@gwynrielweeksofficial Day 14 - Free Day
Aaand it's the end of Gwynriel Weeks 2024. Kudos to everyone who has managed this event ❤️. It was amazing to see all this love for my favourite ship and also to be able to participate in it. Thank you!! ❤️
Today's fic is a gift to @avabrynne (my little love letter to you is on Ao3 😉)
Synopsis: Catrin finds a baby in their backyard and tries to convince Azriel and Gwyn to keep it.
Word Count: 1.7k
Read on Ao3 or below the cut
≽^•⩊•^≼
Azriel’s head whipped around so fast his neck almost cracked. If he told his wife that, the only thing she would hear would be the cracking part and make a joke about him getting old.
“Daddy. I found an orphan.”
“What?”
He placed his knife on the kitchen countertop and looked towards the back door, to the little girl walking in with a few leaves in her pigtails and her lavender sweater balled up in her tiny arms. He removed the kitchen towel that was thrown over his left shoulder and wiped his hands before placing it down next to the knife and chopping board.
“I found an orphan in our garden.”
Azriel approached his daughter, mouth opening to ask what on earth she was talking about, when a little noise coming from the sweater made him stop. The little noise sounded a lot like it belonged to something with claws and fur. As if to confirm what it was, the little thing decided to poke its little head – after struggling for a few seconds– out of the sweater.
“Look daddy, look. She’s a baby,” Catrin exclaimed as though he wasn’t seeing the fluffy black kitten too.
The tiny creature looked around with bright yellow, almost gold, eyes. It seemed more curious than afraid despite being in the arms of an excited child. Cat beamed at the kitten in her arms. She jumped on the spot, causing the kitten’s head to move this way and that while its body remained trapped in its prison made of wool.
“Ok honey, calm down,” Azriel said and reached out his hands to take the kitten from his daughter’s arms before its head flew off.
Cat pointed at the door leading to their garden. “She was alone in that bush,” she explained, leaving Azriel to guess in which of the several bushes in their backyard she could be referring to.
Azriel held the sweater in the crook of his arm and extricated the kitten from it with his right hand. He handed the sweater back to Cat when he was done and took a closer look at the black ball of fur. It looked quite thin to him but showed no sign of injuries.
“How do you know it’s an orphan?”
“She told me,” Cat replied with a shrug.
The kitten meowed. Azriel had no idea whether it was to confirm or deny what Cat had said. He looked down at his daughter but decided against questioning her supposed ability to talk to animals.
“She?” he asked instead.
“The baby,” Cat pointed to the kitten that was busy trying to climb on Azriel’s shoulder.
He pulled the little thing away, removing its claws from his t-shirt when it tried to hold on, and turned it around.
“It’s a he.”
“He who?” Cat furrowed her brows.
“The baby,” Azriel explained as he brought the kitten closer to Cat’s face. “It’s a male.”
Cat giggled at the paw that reached out to boop her nose. There was dirt on her knees, on her bare feet and forearms. The blue jumper she wore was in a barely better state than the rest of her. Azriel smiled at her dishevelled state but sighed internally for the fact that he had thought of changing her clothes before letting her play outside. Gwyn would have been pissed if Cat had ruined yet another one of her school clothes.
“You’re my baby brother now,” Cat announced to the kitten while she petted its head.
Azriel laughed. “Hold up honey. What if his mommy comes back for him?”
Cat wrapped her arms around one of her father’s legs. “But he was alone,” she reminded Azriel, looking up at him with her big blue eyes and a pout on her lips. Not for the first time in 4 years, Azriel noticed Cat’s striking resemblance with Gwyn whenever she used the puppy eyes on him in a desperate attempt to get him to agree with something he had said no to. Apart from having her father’s black hair, everyone who knew Gwyn could see that Cat, on the outside, was a pretty good copy of her.
“Mommy can be his mommy too.”
Azriel’s eyes darted from his daughter to the kitten nipping at his finger with his sharp teeth. He knew that it was common for cats to adopt their humans instead of the opposite and this one did not seem to be an exception to this rule. The longer he took to reply, the tighter Cat wrapped her arms around his leg.
“Daddy pleeease.” She threw her head back and dragged the last word until Azriel sighed and stopped her with an, “Ok fine.” Cat gasped and looked at him with hope in her eyes.
Azriel hadn’t had a pet since he was a child. He had always been fond of cats. His daughter had also been asking for a pet for a while now – well, either that or a sibling. Azriel had been on Cat’s side the whole time in trying to convince Gwyn to agree to either of those. With the way this little thing here was purring and scratching at his shirt, he thought perhaps it was a trick of fate that had sent him here.
“OK listen. We will give him back to his mommy if she comes back,” he stated as firmly as he could to Cat as she gripped the fabric of his pants and nodded with a widening smile. “And we’ll have to ask your own mommy if she agrees with this.”
Her messy pigtails moved when she nodded again and started jumping. “If she says yes, then we can keep the baby,” Azriel added.
The squeal that Cat let out was so loud that even the kitten jumped in surprise. She released his legs and started running excitedly around the kitchen while waving her dirty sweater. Azriel lifted the kitten up to his face. “You still got time to run buddy.”
The little thing meowed, and tried again to climb on his shoulder.
ฅ^•⩊•^ฅ
“Mommy, mommy. I found an orphan. Can we keep it mommy?”
Gwyn stopped at the threshold with one foot still outside. She didn’t have the time to put the other one in before her daughter was hugging her leg. It wasn’t the first time that Cat greeted her at door when she came back home. Though usually Gwyn was greeted with a “hi mommy” before the babbles started.
“Can we keep it mommy please?” Cat asked very loudly while jumping on the spot.
Gwyn placed her bag on the small bench near the front door. She picked Cat up and smooched her cheek. Her daughter smelled like the bubble-gum shower gel she liked so much. Judging by Cat’s clean matching yellow t-shirt and shorts, she guessed that her daughter must have had her bath not long before her arrival. Even her hair was styled in the twin French braids that Azriel was so skilled at doing now.
“Hello to you too, my darling.”
Cat wrapped her arms around Gwyn’s neck and returned her mother’s kiss with another one of her own.
“Now, what was it you were saying?” She asked as she walked them further inside the house.
Cat beamed at her and placed her hands on Gwyn’s cheeks. “Can we keep the little orphan, mommy?”
Gwyn’s brows furrowed. “What orphan?”
“The baby.”
“What baby?”
“The orphan,” Cat said like it should be obvious.
She had had many interesting conversations with her daughter before but this one felt particular strange.
“What on earth are you –”
Gwyn stopped abruptly when she reached the living area.
“Can we keep it mommy pleeease,” Cat kept going, shaking her mother’s face, while Gwyn took in what her eyes were seeing.
Azriel was lying down on his back, shirtless, on the carpet beside the coffee table, with a little black kitten on his chest. The kitten was hitting and biting the finger that Azriel kept waving at it.
“Hello, my love,” he greeted her but didn’t look away from the kitten. There was no doubt his smile was more for the little thing than for Gwyn. Azriel laughed every time the kitten missed his finger when he removed his hand faster than it could hit it.
“What is this?” Gwyn whispered to no one in particular. Her body was still frozen and her eyes glued on the scene before her.
“It’s a baby,” Cat replied.
The kitten attacked Azriel’s hand again, wrapping its tiny paws around his wrist and turned on itself but it only managed to slide off his chest and fall down clumsily on its back. Gwyn gasped and let out a shriek louder than when the enemies in the enemies-to-lovers book she was currently reading finally became lovers. She placed an equally excited Catrin on the ground before she ran towards a stunned Azriel. Gwyn sat on the floor beside him and picked up the kitten.
“Hi little baby,” she cooed while petting it. “Aren’t you the cutest little kitty.”
Cat reached her mother and leaned over her shoulder to watch. Azriel rose from the floor and stretched out his legs before filling Gwyn in on everything that she had missed before she came back. He rested his back against their grey couch and pulled Gwyn by the waist until she sat on one of his legs. Though his wife wasn’t paying him any attention, he still kissed her cheek and lips. It only took a second before Cat felt left out and moved to sit on his other one. The little girl brought her face close to Azriel’s until he kissed her on the cheek too. And another one on the tip of her nose where it always made her smile the most. Azriel wrapped his arms around them both and they all snuggled against him. Meanwhile the kitten between them was only interested in playing with whatever moved in front of its face.
“So, we are keeping it?” Azriel asked unnecessarily.
“Of course we are.”
The kitten stopped and stared at Catrin when she squealed from her mother’s answer. But then it went back to what it was doing, as though the little thing was already used to all this.

I couldn’t care less about Elriel/Elucien/Gwynriel shipwars if some of them didn’t want to erase Elain existence because yes it’s what they do :
« Azriel and Gwyn book is next ». So a side character will have a book before a member of the inner circle ? Before the sister of the main character ? Also, I saw this big account on insta who said Azriel and Elain can’t have a book together because they’re both MC, so they will have a book each. Just a reminder, the next book is a dual pov. The two protagonists are the MC, the two protagonists have to move the plot. Both of them. Not just one. It will be like Nesta and Cassian. They both were important. Azriel is more mysterious than Cassian, that’s why some people seems to think that he will have his own book, but none of the characters will have his own book. They will share a pov with another character and even Azriel can’t move the plot alone. He’s not made by the cauldron. (Now ask yourself if Gwyn can lead 50% of the plot ? What her pov will be about ? What a book about Gwyn will be about ? She can’t wield the troves, she’s not made by the cauldron, she’s not connected to truth teller, or the prison. Also, we know her story, we saw her healing, I’am sorry she’s cute but I prefer to know the thoughts of a character that I know nothing about. I know everything I have to know about her. And knowing about her father is not something enough interesting to me. We learn who was Lucien’s father in Feyre’s book, I don’t think Gwyn needs a book to find her father, and honestly, I don’t even think it’s important).
« Rhysand and Gwyn friendship will be so cute ». I’am sorry what ? Where is that come from ? Why Rhysand will have a friendship with Nesta’s friend ? Last time I checked, Rhysand has a soft spot for Elain and Elain only. (« Elain is Elain »). Cassian+Feyre, Azriel+Nesta and Rhysand+Gwyn. When they say something like that, they don’t see the problem ?? One of them is not like the others.
« Gwyn will be a spy ». Ok. So I guess Elain is taking lesson with Nuala and Cerridwen for baking. It’s not like there is a quote in the books who say that Elain is probably training with the two spies of the NC, that Elain can keep secret, that she’s observer and she can walk without a sound. Please, Gwyn can’t even keep a secret. Be serious. There is no foreshadowing for this.
« Nuala and Cerridwen could be friend with Gwyn because they’re also nymph». When I say that Gwynriels act like Elain doesn’t exist it’s what I’am talking about. When I saw this on tumblr I knew these people just ship Gwyn and Az because they hate Elain. They even want to take her friends from her. They want Elain to have nothing.
« Nesta prefers Gwyn than Elain, she’s rooting for Az and Gwyn » just say you have no brothers and sisters because there is no way someone believe that.
