The first time he went back --> Tamcien, ACOFAS
"Tamlin." Lucien's face was carefully neutral, his limbs loose, nothing in his scent or his body language giving away anything about how he felt to be standing before his once High Lord again.
"Lucien." Tamlin was relieved, at least, to see that his old friend had not adopted the Night Court fashion, opting for a blue and silver tunic instead. "I see you've been keeping this place clean in case I decided to come back," he said sarcastically. Then, there was a strong scent of rust and embers as Lucien began using his magic to move some things around. "There. At least it's somewhat livable now. Don't you have servants, Tamlin?"
Tamlin didn't fail to notice that Lucien called him by his full name rather than by his nickname. Lucien had called him Tam practically from the moment he'd arrived despite Tamlin's insistence that he show him the respect due of a High Lord, and decorum, blah blah blah. After some point, he stopped fighting it because he liked that Lucien had a special name only for him.
"Some. Most are too scared to question the state of the place. Many have left." Tamlin stared blankly at a wall. He had no fight left in him. All his anger had left him the moment he'd brought Rhysand back to life. There was no one left to be angry at. Nothing left to fight for.
Feyre had ruined him, and yet Tamlin had done that. Why? Why did he still love her? Why did it still hurt that she chose him? How long would she be able to hurt him?
As long as he loved her.
But how did he make it stop? How did he make this love go away, stop it from carving his heart out of his chest?
"You ignored me. After the war." That's what Lucien wanted to talk about? Surely he'd understood how painful it was to see him in Illyrian leathers, how painful it was to see him so quickly accepted as part of another group, how painful it was to see him away from him. For the longest time, Lucien had been his, and his alone. Now he had a mate and a whole other court and family. He wondered now if he had possibly taken Lucien for granted.
Well you know, Tam, there are several courts who'd pay an arm and a leg to have me working for them, so you'd better start listening to me more oft-
Little did either of them know how those words would turn out to be prophetic. Fitting, he supposed, with that seer mate of his.
"The sight of you in Illyrian leathers disgusted me," Tamlin replied dully. Lucien snorted. "What else was I to do? I didn't have anything else to wear; all my clothes were back here."
"You could've just stayed with me," Tamlin replied. A stupid thing to say, he knew, but he couldn't help it. Rhysand would never understand and appreciate Lucien's value like Tamlin could.
Lucien leaned back against a wall, putting his hands behind his head. "Right. And continue to watch you listen to the female who raped me over me, the person who not only loyally served you for centuries, but has connections to every damn court in Prythian. If I had a little more power, I could rule this whole damn place, I know so much."
Tamlin snarled. "Don't remind me of that. Believe me, I am well aware of my transgressions."
"Then surely you see why I had to leave. Even if my mate were not trapped in Night, your attitude would've eventually prompted me to leave."
My mate. The words sent shards of glass into his heart. "The mating bond is a curse," he rasped. It had to be. Why else would it mate his parents together, Rhysand's parents together, and his Feyre with Rhysand? Why would it mate Lucien with Elain, thus taking his Lucien away from him?
"The mating bond is a blessing from the Mother herself," Lucien insisted.
"Don't just blindly spit back the bullshit the temple taught you," Tamlin snapped. His claws emerged from beneath his skin, trembling rage filling his body. "God can offer us many beauties, sure, but we already know that She can also be cruel. Is it really so hard to believe that the mating bond is not what it's made out to be? Imagine a bond compelling you, forcing you to be with someone you don't want forever."
"Who said I don't want Elain?" Lucien whispered. Tamlin stilled. Those glass shards twisted in his heart a little bit more. "You think it's just a bond compelling me to stay with her? I thought you more intelligent than that, Tam." Tamlin squeezed his eyes shut, slumping against his chair. Heartbreak was all too familiar a feeling to him at this point.
"Look, Tamlin, I'm trying here," Lucien said, his voice sounding as though he were repressing some emotion. "I know it hurts, Tam. Please, let me help you. Don't push everyone away like you always do. Don't try to go it alone."
Tam.
As though drawn by a magnet, Tamlin's eyes lifted to Lucien's. The handsome lord stared at him with an earnestness that threatened to melt all that Tamlin was into nothing. He could never resist that soft look, and that wasn't about to change.
At last, he lost control. His shoulders caved in and he began to cry into his hands.
"Tam." Lucien closed the distance between them, kneeling before him. He placed his palms on Tamlin's cheeks, brushing away tears with his thumbs. "Don't cry," he murmured. "I'm here. I am here, I am with you."
Tamlin sniffed. "You should hate me."
His former emissary gently pulled him by the back of his head, pressing their foreheads together. "I know," he answered quietly. "But I don't."
He pulled away, offering a hand to stand up. "You look terrible, Tam. Have you been sleeping enough?"
Sighing, Tamlin shook his head. "Not really."
Lucien rolled his eyes. "Of course not. Go sleep, Tam."
Tamlin just crossed his arms over his chest, pouting. Lucien raised a brow at him, placing his hands on his hips. "Oh, I get it. You think because you're the High Lord, you can do whatever the hell you want. Well you know, Tam, there are several courts who'd pay an arm and a leg to have me working for them, so you'd better start listening to me more oft-"
The Spring Court lord grinned as the words sparked a far more pleasant memory of the two of them, leaping up in an instant. "As you wish, Lucien." The Autumn Court faerie smirked as he placed a hand on Tamlin's back, guiding him to the bedroom.
After tucking him in, Lucien was about to leave the room when Tamlin called out weakly, "Lu?"
He turned around, cocking his head. "Tam?"
Tamlin hesitated, a blush coming over his face. "Do you think- well could you...stay with me?"
Lucien sighed exasperatedly. "Just sleep, Tam."
"I can't. I've been trying for the past several days." Lucien took a deep breath, pinching his nose. "Fine. But don't expect to see me here when you get up."
"Ok." Lucien strode towards him and hopped onto the bed, leaning his head against the bedframe. Tamlin crawled towards him, placing his head on his lap. Lucien just scoffed.
"What are you, a six-year-old child?" he asked, but he ran his fingers through his blonde locks. Tamlin purred.
"After all this time, you still purr like a goddamn kitty cat whenever someone touches your hair," Lucien muttered, and those were the last words Tamlin heard before sleep overtook him at last.

