Nesta's book ended with the three sisters together, Elain holding Nyx in her arms. Elain's book will probably end with all three sisters and three brothers together, fulfilling the prophecy.
Headcanon: When Elain accidentally messes up the recipe and runs off crying, Azriel eats it all anyway and goes after her screaming "ELAIN I LOVE YOUR BREADS!!!"
Just imagine if Gwynriels were actually a character in ACOTAR world:
"Elain is an evil bitch! She is going to betray this court! Just wait!"
"Elain can't carry Illyrian babies in her womb, so being romantically with Azriel is useless. But Gwyn can, Az! She is your mate! She can have your babies because her bones are pliant!!! Have babies with her!!!"
"Get out of our court, Elain! You don't belong here! Go with your mate! Shoo!"
"This gardener girl is fucking boring. That's why she doesn't have any friends, only the maids can stand her because it's their work. Not even her sisters like her. I hope she get the fuck away from here."
"Oh, Azriel is just being driven by lust. This will be over soon. It's nothing genuine, he only sees a pussy in Elain."
"Look, Elain, you whore! Azriel gave your solstice gift to Gwyn! The necklace is hers now! That night was a mistake! Now get on your knees and apologize to your mate for cheating on h-"
And with that, Azriel would blow their face off the universe and they would disappear into the quantum.
I just finished rewatching the Sleeping Beauty movie, and I noticed many things that made me think about Elriel.
Aurora lives in a secluded cottage with her fairies who work as maids for her protection, she sings and dances dreaming of love, she and Phillip fall in love surrounded by the forest gardens without knowing they are fated to marry each other, they plan together to meet up at night, the fairies forbid her to ever see Phillip again, Aurora grieves and is heartbroken because she thinks she is betrothed to other and could never see Phillip again, Maleficent takes advantage of Aurora's sadness and feelings for Phillip and causes her to be hypnotized, then she falls into the curse, Phillip is imprisoned by Maleficent, the fairies save Phillip, he fights her dragon form and kills her by plunging his Sword of Truth into her heart, and he breaks Aurora's curse by giving her the true love's kiss, and she is happy when she learns that her betrothed and her love are the same person.
Also Aurora dislikes reminds me of Elain: being treated like a child, arranged marriages, not seeing Phillip, feeling lonely.
But anyway.
I'm 100% sure Elain will have the Sleeping Beauty tale retelling in her book.
She has dawn and roses as her symbols. Aurora is the Roman goddess of dawn, and Disney's Sleeping Beauty princess. Briar Rose is the main character of the Sleeping Beauty tale, and 'Briar' is also the name of the girl who Azriel helped saving during Elain's rescue.
I have a strong thought that Elain once dreamed of Azriel before she met him. It makes sense because her power transcends time and could send dreams for her past human life. We all have dreams and somehow these dreams are connected to our lives, I can only imagine the dreams of a human who will be a seer in future.
Papa Archeron could have bargained Elain to Koschei, it would be her curse.
About the 'true love's kiss' and Elriel, Sarah made a lot of tension of their almost kiss. Their first kiss will probably cause fans who read the bonus to react like 'oooh, so this would have happened if they kissed that night'.
If something happened to Elain, only her true mate could feel what happened to her - cut to Az talking to Cassian about feeling it in his chest if something had happened to his mate like he has experience with mating bond; it could be the Hybern war rescue, or when he figured out Elain is a seer instead of her mate, we don't know yet. From what we've seen, Lucien doesn't seem to be this mate, since Elain can only feel something stuck in her spine, not her soul, and gets uncomfortable with him because he is a completely unknown person and soul to her.
I can see that Sarah has everything written for Elriel. Antis are literally blind.
Lucien is out there vibing with his bros dancing caramelldansen in other continent, meanwhile Azriel, being in the same place as Elain, is feeling sick almost throwing up, pining every night over a tiny headache potion with a cute little pink bow in his nightstand, having wet dreams, wanting to get on all fours, and almost killing his brothers by throwing rocks instead of snowballs
Who is the mate that is really going crazy here???
Azriel x Elain - One Shot | ACOTAR | Art by illustratedbymorgan
Word Count: 950 | M/E-Rated 🌶️
Summary: While attempting to maintain his composure in the kitchen, Azriel is driven to the brink of madness by Elain's deceptively innocent behavior, entirely consumed by the dark, filthy desires she unknowingly provokes.
The scent of vanilla and spun sugar in the river house’s kitchen was entirely innocent. Elain was entirely innocent.
Azriel, however, was currently burning alive in his own personal hell.