« Gwyn will be Nyx’s favorite auntie ». This one is funny. In a world where Nesta, Elain, Mor and Amren don’t exist, maybe.
« Gwyn is a starborn, she has so many powers, she can wield the troves ». Sure, more powerful that the three sisters who can match Rhysand power aka the most powerful high lord. (Not me who said that, but the books). Elain is made by the cauldron. What’s the point of knowing if Gwyn can wield the troves or not when Elain is just there ??
The only thing they still didn’t take from Elain is Feyre and her ability to see the future. But we never know, they able to do it.
I don’t understand why they want to transform Gwyn into a Mary Sue. Is Gwyn not enough ? Being a valkyrie is not enough ? You need her to have MC energy. So you try to connect everything to Gwyn. And you also need to erase Elain. Because of course, Elain is not staying in the night court, she will be away and Gwyn will replace Elain in the inner circle too because you didn’t know but Gwyn is the third Archeron sister. She will defeat Koschei. And at the end, she will be the most powerful person.
All of this made me the hardest Elain supporter and defender.
I don’t care if people ship Gwyn and Azriel, it’s ok to have different ship, but I wish they will stop acting like Elain doesn’t exist. They stop inserting Gwyn into Elain’s storytelling and they stop calling Elriels delusionals ( the audacity. How it’s delusional to ship two characters who like each other ?)

This post is going to sound slightly Anti Az so just skip by if that's something that will upset you. I'm not Anti Az, I think he's fine though not my favorite, but I often see that any little thing we're given for him tends to result in Lucien and Elain's setup being pushed to the side and this post will reflect that.
The post will also contain minor spoilers for the ACOTAR characters in HOFAS.
With the release of HOFAS there has been an influx of posts from E/riels claiming Elain's book is next, E/riel confirmed.
There has also been an influx of posts saying Az's book is next, that HOFAS proves this.
But.......
Why would Az get the girl before Lucien when Lucien has been waiting for Elain for two years and if Az's book is next, he'll have gone from not being able to admit he's over Mor, lusting after Elain, then into a HEA with his mate within a year?
Why would Gwyn's heritage be discovered before Lucien discovers his when Lucien's secret about his father was revealed to the reader in ACOWAR and hinted at in ACOMAF? Why should any hints we were given for Azriel's heritage in HOFAS be revealed before Lucien's when again, Lucien's were introduced to the storyline years ago?
Why would Az settle his issues with Eris if Gwyn's Autumn ties turn out to be important before Lucien settles his issues with his own brother?
Why would Gwynriel visit the Autumn Court because of a relative Gwyn has never met before Lucien is allowed to reconnect with his own mother when his issues with the Autumn Court were introduced in book 1? Where it's confirmed he's her favorite son in ACOWAR?
Why should Az get his HEA before Elain when he's the one who rejected her?
Why should Az get his HEA before Lucien when he's the one who claimed Lucien wasn't good enough?
Why should the things that happened in a different series that didn't actually set up for any immediate concerns within their world (hinted at them yes but that is all) when Koschei, Beron and Spring are real threats / problems they've needed to deal with for multiple books? We now know Truth Teller has special powers and a unique backstory but we've also known for quite a while that both Elain and Lucien have undiscovered powers. And yes, there will probably be more to explore with the Prison and Ramiel and it seems Az might now worry that if Bryce could enter their world than who else can but right now, no one outside their planet is actually threatening their world. At the end of HOFAS, we don't have evidence that the IC is under duress of a new enemy. So why would SJM create an entirely new threat for the next ACOTAR book when they still haven't resolved all the major threats from Silver Flames? Doing nothing about Koschei and Beron or Spring for another 4-9 months (depending on the length of a Gwynriel book) seems really odd to me especially when SF ended with Eris saying their big problems are his father, Koschei and the treaty.
Why should a 500 year old male who already has a found home and found family have the chance to tell his story before a 24 year old who will remain stuck in limbo "not belonging" without a found family or home of her own until her POV? Does it makes sense that SJM would give Az a HEA while Elain continues struggling in a court that sucks the life from her?
Why should that same male, with his found family, get his HEA when Lucien still doesn't have a true home of his own? When we know Lucien is struggling with not having one?
Why does the Az bonus in SF trump Lucien's actual pov in ACOWAR?
Why would it be ok for Elain to continue sitting on all the traumas she's been through in order for Az to find his HEA first even though the other two Archeron's were given the chance to deal with their traumas in their own voices before Az?
Why would Rhys and Feyre declare they'd help one sister before helping the other then just forget about helping Elain through the entirety of Az's book? Does it make sense to have another book of Elain gardening in the background (we know she can't actually get involved in a major way before her book if she's meant to leave the NC so It would start feeling just a bit ridiculous for SJM to spend yet another book reminding us how she doesn't fit in).
Why would the IC have made such a big deal about Tamlin not getting better in SF then let him sit there, not getting better for another book?
Why would Koschei say "tell my Vassa I'm waiting" at the end of SF then just not bother calling her back for another book?
Also near the end of the crossover, we have this scene:
Why would Nesta, after getting her HEA in SF be struggling to find her way unless.... she was struggling with who she was outside of being Elain's protector because Elain has left the Night Court and no longer needs her?
But at the end of it all, why are readers putting more weight into anything discovered in CC3 when it has not yet been introduced into the actual ACOTAR series? CC3 is not greater than SF in terms of what's important to the ACOTAR characters right now. SF still remains the focus of the ACOTAR characters and the pressing concerns in their world right now remain that of Koschei, Beron, Vassa, and Tamlin (all things connected to Lucien much more than they are connected to Az).
The Valkyries were laughing over the Illyrians at the end of SF but no one was laughing about Tamlin, Koschei or Beron.

More Elriel arguments that make no sense
"Elain returned the necklace because it hurt her feelings to have it with her!"
...
But she kept Graysen's engagement ring for months after he rejected her? And we know Elain was in love with him. Guess whose gifts she hasn't rejected or returned? Lucien's😏
The bonus chapter means nothing! Yet you go and rant about Rhysand stopping the kiss and make theories about Gwyn based on small snippets in the bonus chapter? Ma'am. what? And then they say Gwynriels have nothing. When Az 100% looked at Gwyn with quiet encouragement among other things. Nesta called him the new ribbon. Our death queen knows what's up.😏
ElAiN iS uNcOmFoRtAbLe ArOuNd HiM! And why? Did Lucien do something wrong? Or is Elain avoiding him for a completely different reason, aka the mating bond? Besides, how do you think Elain is gonna feel around Az after the rejection? If Aelin can get over Rowan punching her, I think Elain can get over Lucien being a respectful king.
SJM is wearing a black deer sweatshirt! What ship does that remind you of? Wow...it's almost like there's a deer shifter in CC3 who is in love with shadow daddy Ruhn!
Elain wore black to make Nesta look good! Ok, then why did a pregnant woman look better than Elain then? Nesta and Feyre both glowed while Elain faded out. Foreshadowing!
Elain has no connection to Lucien plot-wise! Um, she literally wants to explore the continent? And loves flowers? And she spoke Koschei's prophecy! Tf does she have with Az bro?
Elain won't have room to grow gardens in Spring! They already have gardens! Yeah, gardens that have now turned into nothing but thorns as of ACOSF. Almost like the Spring Court is waiting for their favorite Sunshine boy and Flower girl to fix that!
Lucien and Elain is so boring! HuH? Tf about Autumn court males have fire in their blood and f*ck like it too sounds boring to you?

I think its come to a point where I have to clarify a few things.
To start with , to everyone who reached out , thank you I am doing ok, I am just busy, I have a lot of work related travel in the next two weeks and I am preparing for my deadlines and dealing with real life . I promise I am fine.
As far as people who have doxxed me and have put my username on display subjecting me to bullying and harassment, the irony of the entire thing is not lost to me .
The fact that Elriels accused me of threatening to subject someone to harassment, when I specifically did not mention any username or individual .... while simultaneously displaying my username not only on several public FB groups which I have SS of, but also in several posts on both Tumblr and Twitter is baffling . Don't they see that they literally did what they accused me of "wanting" to do?
Who is the only one who is being subject to harassment and bullying ? Me and somehow I am the person who is in the wrong here ?
Now , coming to the part of character assassination, this isn't about fictional characters or books anymore , these people have written horrible things about me as a person ... twisted something I said on a post which most certainly wasn't said in a serious manner its dumb to think it was ( How would someone force someone to write an English exam ? The entire thing was exaggerated and ridiculous) and have called me different things varying from a Psychotic bitch to a creepy person aka defamation thereby posing a threat to my emotional and mental well-being.
I have been in this fandom long enough and I have interacted with enough people that it should atleast give most people that I have interacted with a general idea of what I really am like.
I have mostly kept well away from Elriels , I don't engage with them in any manner if I can avoid it and I have gone ahead and blocked as many of them and their tags. So , I clearly have no intention of interacting with them irrespective of whether they are decent people or not , I simply don't see the necessity and its not my preference. This is the reason most of my interactions usually revolve around Gwynriels and they are the only ones I usually address even in my posts.
I am a part of this fandom for myself and I commission art because I like the creative aspect of it and I love interacting and supporting artists. This much everybody knows about me.
The locus of my identity is internal to me and my circle of validation is a total sum of 2 people - My husband and my child.
So for anyone who thinks they can bully me into going away from the fandom by twisting things and saying mean things about me... you are really wrong.
I honestly wasn't feeling right about BB milking the ship war and preying on vulnerable people while also not lending their support to artists who are integral to the fandom... which is why , I literally stated 2 days back that I would be stepping back from the SJM fandom till we have news on the next book.
But .....
If this is the sort of shit people try to pull with me then it's not about BB anymore, My priority now is bullies in the fandom. My priority is people who thought they could manipulate my people against me.....
I HAVE A FEW WEEKS OF WORK THAT NEEDS MY FOCUS BUT COME APRIL 21ST .... I AM COMING BACK ... WITH MORE CONTENT , MORE COLLABS , MORE GWYNRIEL INITIATIVES AND BETTER STRATEGIES AND YES I WILL BE BOOSTING SEVERAL GWYNRIEL ART PIECES ....CRY ME A RIVER
This is to Gywnriels, I will totally respect it if you guys would like to unfollow me based on the propaganda that's been in action by the Elriels. But seeing I have gained 15 followers in the last 2 days I am going to assume you guys truly understand what I am as a person and for that I am thankful and incredibly grateful 🙏. If you guys see posts of people displaying my username please report both the post and the blogger.
Now , I would like to go back to work because irrespective of who Azriel gets to fuck in the next book ... my work is what is important... its what feeds me and pays my bills.

this fandom might actually be the worst one I’ve seen!! I flip through a bunch of diff ship accounts bc listen, ship whoever you want, personally I am partial to elucien but I can admit there’s a lot of evidence for other ships as well. I like seeing all art for ALL the ships!! But then today I see a post about how we need Gwyn’s book because she is a victim of SA and it would be great to read a book about her healing journey.
