You know why I'm here.

Satharion please.

HAHA YES, I DO.

You already have my voice notes on this. You already know what's cooking.

A little teaser for you!

Tharion’s jaw tightened as he watched Sathia stand between her parents.

The woman he had fallen in love with – his wife was nowhere to be found; her parents sucked whatever joy she had. Whatever confidence she had, their presence made it disappear. 

“Is this what you want, Sath?” he asked, forcing himself to speak calmly, his eyes fully locked on hers.

“Use her full name when speaking to her, Mer.” her father demanded. 

“I’m speaking to my wife.” Tharion snapped. “I’d appreciate you keeping your comments to yourself.”

His father-in-law snorted as Sathia flushed but Tharion’s gaze didn’t shift.

“Is it?” he asked again. Things had been getting better. They had been getting along. He’d kissed her for the first time a week ago and she had melted in his arms.

Her parents showing up to drag her back to the broken pieces of their snobbish society hadn’t been in the cards; neither of them had expected it. Now they were here, trying to take a piece of his chipped heart with them.

She was his wife, damn it.

Eris sipped the water from the goblet while he eyed him, the pet name he bestowed upon him making him feel funny inside. “What is your name?” he asked. He smiled as if he had been waiting to tell him, “Alexius.”

Chapter 9 Update

Summary: One moment. All it takes is one singular moment to change the trajectory of fate. Following the events of Hybern, everything changes when Lucien instinctively grabs his mate—Elain Archeron—and brings her back to the Spring Court with Feyre and Tamlin. 

In the midst of war and ruin, Elain and Lucien will have to face the bond that connects them together if they hope to survive the unintended consequences. To do so, they’ll have to prevail through games of deceit, powerful forces of magic, and deadly enemies. And hope their hearts survive the journey. 

A retelling of A Court of Wings and Ruin (ACOWAR) and a Canon Divergent AU. 

Notes: Chapter 9 Update - Water. Weekly updates begin now!!

"I wanted to know…how do you feel about a little exploring?” Elain felt the corners of her lips tick upward. “You mean explore…Velaris?”

Eris with mama hound Lithia and her puppy Nickel for @erisweekofficial . Lithia and Nickel appear in @zenkindoflove's Eris fics.

"He mostly thought of his hounds. The kennel master, Oberyn, had informed him just before he left that Lithia was ready to whelp her litter any day. He liked to be there when the new puppies were born, but he couldn’t this time." Pull me in deeper on AO3

"Nickel however was still pacing, distracted by his own excitement. “Nickel! Watch me!” Nickel halted in his steps and turned around to press his snout against the bars. He looked up at Eris with his mismatched eyes, one dark brown and the other blue. He sat down on his rear, his expression attentive, but Eris still could see the wild energy circulating in his gaze." The Jewel of the Forest House on AO3

This was originally intended for Hounds day, but Free day works too since I could finish it only today

Hope you enjoy! I haven't done my own art let alone characters in a long time.

Lol I love how the whole point I made is you shouldn't have to do that but they played stupid games and now are winning stupid prizes.

They’re actually, honest to god, arguing that Azriel torturing people is better than Tamlin abuse

The gag being they wouldn’t have to defend Azriel’s honor at all if they didn’t start the moral superiority game in the first place

[yennas-stuff]

Lucien truly is Helions son with the way all future plot points orbit around him like he's the Sun.

Here's a learning aid. Use wisely. Also, peep Eris on Uranus @zenkindoflove

[works-of-heart]

Happy Elucien week @elucienweekofficial !!

This is my entry for Day 1- Fated!

I drew a stained glass picture of Elain and Lucien, their worlds coming together in this mural. I was reminded of that of Cthona and Solas and thought, what if their fates are connected?

I worked on a collab with @zenkindoflove to bring that sentiment to life, and she wrote an amazing fic to go with it! Please read her work here!

