A preview of an Elucien NSFW picture I've drawn. These two are far too much fun for me!!

Elain and Lucien accepting the bond. I know Elain would bake something special. 🍰

Honeyypears created this beautiful art for me and I am so thrilled with it! She was so lovely to work with and it's just what I imagined.

going feral at the thought of elucien having a kanthony moment of “i am a gentleman, and you are a lady” before he’s suffocated in the intoxicating scent of elain, unable to resist as he leans down to press his nose into the jut of her neck. the tension, the inexplicable desire, the longing aghhhhhhhhh !!!!!

@nestaarcheronweek | Day 01: Queen of Queens

“We heard about you down here. You are the one the sea and the wind and the earth whispered of.”

“Nesta.”

“You took from the Cauldron itself.”

“Come with me, Queen of Queens, and we shall return what was once lost.”

-  Chapter 54, A Court of Silver Flames.

Nesta has been referenced more than once as a queen in the books, and perhaps this is a portent for what the future holds for her. Maybe not exactly as queen, but as ruler of the Dusk Court.

In this art, me and Luana wanted to represent Nesta as it's High Lady, holding her two swords: Cauldron made Ataraxia and Starsword/Gwydion. And we couldn't have loved more how @gessueter brought this idea to life.

Okay there are soooo many reblogs here, and I'm new to tumblr so hopefully people can find my answers! Thank you @crazy-ache for tagging me! Also I don't know any other fanfic writers on here besides the ones who have already been tagged (I think), so feel free to reblog and answer the questions if you haven't already!

🍓 How did you get into writing fanfiction?

Wow, it was such a long time ago. I would say back when Harry Potter first came out, I was on the official WB website message boards called the Dialogue Centre posting Hermione/Draco fanfics. My most unhinged fic back then was Dumbledore hosting the Bachelorette TV show at Hogwarts and Hermione was the bachelorette! Then I stepped away from fandoms for a bit until Twilight came out, and I was back on my bullshit. But instead of writing fics, I'd be roleplaying on message boards. I also did some Harry Potter roleplaying and AU fandom mash up roleplaying. Also some Gossip Girl, magical creatures, witches, type of stuff. Again, took a break and came back to fanfic when I first read ACOTAR. I became obsessed with Elucien and have been writing fanfic again ever since.

🍇 How many fandoms have you written in?

If we're also counting roleplaying: Harry Potter, Twilight, Gossip Girl, Supernatural, ACOTAR. I have a few Resident Evil things I wanna write too.

🍈 How many years have you been writing fanfiction?

A WHILE lol... about 20 years off and on

🍅 Do you read or write more fanfiction?

I'd say it's about equal! When I enter a new fandom, I normally read a bunch of fanfics at first and then I get the itch to write my own stuff and then I'm unstoppable xD

🍌 What is one way you've improved as a writer?

I think my overall writing skills have improved in general. Lots of writing equals lots of practice. I also took some writing courses in high school and college which helped a lot!

🍑 Do you have any bad habits as a writer?

I'm not sure if I have any? Maybe getting too obsessed and writing TOO much and avoiding other tasks.

🍉 What's your favorite type of comment to receive on your work?

I love when people give me examples of their favorite parts of the fic. I also feel very honored when people say my writing sounds like the author wrote it. Also when people comment that they have come back to reread something over and over again.

🍋 What is something you've been too nervous or intimidated to write but would love to write one day?

Nothing really! If anything I'm nervous about putting my own personal work out there. I've written the first book of a series and I'm in the process of querying agents!

🍇 What made you choose your username?

I wanted something writer-y. I liked the idea of having infinite story ideas always in my head. And maybe a little inspired by Taylor Swift. I also wanted it to be something that could work across fandoms for when I start branching out to others.

Answer the questions and tag five fanfiction authors you know!

Thank you @metalbvcky. NPT for @mrs-illyrian-baby @doasyoudesireandlive @km-ffluv @labella420

🍓 How did you get into writing fanfiction?

As a teen I was a voracious reader and tried to write my own stuff based on other books I'd read. I also loved ST:TNG and wanted dearly to be in an episode and had lots of the books. I wrote my own ST stories with OC's (gratuitous self inserts), but they never went anywhere. In my late teens I read some Xena fanfic on the internet. But that was it for a great number of years.

At the beginning of 2021 I sat and watched the entirety of the MCU films in chronological order (I'd seen most of them before and was mainly a Thor gal.) I fell down the Stucky rabbithole. Deep. I decided to look up fanfic. AO3 was now a thing! I wrote (a very poor) Stucky fic and here we are, almost 3 years later

🍇How many fandoms have you written in?

As my ST stuff never made it further than my parent's old PC in the days of dial-up, I won't count it.

I've written for MCU, various Chris Evans and Seb Stan Characters and one fic for RWRB. I've been toying with writing a one-off Criminal Minds fic as a gift for a friend.

🍈How many years have you been writing fanfiction?

Three in July since I first published anything on AO3.

🍎Do you read or write more fanfiction?

I try to balance it out. If I have a period of hyperfocus writing I try to then go through a period of reading. I read on both Tumblr and AO3, so try to keep that even as well.

🍌What is one way you've improved as a writer?

Getting betas to pick me up on tense changes, overuse of words and rogue commas. Reading more. Practising. Writing outlines for longer stories so I don't go off-piste.

🍑Do you have any bad habits as a writer?

Getting bored half-way through a long fic, especially if the first few parts haven't had a lot of interaction. Which is why I try to write the whole thing before I start posting.

🍍 What's the weirdest topic you researched for a writing project?

Engineering courses at MIT and, for a separate fic, Violet wands, including the ways to use them and the differnt types of accessories you can use with them. I even watched a Youtube video.

