Elucien - Blog Posts
Just a little bit of a passionate Elucien for you!
Okay so I’ve had the Gwynriel head canon for a while and I need to share it.
Imagine it’s “Family Dinner” for the IC and gang and they’re down at the River House
I mean everyone is there, including Lucien and Varian
(for the sake of the story and the fact that I’m a huge Elain/Lucien shipper let’s say they are together at this point)
They’re all eating and all of a sudden Feyre turns to Azriel
She then says “Hey Azriel, there is this girl in my art class”
(at this point the rest of the table shuts up real quick)
She then, with the help of Rhys, tells him all about this girl who they think is just perfect for him
But what no one at the table knows is that he’s been seeing Gwyn for almost a year (they swear they didn’t mean to make it a secret, it just kinda happened)
And Azriel has to tell them “she sounds great but I’m actually already seeing someone”
Dead silence
Then the room ERUPTS
(Let’s remember, Azriel only had feelings for Mor for 500 years, then another women who was unavailable. And this friend group also has absolutely no concept of privacy, so this would be big news.)
Cassian and Rhys are trying to be calm but they are effectively losing their minds
Mor is just grinning and hammering him with questions
As is Feyre
He eventually agrees to bring her to Family Dinner™️ the next time they all get together
So the next day he tells Gwyn
She is understandably very nervous, but excited to officially meet everyone
(Of course she already knows Nesta and Cassian, and she’s met Mor a few times. She met the rest of his family very briefly at Nesta and Cassian’s mating ceremony but that’s it.)
She then insists they have to go shopping so she can find something to wear, since all she has is her priestess robes and training leathers, she also has that dress she wore to Nesta’s mating ceremony but she’s meeting her partner’s family, it’s a special occasion
And it’s not like she can go with Nesta or Emerie without raising alarm bells
So Azriel goes with her
And she has to look perfect, she insists she can’t overdress and she certainly can’t underdress, not when she’ll be dining with the High Lord, High Lady, and the Morrigan
So she eventually finds this dress that she thinks is just perfect
She tries it on and shows Azriel and he is blown away
“You look so beautiful Gwyn”
He says a bunch of other cute shit
Needless to say she buys it and heads back to the House of Wind with Azriel
The day of the dinner, Gwyn is surprisingly calm
Azriel on the other hand is freaking out
I mean he is so nervous
He knows he is in love with Gwyn, the way he feels about her doesn’t even come close to how he felt about Mor or Elain
And she’s about to meet his family
When they get to the River House, they’re the last to arrive
They stand outside together for a moment, Gwyn can tell he’s nervous
She comforts him somehow idk
They walk in, hand-in-hand and are greeted by a grinning Rhys and Cassian standing in the entry way (á la Cassian and Azriel meeting Feyre in ACOMAF)
And Cassian busts out laughing
Rhys just stares, eyes wide
Once Cassian recovers, he says “Oh Nesta is gonna be so pissed I found out before she did”
Rhys, ever the gentleman, steps forward and shakes Gwyn’s hand, introducing himself
They chat for a few minutes before heading into the living room, where everyone else is
Nesta is the first to see them
She looks right at Gwyn and says “oh you bitch”
After somewhat awkwardly introducing Gwyn to everyone, they all sit down for dinner
The group grills Gwyn with questions
They chill out after Gwyn says something that has Azriel burst out laughing
Long story short they all end up loving her and are very happy for the couple
And if they notice his shadows are more lively around her, they don’t say anything
I have so many Gwynriel headcanons so let me know if anyone wants more
I don’t care who the next ACOTAR romantic pairing is I swear if I don’t get a WELL THOUGHT OUT AND COOKED MATING MEAL….
I’m gonna freaking lose it
I’m currently watching the Swifties use their master deciphering skills to try and determine if SJM’s insta post is more elriel or elucien coded
(Guilty as sin) what kind of vibe is it giving???
My favorite thing is when the ACOTAR/TOG/CC men look at their mates for the first time and describe them as the most beautiful woman they’ve ever seen
When I first joined Acotar tumblr I followed ALL of the tags because I wanted the most content. Now my feed is a war of ships and pros and antis.
I’m here for the drama tho.
Lucien Fancast
Booboo Stewart- Lucien
Age- 29
Hear me out... he'd dye his hair. Or wear a wig. He may not look like the fanarts that people are used to, but Booboo Stewart would fit Lucien's character really well. His charisma is off the charts. Have you seen his smile? From playing Seth in Twilight to Jay in Descendants, he often becomes a fan favorite. This would be no different. He would be exceptional playing our clever Spring Court Emissary.
