I Don’t Even Know Anymore

“Azriel’s fingers lingered at her nape, atop the first knob of her spine. Slowly, Elain pivoted at his touch. Until his palm lay flat against her neck. It had never gone this far. They’d exchanged looks, the occasional brush of their fingers, but never this. Never blatant, unrestricted touching. Wrong—it was so wrong. He didn’t care.”

Whenever Elain said in SF that her favorite dance was the waltz, I couldn’t stop thinking about the idea of her and Azriel sharing one! I think it’s such a sweet idea, the closeness and intimacy to each other would be so romantic and swoon-worthy! I couldn’t be more in love with this art from @azeher_may who created such a beautiful and romantic piece, and did such a beautiful job bringing my ideas to life!

For this piece, I imagined Azriel as a merman living in a pond in Elain’s garden, observing the beautiful gardener from afar and falling in love with her secret, lovely beauty. Elain eventually discovers him after he’s been observing her for some time and is just as smitten with him despite the challenges they would face. I loved the idea of a different kind of twist on forbidden love for MerMay/Elriel Month and Andi knew exactly how to capture what I had been envisioning 🌸

Thank you @jpeg.andie for always being so wonderful to work with!! This was such a fun piece to collaborate with you on, it came together so beautifully, and you blew me away with all of the exquisite details!! 🥰

And thank you so much to the hosts of @elrielmonth for facilitating another beautiful event despite the challenges thrown your way this year! 💕

Elain, sinking into the depths of the cauldron. Filled with fear, and confusion, uncertain what her future holds now. But even once she emerges, her body and mind irrevocably changed, she never truly leaves, sunk into those murky depths. Not until him. Not until he saw her, understood her, in a way nobody ever has. It wasn’t the sunlight or fresh air that brought her back to the surface, but Azriel’s gentle acceptance and understanding, a subtle but profound sign of the true match between their souls.

Thank you endlessly to @esvvel for creating this masterpiece for us, I can feel the angst and turmoil through the screen! Your pieces never fail to evoke so much emotion from me and this is no exception 💜

Elriel Month | Peace and Quiet

There is such tenderness, intimacy, and safety when you can understand the person you love without words. For this prompt we imagined the relief that Azriel and Elain would feel as they fall into bed together at the end of the day after enjoying the extroverted company of the inner circle, so they can cling to each other for peace and quiet just like our High Lady foretold.

We were all so excited to get the opportunity to work with @kotikomori on this piece and she truly gave us a little peek into a slice of Elriel heaven!! We are so grateful @kotikomori! 💕💕

I’m hoping to get many soft and intimate moments between Elain and Azriel in their book and in this commission, I wanted portray the moment Elain spends the night in Azriel’s bed for the first time. After spending months staring at Elain’s gift with longing throughout the night, Azriel is finally able to worship Elain in his bed till sunrise. They are each other’s soft place to land and in each other’s arm, they’re truly at peace.

I have been obsessed with Elizabeth’s work for years now and I’m so grateful I got the chance to work with her! She is so incredibly talented and truly delivered a masterpiece 🥹 Thank you so much for creating this for me!

Elriel Month 2025 🌸 Prompt: Peace & Quiet

This was such a wonderful commission, and I am so grateful to my co-commissioners for helping me make this happen—and to @tpiola_ (IG) for working on this with us! We had a hard time finding a good reference at first, and she was so kind and helpful in translating a verbal description to this gorgeous art! Thank you a million times over!

We really wanted to capture the comfortability Elain and Azriel have always had, even from their first meeting. I’ve always thought that both Elain and Az would be great huggers, so what better to commission for the @elrielmonth Peace & Quiet prompt than the two of them in an adorable embrace. 🥰 The soft purple-pink dusk setting is so perfect for Elriel, and I’m honestly never recovering from how adorable they are in this art!

“And I think Elain—Elain would like it, too. Though she’d probably cling to Azriel, just to have some peace and quiet.” I smiled at the thought—at how handsome they would be together.” — A Court of Mist and Fury

“Elain sat silently at one of the wrought-iron tables, a cup of tea before her. Azriel was sprawled on the chaise longue across the gray stones, sunning his wings and reading what looked to be a stack of reports.” — A Court of Wings and Ruin

“Azriel and Elain remained in the sitting room, my sister showing him the plans she’d sketched to expand the garden in the back of the town house.” — A Court of Frost and Starlight

Fairytales | @elriel-month

In The Snow Queen, it is Gerda, kind-hearted, brave, and unwavering, who journeys north to save Kai.

Not with weapons.

