The depth of E/riel's love delves so profoundly into the forbidden trope that even SJM disapproves of it and created a new character to serve as his love interest.

I just read Azriel’s bonus chapter and Oh My God I was not expecting that. Like, I’m not sure what I was expecting but it wasn’t that. I should have known, he does have the biggest . . . wingspan.

This is my first fic that I have ever posted! I am so nervous and excited to share it with you all! I started reading Wildfire by Hannah Grace and was immediately inspired to create this little Gwynriel piece!

Read a little snippet below the cut! Hope you enjoy! ♥️

“Are you a burglar?” She jumps, turning towards him.

At the first full glimpse of her face, Azriel completely loses his breath. She has wide, moon bright eyes, the color of the Mediterranean sea. Freckles decorate a pert, upturned nose. And her lips, the color of rose petals, parted on a gasp, turn upwards in a small smile. A sweet blush dusts her cheeks and nose, keeping her freckles company.

“Sorry, you startled me.” Her teeth sink into her plush bottom lip, as she glances down and then back up, doing a quick perusal of him. Azriel does his best not to squirm under her bright eyes, giving himself an internal pep talk. Cool, Az, keep it cool.

“Does it count as burglary if I never intend for the stolen goods to leave the property?”

Azriel hums in response. “Valid question. I wish I studied law so I could answer for you.”

She shrugs a delicate shoulder, looking at him conspiratorially.

“Surely if the owner never finds out, I’m okay, right?”

“How about you tell me what you’re looking for and then I’ll decide if I need to report you to the authorities?”

She scuffs the bottom of her shoe against the tile, fighting a smile, and leaning back against the counter behind her.

“I just wanted a glass. I don’t like to use plastic, if I can help it,” she says, gesturing to the kitchen island littered with plastic solo cups. “Do you know how much single use plastic ends up in the ocean? How damaging it is to the delicate ecosystems?” Her eyes glow as she describes the different kinds of animals in the oceans she wants to protect with this crusade through his kitchen for a glass and Azriel decides whatever cause makes her face light up like that, he’s on board.

He pushes past her towards the cupboard by the sink and grabs a glass for her without a word. She takes it, glancing up to meet his eyes.

“You…live here…don’t you?”

He pushes down a laugh, unsuccessfully.

“Yes.”

She nods, pulling her lips into her mouth, an adorable look on her face. Her cheeks tinge pink again and Azriel thinks that he could get used to causing that flush across her face.

Normally I try not to be overly controversial in my posts and I do try to stick with what I think SJM would do based on her patterns.  I like to analyze the books as they’ve been written rather than saying “well I think this should happen because it just seems the right way to go about it”.  

This one sort of goes against all that though because it’s basically narrowing the characters down to their traumas and "what” they are on an observable level rather than considering who they are despite all of that (and acknowledging all the other factors that contribute to their entire self).  I also don’t claim that SJM shares this same view.  It’s completely my opinion and my opinion alone.  This post simplifies things in a way that I normally don’t like to do when it surrounds things that are considered TW.    

There are a million other reasons I think Elucien is endgame.  They are written in a way that’s beautifully compatible and share similar core values and that’s already enough to convince me.  Without that though, Lucien is a SA survivor, a disabled Biracial male, and a sort of Domestic Abuse survivor too (considering Tamlin threatened him with his power on multiple occasions and has also physically assaulted him for no good reason and he experienced abuse at the hands of Beron and his brothers).  I’d be surprised for an author to give her MMC a backstory with so many things that are considered sensitive subjects only to have his “Cauldron Given” Mate (the thing that is supposed to be the most sacred to these Fae) reject him for a Male who really doesn’t seem to care whether he kills him or not.  

Anti’s always says, “it’s Elain’s choice!” but Elain’s choice could still include her Mate by the end of things.  Our choices change as we grow so trying to box her into one decision before she even knows who she is is a bit odd.  

