Inside of You (Chapter 6) - Elucien!Body Swap
Summary: In the days leading up to Nesta and Cassianβs mating ceremony, Elain and Lucien run into a ratherβ¦unusual predicament. A strange spell seems to have made them switch bodies. Theyβll need to work together to convincingly hide their secret from the others, undo the spell to revert back to normal, and most importantly, not ruin the big day. Side effects MAY include abnormally increased levels of sexual arousal and frustration.
Notes: Rated E for silly, horny shenanigans. Body Swap. Fake Dating. Awkward idiots to lovers. Eventual smut. Thank you @olenvasynyt for the banner!

At the very same time, Nesta and Cassian were barging inside her bedroom. That is one way to immediately eliminate an erection. Now Elain understood how that worked.Β One simply needed a furious elder sister with death written in her silver-rimmed eyes to catch you in bed with another.Β
βGet up!β Nesta barked, standing in front of her Illyrian mate with hands on her hips. βAnd do not even bother lying to me.β
Elain and Lucien deal with an early morning intrusion and interrogation.

Friendly reminder that the only reason Lucien whispered that he and Elain were mates was because Elain kept staring at him over Nestaβs shoulder until her eyes met his and their bond snapped.
Please kindly note that staring is not considered polite.
Also, itβs Feyre narrating and we only have her pov, so how else are we supposed to know theyβre mates?
There was so much going on at the same time, Iβm pretty sure Lucien wasnβt even the center of everyoneβs attention. Yβall act like he picked up a mic and yelled into it.
I bet you, Cassian sat in the corner like: "what did he say?ππ½π€¨"
Thank you @ladyelain. People are so goddamn stupid. The author has to communicate information to the reader somehow. Not every line of dialogue exists because every character in the room needed to hear it, sometimes it's there because we, the audience, need it. That's how storytelling works. SJM isnβt writing a fucking documentary, itβs a fantasy book. The narration exists to communicate information to us, not to perfectly simulate how real conversations would unfold.
Lately, work and writing have been taking up most of my time, but here's a Maleficent crossover for you π
the backgrounds took me the longest, I hate them
You sure about that, Feyre?
I think a lot of people may have it confused.
Lucien is not Elainβs trauma.
The King of Hybern is. The cauldron is. Being kidnapped (twice) is. Being tied up/chained is. Being drowned is. Seeing her fathers dead body is. Burying her father is. Being turned into the thing she hated the most is. Losing her fiancΓ© is. Losing her mortality is.
Things that probably stress Elain out more than Lucienβs occasional visits: constantly needing to insist she is a part of a court where no one views her as an equal, being fought over by her sisters, being coddled, people speaking for her and going against her direct wishes(looking at you Azriel).
Elains trauma does not start or end with Lucien Vanserra. Do I think sheβs resistant to the bond because of her trauma? Yes. Do I think itβs personal to Lucien? No.
Her trauma isnβt only valid when Lucien is around and people like to scream that heβs the reason (which is wrong what they are insinuating). Her trauma is constantly valid. The same trauma the Inner Circle (and most of this fandom) forgets exist any other time.
ELAIN IS NOT DOING WELL AT ALL. mark my words.
If you think her arc will only consist of rejecting the bond, gaining Rhysβs approval to be with Azriel, and falling in love with the person who speaks against her wishes, you are sadly mistaken. Stop being a hypocrite.
I personally think Lucien knows Elain is not doing well. A mate knows when something is amiss. She doesnβt want him to know sheβs not doing well. Because sheβs trying to convince herself sheβs ok.

I wanted to commission a piece showing Elain and Lucien being separated by circumstances, but still tied together by fate. With Lucien stationed at the Spring Court and Elain still staying at the Night Court, I wanted to leave little Easter eggs for both courts.
@jacqueillustrates absolutely killed it. She created these house insigniaβs for each courtβs bedsheets. The Night Court got the mountain with the stars, and the Spring Court got the roses and thorns. Then in the middle where they meet is tied together with the mate bond.
Thank you so much @jacqueillustrates for creating this extraordinary art! Of course it turned out even more beautiful than I imagined! Iβm completely mesmerized by it ππ
Commissioned by myself
Artist is @jacqueillustrates

Iβve said it before and Iβll say it againβ¦ Iβm tattooing this on the inside of my EYELIDS I LOVE IT SO MUCH πππππ two @elucienweekofficial bracelets!!!
The only male character to challenge Prythianβs most powerful High Lord - repeatedly, btw
Just a reminder that Lucien WHISPERED to Elain that she was his mate.
Itβs sad I even need to explain this, but I guess it needs to be said.
If Elain does end up with Lucien itβs because Elain CHOSE him. It will be because she got to know him and fell in love with him. Just like Feysand. Just like Nessian. Just like all of Sarahβs other mated pairs.
All these FMCβs ended up falling in love with their mates. I hope the same for Elain.
And when Elain chooses Lucien Iβm going to eat that shit up with a spoon and have the biggest smile on my face ππ
the 13th card
I know at this point we are all regurgitating the same things in different fonts, but it's really interesting to me that Elain keeps getting pigeon-holed as introverted and quiet, when it's been expressed multiple times that she was NEVER like that before.
Elain was social and loved parties. She was gearing up for a life as human Lord's wife, and all the politics and social graces that life would afford her. She could influence people and make friends easily. She was kind and warm and open.
She is not that way right now. Who she has become has been filtered through the lens of her intense trauma that she has yet to begin to unpack and finding her mate during that time.
SO ON THE FLIPSIDE
Everyone in the fandom can agree, whole-heartedly, we miss our sassy, mouthy fox boy. Who loved to mingle with other courts, travel, make connections, etc. But we all also agree HE IS NOT THAT WAY RIGHT NOW. Who he has become has been filtered through the lens of his intense trauma and finding his mate while the only security he'd known for decades was crumbling under his feet.
Of course they are avoiding each other - they are also avoiding THEMSELVES. How are they supposed to get to know another person when they don't even recognize themselves right now?
And more than that... this isn't just the concept that "well, Az sees her at her lowest and want her" as much as "Az wants someone who ISN'T in her true form right now." AND THAT'S THE DIFFERENCE.
Characters do not begin their REAL arc already healed and ready. They start at their lowest point and grow from there. That's why SJM saying that Elain and Lucien have a lot of healing to do TOGETHER is SO important.
As our Power of Truth princess said, "She's not ready. And neither is he."
