Let's do some logic, children!
We have three sisters; Feyre, Nesta, Elain
And three brothers; Rhysand, Cassian, Azriel
Each of the sister has two friends, which makes them three too!
Feyre has Morrigan and Amren,
Nesta has Emerie and Gwyneth,
Elain has Nuala and Cerridwen
These friends are connected to each brother who pairs with each sister!
Feyre makes pair with Rhysand! And her friends are the members of the Inner Circle and Second-In-Command and Third-In-Command to the High Lord of the Night Court!
Nesta makes pair with Cassian! And her friends are the Valkyrie warriors trained by the Illyrian General Commander of the Night Court armies!
Elain makes pair with Azriel! And her friends are the spies of the Night Court trained by the Spymaster of the Night Court!
Very easy, right?
I’m so excited!!!
Mor’s reaction to Cassian and Nesta in ACOMF:
I watched a tear slide down Nesta’s cheek. And I watched as Cassian reached up a hand to wipe it away. She did not flinch from his touch. I didn’t know why, but I looked at Mor. Her eyes were wide. Not with jealousy, or irritation, but … something perhaps like awe.
Mor’s reaction to Azriel and Elain in ACOFS:
''Wait," Azriel said, nothing but command in his voice. Mor gaped wide enough that I was certain the half-chewed green beans in her mouth were going to tumble onto her plate."
Why I struggle with reading GA and EL theories
 One thing I think gets lost in these “ ship” discussions is the difference between a passing detail and narrative emphasis.
Authors don't spend pages on something by accident.
Elain rescue scene
the truth teller scene
Azriel carrying Elain over the threshold to then take her into the Garden
Azriel figures out Elain is a seer
Azriel taking the potatoes from Elain and making sure everyone waited for her before starting dinner.
The headache medicine soltice gift scene
Etc.
When a story slows down, lingers on imagery, dedicates multiple paragraphs to describing an interaction, has other characters comment on it, ties it to symbolism, and then makes that moment pivotal to the plot—that's the narrative telling you to pay attention.
Azriel giving Elain Truth-Teller wasn't a throwaway moment.
Feyre literally pauses to describe it like a painting. The scene is given weight, imagery, and emotional significance. Then Elain uses that same knife to kill the King of Hybern, one of the defining moments that ends the war.
That's how stories create meaning.
So yes, I struggle when fandom turns a one-line interaction, a glance, or someone lifting an eyebrow into "proof" while simultaneously dismissing entire scenes that the narrative itself put under a spotlight.
You don't have to ship Elriel. But at some point we're talking about narrative structure, not preferences. One side keeps pointing to moments the author spent chapters building. The other keeps pointing to an eyebrow.
I just read how Azriel and Elain both say “Yes” one right after the other like marriage vows in the bonus chapter and I am BESIDE myself. DID EVERYONE ELSE KNOW THIS??? 🫣
“I should go,” Elain said, but made no move to leave. “Yes,” he said, his thumb sweeping in long strokes along the side of her throat. Her arousal drifted up to him, and his eyes nearly rolled back in his head at the sweet scent. He’d beg on his knees for a chance to taste it. But Azriel just stroked her neck again. Elain shuddered, drifting closer. So close one deep breath would brush her breasts against his chest. She looked up at him, her face so trusting and hopeful and open that he knew she had no idea that he had done unspeakable things that sullied his hands far beyond their scars. Such terrible things that it was a sacrilege for his fingers to touch her skin, tainting her with his presence. But he could have this. This one moment, and maybe a taste, and that would be it. “Yes” Elain breathed, like she read the decision. Just this taste in the dead of the longest night of the year, where only the Mother might witness them.

“He slept as well as could be expected, but when Azriel returned to the river house to gather his presents before dawn, he found Elain’s necklace amid the pile.”
-ACOSF
No Small Potatoes
Rumor is some people think the Elriels assign too much importance to and are too obsessed with the potato scene. Truthfully, we have not given it enough attention. There are no small potatoes in Prythian, so here we go.
