Visions of the Future

You can’t convince me that when Elain said, ‘Not in the way I enjoy a waltz or gavotte…’, Azriel wasn’t paying attention in that moment. Quietly filing away that Elain fact. Maybe just maybe will get Elain and Azriel dancing in their book.

starting with the obvious…

- gifts: self-explanatory. headache powder (which azriel cherishes), necklace, and ear plugs

- physical touch: brushing of hands, azriel bridal carrying elain multiple times, azriel being the one to winnow elain most (all?) of the time, the bonus chapter

- quality time: azriel listening to elain’s garden plans until dawn, hanging out in the garden while azriel tans his wings and reads reports

- words of affirmation: elain calling azriel’s hands “beautiful,” azriel being the one to recognize elain is a seer, offer and permission “yes…”

Firstly I want to thank banshee so much for how wonderful this came out, when I approached her with the idea she was so excited and working with her was a wonderful experience 🥹♥️ two this piece was inspired by my small one shot for elriel month “The Veil Between Life and Death” I love the idea of Elain getting Azriel back, a call back to their biggest moment in ACOWAR and how powerful their love is.

For my final Elriel Month commission, I wanted a piece where they were, quite simply, happy and content together. Like many Elriels, I've always gravitated toward the image of Elain clinging to Azriel "just to have some peace and quiet." In a chaotic world, I love the thought of them finding refuge in each other.

And happy Elriel Month to everyone! It always amazes me every year just how fast May flies by. Each time, I am blown away by all the art and writing and creativity on display. We may not have our Elriel book yet, but I love the little community we've built during this endless wait.

And it was Azriel who added, his voice raw with the aftermath of battle-rage, “And then we retaliate.” - ACOMAF, chapter 60 🦇

These two are keen supporters of the "fuck around and find out" philosophy, and I love that for them. Their enemies hate to see them coming.

This has to mean something. 🕯️🕯️🕯️

Thank you so much, Elaine for creating this wonderfully amazing piece. Your talent never ceases to amaze me friend 🫶🏼

I can’t believe we started this, the idea of this, in like, October/November of last year!! It was definitely worth the wait 🥹

Do they mean this Lucien?:

Or this one:

Her heart did a little leap every time she heard footsteps—only to deflate when it was just the breeze or a bird or her own ridiculous hope.