He sat at the long oak table, a whetstone in one hand, Truth-Teller in the other. He hadn't polished the blade in an hour. He couldn't. His shadows, usually so alert, so quick to whisper warnings of political unrest or enemy movements, were currently clustered near the hem of Elain’s dress, practically panting.
Vulgar, he thought, a dark wave of shame rippling through his chest. He was a spymaster. He was the shadowsinger. He should have been focusing on the intelligence reports piling up in his study.
Instead, he was completely, utterly down bad.
Elain hummed a soft, lilting Velaris tune, dusting a wooden cutting board with flour. She was wearing a new dress. She’d claimed Nuala and Cerridwen had tailored it for the upcoming summer solstice, but Azriel was convinced the half-wraiths were trying to murder him.
The bodice was modest enough, covering her collarbones, but the fabric was spun so tightly against her skin it was a sin. It hugged the sweet, sloping curve of her waist before flaring out over hips that looked agonizingly wider than they had last season. Every time she reached for a mixing bowl, the fabric stretched taut, accentuating the perfect, heavy roundness of her ass.
That magnificent ass. He’d spent centuries believing his preferences lay elsewhere, but Elain had effortlessly corrupted him, turning him into a male entirely enslaved by her backside.
Azriel’s throat went bone-dry. His knuckles turned white around the hilt of his dagger.
He imagined walking up behind her. He imagined his large, scarred hands gripping those deceptively wide hips, pulling her back against his groin until she could feel exactly what she was doing to him. He wanted to hook his fingers into that tight fabric, rip it down the center seam, and bury his face between those soft, pale cheeks. He wanted to mark her. He wanted to hear the sweet, breathless gasp she would make when he slid two fingers inside her, finding her already wet for him while the bread was still rising in the oven.
A drop of sweat rolled down his neck. Calm down, he told himself, the Illyrian beast inside him roaring at the restraint. She is a lady. She is sweet, and gentle, and not yours.
"Azriel?"
Her voice was like silk, cutting through the heavy haze of his depravity.
He forced his expression to remain a mask of cool, unbothered calm, though his wings twitched tight against his back. "Yes, Elain?"
She turned around, wiping a stray smudge of flour from her cheek, entirely unaware that she had just spent the last ten minutes driving a centuries-old warrior to the brink of madness. She looked up at him through her lashes, those big, brown doe eyes wide and full of absolute trust.
Gods above.
Azriel’s mind fractured. His eyes nearly rolled back into his head as a violent surge of lust hit him straight in the gut.
Those eyes. Those beautiful, innocent, wide eyes.
A filthy, dark image flashed in his mind, vivid enough to make his vision blur. He imagined her. He imagined his thick, aching cock sliding past her lips, stretching her mouth out as she swallowed him whole. He wanted to grip her soft golden-brown hair, his fingers tangling in the strands, to tilt her head back and look down into those exact same doe eyes while they watered from the sheer, unforgiving size of him. He wanted to see her blown-out gaze looking up at him, completely wrecked by his thickness, choking beautifully as he claimed her mouth, marking her throat with the rhythmic thrust of his hips until she was entirely marked by him. Until he was entirely done by her.
His cock throbbed painfully against the leather of his leathers, straining so hard it ached.
"Do you think Rhys and Feyre will like the blackberry tarts?" Elain asked softly, gesturing to the neat rows of pastry on the counter. "I used the honey from the night market.“
Azriel swallowed hard, his voice dropping an octave, thick and gravelly. "They will love them.“
"Are you alright?" She took a step closer, tilting her head. Her breasts, pushed up by the tight bodice, swelled temptingly. "You look a bit flushed. Is it too warm in here?“
"I'm fine," he choked out. If she came any closer, if he caught the scent of her arousal, he was going to lose his mind. He was going to throw her onto the floured table, push that tight dress up to her waist, and take her until they both forgot their own names.
"If you're sure," Elain smiled, a sweet, radiant thing that made him feel like the vilest creature in the Night Court for the thoughts running through his head. She turned back to her baking, her round ass shifting deliciously under the tight fabric as she reached for a dish towel.
Azriel gripped the edge of the table, letting the rough wood bite into his palms, praying for the mother to grant him strength. He was a patient man. He had waited centuries for many things.
But looking at Elain, he knew his restraint was ticking down to its final, agonizing seconds.
Then, just before she turned back to the cooling tarts, she glanced back over her shoulder, her sweet expression fracturing for a split second into a sharp, devastatingly wicked smile, and Azriel’s heart stopped as he caught Elain's smirk, the realization hitting him like a physical blow that she knew, oh hell, she knew.
Looks like the third sister, exactly the one left out of the Archeron-sisters-and-bat-boys-being-mates thing, was reflected powerfully in the third brother's life...
