Elain Archeron, member of The Tortured Poets Department

i’m hearing voices like a madman - so high school

i’m seeing visions / am I bad or mad or wise? - guilty as sin?

you can mark my words that I said it first / in a mourning warning, no one heard - cassandra

and for a fortnight there, we were forever - fortnight

leaving me bereft and reeling / my beloved ghost and me / sitting in a tree / d-y-i-n-g - how did it end?

i saw in my mind fairy lights through the mist - so long, london

i cry a lot, but I am so productive, it's an art - i can do it with a broken heart

but my bare hands paved their paths / you don't get to tell me about "sad" - who’s afraid of little old me?

so I leap from the gallows and I levitate down your street / crash the party like a record scratch as I scream / "who's afraid of little old me?" / you should be - who’s afraid of little old me?

i hate it here so I will go to secret gardens in my mind - i hate it here

one slip and fallin' back into the hedge maze […] i keep recalling things we never did - guilty as sin?

these fatal fantasies / giving way to labored breath, takin' all of me / we’ve already done it in my head / if it's make-believe / why does it feel like a vow we'll both uphold somehow? - guilty as sin?

wise men once said / "one bad seed kills the garden" / "one less temptress, one less dagger to sharpen" / locked me up in towers / but I'd visit in your dreams / and they tried to warn you about me - the albatross

a rose by any other name is a scandal / cautions issued, he stood - the albatross

i spied the catch in your breath - i look in people’s windows

what if I roll the stone away? / they’re gonna crucify me anyway / what if the way you hold me is actually what's holy? - guilty as sin?

"stay away from her" / the saboteurs protested too much - but daddy i love him

crashin' into him tonight, he's a paradox - guilty as sin?

it’s happenin' again / how did it end? / i can't pretend like I understand - how did it end?

this cage was once just fine / am I allowed to cry? / i dream of crackin' locks - guilty as sin?

thought I caught lightning in a bottle / oh, but it's gone again […] please / i’ve been on my knees / change the prophecy / don't want money / just someone who wants my company / let it once be me - the prophecy

cards on thе table / mine play out like fools in a fablе […] poison blood from the wound of the pricked hand / oh, still I dream of him - the prophecy

lilac short skirt, the one that fits me like skin […] and I'll tell you one thing, honey / i can tell when somebody still wants me, come clean - imgonnagetyouback

i, i hear thе whispers in your eyes / i’ll make you wanna think twice / you'll find that you were never not mine / (you’re mine) - imgonnagetyouback

'cause the sign on your heart / said it's still reserved for me / honestly, who are we to fight thе alchemy? - the alchemy

i'll tell you something right now / i’d rather burn my whole life down […] i'll tell you something 'bout my good name / it’s mine alone to disgrace / i don't cater to all these vipers dressed in empath's clothing - but daddy i love him

if long-suffering propriety is what they want from me / they don't know how you've haunted me so stunningly / i choose you and me religiously - guilty as sin?

🌹Elriel || Sleeping Beauty AU🌹

“I know you

I walked with you once upon a dream

I know you

That look in your eyes is so familiar, a gleam

And I know it's true that visions are seldom what they seem

But if I know you

I know what you'll do

You'll love me at once

The way you did once upon a dream.”

~ Once Upon a Dream, Sleeping Beauty~

Elain Archeron gives me the same vibes as Aurora, with her sweet disposition, her love of plants, her love for her family, and her way of turning every hopeless situation into something positive. Aurora didn’t mind walking through the forest or living in a little cabin in the woods, just as Elain made the best of their circumstances even during those years of poverty.

And like Aurora, she is destined for greatness. While Aurora is a secret Princess, Elain has so much untapped potential that when we get her book, we will all be blown away.

And like Prince Philip, Azriel is nonjudgmental and a gentleman, and loves a sweet girl who loves nature and plants and sees the best in everybody. He is not afraid of risking his life to protect his girl, even if that means going into the heart of a Hybern war camp.

PS: I will never look at this movie the same again. These backgrounds were a pain to do 🤣

Favorite Elriel moment and why 👀?

Hello Anon!! 🩷

This is sooo hard for me because they have so many good ones that it’s hard to decide 😭.

I’m a sucker for the angst in Azriel’s bonus chapter….but I’m going to pick Elain gifting Azriel the headache powder!! I adore the fact that Azriel throws his head back and laughs and it shows how Elain was observing him (thoughtful Queen 😭)!!