@tamlinweek Day 4: Happily Ever After
This scene is based on a Tamlin/Lucien fic that a friend wrote for me and I really wanted to draw it because not only do I like the fic a lot, but it's also my one biggest wish for future books: For Tamlin to apologize to Lucien and for them to make up and be their found family again that I loved so much in book 1.
#acotar#tamlin#lucien vanserra#tamcien#tamlinweek2024#i just need some GOOD HUGS for my BOI#and I know Lucien wants to give them!!

Happy Birthday, High Lord!
Summary - You and Lucien pulled all the stops for Tamlin's birthday this year. Now you just have to hope your mate appreciates it.
Warnings - sexual jokes and innuendos, implied possible smut at the end
Prompt - Day 6 - Celebration
A/n - Happy @polyacotarweek day 6! I'm not super happy with this one. I probably would have been had I added the smut at the end, but I wanted my trouple to be wholesome instead.
💕Poly+ACOTAR Week Masterlist💕
“Meticulous.” Whenever someone asked Tamlin and Lucien to describe you, that was the first word that came to mind.
“Blabbermouth” would be the next thing. It wasn't that you couldn't keep secrets in general. It was that you struggled to keep secrets from them from Lucien and Tamlin.
Lucien kept a straight face, the string connected to you pulled tight as Tamlin stared you down, green eyes sparkling with joy. “Tell me, petal.”
They both burst into laughter as you shoved a muffin into your mouth, then pointed and shook your head. “Just take her for a ride, Tamlin.”
“I will let her ride whenever she wants. I just want to know why we are going out for the day while you stay here.”
Lucien sighed. “Just take her out.” You continued chewing, blinking at the two of them every so often. “Or else I will just ride you, and we can go out.”
You glared at him as he smirked before shaking your head and pouting at Tamlin. You and Lucien knew Tamlin like the backs of your hands, and when he opened his mouth, you knew the two of you had played him like a fiddle. “Just for pouting, Lucien and I will head to town. You can stay here.”
Lucien tugged the bond twice as you continued the act, sending his love your way as the two of them stood. Lucien was the first to kiss you. He always would be. The kiss was gentle and warm before he then kissed your forehead with a quickly returned “I love you.”
Tamlin always kissed you last. You were their's, yes, but you had been his first, and he had risked everything to protect you from Amarantha and Hybern. It had taken so long for you two to find each other again that he had almost lost hope.
His hands rested on your cheeks as he pulled you in, soft lips fitting to yours like a puzzle. “Be good.”
“I will. I promise.”
“I love you, little rose.”
“I love you,” you refused to add the “too”. You always did with both of them. You didn't love them just because they loved you. You loved them because you genuinely did. You waited for Lucien to give the signal, the bond tugging one last time before getting to work.
The Manor was eerily silent when Lucien and Tamlin returned hours later. The faelights had been turned off, and the servant's area was even silent. Tamlin was immediately on edge, and Lucien led them in. You were nowhere to be found. “Maybe the ballroom?”
“She wanted to redecorate it. Maybe she is planning.” Lucien led Tamlin that way, hiding his smile the best he could. He mentally counted the years to himself, 55 years. They had not celebrated Tam's birthday in 55 years.
Lucien pushed open the large rosewood door, allowing Tamlin in and watching as his face fell and you dropped the sound ward. Inside, a lively party was beginning.
Tarquin was standing next to you and waved. Helion was laughing with Thesan in the corner. Fae were dancing and laughing in all directions. Every high lord and their respective circle had come, all excited to finally be welcomed into the newly repaired Spring.
“Happy birthday, Tam,” Lucien looked at him. “Aren't you happy I demanded you dress nicely for our date now? Oh look, there's Feyre, you could go tell her that her hair looks clean.” The mentioned female waves from where she was spinning Nyx, smile bright as Rhysand watched and laughed. The Lord of Night nodded to Tamlin. While their relationship had not been 100% fixed, it had at least become civil.
Tamlin was shocked. Standing there with his eyes wide. “How?”
Lucien shrugged and inclined his head to you. “She's magic.”
You and Lucien had ensured everything was perfect. His closest friends and repaired relationships were all there. His favorite cake sat on a table waiting for him. The two of them took their places at your side, smiling and greeting their guests and friends as they watched you receive constant praise at the party. Lucien held your hand as Tamlin kept an arm around your waist, keeping you both close to him.
He had not expected this. Tamlin had expected a small dinner with the three of you, possibly a gift from you, and a verbal sparring match from Lucien, but this was above all expectations. He couldn't help but smile all night, hand staying in its place on your hip while his other would go from being free to touching Lucien.
You leaned in and kissed his cheek as the night started to close down and guests turned to their respective rooms. “Did you have a happy birthday?”
You both looked to where Lucien and Eris were having an animated discussion regarding foxes versus the newly crowded Autumn Lord's precious hounds. “I did. The weather was beautiful. Lucien and I got to enjoy the market. We laid out in the flower field. Had a lovely dinner. And then I come home to all of this. It must have taken you hours to plan this.”
“A few days.”
“I don't deserve it.”
“I have two beautiful and loving mates ensuring I do that.”
“You deserve the world. You are not that male anymore. You have healed, and you have found closure. Think of this birthday as a new beginning. Permission to move on."
Your lip twitched up, “The red-haired male is definitely the prettiest.”
“Easily.”
“We should do something about it.”
Tamlin smirked. “I have a few things in mind. They are not appropriate for the present company, though.”
“Ah, so we're going to fuck him.”
“Another night, maybe. Some pretty female offered to ride me earlier. I'd like to take her up on that.” You felt Tamlin tug both sides of the bond, excusing you both to retire for the night and informing Lucien of where to find you both. “If she'd still like to that is.”
Your eyes had already gone slightly hazed, fingers intertwining more with his. “Yes please.”
“Then I've had the perfect birthday. A date with my husband. Sex with my wife. A party. What more could a simple high lord ask for.”
“A threesome!” A familiar voice appeared next to you, smile bright and voice breathless. “A birthday threesome.”

