Azris Week @azrisweek - Tumblr Blog

banner by @buffy-vanserra

We hope everyone had a great April Fool's Day yesterday. Sometimes it's nice to be(e) silly. Please see below for the ACTUAL Azris Week 2026 prompts.

Remember, the prompts are only guidelines - you can create something that fits strictly with the prompt or something that only barely relates. Anything is on the table, but please review the rules below before you post.

Prompts

Day 1: Contact

How do Eris and Azriel communicate? Through letters or texts, maybe, or through heavy gazes and the brush of fingers on exposed skin - and have they always spoken to each other this way?

Day 2: Slice of Life

So much of this enemies-to-lovers ship is full of strife, pain, and betrayal. But what about the quiet moments?

Day 3: Creature Feature

There are many creatures in Prythian, and many more outside of canon. You can return to the “familiars” idea from 2024, or you can create something totally new. Expand your interpretation of who or what a creature is and see where it takes you.

Day 4: Dark and Stormy Night

Azris is a mood. Whether dark, spooky, or mysterious, Azriel and Eris are no strangers to living dangerously. Paint us a picture; set the mood for everyone.

Day 5: Favorite Trope/AU

Only one bed? Check. Swordplay as innuendo? Check. Or maybe a love story that takes place in a world neither in Prythian or on planet Earth? Hell yeah.

Day 6: Lonely Together

Eris and Azriel are often surrounded by their Courts and families. However, both characters wear masks and build walls to keep others at arm's length. Will the walls come down when they come together, or are they both destined to remain lonely, even together?

Day 7: Free Day

This is self-explanatory.

Rules

1) Be respectful. We’re here to celebrate Azris and appreciate the creations made in their honor. This is a positive, inclusive space which won’t stand for bashing of any kind.

2) Please direct any event-related questions to this account, not to the mods individually.

3) Tag us and use #azrisweek2026 when posting here or on Instagram so that we can reblog/repost. If you are posting a work to AO3, there will be a collection to add it to during the event week. If your work is not tagged on tumblr, Instagram, or AO3, mods will not look through tags to add you, as was done in previous years.

For quick access: ao3 collection - instagram

4) Creations of all kinds are welcome and encouraged! Fics, fanart, mood boards, headcanons, incorrect quotes, edits, playlists, etc. We will not be promoting AI-generated/altered images or fanworks.

5) This event won’t tolerate characters being warped to fit heteronormative roles and/or relationship stereotypes. For example (thanks to @cauldronblssd for putting it so clearly) fem Eris or Azriel as queer identities or gender non-conforming characters, yes. Fem Eris or Azriel as a substitute for a straight woman, no. With this in mind, we reserve the right to use our discretion and not engage with content, regardless of how it is tagged, if said content perpetuates harmful stereotypes.

Azris Week Self-Spotlight

Whether a reader, writer, illustrator, mood board creator, or a playlist compiler, this questionnaire is for YOU! Feel free to hype yourself up, tag your favourite creators, answer all the questions, answer like two, anything you like.

We will be reblogging all filled out questionnaires and will include them all in a master list at the end of Azris Week. If we accidentally miss you, DM us - it wasn't done on purpose!

And now...the questions:

1. What drew you to Azris?

2. What themes do you explore most often in your fics? Do you have a favorite image or location to return to again and again?

3. If you could only write one, which would you choose: Fluff or Angst? Yes, you must choose one.

4. Favorite Azris AU? Why?

5. Name a favorite Azris fic/art that you've created. Why?

6. Do you have a favorite ACOTAR pairing other than Azris?

7. Have you worn wigs?

8. Will Eris ever wear wigs?

9. What are some of your favorite head cannons about Azriel? Eris?

10. Why do Eris and Azriel deserve each other? 11. How do you find inspiration for your creations? (It could be music, other creators---anything!)

12. Have you ever felt creatively blocked? How have you overcome it?

13. Any advice for a content creator who is working up the guts to share/post for the first time?

14. Are you a long or short haired Eris truther? Yes, you can only pick one.

15. If you could choose one court to live in Prythian, which would it be and why?

16. Azriel and Eris are having a silly disagreement. Something about socks on the floor, or dirty mugs in the sink. Maybe someone forgot to let the smokehounds out. Who are you more likely to side with?

17. Who has a worse temper: Azriel or Eris?

18. What are some WIPs or ideas that you’re excited about?

Back by popular demand:

the Hype Bat Challenge!

This year, we have mixed things up by adding bingo cards. The rules, cards, and fic list are below.

Here are the rules:

Choose whether you would like to fill a 4x4 Bingo card or a 5x5 card. Participants may attempt to fill both to better their chances of winning, but we will ultimately choose 2 separate winners.

Each bingo card is full of beloved fanon and canon Azriz tropes, themes, and scenes. Each time you run across one in a new Azris fic (or one that has under 500 hits), mark your card! You MAY mark both cards using a single fic/comment, if you are playing on both.