And Elain is not the only character SJM cares for.  Lucien has been a MAJOR player in nearly every book so he’s not in this series to end up a casualty of one of the FMC.  And having Elain reject her Mate who is a SA survivor, DA survivor, and a disabled biracial Male for Az who is not her Mate (and will therefore not be subjected to live the rest of his life feeling the pains of an unfulfilled Mating Bond) would be really disheartening. 

In the same vein, Gwyn is not only a SA survivor.  There is so much more to her beyond something that happened to her so her story shouldn’t be decided based off that and that alone.  But, I do think creating a storyline where the first (non taken) Male she interacted with after her assault was Azriel, where she shows obvious comfort being near him alone though she’s still hesitant to leave the library, where she’s shown flirtation toward him, only to have him end up with Elain over her in the end would read as a little callous towards Gwyn. 

Maybe I’m not understanding where SJM is going with everything but to me, she doesn’t seem like the kind of author to put those things into her book only to be like, “sorry, no Mate for you” in the end.  She loves HEA (as most of us do) and having a character like Lucien, for the rest of his life, being forced to accept that his Mate rejected him doesn’t seem like her style.  

Now, if SJM does go the route of E/riel, I’m not going to come after her with a pitchfork and accuse her of being disrespectful towards those sensitive subjects because at the end of the day, these are fantasy books and difficult things happen to every character.  In the end, she’s going to write about whatever felt right for her, regardless of who she wrote certain characters to be or the backstory’s she’s given them.  And I get that, she shouldn’t have to base who ends up with who on what we consider morally acceptable. 

But for Elain and Lucien to have a happy Mating Bond (which is still a very real possibility)? To have Gwyn and Az share the same? Why wouldn't you want to see that for characters who have struggled so much?

When it comes to Elriel, people tend to forget the fact that Az's shadows disappeared in front of Elain.

The shadows like Gwyn and they stayed with her in the bonus chapter of ACOSF!!!!

I think that SJM will def make Gwyn and Az endgame!!!!!!

Let's delve into the matter of the necklace.

I, for one, cannot comprehend why the necklace isn't a significant issue for E/riels, as it essentially signifies the end of this ship.

"What's wrong with a regifted necklace?"

My confusion lies in their willingness to overlook key character traits to make their ship plausible.

Azriel is renowned for his reserved nature. Consequently, every word he utters carries substantial weight, and he does not feel compelled to sugarcoat his statements.

Azriel is highly unlikely to oppose Rhys, especially after Rhys asserted his authority. Rhys rarely interferes in the affairs of his inner circle, trusting their judgment implicitly.

Rhys even advised Feyre to leave the complex Mor/Cassian/Azriel dynamic alone.

This is why it is crucial to consider why he felt compelled to intervene. Whether it's for political reasons, empathy, or preventing his friend from making a mistake, his intervention carries significant weight.

On the other hand, it's possible that Rhysand forcefully affirmed Azriel's choice to move on from his feelings for Elain.

The distinction lies in how Azriel approached Elain and Gwyn regarding the necklace.

What stands out in Elain's section of his chapter is the heightened sexual tension in the text.

He mentioned nothing about searching for the necklace for Elain, pondering whether he should give it to her, or any feelings of longing—a characteristic often highlighted in SJM's depiction of mates.

Consider Lucien's absence from the Solstice celebration the previous year.

Where is the yearning that he couldn't spend time with her as he did the previous year? The bitterness of being reminded that she can never be fully his? The fact that this female who finally helped him move on from Mor after 500 years is has been mated to someone else? Or that he's closely associating with his brothers, as though he's already part of his family? There's nothing about how hard he tried to select the perfect gift for her, the worry about whether she'd like it, or the pride that his present might outshine her mate's.

All we get is his aversion to their bond, his desire to pleasure her, and his feeling of unworthiness to touch her.

Of particular note is his vivid imagination of Elain's reaction as he enters her.

Was Rhys wrong to suggest finding a pleasure house when Azriel's thoughts about Elain were consistently sexual?

When given an opportunity to explain himself to Rhysand, regardless of Rhys's apparent disinterest, what did Azriel offer?