Slutty af lines forgotten by the SJM fandom, part 2
Ok, this one isn't exactly slutty but I think it's an amazing line and it should be REMEMBERED.
Tamlin:
Against slavery, against tyranny, I would gladly go to my death, no matter whose freedom I was defending.
Lucien had a line like this too.
I busied myself by sorting through my pack until I found the canteen of water. “If you’d been alive
for the War,” I asked him, taking a swig, “would you have fought on their side? Or fought for the
humans?”
“I would have been a part of the human-Fae alliance.”
“Even if your father wasn’t?”
“Especially if my father wasn’t.”

Ranting about tamlin&lucien pt.700
I like to ignore most canon things written about tamlin and lucien’s relationship because sjm wants to push this narrative that things were always this bad between them and I just refuse to believe it.
Athough I understand their friendship was complicated and toxic at the end I don’t believe it was always like that.I think UTM completely changed the trajectory of their friendship just like it changed feyre/tamlin’s relationship.I will be the first to admit that tamlin treated lucien like complete shit after utm while also acknowledging that their dynamic was most likely not always like this.
Sometimes it really feels like sjm has no idea what she’s writing half of the time because lucien has one dinner with the IC and suddenly he thinks they’re the epitome of friendship.Like you really want me to believe lucien lived in the spring court,with tamlin,for centuries and it just sucked—that he never found family there not even with tamlin.Sure sjm sure.God forbid the IC aren’t the greatest people in the world or that tamlin has any redeeming qualities.Or one minute sjm is telling us lucien didn’t fit in at the spring court and the next we have lucien himself calling it his home so which is it exactly ??
If tamlin really was this monster of a friend and lucien never found solace or family at the spring court why the hell does he keep going back.If tamlin had always been terrible to lucien,no loyalty or guilt or pity would have him coming back even after 2 years.
Those cursed 50 years ruined tamlin and as a result he ruined every good thing around him.I am not justifying the way tamlin is currently treating lucien but I am a sentimental girl —and I think that before everything went to shit with amarantha and the curse things were very different between them.Things were good and they were best friends,constantly joking and teasing and looking out for each other.If we get a lucien pov and sjm tries to write otherwise I don’t know what I’ll do 😍.Honestly I’ve given up on getting good writing about tamlin from sjm so I’ll be making up whatever I want at this point.

Stupid little headcanon.
Lucien was always trained to keep his mouth shut, to not talk, not whine and not complain. But has always struggled with this, as he loves talking and loves going on and on and on about things that annoy him until he finally calms himself down.
He used to rant into a mirror for hours, until he came to Spring.
Tamlin will stare into space, with zero thoughts in his head for hours. Just completely zoned out, off in Tamlin world and completely removed from reality.
Lucien will rant to Tamlin while he is zoned out for hours, it feels like he's talking to someone without them judging him for his ramblings, and Tamlin gets to space out for a while.
It's a wonderful balance.
