#elriel endgame

[elrielmoments]

During the war in ACOWAR, Feyre had Rhys take Elain to the farthest part of their camp. Yet Elain kills Hybern, saving Nesta and Cassian in the middle of where the war is taking place.

The Inner Circle didn’t bring Elain to the battlefield.

Elain ON HER OWN, possibly with the help of Azriel’s shadows (as she steps out of them) went into the battlefield and killed the King of Hybern with Truth-Teller.

Elain's problems:

🎶 I keep recalling things we never did

messy top lip kiss how I long for our trysts

without ever touching his skin

how could I be guilty as sin? 🎶

✨Elriel x Tangled ✨

“Now she's here, shining in the starlight

Now she's here, suddenly I know

If she's here, it's crystal clear

I'm where I'm meant to go.”

…

“And the world has somehow shifted

All at once everything is different

Now that I see you.”

Once, I said that the cartoon version of Elain would be Rapunzel for how kind and non-judgemental she is. She accepts everyone as they are, yet she hides her true self to keep her family happy.

Of course, I had to draw Elriel as Eugene and Rapunzel 🥹 The tough exterior bad boy with a heart of gold and the sweet dreamer ❤️

Thinking about

Azriel smiling as he notices Elain clutching her fork.

Azriel lending Truth-Teller to Elain.

Thinking about

Elain asking Azriel about flying.

Elain flying for the first time in Az's arms.

Thinking about

Azriel not liking physical touch.

Azriel reaching for Elain's touch.

Thinking about

Azriel bringing back the light in Elain's eyes.

Elain making Azriel's eyes so bright.

Thinking about

Elain saying no one sees her.

Azriel being the first one to notice she's gone, him figuring out she's a seer, him lending TT to her, him listening to her gardening plans until early in the morning.

Thinking about

Azriel being known as scary and cold. (Death)

Elain not balking from him. (the trembling fawn)

Thinking about

Azriel being self-conscious of his hands.

Elain calling his hands beautiful.

Thinking about

Azriel blushing at Elain's compliment.

Elain blushing at Azriel's smile.

*taps microphone* Is this thing on?

I'd like to give my perspective on something, from someone who started out in the ACOTAR fandom as part of the general audience, and who has a sister that is not apart of fandom but has read the books.

I read the series back in November 2023 in about 2 weeks. I stayed off of social media for a bit until I decided to make a Tumblr account.

After reading the books, I wasn't sure if the series was complete. It didn't feel complete. The first three books focused on Feyre. Nesta had an entire, almost 800 page book dedicated to her. For me, it was natural to assume, "Oh, Elain is next!" because logically, that was the only thing that made sense. Why would two sisters have books, but the third wouldn't? The series would seem incomplete.

Flash forward, and I find out that yes, there will be more to come in the series. However, at this point, I was still unaware that a bonus chapter for Silver Flames existed until a friend casually mentioned it. I asked where to find it and I began reading.

The first part of the bonus chapter confirmed what I already believed from reading the books. Azriel and Elain share mutual feelings. Truly, I didn't need confirmation in the bonus, because there were moments in the books that I already had picked up on. The bonus was just a nice surprise. Something fun.

But imagine my shock when I decided to insert myself into fandom space as a casual reader, and see folks who are 110% convinced that the next book's main character is going to be a secondary side character that was introduced about 40% of the way into the 4th book.

You don't have to imagine my shock, because I'll tell you. The moment I set foot into this fandom, I have been beyond confused. Bamboozled. Befuddled. And honestly, a bit gaslit.

Prior to this bonus chapter, I assumed everyone thought it was obvious and picked up on the pattern. The first sister gets a few books to explore her powers, heal, and fall in love. The second sister gets a book to do the exact same thing. The third sister would get a book...to do the exact. same. thing.

There was a week where I had zero idea that the bonus chapter existed. There are STILL people who have no idea that the bonus chapter exists, and may never end up reading it. These people are not on Tumblr, Reddit, Instagram, or Discord, discussing in depth theories and potential love squares. They are solely relying on canon text.