Idk maybe it’s just me but I get annoyed when someone is always reduced down to their SA so I pointed out that Rhys & Lucien also had SA trauma and there has been no healing journey for them?? How are we going to fill an entire book for Gwyn?? Like, Sarah doesn’t seem to delve too much into healing journeys from SA (in ACOTAR at least 🤷🏻♀️ idk about other series) and tends to use it as a plot point to create a traumatic background character. It’s something that greatly annoys me tbh
And then I got yelled at?? And told to read the books again?? Like yes, I am a new reader, and yes it was a Gwyn Stan account (didn’t know that at the time, I literally just replied for the first time from a post I saw on my for you feed) - but nothing I said was anti-Gwyn (how could it be- she’s one of my favs too???) ?? I vaguely know there’s whatever ship war going on but I didn’t even comment on a ship post and I didn’t mention any other names/ships so I was genuinely confused about why I got yelled at on a post that only mentioned Gwyn.
All I said was I doubt Sarah is going to write an entire book about Gwyn’s healing journey ? It wasn’t even ship related so why did I get so much hate?? no wonder this fandom is filled with such toxicity, nobody new is allowed to join even casually unless they earn their masters degree of 16000 pages of analysis (apparently reading the books isnt enough?) and so it’s just filled with the same bitter people since whenever these books came out
Maybe bc I acknowledged I didn’t see her as a main character - because she’s not? She’s very much a side character but who cares? She’s still a favorite of mine? Two things can be possible at once, people!!!
Anyways, tldr I got a slap on the wrist and told I don’t know SJM if I think Gwyn is a side character and I’m just like ok I didn’t say she couldn’t be one later but based on the one book she is in… she is a side character?
I hate this mf fandom I should’ve stayed out of it. What did I even do?? I even apologized if anything I said about Rhys or Lucien was untrue?? And now I’m just annoyed because I should still be able to debate theories about my favorite books with people even if I don’t spend 24/7 reading PowerPoints on ship wars??
They got mad because you were right. That's it.
SJM doesn't write post-SA healing journeys. Again, you were right.
We've had male and female characters who were SAed, in TOG, Lysandra and Fenrys come to mind, in ACOTAR it's Rhys and Lucien and Gwyn, in CC it was Lidia (similar situation as Rhys/Lucien).
These aren't books for deep exploration of post-SA healing. I am sorry. This is an incredibly tough subject, without a singular answer. SO anything she'd do, wouldn't be taken well. Some will say 'too quick!' others will say 'not quick enough!' and everyone will have an opinion. The only reason Nesta got an extended healing (and not from SA) was because SJM used the same methods she used for her own issues. Working out, meditation, being with friends, balancing the physical and the mental, relying on her SO. Beyond that, all of SJMs 'healing' is training and being in love. Or nothing at all.
Gwynriels cant accept the fact that Gwyn is a secondary character. She is not more important than Emerie, or Mor, or anyone else, who's had terrible trauma. Her main was Nesta. Nesta's healed and Gwyn is secondary to Nesta. Gwyn's healing journey is over. She because stronger mentally and physically, she trained, she reached and conquered her 'mountain'. and that is all she needed to do.
They dont want to understand and accept that no one is interested in an 800 page of Gwyn's post-SA healing journey. Even they aren't. That's the truth. They want her with Azriel. Getting it on, having sex, being mated. They don't want to read any 'healing journey'. They want her going on missions, swinging her sword, being a badass, being with Azriel, having Gwynriel sex and having a normal fantasy heroine book. it's all performative. They just want Gwynriel. Is all.

Ok I admit haven't read the crescent city series. I stopped reading sjm after acofs because I couldn't stand to read more until I knew whether elucien and/or gwynriel happened. But I do look at the posts so I got a little bit of spoilers, which I don't really mind having.
Now today I kind of started a pinterest board titled "things elriels will probably regret saying" and I noticed that some of them are referencing a part of hosaf (?) where it's said that the cauldron had been corrupted.
Now... They didn't mention when the cauldron was corrupted, but apparently it's enough for elriels to go "The Cauldron is corrupted and maybe it's not making perfect 'bonding' choices and there IS something weird about the Elucien bond"...
Now... I don't know how much of this theory or this cauldron claim i should accept...
But isn't it oh so convenient that elain and lucien's bond could have been a mistake of the ✨corrupted✨ cauldron but nessa, who was thrown into the cauldron after elain and when the cauldron was supposedly already corrupted, and cassian's is genuine and true instead?
#please I can't#i accept spoilers#at this point I don't even care anymore#What's with this cauldron business#anti elriel#acotar#pro elucien#pro nessian#acomaf#hosaf spoilers#hosaf

Sleeping On The Job
Pairing: Gwyn x Azriel
Ok, I know I haven't posted in over a month but I was really busy with school so here's a gwynriel oneshot! Hope you enjoy. I'm the author (please don't repost) <3
Masterlist. Read on Ao3
Warnings: 18+, sub!az x dom!gwyn, kissing, leading into sex
Word Count: 1.8k
Description: While on a practice mission Gwyn gets tired so she and Az stop to sleep in a cave. Gwyn gets cold and Az wrestles with his emotions.
They had been walking for hours, tracking this thing and Gwyn was exhausted. When Azriel had suggested that they move her practice outside of the ring she hadn’t been expecting this. This was torture. She’d been up before the sun had even started to light up the sky and it was already dark now.
A few feet up ahead the shadowsinger crept through the woods, his footsteps went undetected. Cloaked by the night and his shadows, Gwyn could hardly see him. She followed suit, careful not to step on any fallen leaves or twigs. With every little noise her heartbeat quickened, apprehensive that they had been caught. Logically Gwyn knew that Az would never take her out on a practice run without making sure that she was in no real danger. And even if something did happen, they were both armed to the teeth.
An owl hooted in the distance. Gwyn’s head twisted so fast that her braid whipped in her face, hard. Then, to her surprise she heard a low chuckle. He was laughing! How dare he? It was his fault she was so tired. And cold. And nervous. She had been training with the shadowsinger late at night whenever neither of them could sleep for months now. If she did well on this practice mission then she might eventually get sent out on a mission of her own. She didn’t think she could bear it if she failed, especially in front of Az.
Their friendship had grown in their time spent together training and lately she had noticed that she felt much more at ease with him. Sharing stories and laughing together. Teasing him about his widely known crush on her best friend, Nesta’s younger sister. How he could be so obvious when his job was to be a spy was beyond her. It was only lately that she had started to experience a pang in her chest whenever he mentioned the beautiful Elain. And when he had stopped talking about her, seemingly moved on, she was happy.
They were friends and yet she was happy that the person he liked had decided to try to make things work with her mate. What kind of friend did that make her? Nesta and Emerie would tell her she was jealous if they could hear her thoughts. That is, they would if she had confessed to them how she had begun to feel.
Despite her changing feelings she was still determined to remain his friend. It was better to have him in her life as a friend but always wishing for more instead of losing him forever because of a crush. Oh, but there were times when she wished that she wasn’t such a coward when it came to him. How could she be brave when it came to fighting for her life and the life of her fellow Valkyries but when it came to telling someone she liked him she couldn’t say a thing. And she had tried. Many times. But there was nothing to do for it. Everytime she would open her mouth and nothing would come out. She would just be stuck standing there with her mouth opening and closing like one of the fish in the river they were crossing.
He went first to make sure it was safe. It was times like these that she could hardly resist him. When he made it to the other side he turned around, his expression encouraging. Taking a tentative step across she hurried across. She was almost on the other side when she lost her balance.
But, he caught her. His arm slid around her waist, securing her. After he had steadied her his arm retreated back to his side. She mourned its loss. He turned away and kept walking into the darkness. It welcomed him like an old friend, allowing him to hide within. And yet, when most could not see any of him she still could. Perhaps it was his conscious effort to ensure she never lost sight of him or maybe it was his shadows reassuring her that he was never far from her side. At this point she would never know.
They kept on creeping along through the trees, weaving through the tree trunks and hanging branches that occasionally brushed Gwyn's hair. With every step her feet had a harder time lifting themselves from the ground. It was as if she were walking through sludge. Her eyes slowly crept closed, preventing her from seeing a tree root sticking up from the ground. Her foot caught on it and she stumbled. She quickly righted herself and kept on trailing behind her companion.
“We can stop and rest if you want.” Az had paused to offer Gwyn an opportunity to take a break. He knew that she would walk, dead on her feet, until they completed this practice mission but he also knew that she had awoken early as always this morning. She needed her sleep.
Defiant as ever, she shook her head. “No, we should keep going.”
“You could say that without yawning. We’re stopping. Come on, there's a cave near here where we can take shelter.”
Under normal circumstances she might have protested but her need for sleep was too great. She couldn’t keep her eyes open for more than a few seconds before it became too tiring to keep them open. “Fine.” She grumbled, secretly relieved.
Before she knew it they were no longer in the open air. The walls of the cave stopped the wind from causing her to shiver. She watched, barely awake as Azriel gathered firewood and lit a fire. She also, somehow, was awake enough to catch the slight tremor on his hands as he started the fire. Her heart clenched for his younger self who had had to endure such terrible things at the hands of his half-brothers.
The warmth of the fire was a welcome treat. Laying on her side she curled into a ball, hoping that her clothes would be enough to keep her warm. Azriel stood guard at the entrance of the cave. He alternated between watching for possible threats and Gwyn sleeping. It was certainly not the first time that his mind had remarked on how cute she was. Her face scrunched up a bit, almost as if she could hear his thoughts. He had always thought her beautiful but lately he had taken more notice.
After centuries of fruitless pining for Mor and, more recently, Elain he had sworn off of letting someone else be the reason why he felt bad about himself. With Mor he had always wondered whether he would ever be good enough for her. Later, with Elain, he had been doomed from the start. Before he let himself fall for the sweet and spunky Gwyn he would wait until he felt more certain she would welcome his advances. With her more than anyone he wanted to take his time. He didn’t want to rush anything.
Gwyn’s shivering shook him from his thoughts. Despite her cloak, her leathers, and the fire she was still cold. Before he could give it a second thought he commanded his shadows to watch over the cave for him. Then, approaching the shivering priestess he took his own cloak off, placing it over her. And yet, it still wasn’t enough.
Already cursing himself for what he’s about to do he walks around her and lies down behind her, keeping a few inches of space between them. Then, carefully, he unfurled one of his wings and allowed it to cocoon her.
She shifted in her sleep. Holding himself still, he watched on as she turned around to face him. He watched as she inched closer, eyes still closed. She let loose a puff of air that hit his wing right where it was most sensitive. He stiffened, trying to keep a leash on the scent of his arousal. If she woke now to see him lying so close to her so clearly aroused she would never speak to him again. Nor would Nesta or any of his other friends. He could picture it so clearly in his mind's eye. In all of his time of knowing his brother’s mate he had always known that there were no limits to how far she would go for her family. Despite being centuries old he would be lying if he said that Nesta couldn’t scare him.
What’s more nobody would stop her if she tried to kill him and if he was being honest he would probably let her. He wouldn’t want to live in a world where he had made Gwyn uncomfortable. It was a fucking nightmare.
