We Elriels and feysands have theories based on the quotes,story plotlines, scenes and interactions written inside the book and constantly reading and judging the patterns of writing of Sarah's book series!!!

Then there is another half of this fandom whose entire theories are based on what will sound spicy, inspired from another author's book, completely imaginary scenarios , having no canon moments in the original book and having no connection with the actual story plot, and mostly taken from fanfics.

Sleep had abandoned her weeks ago.

It circled just beyond reach, waiting until exhaustion dragged her under for an hour or two before another dream—or the absence of one—wrenched her awake.

Tonight was no different.

So Elain wandered.

Barefoot, wrapped in a thin robe against the cool night air, she slipped downstairs in search of tea. Silence. Anything that belonged only to her for a little while longer.

The entrance hall lay in darkness, moonlight spilling through the tall windows onto polished marble.

She was halfway across it when the front door opened.

A rush of cool air drifted inside.

Someone stepped over the threshold.

Broad shoulders.

Black leather.

A travel pack lowered to the floor.

Her heart lurched.

No…

Not again.

She closed her eyes.

For years, she’d caught glimpses of him everywhere.

A male with dark hair disappearing into a crowd.

Shadows stretching across a rooftop at dusk.

A familiar laugh carried on the wind before she remembered his laugh had always been too quiet to travel that far.

Her mind had become cruel in the years he’d been gone.

She counted a single breath.

Then another.

When she looked again…

He hadn’t vanished.

His shadows drifted over the marble floor.

Real.

Every impossible inch of him.

Her breath snagged somewhere beneath her ribs.

He stilled.

As though he’d heard it.

And looked up.

Time had not softened him.

It had made him dangerous.

Harder around the mouth. Broader through the shoulders. Dark stubble shadowed the face she’d spent years forcing herself not to remember. New scars traced skin she’d once imagined tracing herself.

Her pulse stumbled.

She should have felt anger.

Resentment.

Anything but this.

Instead, something long buried stirred painfully back to life.

Five years.

Five years of teaching herself not to look for him whenever a room fell quiet.

Five years of trading away tiny pieces of herself until she’d almost forgotten who she’d been before he left.

And one look was all it took for her to realise she’d only been pretending.

“Az?”

His expression didn’t change. But something dark flickered behind his hazel eyes.

His gaze drifted over her face as though committing it to memory.

Then lower.

To the diamond glinting against her left hand.

He looked at it for only a heartbeat.

When his eyes returned to hers, whatever she’d glimpsed had disappeared behind the same unreadable mask he’d always worn.

In ACOWAR, it seemed as though Elain had been trapped within her own mind,

Elain blinked and blinked, eyes clearing again. As if the understanding, our understanding … it freed her from whatever murky realm she’d been in.

Then, whilst she was sharing her vision about Vassa, Rhys asked if she knew about the other queens and their dealing with the “sourcer” to which Elain replies, that no. Thats all mist and shadow.

It seems like Elain can either access her visions by mentally entering this shadowy realm, some things aren’t clear to her (murky) whilst somethings are half-hidden, covered in shadows.

Wraiths are nothing but shadow and mist - who better to help Elain navigate this realm then the two beings made from the shadows who are able to enter anywhere?

I fully believe Nuala and Cerr will help Elain with her visions and exploring this murky realm she finds herself in, maybe this is why Elains been drawn to the twins, she feels connected to them in the way she is now connected to that realm, whatever it is.

I am so excited to learn more about Elains powers and how this trio naviagtes them.

Day 7: Free Day/AU

No one speaks up. She’s praised. Loved. Glazed.

And now, her true colors have finally come to light. You’ve been proven right all along but how dare you share that sentiment!

“Elriels are trying to get involved” nobody said anything until a post was found in our tag calling out the situation. After that, elriels started posting about how horrible this person has been, and yes, also calling out her friends and people who were more than okay with her toxic behavior towards elriels.

God forbid we talk about it in our own tags and have some doubt that her closest buddies she’d constantly be seen with had no idea at all whats been happening.

But you know what? A year back, people from their own side shaded her. They immediately saw how toxic she was. Breaching peoples privacy, backstabbing, spreading rumours etc. Did any of them speak up for their fellow stans? No. She got away with it.

She has always been a manipulative liar. Antis loved it because of how much sh*t she did to elriels. What they didn’t expect, was for her to turn around and be toxic to them. That is where their hurt is stemming from. Not the realisation she’s a bad person, but that she could be that way to them.

And there is something so poetic about that.

Yes elriels are going to talk about this because after months of her being able to get away with the stunts she’s pulled, she’s finally being held vaguely accountable. Elriels have been proven right once again. That is a cause for discussion especially when its being done in our own tags with ourselves.

𓇢𓆸 Her eyes were the brown of a fawn’s coat.

Cassian bonus having him meeting Emerie, talking to her, feeling bad for her past, flashing her a smile, wishing her a happy solstice and then leaving the shop.

Cassian throwing the solstice gift into the Sidra river like a furious warrior and some people thinking it was over for Nesta, and that that scene with Emerie meant something.

Azriel leaving the solstice gift in the library like a sad gentleman and some people thinking it was over for Elain, and that that scene with Gwyneth meant something.
