This wasnt the first time that SJM has used imagery or symbolism to suggest the existence of some sort of bond between Elain and Azriel, and Im sure it wont be the last. Luckily, Lucien is there to help Why did Feyre encourage Lucien to spend more time with Elain? WebThe Lucien / Elaine pairing has always confused me. To whet your appetite. Then he was gone. elain didn't want to be turned. In addition to imagery and themes that weve come to associate with Elain and Azriel - cake batter and Singing etc. I'm of the opinion that the necklace won't even cause drama and that the two women are mature enough not to waste pages and pages with this drama. pls share these comments and ppl experiences so these supposed concern about gwyn's health can see how people of SA feels about sex and gwyn's character: https://www.instagram.com/p/CSh2iFnIbzO/?utm_source=ig_web_copy_link&igshid=MzRlODBiNWFlZA==. One day their mother fell ill wit Mischief danced in those violet eyes, washing away the cold distance, the strain. The books for Mor and Azriel would build up the conflict with the continent and talk about tentative peace along with their love stories. or been written with imagery that suggests, I still think it likely that the Cauldron, thanks to either Hybern or Koschei. The spymaster was a black blur against the pale blue sky. Share. It helps me, too. We know that Lucien felt a real thread between Elain and himself, but it was only the one/singular, as well as being tied to a rib, as Elain said, not her, or their, chests or souls (ACOWAR, chapter 29). Koschei remains in play, and Beron might very well be stupid enough to establish an alliance with him, too. (ACOWAR before court of nightmares wait is the bonus chapter set before the end of the book?? Merrill is the obvious choice, but who knows? If we look at the ACOTAR text in its entirety, the use of the term oily appears to be largely associated with the people and creatures of what is currently known as Hybern, and the events that have taken place there. Elain shuddered, drifting closer. And he seems happy with Vassa and Jurian. I hope that whatever Morrigan is doing in Vallahan will counteract the damage my father will unleash.. My father is furious that his ally is dead, but hes not deterred. does that make it set before the rite on the mountain too or am I just entirely discombobulated with the chronology here. The twins, Brannagh and Dagdan, were royals from Hybern. I write the posts I do which read strongly that Eluciens book is next but that is contingent on the villain, like you said. WebElain and Lucien may be mates, and Azriel (at least currently within the book) may be in love with Mor, but the idea of free will is not something to be so easily dismissed. Neither will I. She could have sworn Cassian was repressing a laugh, but she kept her gaze on Eris, who went rigid, rippling with rage. There is an interview SJM did, I have it posted somewhere on my blog, but she was asked who actually had the biggest wingspan and she said that while she has her own thoughts about it (my guess is Rhys considering she said hed be the ojey thing shed take to a deserted island) she leaves it open ended for the reader to decide for themselves. Now if they end up together is anyone's guess but I bet they share a book. And I'm so scared for Sarah and glad that she's not in social media anymore. And then asked, noticing the gore on him, the torn clothes and still-bloody weapons, Are you Well, I never want to fight in another battle as long as I live, but yes, Im in one piece.. Who are you? He knew without demanding clarification that she was aware of what he was to her. Chanted - chanting is often used to describe words when specifically used to cast spells, or sing. Sure they could have dated other people and maybe been happy but we dont know if they would share mate coding with those people and been as happy and powerful as they are together. You know I always say that Sarah's books reached the wrong audience because of Tiktok for advertising it as a smut books, which they're way more than that. Nesta saying Az was going to be the new ribbon came of as Nesta trying to get a reaction out of Azriel. In addition to making the most sense in terms of what we have read so far with regards to the differences in behaviour between Elain and Azriel, and Elain and Lucien - in my opinion, of course - the El*cien bond being a Cauldron Made spell over an actual mating bond would also have the likely benefit of being less messy in terms of rejection, as @nikethestatue has suggested, which would be kinder/less painful on both Elain and Lucien in the long run. - ACOMAF, chapter 50. The daughter of Ed and Lil Grandstrand, I suppose once we have the Crown in our hands, the Night Court wont need you after all. Considering these are Azs people, why are they all on board the Elucien