"I love you. Even when we are a whisper of existence among the stars."

Feyre and Rhysand's Secret Mating Ceremony commissioned by me with the amazingly talented Artcraawl (link to art post here).

taylor swift saw 16 year old me on my bedroom floor praying to god wholeheartedly for the first time when the man who taught me what it felt like to be loved left me and wrote 'the prophecy'

[booksforlions]

I’d like to present: Lucien giving away his coats

Acotar, Chapter 39:

Acomaf, chapter 65:

Acowar, chapter 7

Acowar, chapters 11 & 12

Lucien when he becomes the next male love interest after seeing how Rhysand and Cassian treat their mates:

[booksforlions]

The Inner Circle only tolerates Feyre because she's Rhysand's mate.

Lucien was Feyre's first friend in the Fae world. He loves her for her.

The Inner Circle "befriended" Fae Feyre.

Lucien befriended Feyre when she was still human.

The Inner Circle refuses to call her out on anything, insisting she's always in the right (unless she questions Rhysand).

Lucien, like any true friend should do, is not afraid to call Feyre out on her shit.

The Inner Circle acts like Rhysand is a fucking angel.

Lucien was the only one who brought up Feyre's sexual assault under the mountain and questioned Rhysand's morals.

Y'all can't compete.

me externally: you know what, i’m done with dating and relationships. dating is mentally exhausting and every relationship i’ve been in has been so emotionally damaging. right now, being by myself is what’s best for me

me internally:

[booksforlions]

— we know about you here. you are the one about whom the sea, the wind and the Earth whispered. — he shuddered. — Nesta.

— мы здесь слышали о тебе. ты та, о ком шептали море, ветер и земля. — он содрогнулся. — Неста.

Elain Archeron Unknown Moodboard

What goes in might not come out entirely, they say, but they don’t talk about what they could bring along with them once they’re out.

@elainarcheronweek day 1: Powers

Elain is a seer in the acotar world, but we also get hints that there is more to her. Maybe some underlying power?

I like this open door to uncertainty about her, so I decided to make a moodboard to represent this. A moodboard that feels unsettling and odd. Something’s up with her, something happened when she was in the Cauldron, but nobody knows. Maybe not even Elain herself..

Light Witch Elain Archeron Moodboard

The seer who sees what shouldn’t be seen, knows what she never wished to know.

“Fresh white flowers and a new tea light

Nine cups of water, still water

Soon I’ll see your face

Don’t know why I ever thought you were far away

I should’ve known better”