He was so utterly lost in his thoughts that he never noticed when she woke up or how long she had been watching him.
“Thanks for keeping me warm.”
His eyes shot to hers, which were shining with amusement. His cheeks reddened with embarrassment. She laughed, “So, should I comment on the change in scent?”
With a blink of an eye he shot up and was standing on the other side of the cave.
“Awww, are you a little shy? Don’t worry, I don't mind.”
Could it be possible? She certainly didn’t seem uncomfortable, if anything she was amused. Maybe he had been wrong, maybe he did have a chance. For the first time in centuries he felt a spark of hope.
“Truly?”
“Yeah, get back over here.”
At his hesitant approach she motioned with her hand to encourage him. He knelt next to her, still keeping some distance between them. Well, that just wouldn’t do. Gwyn reached out with her hand and placed it on his shoulder. At his lack of protest she leaned and kissed him. Planting her hand more firmly, she pushed him to the ground. He made a small noise. Pulling back she noticed that one of his wings was caught under him.
“Poor Illyrian baby.”
She readjusted his wings, her soft hands brushing against the most sensitive part of them. Her position left no doubt of his reaction. Laughing softly under her breath she brushed against the same spot with more intent. Obscene moans fell from his honeyed lips. She leaned back down, capturing his lips with her own.
Her hands slid down to find his which had been fluttering around her waist and placed the more firmly around her waist before letting her hands drift back up to tangle in his hair. She could feel when he grew more confident that this wasn’t a dream. His hands slid down and under her clothes to cover her ass.
“I’ve dreamt of this for so long.” He murmured. She was gazing into his eyes, mesmerized by how wondrous he looked.
Biting her lip, she admitted, “Me too

The four
A/N: OK, I wrote these chapters for my fanfic and I thought it was too good to just leave it in my native language. Again English is not my native language, so I apologize in advance for any mistakes.
Summary: After a night out the girls Gwyn and Nesta return home where they decide to try something new, but their partners arrive at exactly the right time and Cassian ends up having an idea that took all the peace of Azriel.
Warnings: VERY NSFW, Gwynriel+Nessian foursome.
Total Words: 4062
*
The girls' night had been a real success with drinking and lots of music and dancing, Gwyn had even sang on stage at Rita's and from the applause she received I knew she had literally rocked it, but she wasn't the main focus of the night, but Morrigan and Emerie who had finally publicly assumed their romance and didn't make a point of hiding the caresses on the dance floor, exchanging kisses and dancing together.
It had undoubtedly been one of the best nights of their lives, even Feyre's, the first night she'd gone out without Rhysand leaving the High Lord in charge of their son. She and Gwyn were on a good friendship, actually a great one and they both wanted to hang out more with each other, or in a group as they were doing and even Amren agreed that this activity was very liberating without having a male sniffing around her every move.
When it was around two in the morning everyone was too drunk to continue and decided to go home. Feyre left Nesta and Gwyn at the House of Wind before she left, and the two friends walked around in each other's arms, laughing drunk and bumping into everything in their path. At one point Gwyn fell and started laughing so hard that she couldn't get up and Nesta, when she went to help her, fell too on top of her and they laughed as tears ran down their face.
With much effort and several bumps and falls, the pair arrived at the main room of the House, the room that had High Lords own some day and now belonged to Nesta and Cassian and was a huge room with a gigantic bed where the two of them threw themselves later after throw the high-heeled sandals to any corner.
They lay next to each other on their backs still laughing.
“Did you see that male's face when you said I was Azriel's mate?” Gwyn said laughing.
“Yea!” replied Nesta. “I thought he was going to piss his pants!”
“He went to the bathroom right after” Gwyn replied turning to her friend who turned to her. “Your makeup is all smudged.”
"Yours is no different," Nesta said. "Aren't you upset that Emerie didn't tell us about the Morrigan?"
Gwyn sighed and leaned her head on her arm.
"No," she said. “I understand they wanted to keep it a secret, especially Morrigan.”
Nesta clicked her tongue.
“I stayed for a while, after all, we never told anyone anything...”
“Besides our mates” they said together and laughed, but soon they calmed down.
It was then that Gwyn noticed Nesta's drunk blue gray gaze over her mouth.
“Have you ever kissed another female?” asked her friend, looking back at Gwyn who raised her eyebrows.
“No... I don't think I ever wanted to” she said lifting her body and supporting her weight on her arm and Nesta did the same, they were too close.
“But were you curious?” asked Nesta and Gwyn gave a small smile.
"I won't say no," she said and Nesta smiled broadly, putting her free hand on Gwyn's arm that rested on the redhead's body.
"Me too," said the female, and Gwyn bit her lower lip.
“Do you think they'll be upset if we try it?” Gwyn asked and Nesta shrugged.
"What eyes don't see..." said the blue-grey-eyed valkyrie.
"The heart doesn't feel," Gwyn added.
Nesta then brought the hand that was sliding over her friend's arm to her face and Gwyn closed her eyes and Nesta's full lips touched hers and it was a different sensation. They were much softer than Azriel's, more delicate and wine-tasting.
They separated and looked into each other's eyes and smiled broadly at each other and Gwyn took her hands to her friend's face who also took hers to the redhead's and they kissed again and this time their tongues entered the other's mouth exchanging slow caresses, the lips sliding over the other's and the kiss deepening a little more.
“What the fuck is this?!” Cassian's voice echoed through the room making them move away quickly and jump sitting on the bed.
Panting and wide-eyed, they both saw their mates standing in the doorway looking at them in a way that would make anyone fall to their knees and ask for forgiveness.
The two Valkyries looked at each other and then back at the Illyrian males, arms crossed, brows furrowed, wings slightly spread.
“We can explain...” Gwyn was saying and Azriel just arched an eyebrow making her shrug her shoulders.
“Of everyone I never thought that Gwyn was a threat to my relationship. Really, Nesta?” Cassian said indignantly.
"Stop crying," Nesta said, getting up still wobbly from the alcohol. “Me and Gwyn were just testing something...”
“With your tongues inside each other's mouths?” Azriel asked, uncrossing his arms and now walking towards Gwyn who was looking at him from under her eyelashes. For Mother's sake, when he got angry it was like lighting a fire inside her.
"We were curious about kissing another female," Gwyn said to her mate, who bent to take her by the arm and pull her out of Nesta and Cassian's bed. “Only that.”
Az raised his eyebrows as he held Gwyn's arm without taking his eyes off her.
"That's no big deal, so stop playing the prude," Nesta said, going to Cassian who looked down to face her. “It was just a little kiss.”
"Oh, honey, that was nothing compared to a little kiss," Cassian said, putting his hand around Nesta's neck and sliding his thumb down her throat. “And did you like it?”
"Cass," Azriel said in warning, pulling Gwyn toward him.
Nesta looked at her and Gwyn bit her lower lip and waved lightly, the result was an angry growl coming from Azriel and he pulled her hard to the rigid body and without meaning to a little moan came out of Gwyn who put her hands on her’s dressed black mate broad chest.
"We like it," Nesta said, looking at Cassian again. “Why all this insecurity? We're best friends, we won't trade you just because we kiss...”
"I think it's enough," Azriel said without taking his eyes off Gwyn, who brought her fingertips to his neck, stroking there slowly. “Tomorrow we'll talk.”
"Wait, Az," Cassian said and everyone looked at him. “This situation gave me a good idea...”
"No," Azriel replied.
“What is?” asked Gwyn and he pulled her closer to him.
"Yeah, hubby," Nesta said with a viper smile and placed her hands on Cass's shoulders. – What is it?”
Cassian gave a wide, mischievous smile, the big hands gliding through Nesta's curves.
“Since you were enjoying it, why don't you continue while we watch?” the general said, and Gwyn's eyes widened and she went red as a pepper.
"No," Azriel replied. “Enough of this conversation. Come on Gwyn.”
He was taking her towards the door when Gwyn broke free of him walking backwards and almost falling, her luck was to fall sitting on the edge of the bed.
"Fine with me," the redhead said and Nesta looked at her in surprise. “What about you, Nesta?”
Azriel growled and frowned, his shadows hiding as he glared at Gwyn.
"Ah..." She looked at Cassian seeing the general's eyes filled with seductive blazing fire and he smiled. “Well, it's fine by me.”
Gwyn's friend went to the bed and climbed on it, kneeling there and the redhead soon followed her, standing in front of her in the same position while Cassian took a chair and sat down.
That night had just gotten even more interesting.
***
Azriel's blood boiled, roared like an erupting volcano, he never thought he'd be jealous of Nesta with Gwyn, but arriving and catching the two of them kissing like that made him completely lose his way in the midst of jealousy, but he had to admitting that seeing his beautiful mate kissing another female had been quite... Good, so much so that he wanted to drag Gwyn to their bedroom and knew he couldn't wait to get there until he got to him to take her violently.
But now he was about to punch Cassian out of his mind for having given the idea to those two now sitting on their knees on the bed opposite each other, their night dresses pulled up and bunched up to their toned thighs.
“Are you going to stand there?” said Cassian with masculine arrogance. “The show is about to start.”
Azriel grunted and huffed and Gwyn looked at him, she was waiting for him to sit down it was clear. Defeated and completely enraged, the shadowsinger grabbed a chair and sat down three feet away from his brother.
"A question," Nesta said. “Are we just kissing on the mouth or... In other places?”
"It's up to you to decide," Cassian said crossing his arms. "Let's just watch." He looked at Azriel who didn't take his eyes off the females.
His leg began to beat non-stop with nervousness, his hands on his knees closed. By the gods, that was no good.
The two females then looked at each other and shrugged, Nesta brought her delicate hands to Gwyn's face and Azriel's mate put hers to the Valkyrie's hip and then...
No, no, no!
Azriel thought as he saw Gwyn kissing Nesta, mouths opening and tongues making contact immediately. Cassian started to laugh.
"Holy shit, this is going to be really good." Azriel's brother put his hands behind his head as he gritted his teeth hard watching the females kiss hungrily.
Gwyn took her hands to Nesta's hairstyle, releasing the valkyrie's hair, it was one of the few seconds when they parted smiling broadly at each other and then kissing again. Then they stood up, their bodies joining them and still getting to their knees, their breasts pressing against each other, the straps of their dresses falling, hands sliding over each other's body, groping their breasts, squeezing their ass and thighs, pulling up the skirts of the dresses.
Cassian shifted in his chair and Azriel glanced at him from the corner of his eye, still sulking, but he could see and smell his brother's arousal.
Would he be mad that his brother is turned on because of his mate was kissing and sliding her hands down Azriel's mate's body? No, he wouldn't, because Azriel himself felt he was going to explode with lust watching those two.
Nesta then lowered her kisses down Gwyn's neck who lifted her face giving her friend more access to that point. Azriel's mate half opened her eyes meeting his gaze and she smiled when Nesta reached her breasts and nibbled Gwyn's nipple through the fabric, their scent invaded Azriel's nostrils and Cassian's growl had reached him too and he knew that the brother was controlling himself as he was listening to the groans of their mates.
