🌙 @elainarcheronweek | Prompt: Nightshade’s Kiss 🌙

Elain Archeron, the gentle dreamer, the gardener, the one everyone overlooked was the one who ended the King of Hybern.

With her sister on the ground, about to be struck down, Elain chose. She dealt the killing blow. Swift. Precise. Final.

That was Elain’s nightshade’s kiss the hidden poison no one expected, the quiet, beautiful strength that bloomed at the exact moment it was needed most.

☠️🌹 Soft hands can still wield sharp blades.

✨ Thank you @tomandosal for capturing this defining moment in Elain’s journey so perfectly.

The idea behind this beautiful piece was for it to be a portrait of Elain and Azriel that’s hung up in their home 💕

There are also 2 other variations to this that I’ll be posting as part of a reel for Elriel Month 🫶🏼 this wasn’t supposed to be posted until then either, but it had already been 3 months since this was finished and I couldn’t wait another 2 🙈

Thank you so much Leticia for making this gorgeous piece! You immediately clicked and knew what I was trying to explain in my crazy way. More beautiful then I could’ve imagined 🥰

I’m back with more Elriel, (because there can never be enough of them!) this time by the wonderful and sweet @isis_villalobos_art! Such a joy and absolute pleasure to work with, and create such a beautiful and amazing piece! Here we have Elain and Azriel spending quality time together, which we know is their love language. One thing I love about them is how obvious their attraction and pull towards each other is, despite the circumstances that are trying to keep them apart. They found a sweet spot by a waterfall to take everything in and let the world around them stop so they can just be with each other. I hope yall love this one as much as I do!

🌌✨ A Night in Velaris ✨🌌

Beneath the starlit skies of Velaris, the City of Starlight, the bonds of love, friendship, and family shine brighter than ever.

Rhysand and Azriel face off in an intense game of chess, their sharp minds locked in friendly rivalry. Feyre and Cassian banter with each other, their vibrant energy lighting up the space. Nesta, ever the stoic yet radiant force, enjoys the solace of her book, while Elain softly chats with Azriel—her words laced with love, perhaps even slyly revealing Rhysand’s next move.

This is Velaris at its core: a tapestry of connection, laughter, and quiet moments that make this family of warriors, dreamers, and lovers whole.

Three brothers, three sisters—each uniquely whole, yet stronger together.

A huge thank you to pinkykei.art for bringing this stunning moment to life. Your talent has perfectly captured the magic and love of the Inner Circle, and we’re forever grateful for this masterpiece! 💜

they’re beautiful. 🥹🌸

this piece is a depiction of what might have happened when Azriel asked Elain, “would you like me to show you the garden?” i have forever adored tpiola_’s Elriel piece commissioned by emilysbookishtales, and so for my first official Elriel commission i commissioned tpiola_ as well. every part of this artwork is flawless, and tpiola_ absolutely nailed their expressions: Az looking down at Elain like she hung the moon and Elain gazing happily at her garden, both of them just enjoying spending a quiet moment together.

“So Elain silently cried, the tears so unending that I wondered if it was some sign of her heart bleeding out. Some sliver of hope that had shattered today. That Graysen would still love her, still marry her—𝓪𝓷𝓭 𝓽𝓱𝓪𝓽 𝓵𝓸𝓿𝓮 𝔀𝓸𝓾𝓵𝓭 𝓽𝓻𝓾𝓶𝓹 𝓮𝓿𝓮𝓷 𝓪 𝓶𝓪𝓽𝓲𝓷𝓰 𝓫𝓸𝓷𝓭.”

After Graysen cruelly rejected Elain, some of her hope shattered - including her hope that their love could trump even a mating bond. I think we could see this hope restored in Elain as she continues to explore her blossoming connection with Azriel.

Since their first meeting in ACOMAF, I have loved seeing the natural and effortless connection between Elain and Azriel grow. Elain looks to him for comfort, shares her passion with him, and picks him out gifts that show she sees him. In return, Azriel understands Elain in a way no one else does and shows how much he cares about her through his actions. I’d love to see their connection prove that love is strong enough to trump a mating bond and for Elain to get the great love story she deserves with a male of her own choosing.

I imagine Elain and Azriel’s story being full of angst, longing, and romance and I wanted to portray that feeling with this piece. Gracerstudios is so incredibly talented and did a phenomenal job bringing my vision to life! Thank you again for being such a pleasure to work with 💙

Elain had always been gentle and sweet—and I had considered it a different sort of strength. A better strength. To look at the hardness of the world and choose, over and over, to love, to be kind.

Elain stabbed the king of Hybern despite despising violence to protect her sister. Her strength isn't because of acts of violence but because of her choosing love and kindness time and time again! 🩷🌸

Art by the very talented gracerstudios and commissioned by me. I loved working with you and adore your portrayal of Elain 💖

Elain has shown her strength many times throughout the series, whether through surviving the Cauldron, seeing the good and finding the beauty in dark times, or protecting those she cares about by kicking hounds in the face or stabbing a king through the neck. I think one of the biggest ways we’ll see Elain show her strength in her book is by standing up for herself and her right to choose. In ACOSF, we saw a glimpse of this when Elain stood up to Nesta after she forbid Elain from going near the Cauldron. I’d love to see Elain defy those orders and explore her powers, proving how capable she is to all of those around her.

We also saw Elain stand up against the concept of mating bonds in ACOWAR when she declared she belongs to no one. I think this could lead to Elain defying fate in her book as she decides who she wants to spend her life with. Elain grabbing the thread of her mating bond in this piece represents that choice. Standing up against society’s expectations and following her heart would be an amazing display of strength for a woman groomed to be nothing more than a pretty face to be married off as an advantageous match for her family. Whatever she decides, I’m so excited to see Elain stand up for what she wants and show that only she knows what’s best for herself.
