“And I realized that Elain was the person both Lucien AND I didn’t see coming — there was a great deal of tension, growth, and healing to be found for both of them (together).”

Thank you so much to imlouise_art for this lovely piece! It’s beyond beautiful. 💛

“I just wanted to be yours, can I be yours?”

I always enjoy a solid angst, especially when said angst is so tangible in the subtext. Elain and Lucien will get their happily ever after, blah blah — proper name place name backstory stuff (tell me something I don’t know), but I really wanted to touch on the tension and yearning written into their narrative. I eat it up every single time.

I won this stunningly AMAZING art piece in a giveaway and I cannot be more pleased with the end product! My phone background, printed out and put on my shelf, and first in my camera roll to just stare at during various moments throughout the day. The usual.

Here’s a snippet of Elain and Lucien running into each other outside the Night Court.

Cassian is dropping Elain off at the Day Court for an extended stay, but before he goes they’re taking a tour of Helion’s gardens. They run into a very special someone during their tour.

—

Oh gods. Oh gods. Her heart slammed against her chest as she took a double take.

What was he doing here at the Day Court?

Brilliant red hair, that unmistakeable hue of glowing embers, blazed in the afternoon sun. Sunlight refracted around his bowed head, beams flaring into a golden halo. Even as her stomach squirmed unpleasantly at the sight of him, she couldn’t help but admire how he seemed forged from the sun itself, red and gold and burning down the bond to her very core.

He was nestled on a bench with a thick tome propped on a knee, intently reading. No hint that the bond was pulling so taut it felt like it was about to rip his ribs from his chest like it was for her. No sign he knew she was close or could feel the bond between them blaze.

Cassian was about to turn towards the path leading to Lucien, making Elain’s heart skip a beat.

“Helion mentioned there is an orangerie on the level above,” Elain stammered, gesturing away from Lucien and towards the marble flight of stairs. To her relief, Cassian followed her gaze. She shuffled a step to hide them thoroughly behind a flowering shrub. She hoped he couldn’t hear her traitorous hammering heart. “Do you want to take a look?”

“Maybe,” Cassian said. “Didn’t you say you wanted to see the water gardens first though? They’re this way.”

Cassian turned to continue walking down the path. Right towards Lucien.

“No really, I—“

But the harm was done. Red caught on sunlight in clear view of Cassian, and he roared with surprise and delight.

“Fireling!” Cassian called, leaving Elain to send a prayer to the Mother before following him to Lucien.

That’s it! What should happen next?

Give it up for Day Five, everybody!!

Another prompt, another poem.

I tried for a sonnet, but iambic pentameter kicked my ass, so it's another acrostic 😅

I’m eternally grateful to ginnystellart for this commission! The colors, the lighting, Elain’s expression, Lucien lifting her towards the sunshine she needs — it’s perfect!

One of my favourite ever drawings of these three, and @simplysimple-blep encouraged me to share it 💫

@elucienweekofficial Day 5: Sunlight

Whenever there's a sunlight related prompt to Elain, Lucien, or Elucien, I'll be there! I love all the imagery associated with these two and sunlight - particularly Elain. In her earliest days of being fae, when she was lost in her grief and visions, it was sunlight she craved. I wanted to (attempt to) capture the peace and healing I think sunlight and nature will bring to these two. This was a lot more detailed than I normally do and I'm not really satisfied with it, but sometimes a posted "close enough" is better than a not posted "almost perfect."