The two females got up standing on the bed, Nesta turned her back to Gwyn who opened her gray dress causing it to fall on the feet of the valkyrie who kicked him to the floor and now Nesta was only in a tiny black lace panties and now helped Gwyn taking off the black dress that had also been discarded to the floor and the ginger was now wearing navy blue lace panties.
"Fuck..." said Cassian, who leaned a little to Azriel's side. “You are very well served, my brother.”
Azriel didn't want to smile, but a small smile curved the corner of his lips as Nesta lay back and Gwyn straddled her returning the kiss as Nes ran her’s hands down the redhead's back and over her ass, then up her stomach and breasts while Gwyn he also caressed her breasts.
"You too, brother..." Azriel said, relaxing more in his chair.
Gwyn went down to Nesta's full breasts and licked the hard nipple of her friend who trembled and ran her nails down the back of the redhead who was now sucking her breasts and massaging them.
“Do they know how to suck pussy?” asked Cassian and Azriel shrugged, crossing his arms and smiling proudly at his mate who looked at him with each lick and kiss, just as Nesta moaned looking at Cassian.
The priestess took her hands to Nesta's panties and got on her knees helping her friend to remove the garment and when fully naked, the Archeron grabbed the panties wet by her own moisture and threw it at Cassian who caught it in the air. Az could see his brother shivering grabbing those panties while his mate giggled, but Nesta's giggle turned to a groan as Gwyn licked her soaked sex and then began sucking on them.
She brought her hands to Gwyn's red hair, pulling it as she arched her body forward and looked at Cassian who was shaking so much that the chair he was sitting on creaked and Azriel... He studied his mate sucking Nesta, saw how she held the female thighs, the way she pinned her to the mattress… He laughed. But what a good student Gwyn was.
"Right," said Azriel, standing up and Gwyn stopped to look at him.
Nesta and Cassian also stared at him as he took off his black shirt freeing his torso leaving him naked.
“Will you let me enjoy it alone, Cass?” Said the spymaster now removing his boots and socks and then his pants releasing his throbbing erection and Nesta's discredited gasp was simply epic.
Cassian jumped out of his chair and undressed at record speed and Gwyn looked at him too, raised her eyebrows and then looked at Nesta.
"Fuck," said Nesta, sitting down while Gwyn wiped her sticky mouth without taking her eyes off Azriel, who was heading towards his mate.
“Don't worry” Cassian said getting on his knees behind his mate and making her lie down again. “You know it fits.”
Gwyn extending her arms to Azriel who patted them down and grabbed one of them forcing her to stay in doggystyle and Gwyn groaned with her face again between Nesta's legs.
"Only one thing," said Azriel, standing behind Gwyn, who was shivering and looking over her shoulder at him. “We will command...”
"A question," Nesta said. “Will we be able to switch mates?”
The two amles looked at each other and Azriel pulled Gwyn to him holding her against his body, causing her to look at Cassian.
“Okay for you?” Asked and his mate swallowed hard.
“Are you okay with this, Nes?” she asked and Nesta laughed.
“Are you joking?” she looked up looking at Gwyn who smiled and turned to face Azriel.
“You won't be jealous, will you?” she asked and Azriel growled.
“Love” he said smiling innocently. “I'm already jealous.”
Gwyn opened her mouth and he pushed her back between Nesta's legs keeping her in frame, made her turn her ass towards him and Azriel ripped the panties the female was wearing making her moan.
"Suck it again, now," Azriel ordered and Gwyn shakily obeyed, drawing a moan from Nesta that was soon muffled by Cassian's cock in her mouth.
Azriel and his brother gave a proud male smile and the spymaster bent down behind his mate, separate her buttocks and then licked her wet length causing Gwyn to stop sucking Nesta and moaning.
"I didn't tell you to stop," Azriel growled, making his mate return oral sex on her friend while he himself introduced his tongue into Gwyn, drawing her almost to a scream.
As Azriel devoured his mate, Cassian filled the mouth with his as he massaged her heavy, full breasts, the commander thrust his hips, thrusting his cock deep into Nesta's throat, sometimes he withdrew to let her take a breath amid the moans and then went back to her suck it.
Gwyn's body was shaking as Azriel sucked on her clit, played with his tongue as she did the same with Nesta and soon she noticed that they were both nearing orgasm together and Cassian started to moan louder, his wings trembling and then Gwyn pulled away from Nesta to moan loudly as she came with Azriel sucking her and Nesta came too with Cassian in her mouth as he poured himself down the back of her throat.
"For the Mother…" swore a shaky Gwyn as Azriel walked away from her and leaned over her resting his chin on her beloved's shoulder as they watched Nesta take Cassian's seed until the general take his cock out his his mate’s mouth.
The four were already panting, but by the look the two Illyrians gave them they knew they were far from finished.
“Nesta” Cassian called pulling his mate up and turning her towards him and getting between her legs while Azriel turned Gwyn towards him.
The two males arranged the females so that now Nesta's head was between Gwyn's legs and the redhead was facing her mate who gave her a thirsty, possessive kiss, bringing his scarred hands up to her ass and squeezing there tightly as Gwyn shivered and moaned in his arms.
Cassian pumped his hand over his already hardened cock and positioned it at the entrance of Nesta who was looking at him and Gwyn's sex.
"Suck her, love," Cassian said, leaning over as he penetrated Nesta, drawing a pleasurable moan from her.
Gwyn stopped kissing Azriel and looked over her shoulder at the couple of friends and then looked at Az who just with a look down ordered her to suck him at that moment and she obeyed, without taking her eyes off his lowered her body. She held Azriel's cock and licked his head slowly and clasped her hand around it as Nesta and Cassian together began to suck her core.
“Holy shit...” cursed Gwyn and Azriel smiled satisfied as she started to suck him hard while being sucked by two people at the same time, but soon Cassian stopped getting erect on his knees holding Nesta's hips as he now thrust his hips slowly against hers.
Azriel rolled his eyes and took one of his hands to his lover's hair, holding it tightly, he didn't fit all in Gwyn's mouth, so much so that she had to work with her hand and mouth together, but it was very good, he could reach the back of her throat with no problems.
“Cassian!” groaned Nesta when Azriel's brother was rougher and Gwyn groaned when Nesta stopped pleasuring her.
"Enough," said Azriel, taking his cock out of Gwyn's mouth, and she looked at him, totally drunk with pleasure. "Cass," he called and his brother looked at him and nodded, pulling away from Nesta.
Azriel got down on the bed and turned Gwyn onto her back so that her feet on the floor and her torso on the mattress and Cassian did the same to Nesta.
The four were now face to face and the two males penetrated their mates at once making them scream in pleasure. Nesta swore at her mate who leaned over and gave her a lingering kiss as he thrust into her hard.
But Azriel, he didn't move while he was inside Gwyn, not now. He took her hands tying them behind her back, holding them with one hand of his and leaned over Gwyn holding her hair and pulling her back making her look up and watch Nesta get fucked by Cassian.
“Do you like to watch?” He asked in the ear of Gwyn that rolled his eyes and licked his reddened and swollen lips. “Do you?”
Nesta screamed with pleasure again grabbing the sheets and looked at Gwyn that Azriel licked her neck and then his free hand went between his mate's legs and with two fingers he began to massage her clit, and Gwyn moaned and if it wasn't for the bed holding her she would have fallen to her knees.
"I…" she gave a thin groan. “I like...”
Azriel grinned and looked at Cassian who smiled too. The spymaster moved away from his mate, standing erect behind her and began to forcefully make her scream with pleasure, just like Nesta, she couldn't say who was moaning louder, it was a good competition, but both had tears escaping from their eyes, they were sweating and their bodies were scarred by bites and hickeys from mates who moaned and growled with pleasure in their ears.
He heard one calling to the other, Nesta understanding the hand for Gwyn to take it, but the redhead's arms were tied.
“Fuck” Cassian roared as he came again and Nesta screamed with pleasure having an orgasm with her mate while Azriel was still far from reaching the peak, unlike his mate whose inner walls squeezed him.
Her moans and breathing went totally ragged and her body shook uncontrollably as she climaxed, squeezing Azriel's cock so hard it made him come with her making him fall onto her back. He pressed his forehead to the side of her head and she turned her face slightly towards him with her eyes closed.
Cassian was leaning over Nesta, the weight of his huge body supported on the hands that led the trembling and sweaty body of his mate.
Azriel placed kisses on Gwyn's hot, sweaty face, released her hands, which then slipped through the sheet and one of them went to the back of his neck, stroking there.
"I can't feel my legs," she said softly to him and Azriel laughed as did Cassian and Nesta.
"There are two of us," Nesta replied.
"Too bad," Azriel said mockingly, pulling away from Gwyn, causing some of his seed to flow out.
Cassian did the same with Nesta and soon the two of them laid their mates on the bed, making them stand with their heads next to each other and the two males didn't take long to snatch the sexes of their mates who groaned in response. As they were still ecstatic from the orgasm they would go slowly and when they both looked at their mates faces they were kissing again slowly, tongues dancing sensually and that sight was enough to make them hard again.
Azriel and Cassian climbed up to their faces and didn't make them stop, they just joined them in a group kiss, at one point Azriel was kissing Nesta, at another moment Cassian was kissing Gwyn and soon the four of them were kissing, barely they could tell which tongue was whose tongue, which mouth bit or sucked.
Soon they were back in their mateships, this time more calmly, but soon the movements became wild, sweat trickling down Azriel's back causing the scratches that Gwyn had given there to sting, the sound of his and Cassian's skin slapping against each other females were so loud that it mingled with the moans of the group, until then like a shock wave the pleasure washed over all four of them, drawing moans and screams of pleasure, causing Azriel to see stars in Gwyn's eyes.
When they were done, the two males lay down beside their exhausted mates, as did they. Though shaky and barely in control of her body, Gwyn went to Azriel's chest and lay there, which made him smile chastely and put his arms around her waist and looked at Cassian who was lying on his side with Nesta held in his arms. The female and he looked at Gwyn and Azriel.
"I admit it," Cassian said. “It was the best idea of the night.”
Nesta clicked her tongue and slapped him on the arm and Azriel laughed, Gwyn followed with a weak laugh and turned her face to his chest nuzzling there and giving him a kiss.
“Are you okay?” he asked and Gwyn lifted her face to look at him.
“Ask me tomorrow” she said smiling broadly and he laughed giving her a long kiss.
Az looked back at Cass and Nesta again seeing that they were now asleep.
“Let's go to our room.”
Said the spymaster taking his mate off him. He got up and put on his pants, grabbed her dress and sandals and his other garments, then walked over to Gwyn who only reached out to be caught by the mate who took her and then they walked out of the main room of the House of Wind, and what had happened inside there could never come out.
Never.

I’m not gonna link the post so I’ll just type what was said because I want to know your thoughts/comments on this.
