DAY 1: HEARTBEAT.

as a swiftie and elucien stan, this song immediately reminded me of them, the collapse of both their worlds, lucien’s fear of disappointing elain and do not wanting her to hate him.. and elain’s journey of healing and self-discovery. for heartbeat day, i made this edit with all my love, because i truly believe elucien will become one of ACOTAR’s most beautiful love stories and i’m so ready for themm <3

“When I sleep,” she murmured, “I can hear your heart beating through the stone.” She angled her head, as if the city view held some answer. “Can you hear mine?”

Day One - Heartbeat for @elucienweekofficial

According to all known laws of aviation, there is no way a bee should be able to fly. Its wings are too small to get its fat little body off the ground. The bee, of course, flies anyway, because bees don't care what humans think is impossible.

Happy day 1 of @elucienweekofficial !!

@the-lonelybarricade and I decided to work from unchosen prompts leftover from voting- so today is Day 1: Bee Movie AU. Don't pretend you don't just adore Luciens little bee-wings!

Soulmate is too soft a word for the string that tied my heart to yours.

@goghwilde , @miseryreads , & I wanted to kick things off with this beautiful artwork by @penpapernaiad. We absolutely love the way you drew them and showing the love and tenderness displayed by these characters.

I made this mini comic based on their first interaction in the House of Wind, where Elain tells Lucien that she can hear his heartbeat, but with some changes of my own. 😉💜

Absolutely no one

Chapter 7: Heather

Lucien, too tenderly, took the thick of her hair in his broad palm and brushed it over her shoulder. The movement was laggardly. Unhurried.

As if war itself couldn’t rush this experience for him.

He slipped the apron around her, tying it delicately at her neck first. His hands did not fumble now. They were too precise. Too attentive. Too holy in their purpose. When he moved to the lower ties, drawing them loosely over her waist, Elain’s heart began beating in overdrive.

Because after he had finished the knot there, Lucien’s hand shifted. Slowly, softly lingering on the supple curve of her hip.

She could feel his eyes boring into the pale expanse of her neck. She could feel the fragility of her breaths- and the deepness of his own.

“Lucien,” she whispered breathlessly.

“Elain,” he rasped back.

For Elucien Week 2026, I'm sharing a drabble a day to match each prompt. Historically, drabbles are 100-word stories, meant to challenge writers at brief, succinct story telling. Feel free to join me and share your elucien drabbles too!

Day 1: Heartbeat

Thump, thump, thump. 

Lucien set down his quill, ink smeared on his thumb. He uncurled his back and turned around, seeking out the sound. He placed a hand upon his sternum, trying to decipher if it was his own heart. 

Thump, thump, thump. 

He stood, walking around his Velaris apartment to test where the sound was loudest. He ended up at his front door, the heartbeat pounded from behind the wood, like an insistent knock. 

Thump, thump, thump.

He turned the knob, the hinges creaking as he revealed her, soaking wet and with a request glimmering in her brown eyes.

We’re so excited to see what you’ve all been working on, and to spend the week celebrating Elain and Lucien as a community!