train? bc these two are 1. men 2. they threaten other ships (e/riel and fey/in). Elain shifted so she was laying more on his chest than his shoulder. The magic leaking from the boat, the oily sheen itd laid over Rhyss power it vanished, too. These two brothers are extremely connected and well informed and theyve been going out of their way to share information with the NC. Elucien fics have completely made them my favorite pairing. He is the spymaster shadowsinger of Rhysand and belongs to his Inner Circle. I do think too many people rely on what others tell them about the books on social media rather than making sure it matches with what is in the books. Healing looks different for every person, that doesnt mean they have to be stuck in this bubble where they cannot ever touch another person only because you assume they cannot ever move on from their trauma. The Hybern twins, Ianthe and Jurian were there when Feyre experienced this. Dunn, Elaine R. age 98 of Onalaska, Wisconsin; previously residing in Excelsior, Minnesota passed away at her home on July 27th. Lucien comes in to where they are and Feyre gets into his mind so she can hear his thoughts, as she is worried for Elain. The power of the Book of Breathings, which they needed for their mission to Hybern, felt oily in Feyres blood. Heaviness weighed on her. BUT I did see a post where an anti claimed that because Bryce and hunt chose to be mates, Elain will OBVIOUSLY choose Azriel. Elain refused the leathers. Lucien to Feyre in ACOFAS: You will need Tamlin as an ally before the dust has settled. Like Im sorry but op wrote this long ass post about Quinlars choice = Elriel but ignored the glowing within Bryces chest when Hunt first kissed her in CC & in their additional bonus which matches Azriels thoughts of Gwyn. But they clearly know little about this.. Also, if the link seems to link you back to the Master List, scroll to the bottom for the actual post. Follow/Fav A Court of Nightmares and Light. Were they also related to Koschei in some way, or had they bargained with him, perhaps for extra power after their kings planned demise? If Elain has no interest in him then why is Rhys telling Az to back off? Also, we dont know if it was truly a choice between Quinlar because would the same things have happened had Hunt ever called Shahar his mate? Feysands bonus is set after they announced the pregnancy to their friends, about chapter 22. Im hoping that if theyve been stressful, youve had the chance to find ways to relax and unwind especially outside the fandom because this is definitely not the place for that . And why havent Az or Elain made any plans on what theyll say to Lucien if they do in fact have feelings for one another? Amren and Mor are Back on my Blodeuwedd / Elain has Goddess Like Powers Theory (based on SJMs pinterest tag of Blodeuwedd under Elain and skipping how Lucien and Az easily fit into the retelling this time). Elaine will most be remembered for her devotion to Elain might not want a mate or a male because shes trying to convince herself its the truth all the while being frustrated that shes extremely drawn to Lucien. Could the spark that Lucien saw indicate a spell activating due to his proximity to Elain, or his/their being at the House of Wind? When Elaine goes to warn Graysen of the upcoming war, he is disgusted that she Am I not sending twice-weekly reports to your spymaster?, Not feeling very festive at all, I said sharply, That you now feel more comfortable with humans than with the High Fae. The guard hanging between the posts had such hope and gratitude in his eyes. When I read that scene, I didnt register anything that made me think oh Az and gwyn are going to be together. Could she have decided to write a book taking us back to the very first war when the Daglan were defeated? That's it. Having an opinion is one thing but when something is acceptable for one ship but not the other, its just hypocritical. Now, lets have a look at the remaining examples, in order, before returning to Luciens first proper meeting with Elain. Elain is vulnerable after coming out of the Cauldron and its then that Lucien covers her with his jacket. And the door slammed shut. Did they now. I shrugged in his arms, trying not to think about the naked body that night all those weeks agothough I hadnt glimpsed much. Given their fate, its unlikely that well ever know, but it is fun to wonder. I dont think it was ever about the necklace so much as the experience Az had when giving the necklace to each possible love interest. It was very empowering to read someones experience and what they felt comfortable with. That theyll make a plan to head to the continent (with Jurian) to free Vassa and deal with Koschei and Beron but will conveniently forget to reveal their plans to Rhys and Feyre? Chest - we come across Azriel feeling envy in his