Some other favorites are the iconic potato scene and the domestic bliss where Elain is having her tea while Az looks at his reports

Thank you for asking!! 🩷✨

When did you pick up your first sjm book?

And what made you join the sjm fandom?

Hello anon !!! 🩷🩷

Ooooh, this is such a great question!! I started reading SJM my sophomore year of high school (which seems sooo long ago 💀 …. I have the OG ACOTARs in hardback 💅) and I picked up TOG + ACOTAR right around the same time, so it’s hard to remember which I bought first…but ACOTAR was my first SJM love :)

I didn’t joint the fandom until **way** later !! August 2021 I think is when I first starting posting my fics and interacting with the fandom. I was out of the fandom for so long (I have no idea ACOSF was even published until TikTok told me 🙈) so ACOSF really kick-started my elriel feelings again and I needed to talk about it with people!!

Thank you so much for asking!! 🩷🩷🩷

What are you most excited about for Elriel’s book👀?

Hello Anon !! 🩷

I’m literally so excited for everything when it comes to Elriel’s book that I literally start to shake if I think about it for too long. And we’re getting closer and closer to it everyday 😭.

I **love** the Azriel acosf bonus because it sets up Elriel with the forbidden love trope and I eat that up every time 😭🩷. (I’m also think Rhysand ate in the bonus chapter 🤴).

I’m also really looking forward to get inside Elain and Azriel’s head. All signs point to Elain being a soft female lead and those always tend to be my favorite :) . I also just really love Azriel, he’s so funny I can’t wait to see him as out MMC !!

Thank you for asking !! 🩷🩷

Thank you for reading 🥹!!

How You Get The Girl

Chapter 24

Ao3 ~ Masterlist

Word Count: 2.2k

Warnings: Smut, Language

Elain was an expert in quick changes, but slipping into the lacy lingerie that she had bought specifically for Azriel was by far the most important of them all. She was just browsing online when she saw the dusty lilac babydoll. As soon as she laid eyes on it she wanted to see Azriel’s reaction to her wearing it. It was feminine and romantic and she just knew he’d like it.

Her suitcase was unzipped and her clothes were falling out of it and moved into the far corner of the room, hastily shoved to the side, and her travel clothes were on the floor next to it. Hopefully Azriel would be too focused on her to notice the mess she made.

She heard his footsteps in the hall and her heart jumped into her throat. His footsteps were quiet, so quiet that everyone else thought he was silent, but she was so deeply in tune with him that she heard him no matter what.

The doorknob to her room turned, and Elain found herself falling back onto one elbow and she positioned her legs in a way that she knew was sultry and showed off her full hips.

Damn, she silently cursed herself, she should have packed heels.

Elain watched as Azriel walked into the room and stop in his tracks when he saw her splayed out on the bed. Her golden curls tossed behind her shoulders. He looked like he was hit by an invisible truck, his body completely stopping short.

“Hi.” Elain breathed, smiling at him. She had planned to stay sultry and seductive, but his reaction caused the biggest smile to overtake her face.

“Fuck.”

She couldn’t help but throw her head back and laugh as he dropped his suitcase on the floor. And not even a sexy laugh, but one that was full-bodied and had her gasping for air.

“I’m supposed to be seducing you.” Elain said through her laughter, which caused her body to shake. His hazel eyes slid along the curve of her body before latching onto her heavy breasts.

“It’s fucking working.” Azriel growled and started towards bed.

“Uh-uh-uh!” Elain stopped him with a pointed finger and extended a leg towards him. “Condom.”

Azriel cursed under his breath and riffled through his suitcase for his box of condoms, and when he found them he tossed the package onto the bed next to her.

He pulled off his shirt and let it drop to the floor, and Elain felt her pussy clench at the sight of his muscled torso. His brown skin beautiful, tattooed, and scarred. Her hands balled into fists to stop herself from reaching for him. She wanted those hard muscles under the pads of her fingers. Wanted to feel his body react to her touch.

“I can’t believe this is happening.” Elain said, staring up at him and he unbuckled his belt.

Her toes curled at the sound of his zipper coming undone.

Azriel was silent as he shucked off his jeans, taking his briefs with him, and then he was naked standing before her.