We are so excited to bring this to you all! I hope you enjoy!!

details of the commission I filled for the lovely @zenkindoflove to celebrate @erisweekofficial day 5: war | adventure. It was so fun to draw someone new from the acotar fandom, and even more so to be introduced to a great fancasting of Freddie Fox aka Gwayne from House of the Dragon. 🍁

“What if I don’t know what to wish for?” Alexius scoffed, “Oh, I doubt that.”

Kneel Before Me - Elucien Oneshot

Title: Kneel Before Me

Relationship: Elain x Lucien; Elucien

Rating: E, NSFW

Status: One-shot, ~11,000 words

Summary: Lucien arrives at the House of Wind, only to be drawn into a sparring match with none other than the Inner Circle's own Shadowsinger. Things get out of hand and Azriel discovers whether he really can defeat Lucien easily.

READ ON AO3

A/N: This one-shot has been turning around in my head for a long time now. Was I heavily inspired to take a stab at this after watching Dune Part Two? Absolutely. Was I also motivated because I'm tired of this fandom thinking that Azriel actually could take on Lucien in a fight. You betcha. Hence, this idea was born.

Please read the tags. You have been warned. If you are a big Azriel fan, this fic is probably not for you. So read at your own risk. This one is for my lovely underdog, Lucien, and all the Lucien girlies who know what's up.

Sneak peak under the cut

“You didn't think we’d end there, did you?" Azriel bounced on his toes. “We need to show Nesta how the Autumn Court fighting style handles hand-to-hand combat."

His words almost sounded helpful, but all Lucien could hear in his tone was pure aggression.

Lucien shook his head. This was too far for him. He didn’t want anything to do with this. It reminded him of the games that his brothers used to play in Autumn. Azriel was clearly trying to goad him, if not into a real fight, close enough to one to humiliate him in some way.

“I don’t think so. The point was made. Nesta has seen what she needs to for now.” He threw his sparring sword to the side, turning his back to Azriel to exit the ring.

“I knew you were a coward,” Azriel called out to him.

Lucien froze, his shoulders raising as his rage crawled up his spine. He could see the faces of the others, their eyes widening at Azriel’s taunt. Elain’s face especially looked confused and apprehensive. She flicked her gaze to him, and it hurt him to see the worry in her delicate features.

Lucien rolled his shoulders before he turned to face Azriel again. If the Shadowsinger wanted a war with words, Lucien would happily oblige him.

“Coward? Interesting. I didn’t see you jumping to volunteer to go to the continent when we were at war.”

“You’re right. Instead, I was here. Saving your mate from Hybern.”

Lucien instinctually balled his fists. It was a weak spot, and Azriel knew it. As soon as Lucien heard what happened to Elain when he was on the continent, he immediately regretted leaving her. It prompted him to hang out in Velaris those first few months after the war, before it all became too unbearable, and it was clear Elain was safe.

“I never did thank you for that,” Lucien replied, schooling his features. Never let them see how their words affect you. It was a lesson he learned long ago. “So, thank you, Azriel, for keeping Elain safe.”

“My pleasure,” Azriel darkened his eyes. “It’s a good thing I was around. I’ve always been here for her.”

Summary: One moment. All it takes is one singular moment to change the trajectory of fate. Following the events of Hybern, everything changes when Lucien instinctively grabs his mate—Elain Archeron—and brings her back to the Spring Court with Feyre and Tamlin.

In the midst of war and ruin, Elain and Lucien will have to face the bond that connects them together if they hope to survive the unintended consequences.

Notes: Chapter 23 Update - Epilogue (Elain's POV). Fast forward several months to their first Winter Solstice. NOW COMPLETE. Big thank you to @zenkindoflove for her encouragement and guidance in my first attempt at a long multichapter fic and for all of her help!

Start on AO3 | Read Chapter 23

While she could make the tulips bloom in snow, they certainly didn’t thrive. Elain could not say quite the same for herself.  Velaris did not truly feel like home, but Lucien did.