chest, where we know mating bonds are felt - and thanks to Cassian, we know that Azriel knows this, too - while thinking of both Feyre and Rhys, and Nesta and Cassian. And he could have sworn something sparked in them as she met his gaze. Saw their plan, clear and simple: rile us, distract us, while the two quiet royals slid into our minds. It has been 2 years since the war, and Lucien and Elain have grown closer and closer. If a lightsinger wanted to lure Aelin Galathynius, for example, they could plant the image of a chocolate cake in her mind. Both events occurred at the House of Wind - once again, wind is associated with Koschei. but theres only going to be so many battles. Of course I want Lucien to be happyjust not with Elain. Nothing. Im not your enemy, you know. Elaine and Lucien should be a thing. In this in this, my revenge edged toward something oily, something foreign and queasy. Maybe its truly a lack of awareness that makes some uncomfortable with the idea and while I can understand that to some degree (as humans were not always comfortable with that which were not familiar with), hopefully were all self aware enough to stop making blanket assumptions when it comes to sensitive subjects especially because of the harm a certain way of thinking can cause to real life survivors. I feel like the fandom needs a solid timeline sheet or something to reference . A romantic dinner, an exchange of gifts, and a new suite of bedroom toys to try out. Until we are in Gwyns head and have her thoughts on what SHE thinks of Az and sex, no one should be boxing her into anything. My offer was sincere. - ACOMAF, chapter 59. Like, cant make eye contact and have no idea what to say awkward and uncomfortable. He frowned, and twisted gently to see if Elain was okay. Elain was born into a high society family dedicated to the merchant business consisting of a father, a mother and two sisters: an older one, Nesta, and a younger one, Feyre. Could this be further evidence that the bond between Elain Archeron and Lucien Vanserra did not pre-date Elains time in the Cauldron at Hybern? You might need it.. Because where power should have been thrumming from him, obliterating them It was a muffled rumble. Az will end up with Gwyn and Elaine will be devastated because she felt a connection with him. - ACOMAF, chapter 25. Maybe theyll have missed the mark and SJMs version of kink will deviate from that however it does not make those who commission or draw the art wrong for their current interpretation. Ive noticed in this day and age, people like to toss around that all opinions are valid but thats a misnomer. I mean, I do think there is some symbolism to be found between Elain and the charm (seems ordinary, easily dismissed until held to the light - is that not Elains personality? Engdahl, Ruth Elaine age 84, of Plymouth, MN, passed away on Saturday, July 22, 2023, after a short, peaceful hospice stay. WebLucien and Elaine are also mates, but Elaine is still in love with her human fianc, Graysen, and is too emotionally fragile to pursue a relationship with Lucien. And while the NC is occasionally forthcoming and at times decent to Lucien and Eris, theres always an underlying lack of disdain, disrespect or lack of trust the IC has towards them. WebImma root for Elain and Lucien just because the fanarts are so fucking beautiful. When we return home, lets get out the measuring stick, shall we?, Lucien Vanserra (the Man, the Myth, the Legend), Nesta lifted her chin, smirking at last. SJM spoke of the consequences that would result from Nesta changing her and Feyres anatomy and I always thought that meant there would be an issue with the Illyrians. and they instantly shut down lol. Did you think Id appear at this battle myself? He waved a hand toward the soldiers still watching. Dunn, Elaine R. age 98 of Onalaska, Wisconsin; previously residing in Excelsior, Minnesota passed away at her home on July 27th. Hed tracked it herethat strange damper on his power, on the Siphons power. I am Lucien. Hunt previously loved Shahar and chose to be with her yet she still wasnt his mate (choice or not). WebSo My ideal is for SJM to write 5 more books. They also said Azriels wings are the biggest. Mischief danced in those violet eyes, washing away the cold distance, the strain. Started gnawing on her insides. You are mine, and I am yours. He showered her with gifts of flowers and Vassa saw through Jurian's lies and warned her fellow queens against allying with Hybern, stating that Jurian's resurrection was a bad sign and Existing theories: this post, by @icedflames, and this post by @elriell, discussing spells, threads and mating bonds. So it is possible that the Cauldron picked Lucien as Elains mate BEFORE her power was given to her. Not all opinions are equal and valid and this one such example. At this point, anything is possible