Azriel bonus having him meeting Gwyneth, talking to her, feeling bad for her past, having a chuckle, wishing her a happy solstice and then leaving the training site.
Cassian bonus having him meeting Emerie, talking to her, feeling bad for her past, flashing her a smile, wishing her a happy solstice and then leaving the shop.
Cassian throwing the solstice gift into the Sidra river like a furious warrior and some people thinking it was over for Nesta, and that that scene with Emerie meant something.
Azriel leaving the solstice gift in the library like a sad gentleman and some people thinking it was over for Elain, and that that scene with Gwyneth meant something.
For Gwyneth to be Azriel's mate, it would first have to overcome the huge indication that Mor is Azriel's mate and the fact that she was created really late when the plot structure was already complete and clearly was just meant to be Nesta's gym friend alongside Emerie, one being a priestess and other being an Illyrian female, both females bringing Nesta down to Earth, a creation made just for the Valkyries, which are obviously linked to Cassian. Meanwhile, Elain's friends are half shadow-wraith and spies linked to Azriel.
For Gwyneth to be Azriel's mate now, Sarah would have to make Gwyneth a literal copy of Elain, making Gwyneth the 'secret true mate', put the Mother around them, make Azriel question the Cauldron for her, give his Truth-Teller to her, make Azriel blush when she says that his scars are beautiful, make Azriel protective of her, make Azriel carry her around, make Azriel have blue balls because of her, make Azriel think about her every night and fantasize about her, make Azriel keep her simple gift that made him laugh loud as something very valuable on his nightstand, make his shadows disappear when she is around, make Azriel brush hands and exchange charged glances with her, bring her into the Inner Circle and become besties with Feyre too and be treated as the third sister, make her become besties with Nuala and Cerridwen, and much more.
This is insane. Anyway, fuck that.
Those feelings that are over 500 years old are really strange. The way Mor reacted to Azriel getting over it because of Elain and when he revealed to everyone Elain is a seer was really highlighted by Sarah. Want foreshadowing? Here you go.
With Mor and Azriel, it was questioned why the bond didn't snap.
With Elain and Azriel, it was questioned why they aren't mates.
With Elain and Lucien, it was questioned why they are mates.
We have a 'mating bond problem' surrounding this quartet together: Elain, Lucien, Azriel, Morrigan. It needs to be solved in the next book.
Not to mention the strong similarities between Elain and Morrigan that intrigue me a lot, like both having 'rich brown eyes' and 'golden hair', being able to see things others can't, and being forced with Vanserras.
What Sarah did is very clear. It's the stupidity that blinds some people in this fandom.

I love how Sarah created this huge vibe that Azriel is Elain's secret lover. It's so freaking hot!
Do you guys realize that Sarah created the perfect setting for Azriel to become Elain's secret lover if she wants him as it? Even if Elucien happens? (which it won't)
That bonus scene of Elriel meeting at late night while Lucien is asleep in a room gives off a lot of forbidden love and sexy asf secret lover vibes. Even if Elucien were endgame, the girl would find her happiness in other ways.
This would 100% happen:
Rhys: Where have you been, Azriel? I couldn't find you anywhere. Did you leave Velaris? The Night Court? Where to?
Azriel: *silent for a few seconds*
Azriel: I'm seeing a married woman. I can't tell you more than that. *leaves the room*
I just wanted to make it clear that the necklace Azriel bought thinking about Elain and gave to her as a gift on solstice night now represents emotional pain, frustration, stress, discomfort, and sadness. For Azriel, that necklace in any woman's hand (any of the priestesses, as he was thinking when he gave it to Clotho) is a necklace he discarded because it now carries all that night that happened with Elain, the crap that went down, so the worst thing to think is that this necklace given to Clotho is something romantic for Gwyneth. He doesn't want to see that necklace again. He just gave it to Clotho and that whole 'Gwyn' thing happened because of the lightsinger easter egg.
Azriel probably thinks he returned it to the shop and doesn't remember going to the library. He was feeling very sad over what happened and ended up in the library because of the lightsinger powers, just like it happened the other night when he left pissed and sad after what went down and was lured to the exact place where Gwyneth was training, then he got tired of her presence and left her there alone and went away.
