Elain does not lose her agency if she chooses to be with Lucien. Elain does not lose her autonomy if she chooses to be with Lucien.

Happy happy birthday to my bestie @zenkindoflove ♥︎ To help everyone celebrate, I have put together the ultimate Zenkindoflove Fanfiction Guide depending on your mood. Having written 29 (!!!) SJM fics, these are just a few of my favorites!

♥︎ Kick Your Feet Cuz It's Cute & Sexy → Shackled An enchanted pair of handcuffs. A prank gone wrong. A bottle of whiskey. This was turning out to be the most awkward Winter Solstice for Elain and Lucien yet.

♥︎ Horny & Hot Action → Kneel Before Me Lucien arrives at the House of Wind, only to be drawn into a sparring match with none other than the Inner Circle's own Shadowsinger. Things get out of hand and Azriel discovers whether he really can defeat Lucien easily.

♥︎ Fluff, Angst & Smut Cocktail → Pull Me In Deeper Needing more alliances, Eris strikes a deal with Helion: go to the continent and find out information for him, and Day Court will support him usurping Beron. What he didn’t account for is the beautiful Day Court emissary accompanying him that makes his heart race while being such a thorn in his side.

♥︎ Murder Mystery With Witches → Carrion Flowers AU - Detective Lucien Vanserra has been sent to Sunset Hollow to solve a grisly murder. Cunning and skeptical, he is determined to not allow superstition and hearsay divert him from the truth. However, the town is whispering of witches, and one suspected witch by the name of Elain Archeron haunts his dreams and his heart.

♥︎ When You Crave The Ultimate Sexual Tension → She Burns Haunted by visions and dreams, Elain can't escape the pull of her mate. In her grief and loneliness, the cauldron's cold waters still permeate her bones. There is one source of heat she knows could warm her, but she continues to deny herself and him.

♥︎ Come For Elucien, Fall For Erixius → Summer Heat Summer Court is hosting the Summer Solstice Summit and the Night Court is sending their best emissaries to attend. It will be Elain's first time mingling in another court, and it's a good thing she has an expert guiding her: the mate she's been ignoring for the last two years. Meanwhile, Eris has been sent to the summit to spy on Summer's developments. What he doesn't anticipate is entangling in a steamy, forbidden romance.

♥︎ Sexy Shower Smut → The Art of Seducing Your Merman Husband When Sathia realizes that Tharion is purposely ignoring all of her attempts at seduction, she decides on Valentine's Day that the only way to finally get her husband in her bed is to make a gesture so obvious, that even a merman with one brain cell would figure it out.

♥︎ You Love Crazykindoflove → Dear Lucien, Dear Elain Epistolary (adj., of a literary work) in the form of letters. After the winter solstice in ACOSF, Elain and Lucien exchange letters as a means to get to know each other away from prying eyes. This fic is a collection of those letters.

“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.

Fire Burn and Cauldron Bubble: Chapter 10 + Epilogue (and im free)

Read on ao3 ˗ˏˋ ´ˎ˗ Start at the beginning

Fic rating: Explicit

Fic summary: Five years ago, Lucien left the love of his life inexplicably with barely a goodbye.

Now, his job has seemingly brought him back to his hometown of Salem, Massachusetts—where Elain still lives—just in time for Halloween.

Will they be able to exorcise the demons of their past? Or will they be doomed to walk the haunted halls of each other’s memories forever?

Chapter summary: I don’t want to give too much away this cha—ELAIN WITH A KNIFE 🗣️

Lil note: This fic has nearly killed me lmao. I’ve been quietly rewriting it over the last month (real g’s move in silence like lasagna 😔🙏) because I went to reread it and it was Bad. So anyway I feel like it’s better now but mostly I just need to be done 😂

This was a REALLY hard ask. I had to spend a little time going through some of my favorite pieces. And the one I’m coming back to is a love confession (Lucien to Elain) from this short oneshot perfect strangers

+++

“You make me feel like a wreck. I am nervous around you. Foolishly, unquestionably nervous. Words fail me. I think your mere presence alone makes me forget my own name. And those eyes—”

“So kind. So beautiful.” He whispered.

and also this part because I just couldn’t decide:

“You make me fear the impossible,” Lucien told her.

“And what is that?”

“That we could be very, very happy together.”

Energy runs high as the warmest time of the Year slowly comes to pass. This is a celebration which begins with the rise of the Sun. Time has come again for the longest day of the year. The night is short and forgiving. As the sun shines at its peak and the emotions run high, it becomes apparent that Midsummer is a celebration of fertility and love. Fairies of Autumn may venture into the plentiful forests of the Court in search of the legendary blooming ferns. Those elusive flowers are rumored to appear only for a single night of the Year, and it is now upon us. This is the time for fairies young and old to let loose the inhibitions and struggles of their existence and choose instead to surrender themselves to the depths of magic which surrounds the Court.