He expressed his unfiltered thoughts about how he felt regarding Elain.

"Why wasn't the third sister given to me? What if the Cauldron is wrong?"

Azriel didn't even bother to use her name, which makes it all the more significant. After all, his two brothers found mates in the two sisters, so why wasn't the third sister given to him, the third brother?

Yet, there was no mention of her progress, his feelings when he's with her, or their compatibility.

While Azriel is entitled to question the Cauldron, in that sentence alone, he undermines his brothers' bonds due to his own doubt.

In contrast, Feyre's stance has evolved. She no longer advocates for Azriel and Elain. Instead, she encourages Elain to give her bond with Lucien a chance and asks Lucien to be patient with Elain. This implies that her question to Rhys has been answered—Lucien and Elain are well-matched, even after observing Azriel and Elain interact during Solstice.

Lucien was willing to risk his life to protect Feyre from Rhysand on two occasions. He argued with Feyre to take him to his mate.

Why couldn't Azriel argue with Rhys about why Elain should have been his mate when he had opposed and defied Rhys on other issues?

The most telling aspect is that Azriel couldn't provide an answer when Rhys asked, "what of Mor?"

Mor was Rhys's reasoning for why he didn't think Elain and Azriel would work, as Rhys believed that Azriel had been waiting for their bond to snap. Mor even mentioned that Azriel had had lovers while he pined for her.

Azriel allowed his cold rage to surface, a rage he only ever revealed to Rhysand, knowing that his brother could match it, but he couldn't respond to any of Rhys's questions.

Lucien didn’t back down from Rhys, Cassian and Azriel until Rhys explained to Lucien that all of this was Feyre’s choice.

Now, moving on to Gwyn.

It's regrettable that we can't compare how he converses with Elain to how he interacts with Gwyn. I'll be fair and assume their brief answers stem from their awareness that they're about to engage in something they perceive as wrong.

So, let's emphasize that he never thought he was tarnishing Gwyn's body with hands that had committed unspeakable deeds when he was teaching her. Both acknowledged what he had done to save her, without shame. They understood and then continued their conversation, with Azriel adding more words after his initial one-word response.

Furthermore, he's the one who keeps attempting to engage Gwyn in conversation, even when she mentions that she's trying to cut the ribbon. He lied to Gwyn about his reason for being there, but he couldn't deceive Elain about why he needed to leave?

Elain made him laugh once. How many times did Gwyn make him laugh during their brief interaction?

He felt inadequate around Elain, but he's at ease with Gwyn. He respects Gwyn and truly sees her for who she aspires to be, just as Gwyn sees him for his true self—the side he tries to conceal. She thanks him for it.

And here's the kicker: while he imagined how Elain's face might look when he enters her, he thought about how Gwyn's teal eyes might light up upon receiving the necklace.

His arousal was evident when Elain wore the necklace, but he felt a spark in his chest when he imagined Gwyn receiving it.

He described the necklace as a thing of secret, lovely beauty, and that's how his bonus chapter concluded as he walked away, envisioning how Gwyn would react when she received it.

I will acknowledge that several Elriel moments did occur, but they were not further explored in ACOSF. Azriel made it clear that he believed staying away from Elain was the right choice, and this decision happened without a proper conversation between them to explain why.

Azriel himself asserted his decision on what Elain should do with her feelings toward him.

Notably, Elain returned the necklace Azriel had given her, and he subsequently gifted it to someone else, signifying a shift in their connection. Elain accepted Azriel's declaration that their connection was a mistake.

Although there were moments where Azriel and Elain were in the same room after solstice, their interactions didn't lead to significant developments. It's important to consider that character dynamics can evolve unpredictably in a story.

While the author may have expressed mutual interest in a bonus chapter, the observations made by Cassian and Nesta in the regular edition about Azriel's interactions with Gwyn added complexity to the situation. Ultimately, it's up to the author to decide how they want to develop the characters and their relationships, even if it doesn't align with some fans' expectations.
