This is the last interaction we see between Elain and Azriel in ACOSF and I think it perfectly sets the stage for their romance. Their feelings have been slowly building for multiple books now and tension like that can’t be kept secret for long.

This commission by the talented thiaperezart captures the mutual yearning and desire between Elain and Azriel so beautifully! Fingers crossed we finally get to see Azriel on his knees for the woman he’s been so desperate for in the new books 💖

Characters belong to Sarah J. Maas

Azriel lend Truth-teller, the blade that he never let anyone touch, to Elain. 🌹

And this scene is in the coloring book

Also the new cover of acowar

TT is starswords/gwydion’s pair and only Elain and Azriel used it!!!

Gwydion/Starsword and TT are light-dark

And in the TT scene Elain and Azriel are light-dark

Truth-teller flows with shadows when its used

Bryce threw her power into the Starsword, light ripping through the black blade, willing it to tear this fucking monster apart—She willed it into Truth-Teller, and shadows flowed—

And Elain stepped out of a shadow when she wielded Truth-teller

Sarah added Elain as Blodeuwedd in her pinterest boards.

And Gwydion name is connected with the mythological tale of Blodeuwedd. In the tale Gwydion is the magician that "made" Blodeuwedd.

Blodeuwedd (Welsh pronunciation: [blɔˈdeiwɛð]; Welsh "Flower-Faced", a composite name from blodau "flowers" + gwedd "face"),[1] is married to Lleu Llaw Gyffes in Welsh mythology. She was made from the flowers of broom, meadowsweet and oak by the magicians Math and Gwydion, and is a central figure in Math fab Mathonwy, the last of the Four Branches of the Mabinogi.

Happy Elriel month everyone! We are finally getting more Elain and Az content this year 🥹 I'm anticipating a lot of yearning and angst between these two in book 6 so I wanted this commission to capture that feeling. In this piece, Elain and Az can't help but reach for each other as they pass in a corridor. Between their charged glances, words left unspoken, and brushing of hands - they are the ultimate yearners and I'm so excited to see where their story goes 💙🩷

Huge thanks to rockieartt for creating this for me! You capture Elriel so beautifully every time.

Azriel didn’t hesitate to face certain death to save Elain. And Elain—gagged, chained, and wrists burning with violet steel—still devoured the sight of him, as if she couldn’t quite believe he’d come for her.

This scene exemplifies the pull between these two, and how well they work in harmony. Even bound, Elain still fought alongside Azriel, slamming her foot into the hound’s face until it released him, keeping both Azriel and the innocent Briar alive. Azriel’s focus never wavered: get her out, get her to safety, no matter what it cost him.

Two souls moving in tandem, even through chaos. Light and dark. Strength and quiet ferocity. Theirs is a partnership born from trust, sacrifice, and a bond deeper than words.

Endlessly thankful to @northyme for capturing this heart-stopping Elriel moment so beautifully! Every update took our breath away, culminating in this stunning piece.