“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. 💛

Lucien on the run, abandoning his home, and asking Feyre to tell him about Elain. Lucien willing to accept that Elain has a lover, despite the agony that it would bring him. Lucien finding Elain to be the most beautiful female he has ever seen in her current state, while others describe her to be sickly. Lucien gripping his teacup to keep from shuddering from Elain saying his name for the first time. Lucien being the one to tell everyone to take Elain outside, to take her to the sea.

Lucien traveling across the world on a whim from Elain’s visions, trusting her solely. Lucien fighting in a war and, upon completion, took off running across the shore to make certain that Elain was alright. Lucien being the only character to credit Elain personally for her assist with the King of Hybern. Lucien keeping his distance, despite how much it pains him to do so, in order to allow Elain that comfort. Lucien longing for Elain, for the bond to be accepted. Lucien offering Elain two perfect Solstice gifts, one that he learned of as a side thought and remembered months later.

One of my closest friends @freyjas-musings surprised me with this GORGEOUS Elucien birthday gift today! Thank you so much @freyjas-musings for this beautiful gift. I’m so thankful that we met all those years ago and became friends. You’ve been one of the few people to help keep me sane in this crazy fandom! I love you bunches 🩷🩷 thank you for all your love and support 🩷🩷

And thank you so much @brielyasmin for creating this beautiful artwork. Elain and Lucien look STUNNING 🥹🥹 your artwork always blows me away with its beauty!!

I LOVE it when artists depict a very clear dynamic between lovers, so much so that I could literally ship that couple without even knowing them. I hope I’ve managed to draw enough of the kind of dynamic I envision for Elucien. It’s not the full scope of what I imagine them to be like, but certainly a chunk of it!

And also… I heard that the people who voice Elain and Lucien both ship Elucien. If that’s true, I‘m gonna scream. You know how the voice actor of Zuko made a fan audio in which Zuko confesses his love for Katara? I need something like this for Elucien 😭

Like knock him on his arrogant ass punch to the face!!!!!

The Fox and the fawn, commissioned by: @amandapearls @foreverinelysian @areyoudreaminof @acourtdelaluna 🌸

rhysand: shower sex. as soon as you start walking towards the restroom, he’s taking his clothes off. made sure the house he bought had glass doors in the shower so he can watch you, stroking his cock slowly as you wash, until he can’t hold it anymore and he joins you. licks water of every inch of your skin. fucks you so good and so dirty you have to shower again after.

cassian: switching positions over and over. he just can’t decide how he wants you— he wants to see your tits but he also wants to see your ass. fucks you hard from behind and then flips you on your back because he misses your bites on his neck. you’ve come two times already but he’s still changing positions. stops his own orgasm multiple times because he just can’t get enough. switches over and over until he can’t take it anymore and then he comes so hard he’s shaking.

azriel: riding. that’s it, that’s the scoop. he loves watching you use his cock to fuck yourself. he loves watching your tits bounce, loves the way your nails dig into his shoulders as you ride him. he likes it fast, he likes it slow, he likes it angry, he likes it drunk in love. licks and kisses and bites your neck, marking you as his. grabs your ass while you bounce on his cock, but doesn’t interfere with your movements or your pace— we wants you to use him. always coming up with new places to fuck, but the couch never gets old.

lucien: talks so much during sex— like holy hell this man can talk. sexy talk, soft talk, filthy talk, gentle talk, angry talk, playful talk, serious talk. he’s pounding into you, lips pressed to your ear, murmuring nonsense. you take me so well, baby. come all over my cock, make a mess on me. fuck look at my wife, coming all over my hand for me. i’m going to fill this tight little pussy up, fuck you so good you’ll have my baby (oops did he mean to say that?). you taste so fucking good baby, almost as good as you feel riding my tongue like that.

eris: heavy flirting all day— fucking as soon as he gets home. sends you dirty, filthy text messages all day while he’s at work. How’s my baby doing, still sore from last night? thinking about the way you sucked my cock this morning. i’ll be home in 10 minutes you better be naked and wet for me or i’ll have to punish you. looking at the picture i took of your tits yesterday as you rode my cock— fuck me. we’re doing that again as soon as I get home. drives all the way home to eat your pussy and fuck you on his lunch break— no thanks, i’m going home for lunch when someone invites him to lunch because he’d rather have you.