That's what happened.
There's no 'introduction to a new romance' to a single and free male character who just said "it was a mistake" to a sad female character trapped in a nasty biological forced marriage in this fucking series.
I want to know in which romance book the soft, sweet female character meets a hot as fuck, protective male character in the middle of the night and gets aroused and wants him to kiss her after putting a beautiful necklace he bought for her on her neck while the male character who is supposedly her endgame is sleeping in the other room like a clown
Azriel's midnight thoughts that made him question the Cauldron:
One of my brothers found his mate, and she loves him.
His mate has two sisters.
I like the third sister... a lot.
My second brother seems to be feeling something strong for the second sister too.
I found out the third sister is not my mate, but I still like her...
My second brother and the second sister don't seem to be doing well.
I think I'm in love with the third sister.
My second brother found out the second sister he loves is his mate.
Why were the women my brothers loved given to them...
but the woman I love wasn't given to me?
Elriel was happening before Nessian, but somehow Nessian are mates but Elriel aren't?
How could anyone dare accuse Azriel of "wanting what his brothers have" when Elriel would be the second brother and second sister to be together if it weren't for the mating bond fuckery and people around them forcing them not to fall in love and not be together for not having the damn mating bond card?
Pro Elain is Anti-Elucien because Elain isn't an object to be biologically attached to a man she doesn't want and be forced to accept him.
Pro Elain is Pro Elriel because Elain deserves to be together with the man who loves her for who she is and not because of a mating bond.
Pro Azriel is Anti-Gwynriel because Azriel doesn't need a mating bond to love a woman and he doesn't need a woman biologically attached to him to be worthy of love.
Pro Azriel is Pro Elriel because Azriel deserves to be with the woman he loves and who chooses him above everything, even a mating bond that was forced upon her, showing how much she wants his love.
What do you guys think of a situation where our brave trembling fawn fights in her own way to protect Azriel...
... but gets hurt really badly?
I can't even think what kind of berserk mental state Azriel would get into. He’s already very protective of Elain, as we’ve seen.
It's cool to imagine that he would take on a completely dark form, pure darkness, like an angel of death, because he's so consumed by shadows and pain and wrath,
because someone dared to hurt the Lovely Fawn in front of Death.
I would wish good luck to everyone around, because only ashes would be left.

Do the antis seriously think that Azriel led Elain to believe that they could have something, let her develop feelings for him all this time, making her choose him over her mate, OVERCOMING THE TRAUMA OF BEING REJECTED AGAIN BY THE MAN SHE LOVES BECAUSE SHE IS TRAPPED IN A MATING BOND SHE DOESN'T WANT only for him to then jump to other and tell her "it was a mistake, actually, I felt guilty, sad and angry that time for saying this to you but now I understand I'm meant for Gwyneth, and you are Lucien's" like a GRAYSEN 2.0 MIXED WITH A BREEDING ROBOT???
Do they REALLY think SJM is going to make Azriel - the most soft, gentleman male character - do to her what Graysen did, and then Elain will end up with a unknown man because of a trashy biological forced marriage and leave the Night Court to live far away with unknown people like a good little female and forgotten sister while other side character created only a book ago takes the man who made her have hope that love triumphs even a mating bond, becomes the aunt of the her beloved nephew and takes her place as the third sister, all her symbols (roses, truth-teller...) and even her only friends???
I've never seen such deep and senseless hatred for a soft feminine female character
Nesta's book ended with the three sisters together, Elain holding Nyx in her arms. Elain's book will probably end with all three sisters and three brothers together, fulfilling the prophecy.
Headcanon: When Elain accidentally messes up the recipe and runs off crying, Azriel eats it all anyway and goes after her screaming "ELAIN I LOVE YOUR BREADS!!!"
Just imagine if Gwynriels were actually a character in ACOTAR world:
"Elain is an evil bitch! She is going to betray this court! Just wait!"
"Elain can't carry Illyrian babies in her womb, so being romantically with Azriel is useless. But Gwyn can, Az! She is your mate! She can have your babies because her bones are pliant!!! Have babies with her!!!"
"Get out of our court, Elain! You don't belong here! Go with your mate! Shoo!"