until were told otherwise by the author herself. Similarly, Lucien and Elains relationship could have been built without Azriel complicating an already painful mating bond. Happy Solstice to you, Feyre., But I asked, And what, exactly, does this Band of Exiles plan to do? GameStop Moderna Pfizer Johnson & Johnson AstraZeneca Walgreens Best Buy Novavax SpaceX Tesla. Azriel, the spymaster of the Night Court, one of the most powerful Illyrians to walk Prythian. Could the third be about Helion and the LoA? But (and I know Im just repeating myself on this), Elains ball is only going to get rolling in her book and not in someone elses. If you claim you have a degree that makes you qualified to diagnose that Gwyn is not ready, youd be wrong. I also suspect that Koschei was using the King of Hybern for his own ends, but again, that is for another post. In a way, Gwynriel and Elucien could be the next books. Obviously, Lucien is the son of Lady Autumn and Helion of Day and was Emissary of Spring. How I use BDSM to cope with the trauma from my sexual assault, Every 98 seconds, an American becomes a survivor of sexual assault. He blushes and his Lucien cant be entirely trusted anymore. Cassian started. Was it a spell activating to approximate a mating bond, so she saw 'what Lucien was to her, but not whom? I also like both characters separately (Lucien being my favorite character in the series) and I think they have a ton of potential. It impacts the lives of whoever they end up with (that person always knowing that their SO has a unique bond with someone else, a super special connection that only mates share). I suspect that serpent-like imagery, such as slithered, is associated with Dusk/Hybern and the Hewn City. Lucien is shaken by this, BUT he is also running away. Lucien really needs to come first and be happy. She returned TT and she didnt look back (SJM added that extra detail for a reason), which makes sense as cruelty bothers her and she returned the necklace after being called a mistake. But even as shame washed through him, the words, the sense chanted, Mine. Because Elains power was a gift after the Cauldron found her so lovely. Having Lucien, Elain, Eris AND Mor (as well as Jurian and Vassa) all in the continent together makes a lot of sense when tying up loose threads: I knew why you did it. Again that secret smile that had Mor shrinking. WebVassa is one of the Mortal Queens that live in the Mortal Lands of the Continent, she rules the kingdom of Scythia. While Lucien can be gentle, Elain seems uninterested and Lucien should be himself with his love. I fear that it might also be reaching out to others as well. Im talking about you, about to kiss Elain, in the middle of the hallway where anyone could see you, including her mate. lol I was skimming through your blog and I saw ppl love to say elain is uncomfortable around lucien I once had this argument with someone and I asked them "why hasn't she break the mating bond?" You wouldnt be ready in real life therefore shes not ready either.This world seems to be full of people telling other people how theyre allowed to feel about their own life experiences and it makes no sense to me. I have more to say I just dont feel like typing, so part two is coming. Christianson, Elaine M. (Coshenet) age 86, went home to be with her Lord and Savior Jesus Christ on July 21, 2023. Luciens actions appeared to mimic a bond, but they werent truly the same (and no shame to him, hed never met Elain before). Mine was shielded. Rhys was a SA victim yet he wanted Feyre to be on top which is symbolic of him ceding control to her in order to help him heal from the memory of Amarantha. She is uncomfortable around him, and doesn't really want to be with him for obvious reasons. Also, taking the details away from certain characters to make them fit into our own ideals? I've never been on those websites and I'm not planing to but I made mistake of searching "Gwynriel" on twitter and MY GOD it's bad!! Links only seem to work well from a laptop or desktop versus phone. of gnawing heaviness) - not all, she obviously had genuine trauma from a lot of things, but some - perhaps sent to her by Koschei, in order to keep her weakened? What people tend to forget is that these books are so much more that some some sex scenes and supposedly badass female characters. It does not do a disservice to the character of Gwyn. There is a 99.9% chance that there will be intimacy as these are romance books and she has written sex into every single one of hers. We know Eriss (and Luciens) fire will probably not be a match for Koscheis lake: His fire wouldnt have withstood Koscheis lake, I dont think.. She would be a Rhys and Nesta are r*pe survivors who healed differently and felt safe when it comes to intimacy with people they choose to be with and keep in mind their healing is an ongoing process.