An E/riel said “It's funny how Az likes music so much but wanted to shut Gwyn up when she was talking to him about singing. Not very mate-like behavior if you ask me. If you're going to base the argument for your ship on hobbies, you may want to make sure both parties are actually interested in sharing said hobbies with one another. Compare that to him staying up past 3am to talk to Elain about her garden plans, sitting in the garden with her, staring out the window towards the garden. It's almost like interest in the partner is more important that sharing an interest.”
let me start by saying i'm flattered you'd want to know my thoughts on anything lol love you anon 🩷
firstly, my god they are all so bitter and hostile. they can't even make one post without sounding as if they're on the verge of a tantrum
secondly, if az wanted gwyn to shut up he WOULD'VE LEFT. HE HAD MULTIPLE OPPORTUNITIES TO. GWYN EVEN DISMISSED HIM BUT GUESS WHAT? HE STAYED AND BANTERED WITH HER. HE ENJOYS HER COMPANY. they want az to hate gwyn so badly because they're so threatened and it's genuinely hilarious. also gwynriel's mate behavior isn't their love of singing? it's the spark in his chest?? it's the smile he had to consciously erase at the thought of her joy??? it's them both being carynthians, making them LITERAL EQUALS????
thirdly, showing an interest in someone's hobbies is the bare fucking minimum in ANY relationship, platonic ones included, so uh... congrats i guess? you got me there?? that didn't stop az from avoiding elain, calling their almost kiss a mistake to her face, not giving one shit about a future together, treating her like a child and pouting when she didn't worship the ground he walks on for helping save her, now did it?
ok as someone who has actual experience with real life romantic relationships (unlike e/riels), how az has treated elain and his thoughts towards her aren't good. at all. it's not "couple goals", it's "he needs fucking therapy". he needs to work on himself before any kind of relationship, no matter who it's with. having things in common with your partner is good and healthy!! as is showing an interest in things you don't share!!! this is literally such a stupid argument, they're really being forced to scrape the bottom of the barrel!!!!
overall i think this e/riel (like many others) is scared and taking it out on gwyn because they're a major loser who makes a boring ship their entire personality. they don't care about canon because they'll just twist it to suit their needs, as shown time and time again. they literally give off cult behavior because absolutely everything sjm does is somehow "soft launching" their ship. they want to be the main characters so badly but the truth is they're not even fan favorite background characters :/
ps this was sarah's face when steph brought up an e/riel take. even she finds their nasty, mean girl behavior off putting
#sorry if a snark filled post isnt exactly what you wanted#but i genuinely cant do anything but laugh at things like this#several jobs and real life relationships are needed for e/riels#antielriel#anti e/riel#asks#anonymous

15. “Hey. You know I love you, right?”
Gwynriel?? Please???
Prompts
I know this is supposed to be a serious prompt but the first thing that came to mind made me laugh…
---
"Azriel..."
At his girlfriend's sing-song voice, Az glanced up from video game he and his friends were playing. Gwyn waltzed into the room with a sweet smile that made him smile in return. Particularly when she came to stand beside him, perching a hip on the side of the couch. Her fingers brushed through his hair and he tilted his head back, eyes closing as he basked in the feeling. He hadn't been prone to PDA before he met Gwyn, but she brought something out in him. Beside him, he knew his friends were pretending not to notice.
"Yes, love?"
"You know I love you right?" she crooned. It should have been a giant flashing red light, that tone. His friends certainly seemed to think so, both of them sucking in sharp breaths and looking distinctly uncomfortable.
Azriel, however, was lulled into a sense of safety by the soothing strokes of her fingers. He grinned dreamily up at her. "I love you, too."
He thought he heard Cassian mumble something like "He's in for it."
Gwyn hummed and smiled back at him, stroking his cheek. His senses finally began to tingle with a hint of danger at the glint in her teal eyes. "Then perhaps you can explain to me why you ate all of my Rocky Road ice cream?” She punctuated the question with a tap on his nose that made him blink.
Rhys snorted as he and Cassian ducked their heads, suddenly very absorbed in the still paused game. Azriel’s eyes widened as he spluttered- “I-did not!”
Gwyn crossed her arms and looked down at him. “You’re a terrible liar.”
Without thinking, Az responded, “I’m an amazing liar.”
Gwyn’s eyes narrowed, her nostrils flaring slightly. Behind him, he heard Rhys let out a low whistle. Panicking, Az all but tossed his controller aside and shot up to his kneel beside her, almost strangling himself in the chord for the headset he forgot he was still wearing.
“That is not what I meant.” He grabbed her hands, pulling them to his chest before she could pull away from him. “I would never lie to you, dove. I swear.”
She gave a delicate sniff of disbelief, turning away from him. He squeezed her hands tighter. “And I’m not lying about this.” He was positive- almost positive… he had been very hungry when he stumbled in after work last night with a sweet tooth…
But no, he knew better than to touch Gwyn’s sacred stash- as she called it. He didn’t even like Rocky Road. He was a butter pecan man, all the way. But on the rare occasion he got a craving for sweets, it didn’t always matter what the flavor was, so long as the main ingredient was sugar.
“Fuck,” he muttered, squeezing his eyes shut. Maybe he had eaten it. “I’ll get you some more. I’ll go right now, ok. Just- don’t be mad at me, please.” He stood, moving around the couch towards the door even as he still held her hands, bending down to shower the backs of them with kisses.
Her eyes narrowed a moment longer before she acquiesced with a purse of her lips and roll of her eyes. He held back a smile. It wasn’t safe to smile until she had a fresh container of rocky road in her hands. “I love you,” he said, stealing a kiss before releasing her and practically sprinting for the door. Scooping up his keys and wallet, he stuffed his feet in his shoes and just heard her says she loved him back as the door closed behind him.
The room was silent for a moment as they all watched the door after Azriel left. Once they heard his engine rumble away, Cassian leaned back on the couch and said “you know it was me who ate your ice cream right? Sorry, Gwynnie.”
A smirk played over her lips as she turned to him. “Oh I know. I also knew if Az thought it was him, he’d not only immediately go get more, but would likely spend all night making up for it.” She grinned, winking.
Cass and Rhys laughed appreciatively. “Devious,” Rhys muttered as she fell into the seat Az had just vacated, taking up his mic and controller.
“Now, where are we.”

Ookay. Well. I did it. I wrote my idea out instead of doing my homework. Oops. Oh well no regrets.
Summary: Right after their mating, Elain unknowingly brings an old frined to the House of Wind and Cassian goes feral. A little smutty at the beginning, cute nessian, a little bit of post-acosf plot, and jealous/possesive Cassian! (since we were robbed in acosf)
Word count: ~2500
Author’s note: this is barely edited and i have never written smut before so pls be kind :) also i am still working on other prompts this one was just screaming at me. Also pls note i am not an elriel stan nor am i an elucien and gwynriel stan. I am a stan for whatever makes the characters happiest and was literally just following the post plot of acosf so pls dont come after me. Ok enjoy!
————————————————————————
Lying next to her, more like on top of her, Nesta stared at her mate in wonder. She never knew the kind of peace and joy she currently felt, lying there with him. Just last night she and Cassian had been mated, and their night together had been thorough. She had whispered to him how she loved him over and over and he had reverently worshiped her body in return. He had returned the sentiment to her in words, but the way he knew to express his love was through physical touch, and she more than felt it last night.
“I can feel you staring,” Cassian murmured, with his eyes still closed.
“I was just admiring,” she replied. Cassian’s eyes opened at that, and in them she saw the love and lust shining through. She kissed his lips softly, then his jaw, slowly moving her way down his body showing him how much she admired it. Cassian groaned when she reached his cock and took him in her mouth.
“Nesta”, he groaned. He gently gathered up the loose hair with his hand as she continued to suck until he came with a groan, yelling her name. She looked up at him with a gleam in her eye as she wiped her mouth, and licked her fingers. He pulled her up to him, kissing her thoroughly, as he began to return the favor. Nesta moaned at his thoroughness as he went down on her, licking her clean. When she began to temple from her incoming climax, she shouted his name to the ceiling, praying that they were alone in the house. She expected they were, as no one was foolish enough to get in between mates during a frenzy. Afterwards, they both lay there as they held each other closely and once more drifted off to sleep.
**
Elain knew they thought her weak. That all she did was garden, but gardens made her happy and who was to deny themselves the pleasure of doing something they enjoyed. Lifting a flower out of one of her pots, she gently turned it around to admire the pink petals and bright green leaves before carefully putting it into the soil next to the other plants.
“There”, she thought. The row was perfect now, and she was satisfied with taking a short break now. Honestly, she was starving, having forgotten to stop and eat since she’d gotten so consumed in making the perfect row of flowers.
“Excuse me,” a voice behind her coughed.
Elain whipped around, startled to find a tall, dark haired Illyrian standing there. This wasn’t an Illyrian she knew, but rather one who looked quite cleaned up, except for the slightly crooked nose. Truthfully, he has a bit of a baby face besides the nose, Elain mused to herself. He was wearing the traditional Illyrian leathers, but donned only one, maybe two siphons. Considerably less than Cassian and Azriel.
“Can I help you with something?” Elain asked as she shielded her eyes from the sun to stare up at him. She was wary of this stranger, but he seemed friendly enough that Elaine would first find out what he was looking for.
“Sorry to bother you, but I was looking for High Lord Rhysand’s house?” He nervously shuffled his feet, and Elain couldn’t help but smile to herself at how skittish he looked. He didn’t even really look at her while he was speaking. Elain couldn’t help but like him.
“I’m sorry, what did you say your name was?”
“Sorry. Balthazar.” he reached out his hand to her, and Elain took it with faint amusement.
“I’m looking for the High Lord, as he asked me here to do something for him.”
He still had the nervous look about him, but the name registered in Elain’s mind. Balthazar…
Suddenly, it came to Elain, and she gasped before exclaiming, “You're the one who was in the rite with Nesta weren’t you?”
“Nesta Archeron? Erm, yes, that was me.”
Elain smiled brightly, glad to have remembered. She couldn’t wait to tell Nesta, as a matter of fact, she would surprise her by bringing him to her.
“You know, I bet she would love to see you,” Elain grinned to herself. Nesta would be so excited to see the male who had helped her during the rite again.
“Oh. Well, I-I suppose if she was available. I wondered how she fared after I left her. Sure, I’d like that.”
“Great!” Elain clapped her hands excitedly. “Come on, they’re just that way.” She pointed up at the House of Wind and Balthazar followed her finger, eyeing it as though sizing it up. He held out a hand for her.
“I assume we need to fly,” he stated as she took a hold of his hand.
“Yes, but it's fairly easy for a person with wings.”
Balthazar cracked a small smile at that as he picked her up off the ground and shot into the sky.
**
Landing on the balcony of the House of Wind, it was eerily quiet. Balthazar had never seen such a building, built into the side of a mountain the way it was. He had just received the summons from his High Lord, and had eagerly flown down to Velaris for a meeting. Having run into the small girl who smelled and looked like sunshine had been an odd but welcome surprise. He had been curious to know how the two females he had helped in the rite had fared, and now he was about to find out.
“Hello?” Elain called out as they stepped further into the house. “Is anybody there?”
