I think Elain would thrive having her own circle. Feyre has Rhys and the Inner Circle of the Night Court. Nesta has Cassian and the Valkyries. Both women have a mate they know and love, but they also have friends of their own. Yes, it could be argued that Feyre and Rhys have the same friends, but she also has her art studio and business partner. She's branched out. She's built a full, fulfilling life, and has had the freedom to.

So has Nesta. She has Cassian. She has Gwyn and Emerie. She has her own home and her own purpose.

Elain was social as a human. She had friends, and she had a fiance she thought loved her. All of that was ripped away from her when she was Made.

She will always love her family--the Night Court is part of her extended family now as well, but she needs something that is hers. She needs her gardens, but she also needs her own purpose, her own people, her own love, and her own life.

She's trying to bloom where she's planted, but she can't. It's not working. She faces the window because she needs sunlight and a bigger world beyond it. She wants more--she's said as much.

If/when she does start falling for Lucien, she will flourish. The broader the world becomes again, the more trusting she becomes of herself/gains confidence, and a growing sense of purpose and fulfillment.

I could see her befriending Vassa and Jurian--two humans who absolutely know what she's going through.

I could see her warming to Lucien and opening up to him. Realizing what a genuinely good, sweet, gentle, and intelligent male he is. Watching him seamlessly and cleverly maneuver through a crowd like the most regal and elegant of emissaries, and tying back his hair, rolling up his sleeves, and catching fish in the stream with his bare hands and knowing exactly how to cook it. Being thoroughly overwhelmed by how good he looks in the firelight while they camp, and trusting herself--trusting him--enough that she realizes she's falling in love.

I could see her immediately hitting it off with the Lady of Autumn (and the Lady loving her/treating her like the daughter she never had). They would, of course, tease Lucien good-naturedly.

Helion would love her, and I think he would immediately see through the pretty face and know there's more to her than gardens and frivolous parties.

I could see Eris genuinely liking her too and being comically warm towards her in comparison to how he treats others (and Lucien never being entirely sure whether this is partly to get under his skin or not).

If I'm being honest, I could see Tamlin liking her quite a bit too once he gets past the whole Archeron thing and whatever hurt/anger he still feels towards Lucien.

I want to see her have it all.

@lucienweekofficial Day 5 - Family

I wanted to do different families Lucien had over the years. So we have: 1. Baby Lucien with his mom 2. Lucien with Jesminda 3. Lucien with Tamlin 4. Lucien with his Band of Exiles

the way this fandom is sleeping on Vassien.

In the story of swan lake, a princess (cough Vassa) is enslaved to an evil sorcerer. Only an act of faithful love can break the spell on her. While cursed, she forms an attachment with a prince.

The sorcerer bespells another woman to take on the form of the princess, in an effort to fool the prince and keep the princess his captive forever.

But by still falling for the princess instead the other woman, or let's say, Lucien willingly choosing to walk away from his mating bond to be with Vassa, an act of true, faithful love occurs- and the curse on the princess/Vassa is finally broken.

(Don't even get me started on how SJM made a cursed woman become immortal via her curse in CC3. Happily ever after, indeed.)

It's a hella romantic story actually.

lucien, having to be subjected to jurian and vassa's arguments that are just thinly veiled sexual innuendos and flirting attempts while his mate currently won't give him the time of day:

It's so poetic that the next ships are about how beautiful redheads found love. I so need to find a picture where Jurian, Elain and Azriel talk about how they love their redheads and how they love touching their fiery hair.

Thinking about how Elain grieves for her human life--the one that was taken from her.

Thinking about how Lucien travels to the human lands alone, without any backup, and without fear on the chance what Elain saw could help them. Him having faith in that vision; in her.

How Lucien has grown comfortable with humans; with the Band of Exiles.

How Vassa and Jurian are both in their own way a bridge between those worlds.

How Lucien now is too.

How Elain could be, as well.

How she could have a Fae body, a Fae mate, and a human life.

@lucienweekofficial Day 1 - Exile

Taking the prompt very literally for this one.

"What does the Band of Exiles even do?" The Band of Exiles:

(Based on this amazing stock photoshoot I couldn't get out of my head.)

Lucien was mentally abused by his “father”, he was mentally and phisically abused by his own brother (or half brothers), excluded maybe by Eris.

He saw his first love murdered in front of him, the person he loved the most.

He lost an eye because of Amarantha.

For awhile he was happy and he found a home in the spring court but he was Tamlin’s victim too. He was mentally and physically abused by him for years

He literally almost died to save Feyre’s life UTM.

Lucien was Tamlin’s victim too. An emotional toxic friendship. Tamlin litelly obeyed him to do the Rite and he was SEXUALLY ABUSED by Iantahe (several times).

He found out that his mate was Elain and not Jesminda and he was SHOCKED and then he was willing to die in the war. Lucien went on a mission to find Vassa.

He is unaware that Helion is his real father and I bet when Helion found out, he’s gonna kill Beron and taking his revenge. Lucien deserved to know about this, deserved to be loved by a proper father for once.

He trusted the IC, I like to think they’re friends, literally during acosf Lulu, Cassian & Rhys were talking about sports (I need that scene from Lucien’s pov). Cassian was sad for Lucien for the situation w Elain.

Rhys is definitely Team Lucien, (just for political reason but still)

He found his family, his found family with the Band of Exiles.

lucien Vanserra deserved the best, deserves an happy ending.

vassa and jurian are gonna be so exciting together

Can we just stop and take a second to appreciate the absolute comedic genius that SJM has set up for us in an Elucien book?

We have "It only goes to her head when you call her that" (for love interests) and "She shouldn't be any of yours, either, considering she's probably been fucked by half the Illyrian army by now," (while pretending to be the enemy) Jurian, who managed to fool both Rhys and the King of Hybern with his double agent scheming.

We have Queen "rolls her eyes at Jurian as if he's not worth her time, all but demanded the High Lady of the NC help her, and shrugged her shoulders when Nesta refused to respond" Vassa.

We have "I didn't realize Illyrians were in the habit of fucking their sisters" Eris who is willing to subject himself to torture in order to preserve the relationship with his allies and continue on his path to get rid of his abusive father.

We have "I am not a child to be fought over", "I hope they all burn in hell", "The new Amren is even crankier than the old one," she poured a finger of amber-colored liquor into a glass and knocked back the contents with a grimace" Elain Archeron.

We have "Would you like me to teach you how to wield a blade, or do you already know how, oh mighty mortal huntress," "a cork popped, followed by the sounds of Lucien chugging the bottle's contents," "Your eyes are like stars, and your hair like burnished gold," "Unfortunately for you and your neck, tonight's just a party," "If I offer you the moon on a string, will you give me a kiss, too?" Lucien Vanserra.

And that'll all be rounded out by a soon to be revealed father / father-in-law who wants to enter cities on golden chariots led by snow-white horses with manes of golden fire.

Has there ever been a lineup quite like that with such incredibly big personalities? 😂

SJM said writing banter is one of her favorite things and I can't imagine she wouldn't be in her element writing their story for us.

Why is everyone saying Az will have the next book?

Did we all just forget about Tower of Dawn and how it deviated from the main story only for the end of it to go right back to the main plot?

Yeah, okay, it's extremely probable that he could. Im not saying that. There is definitely evidence of his book being next. We seem to forget that SJM keeps us on our toes. And it's possible the book could be Elains. That Sarah will pull away from the central plot to focus on Elain, Lucien, the Mortal lands, The Autumn Court, Vassa, and Koschei, and then that bleeds into the whole plot of acotar.
