"What is the band of Exiles gonna do throw tea parties?" babygirl, what are YOU doing besides paperwork and giving art classes

the firebird • the fox

the mortal • the high fae

the queen • the emissary

the bird of flame • the lord of fire

the ruler of scythia • the heir of day court

the cursed royal • the spell-cleaver prince

just soulmate things ᥫ᭡

why do the band of exiles have a bright pink couch in their house and why do i just know jurian was the one who bought it.he got it as a joke to piss lucien off and they never got the chance to return it, now they’re all too attached to it and can’t bring themselves to replace it.like yeah it’s the most atrocious couch you’ll ever see but it’s their couch 🤷.

Does anyone else find the Night Court sooooo boring? Like, there's nothing interesting there, no courtly dynamics or anything, just some sexist Illyrians and sexist people in the Court of Nightmares as well, and the whole book is Rhysand throwing his weight around WHEN he feels like it but not doing shit about genuinely important issues (like sexism). Rhysand is smart supposedly, but I've never actually seen him use TACT in this series. He's so powerful that he doesn't need to or whatever. Blah blah blah, Night Court is the biggest and the baddest. But the Autumn Court... Cutthroat, beautiful. It has sons competing for power from an early age, through combat and courtly wiles. Only the strong survive. It produced a Lucien and an Eris, and their complicated brotherly relationship. You have a paranoid, abusive leader. You have the whole LoA + Helion affair, a love child. The man who abandoned his heritage to play courtier to another High Lord. Who is friends with two humans, one who is tied to an evil god. You have Eris, playing the perfect prodigal son while planning a coup right under his father's nose. Both are potential High Lords. You have Gwyn, a part water-nymph having Autumn heritage; we could explore how mixed High Fae are treated as well. Also, I want to know more about how Lucien learned to catch fish with his BARE HANDS??? Finish the line: Autumn court males have fire in their veins and... The way I'd read an entire series on the Autumn Court 😩😩😩😩😩

Elain Archeron + Band of Exiles✨

It's not about friendship, just drawings so keep calm

Band of Exiles Headcanon

it would bring me great joy if eris went to the human lands to visit lucien and the band of exiles often

Jurian: fuck, marry, kill: Me, Lucien and Elain

Vassa: Marry Elain, Fuck Lucien and Kill You

Jurian: I'm your husband

Vassa: Not for much longer

Sketch request for @cascadingmoon

With friends like Jurian and Vassa, who needs family? The Band of Exiles give off major found family and I like to imagine these are the first friends Lucien can let his guard down with.

You know I love @sassyhobbits - this was one of the first pieces we ever did together. I said spooky cauldron vibes and she read my mind.

@lucienweekofficial

Imagine Jurian is giving his glorious account about how he turned the tide of the human war to Lucien and Vassa and Lucien has fallen asleep in his chair and Vassa is constantly rolling her eyes and muttering, "he can't be serious" (but actually most of it isn't even exaggerated). And Jurian is getting annoyed at Lucien's lack of attention so he just says in a really loud voice, "Oh, hi, Elain! Fancy seeing you here!" and Lucien gets so shocked he falls out of his chair and Jurian and Vassa are both laughing their asses off at him while Lucien cusses his ass off at Jurian.

Jurian is NOT a morning person. He's like barely hearing a word Lucien's saying.

Fae obviously don't really have the same biology as humans, and I headcanon that one example of this other than the ears and the elongated limbs is that they don't have much body hair. The most they have is usually just pubic hair, not even anything under the arms or on the legs. The hairiest high fae Lucien knows is Tamlin cause he's got a happy trail. Lesser Faeries like the Illyrians have some, probably, but even then it doesn't get too extreme.

I also have a headcanon that Jurian is hairy as FUCK. Like wolverine through and through in terms of both body type and body hair. so when Lucien finds out for the first time he's like perplexed because the only other human man he's interacted with has been Papa Archeron, so it's not like he sees a lot of shirtless human men, and it's just...mind boggling to him that someone can have that much body hair.

Introducing Poly+ ACOTAR Week!

Hello all and welcome to Poly+ ACOTAR week, an event to celebrate consensual non-monogamy within the fandom! 

So what is consensual non-monogamy, or CNM? CNM is an umbrella term for relationships in which all partners give explicit consent to engage in romantic, intimate, and/or sexual relationships with multiple people. CNM can take multiple forms, including polyamory, open relationships, and swinging relationships. Here at Poly+ week we encourage you to explore not just the sexual aspects of CNM, but the emotional as well. This event was designed to bring together writers from multiple ships and writing forms (X-reader, OC characters, and canon). 

As we work toward the event, we’d like to share more about the 5 common misconceptions of CNM. Keep your eyes peeled for that and so much more! We are so excited to engage with all of you and spread more love throughout the ACOTAR fandom.

Here it is folks, my Poly+ ACOTAR Week 2024 Masterlist! It's time to get excited!!!

D1~Beginnings: "How I Met Your Fathers"

🥿 Feyre has a conversation with Nyx about how the bonds snapped between herself, Tamlin, and Rhysand. Inspired by the storytelling of "The Princess Bride" and "How I Met Your Mother" this is angsty, fluffy fun. (Feytamsand)

D2~Comfort: "Hold Me Close, Hold Me Tender"

🩸 Nesta has always struggled with more intense cycles than most, and when she became fae it only got worse. Thankfully, her mates Azriel and Cassian are there to take care of her. (Nessriel)

D3~Secrets: "Stairway Snoops"

👂🏽 Morrigan sleeps at the town house after a night out and as she's trying to sneak out, she learns a secret about four people she never expected to find together. (Azriel X Eris X Cassian X Nesta)

D4~Adventure: "Our Greatest Adventure"

👶🏽 Nesta, Cassian, and Azriel feel their baby kick for the first time and feel all the emotions. (Nessriel)

D5~Favorite Tropes: "Cold Feet, Autumn Fae, and Only One Bed"

🛌🏽 My first attempt at a headcanon post! The Band of Exiles are in a new relationship and immediately had to travel for work. Of course, Jurian books them a room with only one bed... (Jurian X Vassa X Lucien)

D6~Celebration: "Into the Fire"

🔥 Feyre doesn't listen when Tamlin tells her to stay in her room during Calanmai, and they both wind up in the cave with a very beastly Tamlin to complete the rite. *smut* (Feytamcien/Lufeylin)

D7~Free Day: "Know Your Place"

Chapter 1 of a new multichapter fic titled "Return to the Hewn City" 🦇 Eris and Nesta follow through on the conversation they had in the epilogue of "3 Jewels in the Hewn City" and teach their Illyrian mates their place. *smut* (Azris X Nessian)

I can't wait to share these all with you during @polyacotarweek!!!

Which one are you most excited for? Let me know in the comments and tags!