Do they remember that Nuala and Cerridwen, Elain's best friends, the female characters who will be by her side - just like the Valkyries with Nesta - are half shadow-wraiths, right?
Whoever is waiting for Elain's book is thrilled with the promo having roses and shadows. The shadows belong both to the twins and Azriel.
The symbolism behind Elain and Elriel has a lot to do with dusk.
Her scent has honey, which belongs to the day, and jasmine, which belongs to the night.
It's also interesting that two winged animals (bees and bats) surround her symbols (honey, jasmine, flowers...), one group is day-active, the other group is night-active. The owl too (other winged animal, nocturnal) is linked to Elain.
Elain and Azriel are symbolized with light and darkness, life and death. The symbolism of rebirth is also strong; her gardening, the fact that she has to be reborn to take the biological mating bond out of her.
Dusk is the time of the day when sunlight (Elain) and moonlight (Mother), light (Elain) and darkness (Azriel) meet.
Honey shining golden under sunlight, warm meadows, sweetness of flowers, clear skies. Jasmine glowing silver under moonlight, cold forests, fragrance of blossoms, starry skies.
One thing that makes me dread the stupidity of this part of the fandom is that THEY DON'T SEE OR UNDERSTAND that there’s no such thing as a “Rhysand book,” a “Cassian book,” and there won’t be an “Azriel book.”
The main ACOTAR books were of FEYRE, the last was the spin-off book of her sister NESTA, and the next one will be the spin-off book of her sister ELAIN. AZRIEL ISN'T FEYRE'S SISTER.
ACOSF ended with the THREE SISTERS together.
Sarah CONFIRMED Elain will have her own book and that she was doing research for her book. She didn't confirm "Azriel's book".
The next spin-off will complete the sisters' stories.
For fuck's sake, we already have the three sisters x three brothers thing, WE HAVE THE THREE FRIENDS THING TOO.
Feyre - Archeron Sister & High Lady of the Night Court
Rhysand - Bat Boy & High Lord of the Night Court
Morrigan & Amren - Second-In-Command and Third-In-Command of the Night Court
Leadership of the Night Court / "LOVE ME" (Heart)
Nesta - Archeron Sister & Valkyrie Warrior
Cassian - Bat Boy & General Commander of the Night Court's Military Forces
Emerie & Gwyneth - Valkyrie Warriors of the Night Court's Special Forces
Force of the Night Court / "TOUCH ME" (Body)
Elain - Archeron Sister & Seer of the Night Court
Azriel - Bat Boy & Spymaster of the Night Court
Nuala & Cerridwen - Spies of the Night Court
Eyes of the Night Court / "SING ME" (Soul)
Also their given couple names:
Night Triumphant & Stars Eternal
Lord of Bloodshed & Lady Death
Death & Lovely Fawn
The fact that the next spin-off book is 100% about the third sister, the journey of the last sister left, and that there were TWO BONUSES with FEYRE and RHYSAND talking about ELAIN and AZRIEL, and an AZRIEL’s POV, should have already made it OBVIOUS who the next MCs will be, and WHO THE NEXT SISTER WILL END UP WITH.
The bonus wasn't the Valkyries talking about Gwyneth or Azriel. It was FEYRE talking about her SISTER and her possible LOVE INTEREST and how they should be together and debating with Rhysand about the Cauldron being wrong, and then her possible LOVE INTEREST having a POV, like CASSIAN had before Nesta's book, CONFIRMING HE IS THE MMC, her LOVE INTEREST, and that the Cauldron is in fact WRONG.
The promo of the next books has PINK and BLUE, ROSES and SHADOWS, Sarah has put a PASTEL PINK heart and a COBALT BLUE heart together in the announcement post, Elain merch is all PINK and FLOWERY, Azriel merch is all BLUE and SHADOWY, all the merch being released is focusing on the THREE SISTERS X THREE BROTHERS.
It' was O B V I O U S all this time you dumbasses. Stop fighting REALITY.
Wait, I thought 🩷 meant nothing? But now, just because they wore pink t-shirts, the Valkyries are suddenly 'pink' even when there’s already a character literally associated with pink in the book? The math is not mathing.
If you're all that confident about it, then go ahead and put 🩷💙 in your bios
Pink was always about the Valkyries??? Where??? When???
All ACOTAR pink merch is Elain-themed, as well as the roses
Why the fuck the pink heart would be the Valkyries? Now they want all the Valkyries with Azriel??? The next book will be about Azriel having a harem???

Did you guys notice that Feyre's and Rhysand's jewelry have three stars, Nesta's and Cassian's jewelry have sharp parts, and Azriel's and Elain's jewelry have wavy parts? They match.
