All of this focus on Azriel’s horny feelings for Elain, but can we please talk about how Elain completely led her moment with Az in the bonus chapter?

Elain closed the distance, and her breathing quickened as she again paused, now a scant foot away.

Azriel let his shadows whisk away the box as she said softly, "Put it on me?"

His head went quiet. But he took the necklace, opening the clasp as she exposed her back, sweeping her hair up in one hand to bare her long, creamy neck.

Azriel's fingers lingered at her nape, atop the first knob of her spine. Slowly, Elain pivoted into his touch. Until his palm lay flat against her neck.

"I should go," Elain said, but made no move to leave.

Her arousal drifted up to him, and his eyes nearly rolled back in his head at the sweet scent. He'd beg on his knees for a chance to taste it.

Elain shuddered, drifting closer. So close one deep breath would brush her breasts against his chest.

“Yes" Elain breathed, like she read the decision. Just this taste in the dead of the longest night of the year, where only the Mother might witness them.

Elain's mouth parted slightly, her eyes scanning his before fluttering shut.

Offer and permission.

Girlie went for what she wants and Azriel, ever the gentleman, read her cues perfectly and only took what she offered. I love a couple built with respect and mutual attraction, there’s truly nothing hotter.

omg love this post so much

The anti-Elriels often forget that these characters don't just randomly find themselves in situations and act accordingly. SJM orchestrates it. It's all purposefully written.

So to those who say that Azriel rescuing Elain from Hybern wasn't romantic (it IS) or that he was just doing his job (he wasn't) - ask yourselves this - why Azriel then?

SJM could have just as easily sent Azriel to go retrieve Vassa. "Who better to find her then the Spymaster? He has eyes and ears everywhere, if anyone can locate her it's him." And she could have just as easily made it Lucien who stuck around, noticed Elain was missing, and insisted on going to save her, regardless of the threat of death.

He could have winnowed to the edge of the camp. Used his "slyness" to sneak through and find her. And finally, use his heritage as SPELL CLEAVER and his magical eye, to break the wards which did not allow anyone to winnow out. And boom, he winnows himself, Elain, and Briar to safety, and Feyre winnows herself out too.

Then it could have been Elain and Lucien who shared a moment. Maybe she doesn't want him as a mate, but she can't help but be thankful to him for his rescue. CCan't help but admire his courage, his bravery, his resourcefulness in getting them out.

But she DIDN'T. She wrote Az and Elain. Az rescuing her. Az carrying ehr. Elain kicking the hounds off Azriel's back. Elain kissing Azriel's cheek. This didn't just happen on accident. This was intentional. And Eluciens and Gwynriels alike love to pretend that it was just chance.

Azriel can’t sleep because he’s thinking about Elain .

Azriel trains at night because he can’t stop thinking about Elain .

Azriel doesn’t go to family dinners because of Elain .

Azriel doesn’t see his family anymore because Of Elain .

Azriel stays away from Elain because he feels too much for her and can’t stand the smell of her mating bond.

Azriel pleasures himself at night because he can’t stop thinking about Elain .

Azriel wants Elain so bad that his bones tighten.

Azriel was in pain on solstice at the sight of Elain and Lucien .

Azriel moved out of the river house because he was afraid that he was going to make a move or confess his feelings to Elain ( very similar to what cassian was about to do with Nesta ).

Azriel’s willing to do a blood dual for Elain and risk his life again for her .

Azriel’s razor sharp thoughts stop when he’s around Elain just like Nesta’s sharp thoughts stop around cassian.

Azriel questioned fate for Elain.

Azriel is insecure of his scars but when he touched Elain’s neck she leaned into him not being bothered by his scars .

Azriel wants Elain and he’s willing to go over Rhys’s head to be with her .

Azriel wants to be with Elain despite her having a mate .

Azriel was willing to kiss Elain even though he mate was upstairs.

Azriel is willing to risk everything for Elain.

Azriel stared at the headache power that Elain gave him for a whole year

How can you say he wants her for sex when he does all this. This man is in love with her and there’s no doubt about it , no one can tell me otherwise( it was dumb to expect a love confession in a bonus chapter).

If you don’t like Elriel please scroll, this is not for you .

I feel like Sarah knew what she was doing when she wrote that line 😅

Azriel saying "hold thight and don't make a sound" to Elain (rescue in ACOWAR) better make a come-back because I died when I read that line.

Not me listening to the ACOFAS Graphic Audiobook at work and audibly gasping at the potato dish scene like it's not on my personal top 10. "Sit, I'll take care of it." Yes sir. I'm sat.

[amitynotpity]

his reply to Gwyn..I’m fucking dead 😭

Elain and Azriel 🤭

Gwyn and Azriel 🥴

He is more than willing to reach out for Elain than Gwyn. That is canon.

“SJM ended elriel with the bonus chapter”

You mean the chapter we get canon confirmation they are romantically interested in each other? Where azriel questions why she was given to another?(the same way Rowan questioned that about aelin)…

I think people have selective memory..

✨Let’s look at the ending of acotar…Feyre goes home with Tamlin, bumping uglies and all happy and in love. While rhysand goes to the Nc and is all sad over her…. Yet look at how much changed in acomaf and they ended up together…✨

✨Lets look at the ending of Acofas…Nesta rejects cassian left and right and wants nothing to do w him he even throws her gift away. They go their seperate ways and don’t see each other for months on end. She infact is sleeping w other dudes when Acosf begins… yet they ended up together..✨

(Funny enough… when cassian met emerie in acofas at the same time nesta rejects anything from him people were CONVINCED this was foreshadowing Cassian and emerie… sound familiar?)