"This gardener girl is fucking boring. That's why she doesn't have any friends, only the maids can stand her because it's their work. Not even her sisters like her. I hope she get the fuck away from here."
"Oh, Azriel is just being driven by lust. This will be over soon. It's nothing genuine, he only sees a pussy in Elain."
"Look, Elain, you whore! Azriel gave your solstice gift to Gwyn! The necklace is hers now! That night was a mistake! Now get on your knees and apologize to your mate for cheating on h-"
And with that, Azriel would blow their face off the universe and they would disappear into the quantum.
I just finished rewatching the Sleeping Beauty movie, and I noticed many things that made me think about Elriel.
Aurora lives in a secluded cottage with her fairies who work as maids for her protection, she sings and dances dreaming of love, she and Phillip fall in love surrounded by the forest gardens without knowing they are fated to marry each other, they plan together to meet up at night, the fairies forbid her to ever see Phillip again, Aurora grieves and is heartbroken because she thinks she is betrothed to other and could never see Phillip again, Maleficent takes advantage of Aurora's sadness and feelings for Phillip and causes her to be hypnotized, then she falls into the curse, Phillip is imprisoned by Maleficent, the fairies save Phillip, he fights her dragon form and kills her by plunging his Sword of Truth into her heart, and he breaks Aurora's curse by giving her the true love's kiss, and she is happy when she learns that her betrothed and her love are the same person.
Also Aurora dislikes reminds me of Elain: being treated like a child, arranged marriages, not seeing Phillip, feeling lonely.
But anyway.
I'm 100% sure Elain will have the Sleeping Beauty tale retelling in her book.
She has dawn and roses as her symbols. Aurora is the Roman goddess of dawn, and Disney's Sleeping Beauty princess. Briar Rose is the main character of the Sleeping Beauty tale, and 'Briar' is also the name of the girl who Azriel helped saving during Elain's rescue.
I have a strong thought that Elain once dreamed of Azriel before she met him. It makes sense because her power transcends time and could send dreams for her past human life. We all have dreams and somehow these dreams are connected to our lives, I can only imagine the dreams of a human who will be a seer in future.
Papa Archeron could have bargained Elain to Koschei, it would be her curse.
About the 'true love's kiss' and Elriel, Sarah made a lot of tension of their almost kiss. Their first kiss will probably cause fans who read the bonus to react like 'oooh, so this would have happened if they kissed that night'.
If something happened to Elain, only her true mate could feel what happened to her - cut to Az talking to Cassian about feeling it in his chest if something had happened to his mate like he has experience with mating bond; it could be the Hybern war rescue, or when he figured out Elain is a seer instead of her mate, we don't know yet. From what we've seen, Lucien doesn't seem to be this mate, since Elain can only feel something stuck in her spine, not her soul, and gets uncomfortable with him because he is a completely unknown person and soul to her.
I can see that Sarah has everything written for Elriel. Antis are literally blind.

Lucien is out there vibing with his bros dancing caramelldansen in other continent, meanwhile Azriel, being in the same place as Elain, is feeling sick almost throwing up, pining every night over a tiny headache potion with a cute little pink bow in his nightstand, having wet dreams, wanting to get on all fours, and almost killing his brothers by throwing rocks instead of snowballs
Who is the mate that is really going crazy here???
Azriel x Elain - One Shot | ACOTAR | Art by illustratedbymorgan
Word Count: 950 | M/E-Rated 🌶️
Summary: While attempting to maintain his composure in the kitchen, Azriel is driven to the brink of madness by Elain's deceptively innocent behavior, entirely consumed by the dark, filthy desires she unknowingly provokes.
The scent of vanilla and spun sugar in the river house’s kitchen was entirely innocent. Elain was entirely innocent.
Azriel, however, was currently burning alive in his own personal hell.
He sat at the long oak table, a whetstone in one hand, Truth-Teller in the other. He hadn't polished the blade in an hour. He couldn't. His shadows, usually so alert, so quick to whisper warnings of political unrest or enemy movements, were currently clustered near the hem of Elain’s dress, practically panting.
Vulgar, he thought, a dark wave of shame rippling through his chest. He was a spymaster. He was the shadowsinger. He should have been focusing on the intelligence reports piling up in his study.
