Courting Lucien Vanserra - Elucien Short Fic

Title: Courting Lucien Vanserra

Relationship: Elain/Lucien

Rating: E

Type: Chapter 1 of 3??; 8k words ~

Summary:

“I think it may be too late for us, that I was a wretch for far too long and now he wants nothing to do with me—” Elain blurted out in a teary confession to her sisters. Nesta, face like stone, hissed. “Then there is only one thing left to do. You must thoroughly and ardently court him.”

Elain’s tears stopped rolling down her face with utter confusion. “Court him?”

“You need to seduce Lucien,” Feyre clarified with a feral grin.

READ ON AO3

Notes: Elucien, mostly canon compliant. Idiots to Lovers really. I wanted to write a story where Elain pursues Lucien instead of the other way around. This is my first time writing smut with shenanigans mixed in. Would love to know what you all think! Lucien’s POV will be next!

random WoT hot take of the day: I think we all basically agree that Mat does a really weird 180 re: the Seanchan and slavery between WH and CoT, but even more bizarre is whatever the fuck is going on with Setalle Anan, A FORMER AES SEDAI. I think some of it is intended to be Mat's PoV obscuring what may be a deliberate strategy on her part to get close to Tuon, but...what the fuck, actually!

#wheel of time #wot book spoilers #setalle anan #the more I think about it the more it feels #like RJ just really wanted to graft on a romantic comedy arc #to a plotline whose underlying fundamentals were...to say the least NOT comedic

I'm a huge fan of stories where characters come from such different cultures that it makes it genuinely difficult for them to like. TELL whether they have mutual romantic interest, let alone COMMUNICATE it.

ESPECIALLY especially especially when there are aliens or fantasty species with different physiologies that mean even attempting to perform the gestures of romance from your beloved's culture might not be possible!

-Miscommunication!

-Mutual pining!

- No common playbook to follow! ERGO...having to invent ur own!

Yes its about queerness. Yes its about social scripts and the people who struggle to exist within them. Yes its about the beauty of cultural diversity and exploring new worlds because of LOVE and creating a new language to communicate … together <3

#chewing on this in a chilaios way #as mantisgod said if u do fantasy right it absolutely counts as monsterfucking to date outside your species #i've read really good moomins fic about this. And ATLA and Star wars #fics where people kiss without their partner realising its a romantic thing #date without realising its a romantic thing #PROPOSE MARRIAGE without their partner realising its a romantic thing #the comedy and pathos is just mwah #chilaios

red white and royal blue was so cheesy and predictable I enjoyed it thoroughly. making banal queer romantic comedies is hard but necessary work

#sooner or later we'll start getting them with lesbians too *shakes fist in determination* imagine #nor's rambles #ALTHOUGH it would be refreshing to get a film that does not hit all these romantic comedy beats #or that would be a romantic comedy but actually good. like palm springs but gay. the big sick but gay #WHEN HARRY MET SALLY BUT GAY although that really hits the beats ahgvadhbfds #also personally i like queer stories that don't give much attention to labels and such. i think those are really important too #it's one of the reasons i'm not the biggest fan of hearstop*per (censoring so it doesn't go into the tag to ruin people's fun) #because i feel like it's just taking all the letters from the LGBTQIA and assigning each character with a letter #which is not wrong in any way and once again i am older than the intended audience it's not For Me #but i am often left craving something sort of... less defining. more free. more just being what you are and doing what you do #kind of like.. something done for the sake of the story and the art instead of just representation for the sake of representation??? #that is important too!! but kinda craving stuff for us who don't really like labels as well???

Btw playing A's route for the first time with an emotionally constipated detective as the two of them dance between wanting to punch each other and daring to admit they have feelings (cringe, they immediately hate it and repeat the dance) was so great until suddenly I was attached to the asshole and rooting for them

#the wayhaven chronicles #it was a romantic comedy for the first book and a half. and then it was just. #ah shit this is actually really sweet #dont ask me how i have over 100 hours in the first wayhaven book. and yet had never romanced A until now. do NOT.

Last Song: Whatever the last song was at church this morning. Maybe "With One Voice"?

Favourite Colour: Purple

Last Movie/TV Show: I watched some classic Looney Tunes shorts

Sweet/spicy/savoury: Sweet, but lately I have had increasing cravings for salty snacks.

Relationship status: Fine on all fronts

Last internet search: How to spell the first name of William H. Seward's campaign manager/ruthless political boss Thurlow Weed.

Current obsession: After experiencing a lot of museums this week, my history obsession--specifically Lincoln/Civil War history and WWI history--is coming back strong. I've also got a major craving to develop an extremely derivative cozy fantasy universe involving a bunch of different races and characters with cultural/personality clashes.