🍉What's your favourite type of comment to receive on your work?

Any comment! Anything that gives me the validation I need!

🍐What's the most fringe trope/topic you write about?

I wrote a transformation into Tsum-tsum fic that was both cracky and smutty. That's pretty niche.

🥭What is the hardest type of story for you to write?

Action scenes. I loathe them. I'm constantly wondering if they are long enough, and make sense.

🍏What is the easiest type?

Short things that are either PWP or fluffy slices of life.

🍑Where do you do your writing? What platform? When?

Mainly on my elderly laptop on G-Docs, and in every moment I can - normally afterwork before dinner and on Mondays when I don't have work.

🍋What is something you've been too nervous/intimidated to write, but would love to write one day?

There are a few characters and ships I haven't written that I'd like to. And I suppose I'd like to write a proper long, over 100k fic at some point.

🍇 what made you choose your username?

When I made my AO3 account I felt as though that at 40, and only really starting in Fandom in this way, I was late to the party, so that is who I became.

holy shit holy shit holy shit. THE ELUCIEN CUDDLES FANART YOU DID WAS EVERYTHING. Thank you so so so so much! I love that little ship with all my heart and your art is just so perfect, it's just precisely how I picture them both and you capture them so well. A+++ headcanon too, it's so cute. anyway, I am rambling at this point, I apologise, I just had to come and yell at you for that art. I stared at it for a good solid five minutes and it really cheered me up so thank you again!

For you my darling, for being such a sweetheart (and because I will take any excuse to draw Elucien)

[infinitefolklore]

On the nights it gets cold and sleep doesn't come easy to her, Elain can be seen walking around late at night with a coat wrapped around her.

Though most of the scent on the coat has faded, Elain lifts up her arm and smells the little spot still there that has the scent of her mate. It instantly calms and brings comfort to her.

Elain then will venture back to her room where she will lay down and curl around the coat as she drifts off into a dream where Lucien has her wrapped in his arms while she sleeps.

Lucien being the one to spend time with the girls father was done with intention. Elain being the one closest to their father was done with intention.

He's going to help Elain the most with her continued grief over the death of her father. Because there is no way she's over his death.

Lucien more than likely has some stories he could tell her of his time with him. I bet he also got told some things about Elain from her father, which only endured him towards her. Which is why he continues to try to be there for her in any capacity, even with the distance between them.

I also do wonder if he made a promise to her father to protect and look after Elain if something happened to him. I just know if something was to happen with Elain, and she needed him, he'd be there in a heartbeat for her 💖

You know what I love most about Gwynriel?

The POTENTIAL.

They might not have the "romantic" looks, gestures, etc, at the moment but I love my romance to happen on page so I can fall in love at the same time they do. Their friendship to lovers story is going to be sooooo good. I just know it.

And their story is more than likely going to be my favorite love story to happen on page, next to Elucien of course. I can't wait to read them slowly falling for each other after everything they've both been through 🥰

"Azriel dipped his head in a sketch of a bow, something restless settling in him. Even his shadows had calmed. As if content to lounge on his shoulders and watch."

"Gwyn nodded her farewell, again facing the ribbon. A warrior sizing up an opponent..."

Gone was the ill-suited black dress from the ball, replaced by a gown of amethyst velvet, her hair half-up and curling down to her waist. She glowed with good health.

Antis often dismiss Cassian's statement about how the Night Court's black drained the life out of Elain, questioning its significance. However, even Nesta acknowledged that the Night Court's black was ill-suited for her sister, observing that another color made her glow with good health—a color associated with another court.

The court her mate is heir to.

The sun personified. Powerful, lazy with grace, capable of kindness and wrath. Nearly as beautiful as Rhysand. And somehow—somehow colder than Kallias. His High Fae entourage was almost as large as ours, clad in similar robes of varying rich dyes—cobalt and crimson and amethyst—some with expertly kohl-lined eyes, all of them fit and gleaming with health.

And look, cobalt is one of them too. Elain has now worn two of these colors directly and if you want to argue, pink is a hue of crimson.

[infinitefolklore]

"Don't you FUCKING touch her."

I imagine the most feral Lucien when his mate is in danger. I love how SJM has described Lucien during moments of his intensity. His hair glowing like it's molten fire, his russet eye glowing!!! Hnnnggg I need for this man to let loose. He's had so much stacked up against him, so PLEASE, let's see the heir of Day!!!

[infinitefolklore]

I do think it’s kind of hilarious that this is the very first time Elain is mentioned by name in the first book:

And it’s also one of her earliest speaking lines:

And what does her mate do the very first time they meet?

He gives her a new coat 😂

[infinitefolklore]

FRIENDLY REMINDER: LUCIEN PROBABLY GOT PAPA ARCERON’S BLESSING TO BE WITH ELAIN 😭

I know that Elain will have internal battles about her father’s death in her novel. Elain was probably the only sister who loved her father unconditionally. Even Feyre knew that Elain was the special child, the one whom their father adored.

I also think it is so beautiful that Lucien went on an entire adventure with Papa Archeron. I think about the fact that he most likely gave his blessing to Lucien to be with Elain 😭

Out of all the mated males, Lucien was the only one that got close to Papa Archeron. I think his blessing will mean the world to Elain. Even though it is not something necessary ( which the elriels will claim) I know that Elain will hold that to her heart forever.

I am just so ready for them to completely open up after all these years. I know Elain will love the story about Lucien’s adventure with her father. It will be incredible.

[infinitefolklore]

it might because im ovulating but i really wanna see lucien sweaty and bloody as he pants raggedly. preferably shirtless, even better if his hair is all mused up with that effortless just got laid look and those smouldering hooded eyes.