Elain turned back to him. “They just had their mating ceremony last night, so they have to be here.”
“They just had their…” Balthazar couldn’t believe what he was hearing. She had brought him here right after a mating?!
“Nesta and Cassian,” she replied matter of factly. “You know him as the General Commander.”
Balthazar's eyes widened in recognition, body tensing to flee, but before he could react there was a large force slamming him against the wall.
**
Cassian woke to the sound of a voice calling out. He carefully looked around the room to make sure there was no immediate threat to his mate, and once assured there was no pressing threat, he listened more intently outside the room. Voice, two of them, one male and one female. His instincts coiled at that, at the potential threat to his mate. He looked over at her still carefully sleeping and sighed. If they had woken her…
Watching her sleep so thoroughly soothed his male instincts, and he slowly got up off the bed, careful not to wake her. Pulling on a pair of loose pants, he grabbed two of his sharpest daggers, and exited the room, throwing up a sound shield so that whatever he was about to do wouldn’t disrupt her peaceful slumber. As Cassian prowled along the corridor, careful not to make any noise, the smell of the two intruders grew stronger and stronger. The male.. well he was dead now. All Cassian could see was red, at the thought of the male so close to Nesta’s vicinity and for the fact that he could have woken her. Finally making it to the two, he slammed the male into the wall. The female with him started screaming. What she was screaming he had no idea. Maybe his name. He was too lost in his bloodlust to care.
**
Rhys was staring down a pair of hazel green eyes for who knew how many fucking times it had been. He was starting to get really pissed off. Actually, he was already pissed off and this conversation had just made him angrier. Azriel refused to back down and stared right back at him, the two locked in a battle of silent, stubborn wills.
“I told you, she needs to be left alone,” Rhys grit out.
“And I told you, I don’t fucking care what you said. She came to me and wanted to talk. I wasn’t going to fucking refuse.”
“Well next time -” Rhys was cut off by a voice calling to him in his mind.
Rhys! Help! Please, the female was almost sobbing at him, clawing at his mind shields.
Elain, he recognized and lowered them so their communication line was open.
What’s going on? He asked with alarm.
Cassian is going to KILL HIM, she screamed back.
Kill who? Now Rhys was even more alarmed. Show me what you’re seeing.
Suddenly an image popped into his mind. It was what Elain was seeing, and it wasn’t pretty. They were in the House of Wind and there were broken pieces of glass and furniture littered across the room. Elain was huddled underneath one of the few remaining pieces of furniture while Cassian and a male Rhys faintly recognized were destroying the room left and right as Cassian chased the shorter one with his daggers. There was a bloodthirsty look in his eyes, a predatory one, and Rhy realized that with everything happening with Azriel, he had forgotten about the situation his other brother was in. One in which he would try and beat up any male who got in the way of his mating. That was supposed to be Rhy’s job, payback from his own mating frenzy.
Please help, Elain whimpered.
I’ll be right there, Rhys soothed before quickly showing Azriel, whose eyes widened in recognition of what was happening. Rhys quickly shut the link right before Feyre walked into his office.
“Elain just asked me to go help her stop Cassian from killing someone, what is going on.” she pressed with a not so amused look. She raised her eyebrows in the most adorable way, but Rhys didn’t have time to stop and admire.
Come on, we have to go to the House of Wind.
Well, what happened then?
You’ll see when we get there, tell Amren to come watch Nyx and then we can go.
Feyre’s eyes widened before quickly sending a message to Amren. Rhys picked her up, with Azriel following suit as they shot off to the House of Wind.
**
When they got there, it looked like every piece of the house had been thoroughly destroyed. Except, of course, for the one Elain was hiding under. Before Rhys could react Azriel hurried over to her side with Feyre in tow to help calm her down. Rhys looked around, but before he could start to go look for them, a body was slammed into the wall next to him. Jerking towards the commotion, he saw Cassian in full battle-mode, ready to kill. Honestly, he would be surprised if the male wasn’t already dead. Then he realized that the male was Balthazar, the Illyrian he had summoned to do some business with, due to his involvement with Nesta’s rite.
“Shit”, he mumbled before grabbing Cassian and hauling him off the Illyrian.
Cassian struggled against him, landing a few punches before he was able to get a good grasp on him.
“CASSIAN,” he shouted “CASSIAN STOP”
Cassian did not stop. He kept fighting like a male possessed, and before Rhys knew it he was on his back with an angry Cassian glaring down at him.
“Fuck”, Rhys mumbled. His head had been thoroughly bashed in. He had forgotten the fact that in hand-to-hand Cassian used to and still could wipe the floor with him. It was part of why he had made him General, and how they had started their relationship.
Fitting, he thought amusingly. Then his head was slammed into the floor and he wasn’t so amused anymore.
Before he had time to regroup another body was slamming into Cassian’s. Rhys tumbled to the side to sit up and saw Azriel grappling with Cassian on the floor.
“Mating bond chafing, Cass?” he asked with a smirk. Under Azriel, Cassian growled at his remark, but really, Rhys thought, he had to do it. Looking over to Feyre, he saw her still trying to sooth Elain, while in the corner the male, who was definitely still alive thank the Gods, was grumbling in pain and clutching his stomach.
Why isn’t she out here? he shot to Feyre.
He has a sound shield around their room. Probably didn’t want to disturb her.
Rhys rolled his eyes. How kind of him. Break it, please, and get her out here.
All he got in return was a slight nod and the bond closed off. Before he knew it he was back in the heat of the fight, as Cassian seemed to need both of them to keep him down and get his energy out.
**
Nesta awoke to a prodding in her head. Groggily, she opened her eyes before realizing it was inside her head and gently lowered her shields, wary of who she was potentially lettering in.
Nesta, you need to get out here. Now.
Suddenly, there was the loudest crash she had ever heard in her life, shouting, crying and a lot of groaning from what seemed like pain. She shot up in bed and mind linked back to Feyre.
What the hell is going on?
Elain thought you might like to see your old friend Balthazar, but didn’t realize how… adversely Cassian would react. He put up a sound shield around your room, that’s why you didn’t hear anything. Don’t blame her though, she meant well.
Nesta was already out of bed, pulling on Cassian’s shirt.
How long has this been going on? she frantically shot back.
A few hours, I think.
A few HOURS?
Nesta quickly hurried out of their room and down the corridor until she reached the room everyone was currently occupying. It was absolute carnage. The furniture was broken, Elain was hiding under a table crying, with Feyre trying to comfort her, Balthazar was slumped against the wall, and in the corner Rhys and Azriel were trying to wrangle Cassian away from breaking anything, or anyone else. As soon as she entered the room, Cassian stilled and looked at her. She saw the gleam in his eyes, that predatory instinct that had taken over during his fight. They softened when he looked at her, then shot around the room taking in the damage. Slowly, his eyes drifted back to hers with a guilty look, but Nesta simply walked towards him carefully, eyes only on him.
“Cass,” she whispered gently as she held out her hand. Carefully, she placed it on his cheek, Rhys and Azriel having stepped back. As soon as her hand made contact, his eyes fluttered closed and he nuzzled against her palm. Nesta placed her forehead against his as he pulled her in closer, wrapping her up in his wings. Behind them, damage control was being done, but Nesta didn’t care about any of them. All she cared about was the male right in front of her.
Easily, he scooped her up and brought them back to their room. Laying her on the bed, she let him take her while he whispered “mine” roughly in her ear.
“I’m yours Cass,” she reassured, and she felt him shudder with relief. “And you’re mine,” she whispered. At that, he shouted her name and spilled within her, Nesta following right behind. They continued to make love until the sun rose the next morning and they finally drifted of to sleep, content in each other’s embrace.

Ok scrolling through acotar tiktok KILLS ME. Its not the og tiktok with cool edits of ships that you prefer its just pure toxic hate.
Like me, you might have noticed there are few and few Gwynriel/elucien content then Elriel content. I don´t believe it is because they dont ship these ships anymore i think its because they are tired.
When i was neutral (about a year ago) on the ships wars, i would CONSTANTLY see Elriels being so confident about their ship and how acosf pointed to an elriel endgame. I had not read acosf by then and when i did+ the bc i didn´t hate elriel i just started to love Gwynriel.
Sometimes sarah likes to put positive factors on a ship, like something beautiful without there having to be a whole theory. Because sarah does not expect her readers to be theorists. She wants them to laugh,cry,giggle,scream. etc. So when she was writing the BC which according to elriels are not important she probably wanted us to look at Gwyn and Azriel and consider her obvious wording and differences between elriel and gwynriel. According to elriels the BC isnt important and does nothing to contribute into plots,but also it introduces Gwyns lightsinger powers? Whatever that is not even my point right now. My point is, at first glance at the BC everybody should be more positive towards Gwynriel. SJM put out a free bonus chapter. Why should something heavy like a characters powers be in there? Its supposed to be a light hearted thing. Im just tired of Elriels saying we are delusional or our ship is a crackship.
I never hated Elriel before. All the anti elriel stuff i have mentioned is everything i was already aware of before ´´hating´´ elain and az together. I was still neutral even with all those negavtives.
Its the fandom that made me turn around and choose Gwynriel. I noticed Gwynriel and Elucien content was much more surrounding pro content for their ship and cute headcanons,cannons,edits,fanarts etc. It rarely EVER mentioned anti Elriel information. Except the elriel content then and now, all revolves around Gwynriel and Elucien. Instead of promoting their ship, they have to tear down our ships and say we are crazy.
It was like: Elriel vs Gwynriel and it said that gwynriel was fanon and elriel was canon. Thats´ just false but i understand i cant change that which i dont mind but why scream about it to my face? I saw people bullying Gwyn and saying she was faking her trauma,lured in hyberns men or was evil for the sake to uplift elriel/elain. I saw people bully emerie too calling her a crippled fake illyrian and how it was stupid for emerie to win the blood rite against her cousin. Or how somehow emerie was a b*tch and does not deserve to be a valkyrie+ nesta and gwyn. I saw people make edits to uplift Elain and hate Gwyn. I witnessed people dismissing Luciens trauma and comparing him to his father. I saw people say he faked the bond to protect tamlin or what not. I saw people make up theories for Clotho saying she was odd because she said she was going to give Gwyn the necklace but probably didnt....
That was my last straw. So yes naturally i did in fact shift to the Gwynriel/elucien side. It was easier. Instead of the bullies i saw cute videos of ´´Azriel and Gwyn singing´´ or ´´Elain and lucien picking flowers´´ it was all just so lighthearted and beautiful.
Although i think the fandom for G/A and E/L decreased because they are tired. Because i was tired too. I did not even want to enter acotar tiktok because i knew we would all be bashed for it. Dont get me wrong i find myself sometimes leaving comments on Elriel videos. Not the ones with a cute edit or fanart the ones the share false information or something i disagree with. I only hope for a civil talk and next thing i know, there is a whole gang of elriels trying to push their narrative on me without listening.