Her chest rose and fell as she took heavy breathes.

She squirmed as he walked closer to her, and as soon as he was close enough Elain placed her hands on his bare hips. Her thumbs grazing the sharp edges of his hip bones before moving her hands up and over his abs.

“I’ve wanted to do this for a while.” Elain admitted, and before Azriel could question her she moved forward and ran her tongue up along the ridges of his six-pack. His muscles quaking underneath her.

“Fuck,” Azriel groaned, his hands digging into her hair. “How long, exactly, have you wanted to lick my abs?”

“Too long.” Elain said and pressed a kiss into his navel, her humid breath ghosting over his skin.

Azriel let out a pained groan as Elain slid from his grasp and fell to her back.

“This,” His hand landed flat on her stomach, and her muscles clenched under his touch. “This is beautiful, Elain,” His fingers worked the silky fabric. “And one day I’ll fuck you while you wear it, but not today.”

Azriel lifted the scrap of fabric over her head and threw it over his shoulder, and then he slowly pulled the matching panties down her legs.

“Fuck, you’re beautiful,” Azriel said, pressing kisses into her soft belly. He brought one hand between her thighs and groaned into her skin. “And wet.”

“It’s the anticipation.” Elain said, sighing as Azriel clasped one of her nipples between his teeth. Gently teasing the hardened bud.

His fingers started working between her legs, brushing over her clit before plunging one finger inside of her warmth. And then another. Thrusting in and out while his thumb pressed on her swollen bud.

“Azriel.” Elain gasped, arching as she clenched around his fingers.

He propped himself onto his elbow and stared down at her, taking in the way her eyes screwed shut and the way her mouth hung open in pleasure.

“More,” Elain whispered, opening her eyes slightly to look at him. “Please.”

Azriel didn’t say anything. He slowly retracted his hand and then reached across the bed to grab one of the condoms that had fallen out of the box.

The tearing of foil sounded through the room.

Elain watched as he slid the condom over his cock and bit down on her bottom lip as her stomach tumbled with excitement. She pushed herself to her elbows, her hair falling messily behind her, and looked as Azriel positioned himself at her entrance.

With one hand on her hip, Azriel sank into her. Slow and steady and one of Elain’s hands came up to grip Azriel’s bicep, her nails sinking into his muscle.

“Fuck,” Azriel said, dropping down onto one hand next to her. His black hair falling into his face. “You’re so tight. And so fucking wet. You feel like a fucking dream.”

Elain took deep breaths, getting used to the size and feel of him. How he stretched her so deliciously to the point of almost pain.

It had been so long since Elain last had sex that it felt like the first time all over again. Well, not exactly. There was no awkward fumbling. No discomfort. Just pleasure.

“You,” Elain gasped as Azriel sank in another inch. “Feel even bigger than you look.”

Slowly, Azriel pushed forward into her until Elain was completely full.

Elain gasped as she felt the press of his piercing deep inside of her, in a place that no one had ever reached before.

By pure reflex, one of Elain’s hands reached for his tight ass cheek, her nails digging into his flesh.

Her hips shifted up as his pelvis ground against her clit, and the walls of sex clenched around him, causing Azriel’s breath to turn jagged.

“I pictured fucking you for hours and hours the first time,” Azriel said heavily, his breath against his damp breath gasping against her neck. “Until we were both seeing stars, but fuck you feel better than I imagined.”

“We can,” Elain’s breath jolted as he pulled out, his piercing pressing against her clit before thrusting back into her, her wetness sounding through the room. “Still do that.”

Azriel started to move his hips faster, more erratic as his control started slipping further and further away from him.

The sound of his pounding into her filled the room, causing Elain to buck her hips.

“Fuck.” Azriel breathed, thrusting harder.

Hot pleasure was mounting within Elain, and with one last push Elain hit her breaking point. The walls of her cunt clenching his dick as her orgasm cratered through her.

Azriel grabbed her hips, making sure he was as deep seated as possible, before coming inside of her.

“That was…” Elain drifted off breathlessly, loving the feel of his muscle-hardened, sweaty body against hers.

“I agree.” Azriel said, breathing heavily through his nose before pulling her in for a sloppy kiss.

Elain reached down to pull off the used condom, and she tossed it on the floor without a second thought.

“Thank you.” Elain said as Azriel dropped next to her. She wasted no time before snuggling into his side, wanting every inch of their skin to touch.