2. To have your marked box count, leave a meaningful comment on each fic AND a kudos. While it's nice to get a comment that says "this was great!" the whole point of this challenge is to make people engage more thoughtfully with lesser known and newer fics.

3. The challenge begins May 30 and cards must be turned in by June 20. The first two participants to fill their entire card will be notified no later than June 30. There will be one winner for each card size (4x4 and 5x5).

4. Each winner (2 total) will be gifted an original story or piece of art, commissioned for them exclusively. Participating creators include: @wrraccountant, @chunkypossum, and @werehorsebite. *

Please note that if there are multiple winners for each card size, the participant with the most boxes covered from current Azris Week fics will take precedence. If there are still multiple winners, names will be entered into a draw and selected randomly.

Fanfiction is all about community, and this Hype Bat Challenge is meant to encourage people to engage with works perhaps outside of their comfort zone or from authors they haven't heard of.

Hype Bat Challenge Fic List

Criteria for this list were: must be Azris-focused (not a side pairing or only mentioned); fewer than 500 hits, and hosted on ao3. If you have a fic that isn't on this list but meets the criteria, please send us an ask and we'll add it!

bingo cards lovingly prepared by @buffy-vanserra.

One more week until #azrisweek2026 and I'm prepping the first five (or six?) chapters of my very first fic to release throughout the week! Curious if there are any other Azris / Heated Rivalry crossovers coming out this Azris Week!? 👀 @azrisweek

A Sport of Stars and Fire

lunaophelia

Summary:

Azriel Singer, “Terror of the Montreal Stars," and Eris Vanserra, star center and Captain of the Boston Fire, have been pitted as rivals since the 2009 NHL draft. When Singer stumbles upon Vanserra in a compromising position after a home game, he realizes they may have more in common than he thought. In lieu of an NDA (or a bargain tattoo), Singer gives Vanserra his number. It’s not much in the way of leverage, but it’s all Vanserra is going to get. Or is it? Or, a rivals-to-lovers Hockey-AU romp with our favorite ACOTAR boys, featuring codependent Azriel & Cassian, modern epistolary romance (a.k.a. sexting, HA), so much yearning, and very little hockey.

Notes:

The title is so camp, I can't even. I was compelled by an unholy spirit. Go with me.

#GET HYPE

Can anyone join in on Azris week, is there something specific you have to do or a specific community you have to post it in??

This event week is for absolutely anyone!

If you're asking about collections on ao3, there will be a collection made specifically for Azris Week 2026 that you are free to add your submission to. If you have trouble adding to it for any reason, send us a DM here and we can add it manually.

Anything posted or crossposted on tumblr (and tagging this account, @azrisweek) will be reblogged. Please note that you must tag the account in the body of the post, not the tags, in order to be reblogged and included in the master lists.

For submissions on Instagram, there will be an account to tag/set as collaborator; this account will be set up within the week and will be linked in the event week's rules/prompt post.

All accepted submissions will be included on the master lists for each day, which are usually posted in the week following the event.

#azris week 2026

so excited for this June!!

(azris-fying the Bee Movie script is still on the table…right?)

Not only is it still on the table, I think I might DEMAND it

azrisweek

Just this last week, Azris reached over 1000 fics! This is nearly 300 more since Azris Week 2025. Visit @azrisversary to celebrate this ship and this incredible milestone.

For 2026, we have a few new prompts, as well as some of the most popular from Azris Week 2025. Remember, the prompts are only guidelines - you can create something that fits strictly with the prompt or something that only barely relates. Anything is on the table, but please review the rules below before you post.

Day 4: Everything Is...

What's your favourite trending TikTok audio? How would it map onto Azriel and Eris, either together or separately? You can even go old school and quote Vines or something that got a rando onto the Ellen Degeneres Show. This is ideal for TikTok and video editors.

Day 5: Favorite Trope/AU

Only one bed? Check. Swordplay as innuendo? Check. Or maybe a love story that takes place in a world neither in Prythian or on planet Earth? Hell yeah.

Day 6: Bees

Illyrians have five eyes, and are responsible for pollinating most of the crops and flowers grown on this planet. According to all known laws of aviation, there is no way that an Illyrian should be able to fly. Their wings are too small to get their huge, buff bodies off the ground. The Illyrian, of course, flies anyway. Because Illyrians don't care what Fae think is impossible.

Day 7: Free Day

Illyrians now canonically look like this

the-darkestminds

Perhaps Tomorrow | Azriel x Eris | 12k words | E

READ ON AO3

Snippet:

Eris gives up trying to piece it all together. He’s tired—exhausted, really, and he’s got all the time in the world to worry about it later.

Perhaps tomorrow, when the sun is shining and he can no longer feel the bruising outline of Rhysand’s fingers on his skin.

a/n: this is angsty

Tag list below the cut, let me know if you want on/off!

Can you submit chapter of a multi chapter fic for one of the days(like post it on that specific day)? If so, how does that work with collections and stuff on ao3?