Honestly the ship wars have always existed but before Elucien was the calmer side. Although sadly they got roped into the mess of the G/A vs, A/E wars. WIthout a doubt on every single Elucien video, elriels never miss a step. It would be a cute video like a fanart of them and they will start being like ´´ElAinS So UNComFOrtabLE aROUnd hiM´ like you guys ask us why we ship elucien when mentioning this but its like you dont even want an answer you just want to disagree. We tell you and you flat out ignore it.
As much as i love Gwynriel/Elucien i cant help but miss the days were reading ACOTAR was for all the characters. When it was just to see my favorites like Nesta. When i just desperately wanted to get to the iconic epic scenes.
I know if e/riel was confirmed, Elriels would firstly shove it in Eluciens and gwynriels faces and then maybe celebrate the characters.
I know Gwynriels/eluciens would too and i honestly want to see none of that. Yes i do believe we are getting Gwynriel/Elucien but i would not want to make people feel bad for their ship. They by all means can still love elriel. So many people like feylin,nesris,Aelin x chaol,aelin x dorain, and obviously aelin x sam (my endgame if rowan never existed) dramoine,klaroline,stelena,stiles x malia, Jelly,Bellarke,clexa,Rory x those 4 other guys etc etc.
Main point, Can we all just do better? Yes i am talking about elriels for my sake and lots of others peoples sakes but to everyone PLEASE.
I know that wont work though even if i say it because im only one human hahah
What im going to say is we should tag all our posts to our preferred ship and probably always put anti to the ship we dont like. That way everything is divided and less toxic. Also i will be tagging nothing to do with ship wars because i want everyone to see haha but please be nice!
This is just my experience btw im sure Elriels have has their fair treatment of toxic Gwynriels/Eluciens

hi I am a new ACOTAR reader 👋🏼 and I was so shocked to enter this fandom and see all the ship wars going on. I guess I’m more of a casual reader? But I thought SJM was going for elucien which listen - adorable - but then she spend the books after they were declared mates just dissing that entire plot line? Like ok I get it they don’t HAVE to be head over heels like feysand and nessian yet, but since ACOWAR there’s barely any elucien interactions and they’re all described as uncomfortable and idk why she would have them be mates and then turn around and just wreck that setup? Lucien barely is in the books anymore?
And then Sarah started writing these “looks” and shy smiles between elain and azriel and I was like ok I get it too I guess, if Lucien is like not even present in the books anymore? I feel like she straight up changed her mind or something because why did she do all that setup and now is introducing a new love interest? Being mates MEANS something right? Idk it seems like she’s abandoning elucien to me which is sad bc they could’ve been so good together 😭 like bat boy is great don’t get me wrong but we don’t know shit about him other than he is vaguely menacing and has shadows
He’s not shown interest in anyone except Mor or Elain so idk what his plotline will be (if he gets a book even). And yes, I did read this controversial bonus chapter and I genuinely saw it as a nail in this elucien coffin instead of gwynriel as people are saying. Like why would Elain kiss HIM when she has a mate? Lucien is RIGHT THERE ?? It just seems so convoluted for no reason. Like is this a love triangle setup? Idk 🤷🏻♀️ it would be easy if Gwyn and azriel were mates so elucien could nicely work out but I barely remember anything about Gwyn and Az interactions let alone anything to suggest romantic themes. So I don’t get that ship at ALL. Like azriel could be shipped with anyone at this point if Gwyn is being considered an option.
Idk I assume there’s hella analysis on this but I just don’t know why SJM would make elucien mates and then throw this random emo bat boy plotline in the mix. I’ve kind of abandoned that hope after ACOSF unless there’s something I’m missing that brings Lucien back in the game? (Genuinely where even is heeee like sir get your girl - respectfully)
Welcome to the fandom! And I'm sorry ahead of time, it's simultaneously fun, exhausting, and infuriating, haha.
I do understand why it feels like she set Elucien up with a bang and just let it fizzle but if you consider why she might have done that, I think it makes sense.
Are you in love? Have you been in love?
Imagine if you are a month away from your wedding. It's your first love, your first experience with intimacy, and the person you have imagined the rest of your life with. Maybe children, a home.
And overnight that dream is ripped away from you.
Not only is it ripped away from you but you're suddenly feeling a connection (because I fully believe Elain knew Lucien was something to her before he ever whispered that they were mates) to a random stranger who you have never seen before.
Your heart was promised to another but now you're chanting "traitor, traitor, traitor" over and over in your head because you're looking at this stranger and feeling big things for him.
But you're whisked away and the connection is broken and you're taken to a strange land where you're forced to think of everything that you've now left behind in the human lands. Where your fiance is probably wondering what happened to you, where you're no longer able to spend time in your gardens, see the people in the household you've grown to care for, knowing your father will be wondering what happened to you when he returns.
But through that depression you feel the tiniest bit of hope that you can go back. That your fiance will love you despite this new thing you've become and were taught to fear. That maybe, the life you loved can still be yours again.
But the stranger comes back into your life with it a torrent of emotions that you're struggling to understand and to control and it's all too much, it's too overwhelming so you shut down. You're not ready to face what it means when you're desperately trying to hold on to what was lost because if you can get that back, maybe things will make sense again.
But your fiance cruelly rejects you. The one who swore he'd love you until you were old and gray and he tossed you aside as if none of it mattered. As if you didn't matter. And he mentions the stranger to you as if it's a dirty word and maybe some of this is his fault. It's not, you know it's not but it's easier to blame someone.
But then you all nearly lose someone you care for during the war and suddenly, maybe that misplaced anger is easier to let go of.
But the war ends and you slowly settle into a new life, trying to forget about what you lost. Your fiance. Your home. Your friends. And even your father. So you put up a wall and you refuse to engage with your "mate" because some of that anger is back. You didn't ask for any of this. You don't want to be dealing with emotions you can't control when he's around when you're already dealing with so much. He makes it impossible to think straight. He makes everything confusing. But when you ignore him, it's easier to pretend. Everything is easier because you don't feel and when you feel right now, it hurts and it's too much and it's overwhelming.
But you can pretend around your sisters because they don't push you to deal with those emotions. You can pretend around Az because he keeps it light and you have no pull to him. He's handsome of course. But the conversations are surface level and you don't have to think about the things that plague you when it's late at night and you're alone. But you are lonely and comfort from another would be nice, wouldn't it? So you engage in a flirtation with Az. You avoid your mate when he's around because feeling too much is not something you can handle in the same year of your fiance's rejection and your fathers death and your lost humanity. You want to escape and you can do this in this school girls crush with him.
You alternate between dying inside while trying to make the best of your new situation and moments where you can fool yourself into thinking that infatuation is just the thing to help you get by but deep down you know you're avoiding everything. You hate yourself for ignoring your mate, knowing how patient he is, how kind but knowing that you're afraid. Afraid to love someone else. Afraid to lose someone else. So you'll keep taking the path of safety. Living in the NC, making Feyre's found family your new family. Liking the available brothers. It's all perfect and easy and safe.
Until the rejection on Solstice and your illusion comes crashing down. It doesn't matter what you do, you can't hide from reality for long and the time is coming for you to face everything you've been avoiding.
So yes.......Elain and Lucien on the surface appear to be lukewarm as of late.
But I think that when we finally get an Elain POV, we're going to see how intense and deep those still waters go. I think that's why SJM has hidden her POV because I think Elain's true feelings are going to bowl us over.
And I wouldn't say Lucien is not in the books anymore. He was heavily featured all the way up into the novella. SF of course was Nessian's story and since the POV shifted from Feyre to Nesta, it's understandable why Lucien was somewhat absent as he reports to Rhys (not Nesta) and lives in the Human Lands. SJM actually went out of her way to include Lucien on a few occasions in a story where his presence would have been odd when you consider his relationship to Nesta (non existent). I think people also fail to remember that everytime Eris and Helion were on page, that's information that can be applied to Lucien's future story too.

hi.
not sure about you but sometimes i feel all these back and forth arguments from the shipwar is silly. a point made about one ship can easily be applied to another and so forth. people don't like to admit it but a lot of these ships (elriel, vassien, elucien and gywnriel) have a lot in common.
from your perspective what do you think makes elucien more likely than elriel? both couples don't really know each other and all of them have issues to work through. same with gywnriel and vassien. both don't have much onpage interaction but what makes gywnriel more likely than vassien in her eyes?
Hello!
Yes, that’s kind of life, if we think hard enough we can find a connection to most situations. I do think it depends on what one is arguing about though because these ships aren’t carbon copies of each other. If everyone would just focus on their own fandoms and leave others alone, no one would have to argue🙃 that I do find silly…
I agree that on one level e/riel, elucien and gwynriel are on a pretty even playing field because none of them interact much or truly know each other, disagree that vuci*n should even be factored in because there is no romantic context for them.
When you say “in her eyes”, you mean SJM? No way to know what she thinks, but I sure can tell you some of what makes me unconcerned with the possibility of elucien or gwynriel not being endgame.
SJM is a mates author, this is even more clear since hosab. Nessian being mates was unnecessary to the story yet she made them mates anyway. Until SJM gives us a main couple that breaks the pattern, I’m going assume that mates are still very important in her worlds and a signifier of endgame.
That’s kind of all I need for elucien but a couple others things stood out to me too: the retcon of Lucien being Helion’s son is a big mc/mc adjacent storyline. Him having to deal with Graysen and even his friendship with Vassa(who Elain had visions about) connects him to Elain. Both of their associations with Spring and that there are problems there(ok this one might be wishful thinking). The fact that Elain and Lucien have both been sidelined and have such a strained relationship just screams “we have a book full of development coming”. Sarah said they would have “tension, healing and growth”. If they got along, I’d be worried.
Gwynriel was less obvious but still there in acosf. SJM giving the backstory that Azriel saved Gwyn added nothing to Nesta’s story. Hybern’s soldiers destroyed several places, Azriel didn’t have to be there but he was, gee I wonder why? Gwyn having that brazen sass with the stoic shadowsinger was another thing that made me go “huh”. The little sections referencing Gwyn watching Azriel or Azriel leaving to go over dagger handling, etc: more things that weren’t needed for Nesta’s story or could have been written differently. The way that there was more of a focus on Gwyn than other side characters(we know more about what goes on in Gwyn’s mind than Elain’s right now).
Honestly though the biggest example that shows gwynriel is more likely(and therefore elucien too) is Azriel’s chapter. No, bonus chapters have no effect on the books but Azriel’s chapter was a giant freaking neon sign from Sarah telling us where these relationships are heading. Azriel’s mind told us everything we needed to know. He’s been bottling up his anger and jealousy. He wants a mate, thinks the third sister should be his because of his brothers, he feels unclean and unworthy of Elain. He hasn’t thought about a future, just pleasure with her. Azriel’s not thinking rationally. We get to the Gwyn scene and it’s light and simple, a little funny, Azriel starts feeling better, his head is clearing. He finds himself thinking of making Gwyn happy. It ends with mate language! There is a ginormous contrast between the two halves of Azriel’s chapter and honestly the way SJM went about writing it was some of her best work imo.
Sooo this was my very long way of saying that sure, when it comes down to interactions they’re all equal, but looking beyond that is where people form their opinions.