We will start with a breakdown of various moments from the iconic scene.
“Don’t,” Elain said flatly, starting once more into a walk, veils of steam drifting past her shoulders from the roasted rosemary potatoes in her hands, as if they were Azriel’s shadows. “She won’t listen.”
It is notable that Maas chooses to compare the steam of the potato to both veils and Azriel’s shadows. It connects Elain to wedding imagery and then to Azriel himself.
But the others came barreling in from the sitting room, Cassian kissing Elain's cheek in greeting before he nearly lifted her out of the way to get to the dining table. Amen came next, giving my sister a nod, her ruby necklace sparkling in the faelights speckled throughout the garlands in the hall. Then Mor, with a smacking kiss for either cheek. Then Rhys, shaking his head at Cassian, who began helping himself to the platters Nuala and Cerridwen winnowed in. As Elain lived here, my mate gave her only a smile of greeting before taking up his seat at Cassian's right.
This scene is notable as a contrast from how the others act around her to what happens next. Anyone could have take the potatoes that she was carrying, but nobody did. They’re more casual in their behavior with her and she with them.
“Azriel emerged from the sitting room, a glass of wine in hand and wings tucked back to reveal his fine, yet simple black jacket and pants. I felt, more than saw, my sister go still as he approached. Her throat bobbed.”
Elain goes still at the sight of Azriel. Cassian went still at the sight of Nesta and Azriel went still at the sight of Elain earlier on in the series. Now she goes still at the sight of him. It’s a romantic pattern. Then Elain’s throat bobs showing she was nervous or excited about seeing him. How cute. Their reactions to each other as mentioned earlier, contrast against the earlier interactions with the others. There is a tension that their Maas clearly wanted to highlight.
"Are you just going to hold that chicken all night?" Cassian asked me from the table. Scowling, I stomped toward him, plunking the platter onto the wooden surface. "I spat in it," I said sweetly. "Makes it all the more delicious," Cassian crooned, smiling right back. Rhys snickered, drinking deeply from his wine.
This interaction again sets up to provide contrast for what happens later on.
“In time to see Elain say to Azriel “Hello”. Az said nothing. No, he just moved toward her. Mor tensed beside me. But Azriel only took Elain’s heavy dish of potatoes from her hands, his voice soft as night as he said, “Sit. I’ll take care of it.” Elain’s hands remained in midair, as if the ghost of the dish remained between them. With a blink, she lowered them, and noticed her apron. “I—I’ll be right back,”
Mor tensing is interesting. She has interesting reactions when it comes to Elain and Azriel more than once. I wonder why. Maas took care to note that Azriel’s voice was soft when he spoke to Elain. So sweet. Additionally, Look at him relieving her burden like a true partner. Then Elain freezing and blinking is so interesting especially since many have theorized her blinking means she had a vision. I’ve long wondered if she saw something. I also find it so cute she got self conscious and ran off to calm down and pretty herself.
Azriel set the potatoes in the center of the table, Cassian diving right in. Or he tried to. One moment, his hand was spearing toward the serving spoon. The next, it was stopped, Azriel's scarred fingers wrapped around his wrist. "Wait," Azriel said, nothing but command in his voice.
Mor gaped wide enough that I was certain the half-chewed green beans in her mouth were going to tumble onto her plate. Amren just smirked over the rim of her wineglass. Cassian gawked at him. "Wait for what? Gravy?" Azriel didn’t let go. “Wait until everyone is seated.”
In the earlier interaction, Maas only says Feyre plunked the potatoes onto the table. Here Maas specifically says Azriel places the potatoes in the center of the table. She chose to note he gave them a place of honor. Then Azriel making everyone wait for Elain to eat is absolutely husband material. Everyone’s reactions here also show that this was an atypical choice from Azriel to highlight how special it was he did this for Elain.
“Elain swept in apron gone and hair rebraided. “Please don’t wait on my account”, she said taking the seat at the head of the table.”