Also, are late submissions acceptable and how long would they go until? I probably missed something but just wanted to make sure 😅

Thank you 🤍

These are excellent questions; thanks for giving us the opportunity to clarify!

There are a few ways that multi-chapter works can fit into the week:

Each chapter fits a prompt for the week. Example: Chapter 1 fits Day 1; Chapter 2 fits Day 2; etc.

One chapter of an already-existing fic is submitted for a prompt. There must be a new chapter to match another day's prompt in order for the second chapter to be included in the master lists. Example: Chapter 16 of your work matches Day Two's prompt; in order for Chapter 17 to be included, it must match Day Three or another day.

You can post the first chapter(s) of a multi-chaptered fic on the prompt day that best matches your fic.

To include any work in the AO3 collection, you should be able to add it to the collection (once it is made) by scrolling down to the "associations" box and selecting the title of the collection. We will make a post with the official collection name closer to the event week. If you cannot add it for whatever reason, just DM us and we can manually add it.

As for late submissions, we allow participants to post up to a week after the end of the event week (in this case June 20, 2026). Submissions after this date will not be added to the master list or the AO3 collection.

#azrisweek2026

are the Azris prompts just posted an April Fools Prank? 😅😆

No way to know. You should check again tomorrow just to bee sure.

The comic sans is a joke right? 😭

separatist-apologist

If you can't think of good prompts, give the event to someone who can? You don't take it seriously and we're already a joke to e/riel's without you giving us a Bee Movie prompt

I don't give a fuck what e/riel's think of this event and it's never crossed my mind to care.

the-lonelybarricade

This mentality is crazy - we very intentionally gave the community an opportunity to submit ideas that they want to see?? We've given voice to EVERY submission. And only the ones that get a majority vote will end up being on the final prompt list? I don't see how letting the community choose what they want Elucien Week to look like - and having a little fun along the way - is a bad thing.

secret-third-thing

Anon's take is so wild. God forbid an event week have a little fun.

And on another note, I find it pretty sad that we are pushing event organizers to weaponize their event weeks. Who cares what the people who don't care about elucien think of elucien week? I can guarantee you right now that the organizers for weeks featuring eris (eris, azris, neris) do not spend their time thinking about people who hate Eris. I'm sure that the eris haters think we are losers and yet we are still around doing our thing.

These are meant to be events that bring us together b/c we love the same characters. These are not ways to weaponize who is right or more serious or more important.

azrisweek

If we spent our time wondering what anti-eris or anti-azriel people thought of us, there wouldn’t be time to write or draw. Or go outside and not harangue people running event weeks for free. It’s not a competition to make other people like/join your ship. It’s faerie porn, homie.

secret-third-thing

Gonna bother the eris week mods. What prompts should we bully them into considering? Some ideas:

Hundreds of Beavers Hounds

Pee-wee's Eris's Big Adventure

Ogre aka Eris lives in a swamp

2016 Clown Vanserra legacy

@azrisweek you're not free from me either. Please do Blades of Glory thanks.

azrisweek

What do we think of Center Stage (2000)?

Not Unspectacular Things

Rating: G

Pairing: Azris

Summary: There are times, lying in the twilight, that Azriel can feel it beginning to all come apart.

Notes: I wrote this for @olenvasynyt as a reward for winning the Azris Week 2025 Hype Bat Challenge, where the person who read and commented on the most fics from a list of fics with fewer than 500 hits won a fic on a subject of their choosing from me. She gave me this very aromatic (i can smell the petrichor, okay) snapshot of Azriel and Eris, and helpful gave me a song from Mitski to work with - I’m Your Man. I hope you enjoy, and thanks for giving back to the Azris community!!

Title from the Ada Limón poem <i>Dead Stars</i>: Look, we are not unspectacular things./We’ve come this far, survived this much. What/would happen if we decided to survive more?

There are times, lying in the twilight, that Azriel can feel it beginning to all come apart. He can feel the oxygen around him metastasizing into shadows that he cannot breathe, watching him with eyes Azriel will never quite see. His lungs are heavy on his spine whenever he inhales. Crushed beneath the weight of his rib cage and an impossible future, it is too easy to forget where he actually is.

And he is here, wings and shadows and everything in between, in a cabin in Autumn.

#azris week 2025 countdown #hype bat challenge

Hi, everyone!

Thank you all for your fics, art, headcanons, incorrect quotes, mood boards, and all the many, many reviews, likes, kudos, and reblogs. We added over 60 works to the Azris Week 2025 collection, most of which were completely new works.

It took us a long time to do it, but all the master lists SHOULD be correct (please DM if they're not) and all pending works have been added to the ao3 collection. The ao3 collection is now closed and will not be admitting further late submissions.

We're already looking forward to 2026, though we will definitely see some of you freaks (affectionate) during @erisweekofficial. Speaking of which - if there is a special Eris creator in your life, consider sending them love notes. I hear there's dogs involved.