So, genuinely, what do you think their reactions are going to be, if the next book does not focus on Elain, the third sister, but rather a priestess, who was part of someone else's story, who was only just introduced in the very last book, who does not have any ties to the plot? Yes. They will be lost, too.

My sister, who is part of the general audience, and is not present in fandom spaces, has the same opinion. The idea of Azriel and Elain not ending up together doesn't make sense to her. Prior to showing her the bonus, she had already assumed Azriel and Elain would be the next pairing in the next series. Because she had only read the canon text. The canon text that is available to everyone. The bonus is not.

So, essentially, what I'm trying to say is, if the next book does not feature Elain as the main character, and Azriel as the main love interest, with sprinkles of Lucien here and there because he is still important because of the mating bond, then there will be a gigantic chunk of casual readers, who are not involved in fandom spaces, that will be utterly confused at the direction of the story. Because for people who are not on social media, they are only using the canon books. Their information is only coming from the canon books that are available for all readers. If information in bonus chapters is supposed to be important, then it would be featured in books for everyone to read.

Poor Az is shipped with everyone he minutely interacts with

Meanwhile Az in his one POV so far:

[dazedandshadowed]

Gwynriels and Eluciens getting upset because Elain and Azriel are what fans suspect will happen is silly. SJM said it was obvious. Lucien hasn’t had a POV and that should have been enough proof. Elain dislikes her mate. He even feels uncomfortable.

It’s not about Lucien’s happiness and it’s not about Gwyns.

Cliche is what SJM is known for, and I mean that in a good way. Elriel will happen.

thinking about when elain says "you came for me" at hybern's camp like my girl probably didn't think anyone would notice she was gone didn't think anyone would come after her :(

(they will never make me hate you elain <3)

NEW ELAIN AND AZRIEL ARTICLE !!! 🤍🌸🦇

#elriel #pro elriel #elriel supremacy #elriel endgame #elain archeron #azriel #acotar

[violetasteracademic]

Looks and Touching: Elriel

The Looks:

Elain shyly glancing away from Azriel's soft smile, puzzling Cassian. (Are we suprised?)

An utterly charged look passing between Azriel and Elain on Solstice, the same night he is grappling with whether or not to give her the necklace be bought for her.

The Touching:

Azriel cradling Elain to his chest, not letting her go until Rhys pulls her from his arms even though he can barely stand and his power has completely given out.

Azriel taking her hand to give her Truth-Teller, and lingering after their gazes meet.

PLZ THEY ARE SO AGGGGHJSHDJSD *bites screen from cute aggresion*

How could you not want them?!

“Azriel arrived first, no shadows to be seen, my sister a pale, golden mass in his arms. He, too, wore his Illyrian armor, Elain’s golden-brown hair snagging in some of the black scales across his chest and shoulders.

He set her down gently on the foyer carpet, having carried her in through the front door.

Elain peered up at his patient, solemn face.”

~ACOWAR, Ch 24~

Here it is: my six-month WIP is finally finished after a long break from it! It is my (loosely based) depiction of one of my favorite Elriel moments 🤗

This scene alone tells me that Elain can most definitely handle Azriel’s darkness. Baby girl will light him up.

SJM when asked who the next book is about

Antis: "there's no foreshadowing between Elriel, their interactions are not romantic. Have you read the BC??!!"

the BC: there she was, Az had stayed by the door the whole time in case it became too much and needed to leave (his secret to tell never hers), they'd exhanged looks, the occasional brush of their fingers, Azriel wanting to get on his knees to taste Elain, Az and Elain about to kiss.

Antis: "elriel is too obvious, SJM wouldn't do that"

sjm setting up the forbidden romance for the spymaster who had lovers he kept secret and the seer who knows how to keep secrets and had her sister wondering if she took lessons in stealth by Azriel or her besties who are spies (and work with him).