Awww she prettied herself up for him. It’s also notable that she sat at the head of the table in the townhouse, a place typically reserved for the owner or head of the household. How interesting. Is that foreshadowing for it being HER home one day. Coincidentally it is the place where Azriel carried her over the threshold like a bride and groom.
Now let’s look at the dish itself. Roasted Rosemary Potatoes:
Looking at the rosemary. There’s the obvious rose in the name which is another rose connection, but that’s low hanging fruit. Some sources claim rosemary was believed to be able to reveal your true love. It had also been associated with rememberance, faithfulness, and fidelity in love. Then the potatoes of it all. Potatoes were served the day Elain and Azriel met. Potatoes have been considered a symbol of resilience (Elriel can survive anything), life, and hope (a hope theory tie in). Many also consider potatoes a comfort food. So in a way Elain was giving Azriel comfort.
An addition fun fact is that potatoes have been present from the very start of Elriel. Potatoes were one of the dishes at their first ever meal together.
*A faint smile bloomed upon Azriel's mouth as he noticed Elain's fingers white-knuckled on that fork, but he kept silent,
…
I sighed through my nose and yanked the lids off the various dishes and casseroles. Poached salmon with dill and lemon from the hothouse, whipped potatoes, roast chicken with beets and turnips from the root cellar, and some casserole of egg, game meat, and leeks.*
LONG LIVE POTATOES.
Ignoring how Azriel and Elain are endgame, the most impressive part of this scene is that Az carried the potatoes while holding a glass of wine - like damn this man can multitask …. Elain is a lucky girl 😂
Seer Elain 🔮💜
I’ve been a fan for awhile but when I came back to the fandom around the time of Sarah’s announcement I could not believe the Gwyn theories- where had this come from? I went through all the books being reassured the text was pointing me the right way. Of course I discovered the bonus chapter. I had never heard of any of the ACOTAR bonus chapters as a casual reader. Azriels really stumped me. I read it over and over trying to pick up the clues Sarah left us. So similar in formatting to Cassian’s with all of the mate type of behavior displayed between Azriel and Elain. Had she changed her mind? I don’t think so.
Also no hate to other fans and ships I only wish everyone happy reading in October 🌸
And it was Elain—Elain—who sighed and murmured, “I hope they all burn in hell.”

“Send Lucien, then. As our human emissary.”
I studied the tenseness in Azriel’s shoulders, the shadows veiling half of him from the sunlight. “Lucien is away right now.”
Az’s brows rose. “Where?”
I winked at him. “You’re my spymaster. Shouldn’t you know?”
Az crossed his arms, face as elegant and cold as the legendary dagger at his side. “I don’t make a point of looking after his movements.”
“Why?”
Not a flicker of emotion. “He is Elain’s mate.”
I waited.
“It would be an invasion of her privacy to track him.”
To know when and if Lucien sought her out. What they did together.
“You sure about that?” I asked quietly.
Azriel’s Siphons guttered, the stones turning as dark and foreboding as the deepest sea. “Where did Lucien go.”
I straightened at the pure order in the words. But I said, voice slipping into a drawl, “He went to the Spring Court. He’ll be there for Solstice.”
And this man is in love with Gwyn come on now people 😒🙄
bryce and hunt:
But she strode across the room, throwing Hunt a glance that had him following. He always got her like that—they didn't need Ruhn's fancy mind-speaking to communicate.
elain and azriel:
Lie. Well, the second part was a lie. He didn't need his shadows to read her tone, the slight tightening of her face.

could mean nothing
“Rhysand essentially tells Azriel that his feelings for Elain are a threat to political stability. He frames it as duty over desire. And Azriel, who has spent his entire life putting duty first, who has never once prioritized his own happiness, obeys.”
I think we are going to see one hell of a “ fuck it” moment with Elain 🤭🌸

Soft steps padded from under the stair archway, and there she was.
The faelights gilded Elain’s unbound hair, making her glow like the sun at dawn.
