone suspect while eagerly drinking down every bit of news or gossip that reached him about the boy who was rapidly growing into an almost universally loved and respected male. It killed him to be so separated from both his mate and his son, but for both of their safety, he would endure almost anything.

Then came Amarantha, and Under the Mountain.

He'd been present the day that started it all. When Lucien Vanserra, brash and confident, had almost gleefully informed the witch of his friend's refusal of her proposal. The way he'd insulted her so boldly to her face might have been amusing if not for what happened next. How he'd managed to hold himself back despite his near blinding rage, he couldn't say. Perhaps that small logical part of his brain had known that attempting to interfere with a female infinitely more powerful than him would not have ended well for anyone. He'd been nothing then really, a distant member of the royal family, always welcome to their table but of no true importance...

Of course, it wasn't long after that the accursed masquerade ball was held and they were all plunged into the witch's wretched curse. A few months later he suddenly found himself the unexpected High Lord of Day, brimming with power he was unable to use. He had wondered and worried then how Lucien was dealing with the increase in power he had surely received as the new heir. Wondered if he understood what it meant. Wondered if he could control it, or if it might yet give away the secret he and his mother had fought so long to keep hidden. Yet everytime the fox showed his face, not one hint of what he was appeared, and Helion prayed it would stay that way even as he was forced to watch his son suffer further indignities while his brothers sneered and laughed at his torment.

What came after Amarantha might have been worse.It wasn't just the battle with Hybern while his son was off on the continent Gods knew where, looking for a queen who might have been impossible to find, or the High Lord's meeting when he'd come face to face with his estranged mate, unable to speak to her. It wasn't even the knowledge that Lucien had found his mate and yet seemed doomed to the same fate of being forever separated from her.

It was knowing he now had the power to rival Beron's and still somehow being unable to do anything about it.

Another war came upon them in the form of a death god and Helion began to despair that his broken family might never be whole again as they all perished to a seemingly insurmountable threat. But fate, it seemed, had other plans.

Through a combination of efforts and luck on the parts of many, their world finally found themselves facing the possibility of true peace. And his son was at the center of it's heros. By another stroke of luck, Beron's own sons had solved the issue of freeing his mate from the hateful male's hold and he now found himself standing in front of the family he had been so afraid of losing, unsure how to claim them for his own.

[acourtofthought]

I know you’ve discussed this before, but I don’t remember- what are your theories for what problems are happening in the Day Court? And just Day Court theories in general.

Hopefully this is a nice break from the hate anons😂

❤️❤️❤️❤️ ❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️ I very much appreciate a non hate message!!! This one is tricky because Sarah didn't give us much to go on. Earlier in SF Eris did bring up the possibility that a court could be divided up between other territories if it's High Lord or High Lady were taken out without an heir so maybe Helion has been dealing with push-back from his entourage regarding him not having one? That does track a bit with what we know of "period" books, where a ruler is expected to have an heir in the event that something would happen to them and it would set the stage for Helion discovering Lucien is his. Or, maybe he's stressed over the Pegasus since we know the foals keep dying due to that mysterious illness. As far as Day Court in general, I think we'll eventually learn why Helion ended up with the remaining Pegasus from the "Dusk Court" and why he seemed to have a connection to the Trove through his ancestors. Regardless, I'm excited Sarah put that line into SF because it seems to be her gearing up for us to explore places outside of the NC and we know that anything related to Helion is also going to connect to Lucien and Elain.

[wickedfelinaxo]

Of course my Helion fancast is named Lucien IRL.

FATE. Cauldron blessed. Like calls to like. All that jazz.

[bonecarversbestie]

I've seen a theory floating around that Eris is actually also Helion's son, and while it’s an interesting theory, I think it takes a lot of impact out of both Eris’s and Lucien's stories.

Eris has a potentially beautiful arc ahead of him where he can prove that he is more than his blood and upbringing. He has the chance to break the tradition of abuse and tyranny in the Autumn Court, and lead it into a new age.

And Lucien has spent his life running from titles and power even though he is clearly destined to rule. He can’t really do that if Eris is actually the heir to the Day Court.

Also, I just love the idea of Lucien and Eris repairing their relationship and being High Lords together.

[the-lonelybarricade]

What if Helion and LoA were Icarus and the Sun?

[olenvasynyt]

Autumn Court has fancy jeweled daggers, Day Court has daggers with horse heads on the hilt 🐎 Because Pegasus

[ladydelena]

Acotar/ToG Absolute CRACK theory:

At first I thought Eris/Mor were mates and that was the secret, but what if Eris wanted Mor because they’re both crochan/witch descendant royalty? And that's what he suspected when they were young? Not a mating bond?

The both have manon's eyes/The eyes of the valg kings right? But (and also I still think he's Helion's son) he realized she and Azriel were mates when he was searching for her in the woods because he could sense the bond the way helion/lucien sense those things? And he respects the mating bond (as well as the fact that i think he suspected Mor was not into him) so he broke the engagement (obviously in a crass way, the best he could under his circumstances, we know he has a moral compass even if he's an ass too.)

Please do not take this seriously, or do, I am in crack theory mode lmao.

[yennas-stuff]