“For what?” Azriel asked, his breath slowly turning back to normal. His hands felt her entire body. Running up the length of her back and lush bottom.

“It was perfect.” Elain sighed, kissing his strong neck.

Azriel held her closer.

— —

When Azriel woke, it was slowly.

This wasn’t the first time that Elain had recognized it, but it was different. Maybe it was because she still felt sore from their day (and night) together, but the way Azriel was clinging to her and burrowing his face into her neck made it seem as if there was nowhere else he wanted to be.

“Good morning,” Elain said, turning and wrapping her arms around his neck. Their lips came together in a leisurely kiss. “Would you like to explain to me why I smell coffee?” Elain asked against his lips.

“I set it up last night when I got us dinner,” Azriel said in a sleep ridden voice. One that made Elain’s bones melt. He cracked open one hazel eye. “I figured we’d be a bit busy last night and wouldn’t want to get up and brew it this morning.”

“You think of everything,” Elain sighed and pressed a kiss into his hard peck. “I love that about you.”

Azriel placed a kiss on top of her head.

Elain moved to get out of bed and right when she was about to plant her feet on the wooden floor, she squealed and jerked back. Almost tumbling into Azriel.

“What the fuck?” Azriel asked, worry pulling at his brows, and his hands grabbing Elain to pull her away from the edge of the bed. “Is there a mouse?”

“No,” Elain shook her head and looked at him with wide eyes. “How many times did we do it last night?”

She blinked at him, her face flushing.

Azriel tried to stop the smile from forming fully on his lips.

“Quite a few.” Azriel responded.

Elain jerked her head, urging Azriel to peek over the edge of the bed.

“Did we go through the entire box?” Elain whisper-yelled, and then fought the embarrassment that rose within her. There was nobody here to hear her. And she certainly wasn’t whispering last night.

Azriel rubbed his lips with his finger as he looked at the used condoms they had discarded on the floor.

It was a bit of a concerning sight to see first thing in the morning.

Elain crawled across the bed, her bum in the air, and reached for the box at the foot of the bed.

“That is a much better sight.” Azriel said, tilting his head to take in Elain’s rounded bottom.

She looked over her shoulder at him, her cheeks still pink, and shook the empty box at him.

“We should make a run to the store,” Elain said, watching as Azriel moved towards her, and not stopping him as he grasped her hips to twist her so that she laid on her back. “To get some more.”

Azriel nodded in agreement and pressed his morning erection into her wet, swollen pussy.

Elain moaned and moved against him.

“I’m going on the pill, or something. Whatever the doctor recommends.” Elain gasped as his piercing flicked over her clit.

Azriel stilled above her.

“You don’t have to.” Azriel said, pulling back.

“I want to feel you inside me… with no barriers. And I trust you.”

Azriel placed one large hand on her neck and pulled her in for a passionately slow kiss. Their hips still moving against each other.

If Elain was with anybody else, then she might have been embarrassed by her body’s reaction to him. How wet she got just from his kiss and the feel of his cock moving against her sex — but she felt too good, and Azriel was just as turned on by her body as she was by his.

He moved again, pressing her deeper into the mattress.

Elain’s body pulsed as an orgasm rushed through her, and she felt Azriel coming all over her pussy and stomach. The warm liquid landing on her sensitive skin.

“That was,” Elain took a deep breath. “Hot.”

“The things I want to do to you, Elain.” Azriel groaned against her lips. A sinful promise in his voice.

Elain swallowed.

“We’ll go to the store after breakfast?” Elain asked and Azriel nodded in agreement.

Before anything else could happen, Elain crawled out of bed and grabbed the tshirt Azriel had discarded on the floor.

“Maybe we should have coffee in the kitchen,” Elain said, biting her lip as a naked Azriel lounged in twisted sheets. Sheets that they had twisted the night before. And that morning. “That way we might behave?” Elain ignored the condom graveyard that littered on the floor.

“I don’t think location matters for us, beautiful.” Azriel said, his eyes warm as they looked at his girlfriend.

Elain nodded.

“But,” He continued. “I’ll clean up our mess and meet you in the kitchen. The sooner we leave, the sooner I can fuck you again.”

A blush coated Elain’s cheeks and she looked at the mess they had made on her and said, “I need a washcloth first.”
