🪉 bad liar

A slow-burn, regency reimagining of Prythian, written for @elucienweekofficial 2026 • Day 4: Arranged Marriage

chapter 8: paint my kiss across your chest

After two years out of society, Elain Archeron is determined to find a husband.

When she meets Viscount Graysen Nolan, she falls head over heels, and with his proposal all but guaranteed, everything feels as though it’s falling right into place.

Until it falls apart.

Facing ruin or a life on the shelf, an out-of-the-blue offer of marriage from Prince Lucien Vanserra, Duke of Glenacre, turns her world upside down.

Now married to a man she barely knows while nursing her heartbreak over the one she’d planned her life with, Elain must contend with lust, lies, and longing to find the one thing she’s wanted all along: love.

Hi!! Out of all the pieces you've created for past elucien weeks, would you tell us which one was your favorite to work on? 👀

Hi LB!!

Out of all of them, I think this was my favorite, but also one of my most challenging ones! I had never really done a stained glass piece, nor did I know how to really achieve that look. It took several days and a ton of references, but it was also very relaxing and methodical in its own way. I had fun trying to blend spring and fall colors and themes between them. I hope maybe next Elucien week I can attempt something like this again and see if I can do better!

The fire is slowly dying and Elain is shivering from the cold. She wakes Lucien up to tend the fire.

He stares at her, bleary-eyed, as she begins with “I’m cold” before he moves all the pillows, just pulls her in and wraps his arms around her.

We are so back!

After nearly a year, @moonpatroclus @cauldronblssd and I decided to revisit our bat boy series. We had free reign with this one and we thought, “What better way to finish the series than with a lovely view of Azriel’s back muscles?”

Thank you again to the.angel.incarnate for bringing our vision to life! They took our request for “slutty back” and made this masterpiece. So happy we could finish out our series with them <3

Happy Elucien Week everyone!

This is actually a repost of my very first Elucien commission from all the way back in Feb 2022 and it remains one of my favourite to this date, particularly because of the quote it is inspired by. It’s one of my favourite Elucien quotes and I love that it comes directly from Elain herself.

There is something so tender yet so unbelievably vulnerable, to ask someone, “Can you hear my heart too?” and I am so looking forward to the moment where Lucien hears her too. (my head canon is that he currently can’t because the last time he’d heard someone’s heart beating, it was Jesminda’s stopping)

With this prompt and Elucien living 24/7, rent free in my mind, I had to reshare this piece with you all!
