#erixius

Happy birthday, @zenkindoflove ! You are such a sweet, supportive, and talented friend, and I was very excited to capture your work of Alexius x Eris again in all its glory with a book cover for Pull Me In Deeper 🥹 If you can't tell, I got the Eris side vs Alexius side of the front cover's border, picking out the symbols for both was so fun! Back cover and closeups under cut:

Eris x Alexius (male OC) - created by @zenkindoflove

He felt the strength and energy behind each of Alexius’ steps. The brush of their hips felt like beasts colliding, clashing their horns and thrashing away. Instead of light and graceful, Alexius was solid and firm in his arms, back straight with a masculine poise. It felt like at any moment, if he so deemed it, Alexius might sweep him up in his own arms, dragging him across the floor to make him submit. But he didn’t. Instead, he strutted and twirled when appropriate, letting his fingers graze across Eris’ chest when he completed a rotation around him.

It took all of Eris’ will not to pull him in for a kiss right there.

Chapter 14, Summer Heat

Ever since I finished writing Summer Heat, the dancing scene between Eris and Alexius (male Day Court OC) has stuck with me and I have wanted to see it immortalized in artwork, so I commissioned this piece from @froggybogwitch whose style was perfect for capturing the romance and dynamic movement I wanted to be portrayed. They were amazing to work with! Thank you again for making this moment come to life with art!

Happy happy birthday to my bestie @zenkindoflove ♥︎ To help everyone celebrate, I have put together the ultimate Zenkindoflove Fanfiction Guide depending on your mood. Having written 29 (!!!) SJM fics, these are just a few of my favorites!

♥︎ Kick Your Feet Cuz It's Cute & Sexy → Shackled An enchanted pair of handcuffs. A prank gone wrong. A bottle of whiskey. This was turning out to be the most awkward Winter Solstice for Elain and Lucien yet.

♥︎ Horny & Hot Action → Kneel Before Me Lucien arrives at the House of Wind, only to be drawn into a sparring match with none other than the Inner Circle's own Shadowsinger. Things get out of hand and Azriel discovers whether he really can defeat Lucien easily.

♥︎ Fluff, Angst & Smut Cocktail → Pull Me In Deeper Needing more alliances, Eris strikes a deal with Helion: go to the continent and find out information for him, and Day Court will support him usurping Beron. What he didn’t account for is the beautiful Day Court emissary accompanying him that makes his heart race while being such a thorn in his side.

♥︎ Murder Mystery With Witches → Carrion Flowers AU - Detective Lucien Vanserra has been sent to Sunset Hollow to solve a grisly murder. Cunning and skeptical, he is determined to not allow superstition and hearsay divert him from the truth. However, the town is whispering of witches, and one suspected witch by the name of Elain Archeron haunts his dreams and his heart.

♥︎ When You Crave The Ultimate Sexual Tension → She Burns Haunted by visions and dreams, Elain can't escape the pull of her mate. In her grief and loneliness, the cauldron's cold waters still permeate her bones. There is one source of heat she knows could warm her, but she continues to deny herself and him.

♥︎ Come For Elucien, Fall For Erixius → Summer Heat Summer Court is hosting the Summer Solstice Summit and the Night Court is sending their best emissaries to attend. It will be Elain's first time mingling in another court, and it's a good thing she has an expert guiding her: the mate she's been ignoring for the last two years. Meanwhile, Eris has been sent to the summit to spy on Summer's developments. What he doesn't anticipate is entangling in a steamy, forbidden romance.

♥︎ Sexy Shower Smut → The Art of Seducing Your Merman Husband When Sathia realizes that Tharion is purposely ignoring all of her attempts at seduction, she decides on Valentine's Day that the only way to finally get her husband in her bed is to make a gesture so obvious, that even a merman with one brain cell would figure it out.

♥︎ You Love Crazykindoflove → Dear Lucien, Dear Elain Epistolary (adj., of a literary work) in the form of letters. After the winter solstice in ACOSF, Elain and Lucien exchange letters as a means to get to know each other away from prying eyes. This fic is a collection of those letters.

"I will be your knight in shining armor" -Eris probably

Happy Valentine's Day @zenkindoflove ! I know you love the knight/Guard and Princess combo, and I thought Eris would be a fantastic knight to Alexius' prince! The two sneaking away for a moment of passion and love.

A little comic based on this ask that @olenvasynyt sent to @zenkindoflove about her OC Alexius! If you wanna read what Eris is reading, you can! Pull Me in Deeper by Zenkindoflove

Would Eris still love Alexius if he was a worm 🪱🥺?

“…Basically Eris would sigh in exasperation wondering what the hell Alexius has gotten himself into to get in this circumstance. And while he prepared a nice little soil home for him, he'd be scolding him for his foolishness the whole time. So yes, Eris would adore Alexius, even if he were a worm…”

Details/close-ups below the cut!

“What if I don’t know what to wish for?” Alexius scoffed, “Oh, I doubt that.”

Eris Vanserra and Alexius

( @zenkindoflove OC from her multiple fics!!! To me, he is canon. Don't know him? Sounds like a skill issue. Go read about him!)
