“Azriel stood in the doorway, monitoring them. As if he’d heard Elain’s sharp laugh and wondered what had caused it.”

One of my favorite subtle-yet-powerful scenes that shows the true depth to Azriel’s yearning. To be unable to keep himself from following the sound of her laugh; wanting to see what caused it, quietly wishing it was him, content just to see her happy. Their slow burn is just *chefs kiss*

THANK you endlessly to Lynx for creating this for me; every piece you make is a knockout, and I can feel theyearning through the screen 🫶

Flower Moon (May 1) - associated with blooming life, the peak of spring

Blue Moon (May 31) - associated with rarity, heightened energy, clarity, and connection to the divine

This is all in good fun, of course, but it seems like such a happy coincidence to have a rare, Blue Moon grace the Flower Moon during elriel month. It also made me think of the rose Paper Archeron carved for Elain, half-hidden in shadows and next to the Mother:

And if you add April’s full moon to this auspicious occasion, the Flower Moon is surrounded by a Pink Moon and a Blue Moon. Like Elain, amid bursting blooms:

Later in the story, when she is compared to spring, she’s wearing a color to honor the queen of shrubs, combining pink and blue:

Happy Elriel Month everyone! For today's prompt, @acourtofquietdreamers and I collaborated on this commission and we are so happy we got the chance to work with the talented @lynx_illustration again!

Her work always blows us away and she did a phenomenal job bringing the prettiest in Prythian to life 🩷

There's something so beautiful about two people who seem so different on the outside being drawn together so effortlessly. In this piece, we wanted to showcase the beauty created when light and dark blend together.

Elain and Azriel representing light and dark is one of the many reasons they make such a complimentary pair. While Azriel can help Elain embrace the darkness, Elain can show Azriel he's worthy of the light he's craved since he was a young boy trapped in a dark cell.
