@elainarcheronweek Day 4- Home🩷

“Home is wherever I’m with you”

When I think of home for Elain, it’s clear that her home is with her people- her sisters, nephew, BILs, friends, and Az.

From Az and Elain’s very first meeting, it was clear there was a connection, a comfort. After just a few minutes, Elain was looking to Az for an understanding of the situation and already felt comfortable enough to take her cues from him.

Since that moment, it’s become more and more clear that Az has already become a big part of what makes up Elain’s idea of home. From releasing her from her murky realm, to saving her, to seeking out her company, they both find peace in each other’s presence. Elain never shies away from Az, or shrinks into herself when he’s around.

I wanted a piece of art that represented one of my favorite moments of Az and Elain. It may not seem like much to some, but to me, them quietly spending time together, doing mundane things, is truly what home is. When someone is your home, there’s no pressure to entertain, no pressure to host, no pressure to extend your social battery. Home, while bold and beautiful, can also be quiet and intimate. And it’s exactly why Az and Elain are perfect for one another and I cannot wait to see them continue to find home in one another in the next ACOTAR book.

A huge thank you to @elainemg97 for creating such a beautiful piece for me!! It’s stunning and perfectly captures this moment from ACOWAR 💕

One of my favorite recurring moments in the ACOTAR series is how tuned Feyre is into Elain and Azriel. Whether it’s painting a scene of them in her mind or recognizing how well they complement each other, she continously wonders about them, and I can't help but do the same.  

In Silver Flames we have Nesta catching onto how Azriel is feeling towards Elain. Yet another sister connects the two...perhaps leading us to do the same.

It all begs the question that fascinates me most: Do we follow an arguably unwelcome expectant fate, or do we dare defy it?

It’s the quiet, intimate moments with Elriel that always hit hardest for me, so for today, here’s another one 🥹

We know Azriel can be self-conscious about his scarred hands, so for today I wanted to imagine him initiating a soft caress with those very hands, and Elain not balking one bit, happy to feel his touch. 💙🩷

This is my last commission for this year’s Elriel Month and I personally think it is a very special one! I love a good modern Elriel AU and I love how cute this one is! Our grumpy bat boy likes to pretend he doesn’t want his photo taken, but he’ll happily allow it when his Elain is the photographer. 💙🩷

Azriel smiled faintly. “Would you like me to show you the garden?” She seemed so small before him, so fragile compared to the scales of his fighting leathers, the breadth of his shoulders. The wings peeking over them. But Elain did not balk from him, did not shy away as she nodded—just once.

Azriel, graceful as any courtier, offered her an arm. I couldn’t tell if she was looking at his blue Siphon or at his scarred skin beneath as she breathed, “Beautiful.” Color bloomed high on Azriel’s golden-brown cheeks, but he inclined his head in thanks and led my sister toward the back doors into the garden, sunlight bathing them.

Happy Elriel month everyone! We are finally getting more Elain and Az content this year 🥹 I'm anticipating a lot of yearning and angst between these two in book 6 so I wanted this commission to capture that feeling. In this piece, Elain and Az can't help but reach for each other as they pass in a corridor. Between their charged glances, words left unspoken, and brushing of hands - they are the ultimate yearners and I'm so excited to see where their story goes 💙🩷

Huge thanks to rockieartt for creating this for me! You capture Elriel so beautifully every time.

For @elriel-month day 2 - Rescue

"𝘈𝘻𝘳𝘪𝘦𝘭 𝘰𝘯𝘭𝘺 𝘳𝘦𝘱𝘦𝘢𝘵𝘦𝘥, 𝘳𝘢𝘨𝘦 𝘨𝘭𝘢𝘻𝘪𝘯𝘨 𝘵𝘩𝘢𝘵 𝘴𝘵𝘢𝘳𝘦,

♥ "‘𝘐’𝘮 𝘨𝘦𝘵𝘵𝘪𝘯𝘨 𝘩𝘦𝘳 𝘣𝘢𝘤𝘬.’ ♥”

This line came from an iconic scene in A Court of Wings and Ruin, where Azriel decided to go on a suicide mission, accompanied by Feyre, to rescue Elain from the Hybern camp. In this scene however, the roles are reversed. Koschei, wanted Azriel for something, judging by this quote from a Court of Silver Flames:

"𝐈 𝐬𝐩𝐞𝐧𝐭 𝐬𝐨 𝐦𝐚𝐧𝐲 𝐦𝐨𝐧𝐭𝐡𝐬 𝐩𝐫𝐞𝐩𝐚𝐫𝐢𝐧𝐠 𝐟𝐨𝐫 𝐲𝐨𝐮... 𝐚𝐧𝐝 𝐲𝐨𝐮 𝐝𝐨𝐧'𝐭 𝐞𝐯𝐞𝐧 𝐰𝐢𝐬𝐡 𝐭𝐨 𝐬𝐩𝐞𝐚𝐤 𝐭𝐨 𝐦𝐞?"

So when Azriel is lured to Koschei's lake and captured, Elain says:

"𝙄'𝙢 𝙜𝙚𝙩𝙩𝙞𝙣𝙜 𝙝𝙞𝙢 𝙗𝙖𝙘𝙠!"

Using her Seer and scrying powers, Elain helps locate him, and as they are getting ready to remove the magic-dampening chains, Koschei appears. Elain wields TruthTeller, activating it, fully releasing it's powers and destroying Koschei.

🌸Why Elain Archeron is NOT a Passive Character Pt 1🌸 (ACOTAR SPOILERS)

And thinking about it more, that kind of direction would actually make a lot of sense. Elain has always been associated with growth, gardens, and renewal, but also with perception and deeper awareness. If Nesta represents death and raw destructive power, Elain could represent the opposite — quiet creation, balance, and restoration.

(like… “i think the world needs more gardens”????)

It would also fit really well with the broader themes SJM seems to be building, especially the idea that not all power is loud or violent. Elain’s strength might be something more subtle but just as important — something tied to life itself, not just seeing the future but shaping it.