Instead, he was completely, utterly down bad.
Elain hummed a soft, lilting Velaris tune, dusting a wooden cutting board with flour. She was wearing a new dress. She’d claimed Nuala and Cerridwen had tailored it for the upcoming summer solstice, but Azriel was convinced the half-wraiths were trying to murder him.
The bodice was modest enough, covering her collarbones, but the fabric was spun so tightly against her skin it was a sin. It hugged the sweet, sloping curve of her waist before flaring out over hips that looked agonizingly wider than they had last season. Every time she reached for a mixing bowl, the fabric stretched taut, accentuating the perfect, heavy roundness of her ass.
That magnificent ass. He’d spent centuries believing his preferences lay elsewhere, but Elain had effortlessly corrupted him, turning him into a male entirely enslaved by her backside.
Azriel’s throat went bone-dry. His knuckles turned white around the hilt of his dagger.
He imagined walking up behind her. He imagined his large, scarred hands gripping those deceptively wide hips, pulling her back against his groin until she could feel exactly what she was doing to him. He wanted to hook his fingers into that tight fabric, rip it down the center seam, and bury his face between those soft, pale cheeks. He wanted to mark her. He wanted to hear the sweet, breathless gasp she would make when he slid two fingers inside her, finding her already wet for him while the bread was still rising in the oven.
A drop of sweat rolled down his neck. Calm down, he told himself, the Illyrian beast inside him roaring at the restraint. She is a lady. She is sweet, and gentle, and not yours.
"Azriel?"
Her voice was like silk, cutting through the heavy haze of his depravity.
He forced his expression to remain a mask of cool, unbothered calm, though his wings twitched tight against his back. "Yes, Elain?"
She turned around, wiping a stray smudge of flour from her cheek, entirely unaware that she had just spent the last ten minutes driving a centuries-old warrior to the brink of madness. She looked up at him through her lashes, those big, brown doe eyes wide and full of absolute trust.
Gods above.
Azriel’s mind fractured. His eyes nearly rolled back into his head as a violent surge of lust hit him straight in the gut.
Those eyes. Those beautiful, innocent, wide eyes.
A filthy, dark image flashed in his mind, vivid enough to make his vision blur. He imagined her. He imagined his thick, aching cock sliding past her lips, stretching her mouth out as she swallowed him whole. He wanted to grip her soft golden-brown hair, his fingers tangling in the strands, to tilt her head back and look down into those exact same doe eyes while they watered from the sheer, unforgiving size of him. He wanted to see her blown-out gaze looking up at him, completely wrecked by his thickness, choking beautifully as he claimed her mouth, marking her throat with the rhythmic thrust of his hips until she was entirely marked by him. Until he was entirely done by her.
His cock throbbed painfully against the leather of his leathers, straining so hard it ached.
"Do you think Rhys and Feyre will like the blackberry tarts?" Elain asked softly, gesturing to the neat rows of pastry on the counter. "I used the honey from the night market.“
Azriel swallowed hard, his voice dropping an octave, thick and gravelly. "They will love them.“
"Are you alright?" She took a step closer, tilting her head. Her breasts, pushed up by the tight bodice, swelled temptingly. "You look a bit flushed. Is it too warm in here?“
"I'm fine," he choked out. If she came any closer, if he caught the scent of her arousal, he was going to lose his mind. He was going to throw her onto the floured table, push that tight dress up to her waist, and take her until they both forgot their own names.
"If you're sure," Elain smiled, a sweet, radiant thing that made him feel like the vilest creature in the Night Court for the thoughts running through his head. She turned back to her baking, her round ass shifting deliciously under the tight fabric as she reached for a dish towel.
Azriel gripped the edge of the table, letting the rough wood bite into his palms, praying for the mother to grant him strength. He was a patient man. He had waited centuries for many things.
But looking at Elain, he knew his restraint was ticking down to its final, agonizing seconds.
Then, just before she turned back to the cooling tarts, she glanced back over her shoulder, her sweet expression fracturing for a split second into a sharp, devastatingly wicked smile, and Azriel’s heart stopped as he caught Elain's smirk, the realization hitting him like a physical blow that she knew, oh hell, she knew.