Also it’s wild how antis say the azriel bonus ch is seen as their love story being ended but yet at the end of acosf Lucien is off happy living w Vassa and Jurian. Elain is into Azriel and making moves on him with Lucien in the same house where he could walk by and see and she don’t care. But this isn’t seen as ending a love story ?! The math ain’t mathing…

love this

Azriel, who murders / tortures people for a living just canonically blushing like a fucking school boy because the softest girl in Prythian™ calls him ‘beautiful’ after dinner one night or whatever.

[amitynotpity]

Even though I've been away from the fandom for a long time, I was always thinking about Elriel in the back of my mind. I guess this is my Roman Empire.

[amitynotpity]

i’m so happy

she’s a swiftie, she’s obsessed with rhys, she’s feeling like “having a crush and you're thinking about them constantly” while writing elain’s the next acotar novel. she’s just like me fr

[amitynotpity]

I spent like two and a half hours today just fucking with the colors and lighting. Bluer light? Yellower light? Solid color rectangle? Gradients? Yes shadows/no shadows, black chains/white chains?

I still don’t know if this is what I wanted or not.  But if I don’t post it I will never stop.

I love how Feyre when she saw Cassian looking at Nesta was like *squints* huh

She saw Azriel lookint at Elain in the garden and was like: interesting

No one ships her sisters with bat boys more than Feyre does

I have three modes of reading

Dont read

Read a 500 page book in a day

Read only fanfiction until my eyeballs drop out of my skull from exhaustion

[amitynotpity]

No, because I’m actually right.

Warning- another rambling, self indulgent post.

So, I’ve been around a while and been a part of shipping in many different fandoms, and I’ve always been like ship what characters you want and be happy. We don’t all have to agree or convince each other.

I say this because I’m about to give my humble opinion on a few acotar ships, and if you are a g*ynriel who happens to come across this, go on and be happy with your ship. Write your fanfics, draw your art. I’m glad you’ve found a bit of joy and distraction from this crazy world.

Also I am open to all kinds of fun pairings. I mean I am writing an Elain x Rhys fanfic, and I desperately want to find time to write an Aida’s x Elain little fic in my mind. I like Gwyn and Tarquin though I have no reason to, and after reading Every Rose, Gwyn x Eris has made me raise my eyebrow. Elain/Mor, Gwyn/emerie, etc… there are all kinds of ships I could enjoy, but I like reading comprehension and good stories the best so….

Gw*nriwel

This is the one ship I just cannot do. I don’t know if it’s the power dynamic between the two, or the fact she is described like an adolescent in the book (coltish and young) but the thought of her and Az is just not my thing. I like the character fine, though she is written a little suspicious.

If this happens, I can’t see it being some grand love story that spans a book. I think it would have to be in the background like Amren/Varian or a hint of it happening in the future. I could be wrong. This will never be my thing, and I have no interest in reading a story about them. I’m not going to cry or rage. I’ll just move on.

El*cien

Honestly, I could see SJM making me like this fine. I like both characters, and I’m sure she could do some sort of forced proximity/ arranged marriage thing or something. But it would have to be an Elain/ Lucien POV book which means we wouldn’t get Azriel’s story. (It just feels like a book only about him would be out of place in this series)

If this happens, I’m open to it. It will never be my favorite but eh, I could see it being entertaining.

Vassien

Yes! Please! I don’t know why, but I really want this. I want to learn more about Vassa and there is something about Lucien finding his place and falling in love with a human. I mean I know he will probably end up in Day, but being chosen is what he needs.

Elriel

I went into acotar cold, completely unspoiled for the most part. I took it very much as it is read, and I just accepted Elain/Azriel were a thing. Then I started seeing the TikTok’s, reading the tweets, coming here, and I was like WTH.

I read the bonus chapter and what I got out of it was that Az and Elain want each other bad, snd Gwyn has some sus powers. That’s it.

When it comes down to it, some of the most beautiful writing/imagery in the book has to do with Elain/Az. And can we please have a friends to lovers, chosen, somewhat healthy relationship? Can we have a spy novel and learn more about the twins? I mean if they end up being mates, fine, but I want them to choose each other before knowing it.

There is just so much to do with them that would make a good story. Rhys telling Azriel to stay away, Elain’s powers, and her hints of being a spy, her being able to wield truth teller and killing the king by stepping out of a dang shadow, the court politics (you can’t tell me Beron wouldn’t want to find a way to get to Elain’s powers by declaring she is his son’s mate and belongs in Autumn) There is just to much more..

And honestly if this doesn’t happen in some form, none of their interactions, or that blasted bonus chapter will make sense. If it’s not at least addressed there will be so much left hanging that it will be ridiculous.

Also three “brothers” three sisters is not overdone, and it goes with the theme. It’s hinted so much not only in acotar but in CC2 as well, SJM might as well just came out and said it. The three most powerful Illyrians ever found each other and stumbled upon three Made sisters. Three stars, three mountains and this:

Two intersecting triangles. Male and female, dark and light, above and below … and the power that lies in the place where they meet.”

I mean come on…

But seriously ship who you want (well maybe not Elain/tamlin, please) but be kind.