Tagging: Anyone who has had something sweet to eat today

some ted and rebecca musings in a post-3.04 world

a thought i’m taking away from the ted/rebecca 3.04 interactions--

i think it’s so interesting how rebecca keeps taking too much from ted and yet she’s just not picking up on it. she catches that he’s not quite okay in fleeting moments and she genuinely cares, and i think she likes him so much, but then whenever she’s reminded of her rupert-induced pain, everything else goes out the window. like, i think rebecca has finally accepted as part of her reality that ted is really on her side, even if they’re not the hang-out-all-the-time super-close besties that, say, she and keeley are. maybe it even feels more powerful somehow because it's this polite, almost courtly love-style connection (ft. way more puns than your standard white knightery) but she also knows he’s pretty ride-or-die for her. biscuits with the boss is still going strong after a year and a half! (the mind boggles. think about the logistics of that!) she’s safe with him. and so asking ted to fight for her against rupert, because he’s occupied this sort of guardian angel role in her life for awhile now, feels really natural to her. and because ted has always been so supportive of her and she probably associates him with almost being a salve to the hurt that rupert inflicted on her, i don’t think it’s really occurring to her that this pressure is taking a lot out of him. (and in fairness to rebecca -- as far as we know, he hasn’t told her how he’s doing in detail for a LONG time. and he was the one who said “our” when discussing them vs. rupert in the s2 finale!) but i think that now that he’s spoken up to michelle, he might be on the way -- in the next few episodes -- to reaching his breaking point re: keeping quiet about how rebecca is stressing him out and asking too much of him. (as a friend, if not as her gaffer. and there’s a tricky space to occupy right there!) and i’m not sure how well rebecca would take that at first.

also, just for more agony: how much of their behavior might be informed by their marriages and those relationship patterns?

idk, i just think there’s a lot of good juicy tension and echoes of their s1 conflict going on here and i really hope the rest of the season explores it! please!!!! let jason s and hannah w destroy us with their beautiful acting!!!!! they have the range!!!!!! and maybe it could resolve in, oh, i don’t know, them both getting some experience in healthy communication in a human relationship as they figure it out together!

or rebecca totally got over the rupert thing when she saw him being such a consistent scrub in 3.04 and all of this is already resolved. only next week will tell!

tl;dr -- i like the idea of ted and rebecca having a lot of messy stuff to work through before they get to happier times together. (and the happier times will happen!!!!!! i’m manifesting it!!!!!! 💜) because they have truly accumulated so much mess at this point. and wouldn’t it be a shame to waste it??

#sorry i won't shut up #but you only get the alleged final season of ted lasso once!!!! #(... maybe?) #so i've decided to really be all in #dollsome's deep thoughts #ted x rebecca #tedbecca #ted lasso spoilers #ted lasso #also i saw another post mention that rebecca and ted's and rupert and nate's office scenes were sorta paralleled to each ohter #*other #and the idea of those relationships as foils this season has got me really like '!!!!!!!!!' #oh boy we're in for it #i am normal about this romantic comedy tv program

Love in translation keeps being the highlight of my Saturday's evenings. What a funny and clever little show. The writing is tight, the humor and the emotional beats all land really well, and while conflicts arise regularly it's never dragged unnecessarily making it incredibly satisfying.

I like the way it never treats its characters like idiots. Oh, they can be silly, they make mistakes and get caught in misunderstandings, they can even make stupid decisions. But they notice. They see how others react, they realize when something go wrong, and they react in consequence. None of them is passive in their various relationships and it has been incredibly enjoyable.

Anyway, please give this one a chance it deserves more hype than it is getting! ( ´ ▽ ` ).｡ｏ♡

#Love in translation #it was such a surprise but man I really love it #I have troubles articulating why i like it so much but I'm trying #But it's the fun of a romantic comedy w/o any of the frustration #Words

Only Fair

By Twilightcitysky

“Right,” said Crowley, jiggling his key in the lock. “It’s a bit messy.” Like Aziraphale was coming round to borrow a cup of sugar and had caught him between loads of washing, instead of fleeing, newly fugitive from Heaven, to the only one of their flats that was still standing. Aziraphale rolled his eyes and pushed at the door. “If there is even a single video cassette lying out on the sofa I’ll eat my hat. Your definition of ‘messy’ is forgetting to alphabetise them.” “It’s Blu Rays now,” said Crowley. What a blue ray– which sounded like a fish of some kind– had to do with the demon’s extensive video collection was anyone’s guess. Aziraphale sniffed. There was an odour like burning rubber and scalded saucepan, coming from a black coat on the floor which was managing to also smell like wet dog. Maybe Crowley really did need to do laundry. Was that what Hell smelled like? Aziraphale felt a wave of lightheadedness wash over him. After settling him in the kitchen with a mug of black tea, Crowley explained in a far-off voice that it wasn’t, in fact, his coat, and that he’d had to dispatch his immediate supervisor with holy water in order to escape to a bookshop which incidentally turned out to be empty of angels and on fire. Aziraphale gripped his cup so tightly cracks appeared in the ceramic. Crowley walked over and wrapped his hands around the angel’s white knuckles. Then he cleared his throat, looked away, and said in a thoroughly English manner, “Sorry. Ah. Tea’s too hot. I’ll tip a little out and pour some milk in.” He extracted the mug and brought it to the sink. Aziraphale watched his back, eyes stinging. Crowley had run into an inferno for him. He’d driven through a ring of Hellfire. What had Aziraphale done that could compare to that? Things felt hideously unbalanced between them, like the time they’d exchanged Christmas presents and Crowley had given him a first edition Wind in the Willows in a Bayntun-Riviere binding, at which point Aziraphale had shamefully presented Crowley with a novelty toaster. (Though to be fair Crowley seemed pleased to have a toaster that played Radio 1.) Right, time to even the scales.