I'll jump aboard the Lets-Get-Tamlin-A-Ladyfriend-Who-Will-Wear-That-Ring ship. 😊 Maybe for a future fic??? 👀
I love Elain being assertive and telling Lucien she she wants. 💕 Also loved her exploring his room. I always imaged he'd have a cozy and warm bedroom.
This screams "Mating Behavior" from Solon and I am soooo into it.
I hope I'm right and they're not actually related. 😭
Gods I'm loving this fanfic, A Court of Lingering Lights by @limeandorange
I just saw this in my email!!!!!!!!!!
I love this fic so damn much. When it's done I'm downloading it and making it a pretty cover, just like I did for Unforged Hearts. 💕💕💕
If you send nasty anon messages to people who support a different ship than you...
Please know that I absolutely hate your guts. I don't care if you support the same ships as me or not; don't fucking do that shit. It's juvenile and beyond stupid. All you do is make yourself look like Mor a clown.
So this could possibly mean the 6th book will be an Azriel/Gwynriel centric book or Elucien (SJM already strongly hinted to Elain and Lucien going through a healing journey together).
I'll be happy with either, tbh.
"might break us" is someone going to finally die and actually stay dead?! As long as it's not Nesta, Tamlin or Eris, I don't care who it is. 🤣
Ugh, I am desperate for more information! 😭
Two of my favorite things being paralleled in quotes? What a treat!!
“A lady’s imagination is very rapid; it jumps from admiration to love, from love to matrimony in a moment.”
Lucien watched the ever-young forest. “Isn’t that what all human women wish for? A handsome faerie lord to wed and shower them with riches for the rest of their lives?”
"From the first moment I met you, your arrogance and conceit, your selfish disdain for the feelings of others made me realize that you were the last man in the world I could ever be prevailed upon to marry."
Her mouth tightened, the only sign of anger in her graceful countenance. “I don’t want a mate. I don’t want a male.”
I dare say you will find him amiable.
“He is a good male,” I repeated.
"It would be most inconvenient since I have sworn to loathe him for all eternity"
She just ignored him or barely spoke to him until he got the hint and left
He's been a fool about so many things, about Jane, and others... but then, so have I. You see, he and I are so similar.
How Lucien withstood it, I didn’t know. Not that he’d shown any interest in bridging that gap between them.
but I said, “You couldn’t say a single word to him? A pleasant greeting?” Elain only stared at the steaming kettle as she set it on the stone counter.
"You are too generous to trifle with me. If your feelings are still what they were last April...."
Elain only shrank further into herself,
tell me so at once. My affections and wishes are unchanged; but one word from you will silence me on this subject for ever.
Cassian’s heart strained at the pain etching deep into Lucien’s face as he tried to hide his disappointment and longing.
But she doesn't like him. I thought she didn't like him.
"She has no interest in him anyway"
"So did I, so did we all. We must have been wrong."
SJM loves P&P which in it's simplist form is two characters who develop misconceptions about the other upon their initial meeting. Who can't help but being drawn together throughout the book but refuse to admit it due to their own stubbornness. As a result they either act indifferent and push the other away (Elizabeth) or suffer in silence with longing (Darcy).
It's weird that people know of her love for this movie / book and how everyone in it believed Elizabeth greatly disliked Darcy (up until the end) yet they still act like Elain's indifference towards Lucien is a bad thing.

@elainweekofficial | Day 04: Seen/Unseen
Amanda and I have been holding onto this beauty for far too long! We're so happy to finally be able to share this lovely art!
In honor of Elain Week, we wanted to get an art piece done with someone who not only sees Elain, but who truly cares about her wellbeing.
Thank you so much @/pablochmn for this magical art! It's so beautiful and sweet! We love working with you!

Elain and Lucien celebrate Saint Patrick’s Day the best way they know how—clad in green and Elain teasing her favorite redhead. Prythian’s best-looking, best dressed, and voted best hair couple always steps out in style. The Prince and Princess of Prythian.
(On a real note, I am beyond feral for them)

Okay but... Lucien respecting Elains strong connection to her human life and courting her like a human man rather than a fae...
Forcing Jurian and Vassa to teach him what to do
Endless studying and reading human books
'Calling' on her and taking walks in the garden
Writing her letters
Getting Papa Archerons approval when they spent time together on the ship
"I can't make you human again, but I can give you the love you've always wanted"
Proposing marriage by getting down on one knee
A wedding and exchanging rings
Caling each other husband and wife
