“It’s a simple ache, this yearning of mine, and it sits behind my ribs, breathing when I shouldn’t think about you.” 🥀

@elucienweekofficial | day three: peak yearning

I can’t thank you enough @adelikashere for this commission! The way you took my idea and effortlessly turned it into a thing of beauty!

ℍ𝕠𝕝𝕕 𝕠𝕟 𝕥𝕚𝕘𝕙𝕥, 𝕤𝕡𝕚𝕕𝕖𝕣 𝕞𝕠𝕟𝕜𝕖𝕪!

This should have won. RIP yearning, you're great and I'm gonna let you finish but Twilight AU was the best day 3 prompt of all time!

Major massive thanks to @ratabrasileira for always being game and her willing spirit of "yes, and-" this was ALL her brilliance, she deserves every ounce of creative credit

And of course thank you to @the-lonelybarricade for being the funniest person I know

So here’s my contribution for Elucien Week Day 3 Peak Yearning!

To set the stage: Lucien and Elain have worked together for months towards getting the peace treaty signed between the humans and Prythian courts. With the treaty complete, and Lucien telling Rhys he can no longer be his emissary, Lucien and Elain seem to be going down separate paths. Here’s the night before Elain’s return to Velaris.

—

“Any other day,” Lucien whispered, taking a step closer. Daring to breathe in her scent. Gods, that jasmine and honey scent would bring him to his knees if he didn’t concentrate on the words he needed to get out.

In all these months working together, traveling courts and sleeping under the same roof, there has been barely a graze of the hand or press of shoulders. His hands, constantly clenched so hard indentations were forming on his palms, had been kept to himself.

But now on the eve of her return to Night Court, he finally reached for her. He gently grasped both of her upper arms, pulling himself closer to her as his hands ran down her arms and clasped her hands. He let out a breath of relief as she squeezed his hands in encouragement, and he couldn’t help but bend so low that his nose nearly grazed hers. He thought his chest might give out from how tight the bond was pulling, how that thread strained nearly to the point of snapping. The bond seemed to whisper just a little closer in his ear, to close that gap between their lips. He knew any more touch between them and he’d erupt in light and wind and whatever other magic she seemed to bring out of him. His jaw tightened as he willed himself to restrain.

“Any other day,” he repeated. “I would let it be. It’s always been your choice when it comes to us.”

Us. Cauldron boil him, there was an us between them. He wondered if the thread was yanking as hard in her chest as it was for him. If her knees were dangerously wobbling like his.

Those fawn brown eyes met his own. Those eyes were home, achingly reminiscent of the Autumn Court’s canopies with amber and forest green speckled across that lovely brown. He was instantly brought back to memories of afternoons laying on the forest floor staring above as the sunbeams filtered and shifted with each flutter of the changing leaves. That day in Hybern, when their eyes first locked, he had been transported to his long-lost memories of home. He had known then what she was to him.

She was his home. His mate. His heart twinged painfully at the thought that perhaps she would never consider him her home, and maybe she yearned to return to Velaris. To whomever waited for her there.

“But I’ve spent my whole life just letting things happen to me. And I can’t let this just happen to me too without saying something. So, I’m begging you. Please stay. Be with me. Don’t go back.”

Day Three - Peak Yearning for @elucienweekofficial

Commissioned from Nanna.Arts by me

For Elucien Week 2026, I'm sharing a drabble a day to match each prompt. Historically, drabbles are 100-word stories, meant to challenge writers at brief, succinct story telling. Feel free to join me and share your elucien drabbles too!

Day 3: Peak Yearning

Lucien held the air at the bottom of his lungs until it physically pained him. He exhaled with a shudder, clenching his fists as he straightened his spine. He kept his eyes forward, looking her way but not directly at her, calculating her distance and speed as she approached, her head bowed as she clutched the basket hanging on her arm. He hoped she couldn’t hear his heart anymore because now it hammered in his chest, his cheeks flushing with nervous anticipation as he curled his lips in a welcoming smile. She didn't smile back, passing him without a word.

I’M SWOONING 💗💗💗 Thank you so much for this stunning art 🫶

Gooood morning to everyone except whoever is opening this door.

Elucien week day 2- Feral

I love how so many people think of Calanmai and the absolute ferocity these two will share during that time!!

I have a fic in the works that this image is based off of! I was debating on doing an image or a fic, so I decided one could be for feral day and the other for 'revival' day!
