🍂All Hail Lucien Vandaddy🍂

Nesta’s greatest adventure was forged through fire, control, and choice.

It was never about where she went but who she chose to become after her darkest days. A warrior.

@elucienweekofficial Scars 🍃

I have been DYING to commission this scene from ACOWAR!

Lucia did an INCREDIBLE job drawing this scene! Literally rereading that chapter, Lucia got everything. Elain laying flowers on their father’s body, the sisters watching as he’s cremated, Lucien panting and out of breath from running to check on Elain, Nesta whirling back thinking someone was about to attack them, King Hybern’s decapitated head.

AND Elain’s adorable little smile when Lucien’s tells her that he’s okay has me screaming on my knees!!

Lucia, thank you for taking this commission!! You truly made this scene come to life, and it looks INCREDIBLE 💛

& Thank you for all your kindness during this commission! I always love working with you! It’s a joy to see you create these scenes from the book!

Oh how quickly @elucienweekforever ends...and yet the friends we made along the way, well, I'd call the real ✨magic✨ of elucienweek.

Did I do a good job working in the whole friendship is magic thing? Of course I did, I'm brilliant AND hilarious. For day 7, I decided to be literal with the friendship theme of this year and commission Elain and Lucien as My Little Ponys. You can slide over to see the individual character designs! The artist, Ian_Mo, taught me so much about MLPs and gave me one of the best commissioning experiences ever. They requested we share their commission link- please check them out! Vgen.com/Ian_mo

From the bottom of my and @the-lonelybarricade heart, thank you to everyone who participated this year! Your friendship IS magic, and we can't wait to see you all next year

day 7 | revival what if we managed to land on the sun without having to eject the cockpit and fucked so nasty about it

Day six was always Sold To One Direction to me and @the-lonelybarricade

When we bought this idea to @luciensdefenseattorney , she didn't hesitate at all- we agreed Elain HAD to be Harry Styles and obviously Lucien would be y/n thanks to his very put-in-a-bunable hair. Forever greatful to Ce for being such a wonderful friend but also for having the same sense of humor as me. No idea has ever been too absurd and ily :)

Elucienweek Day 5 Sunshine

@elucienweekofficial

I still think about that whole paragraph in SF where Cassian describes how Nesta and Feyre look as if they own and command the night with their clothes in Nightcourt black, but Elain, no matter how much she claimed to be a part of that court, it sucked the life from her. Black drained her of color, the girl who craves sunlight, who is constantly turning towards the sun and chasing away shadows.

Who would have thought the mother gave her a mate filled with sunshine, filled with warmth. Elain has been in the shadow of others for so long, but with Lucien she has the perfect chance to step into her light.

The placing of this lighting is purposeful. Lucien, who has a light within him, has been cast in darkness through all the things he's been through and carried. His own light behind him, but still reaching out to Elain.

HI I'M LATE BUT I MADE A THING for @elucienweekofficial Supposed to be for day 3 : peak yearning I know the scar is on the wrong side, the image was initially reversed, but it works better this waaayyyy sooo let's pretend everything is normal 😬

@elucienweekofficial

Lucien and Elain fit the arranged marriage trope so perfectly! Even though they're so conflicted with how they're feeling, they cannot deny the constant pull they have for one another. I love the idea that Elain and Lucien would have a ceremony that mixes fae and human traditions, or have a human wedding and Fae mating bond ceremony!

I also imagine Elain and Lucien acting like they've accepted their bond to try and put up a unified front, only for that tension between them to build when they are 'putting on a show', blurring the lines of what's real and what is an act.