Not with force.

But with love that refuses to be forgotten.

It’s hard not to see Elain and Azriel in them.

Elain, the light who would walk through ice and snow to bring him back.

Vallahan lies in the cold, distant north. And there’s foreshadowing, so much of it, telling us we may end up there soon.

Maybe that’s where their story will finally bloom.

Because in this fairytale, Elain gets to be the one who saves him.

And Azriel is just waiting for someone who sees him clearly… and still accepts him for who he is not what he is.

Feel free to read more about the theory.

As well from @womanexile post

Thank you so much to the gifted @evaroseart for this beautifully imagined piece. It’s pure fairytale magic, and your storytelling through art never fails to leave me in awe. ✨

✨As Azriel and Elain walk through an enchanted forest together, alone and at peace in the quiet sunshine, she looks up at him. She watches his great wings glittering under the sunlight and the way the green and gold in his eyes seem to glow. She thinks he is the most beautiful male she's ever seen, and she can't help but to pull him down into a kiss.✨

I have been keeping this close to my chest for so long and am so excited to finally be able to share it. I stare at it every day (it's my lock screen 😭) and I am so so thankful to lumachaii for bringing this idea to life with her skill and creativity. I told her I wanted Elain pulling Azriel down for a kiss in an enchanted forest, and she delivered THIS jaw-dropping work of art, inspired by Barbie Swan Lake.

I am so in awe and in love.

Free Will & True Love | @elriel-month

Azriel would defy the Cauldron for her.

There is no mating bond tying them together.

Only the quiet rebellion of two souls who found each other and chose to stay.

Their love is not written in stars.

And it was born in the hush of stolen moments, he would even turn day into night just to have a second more with her.

Because some love stories aren’t dictated by destiny.

Some are written by free will and still feel fated all the same.

Forever grateful to @somethingdeviant for capturing this devotion so exquisitely. Your art makes this love feel real. ❤️

Star-Crossed | @elriel-month

They shouldn’t look.

They shouldn’t touch.

But the space between them hums with everything they don’t say, every stolen glance, every brush of skin that lingers just a second too long.

Even with her mate nearby, it’s impossible to ignore it: the gravity between them. The unspoken knowing. The temptation of something they’re not allowed to want.

Rhysand’s order be damned.

Because some things can’t be ruled or reasoned away, not tension, not fire.

They are THE forbidden romance. The love story buried in shadows.

The kind of connection that exists between the silences, just shy of a confession.

Thank you to the incredible @thesleepingfoxy for capturing this tension, that pull, that ache, so exquisitely.

A piece inspired by the movie Bright Star. This AU fits Elriel because their connection feels quiet, tender, and full of longing. Also, I’ve always loved the idea of Elain and Azriel sending each other secret love notes 💌

@elrielmonth 2025 Death & the Maiden

By the wonderfully talented rezle_ on Instagram!

Find the art here! 🌸🦇

@elriel-month | Death and the Maiden

In this iconic scene, Elain and Azriel embody the essence of the “Death and the Maiden” trope. As Feyre evisions it: “Elain looked up at Azriel, their eyes meeting, his hand still lingering on the hilt of the blade. I saw the painting in my mind: the lovely fawn, blooming spring vibrant behind her. Standing before Death, shadows and terrors lurking over his shoulder. Light and dark, the space between their bodies a blend of the two. The only bridge of connection … that knife.”

Thank you so much @evaroseart for creating this masterpiece!! I’m in awe of this piece 💕

“Are you hurt?”

“You came for me.”

HAPPY ELRIEL MONTH! Can’t believe we’re finally here (with a potential Elain book announcement on the horizon)! What better way to start it than with the scene that made me fall in love with the ship in the first place?

This moment right here is what really solidified Elriel for me. It encompasses everything I could ask for in a rescue scene. Azriel willing to risk it all to save Elain when even Nesta, her biggest defender, doesn’t believe it can work; the terror and loneliness and helplessness she must have felt, thinking nobody would come for her, followed by the shock and painful relief when someone 𝘥𝘰𝘦𝘴. Death personified showing such tender care for her at such a vulnerable moment, shared between the two in the midst of the chaos; the subtle characterizations and romance of this scene are so special to me.

I truly hope we get to see one of their POVs of this scene in the next book, but for now, I hope this art brings you as much joy as it’s brought me!

Thank you thank you THANK YOU @mysticmiav for being so understanding and helpful while creating this piece for me! From the first sketch I knew I was in love, this might officially be my favorite art of a canon Elriel moment and I truly can’t thank you enough 🫶
