Once Upon a Dream: Elucien’s Version

“But if I know you, I’ll know what you’ll do. You’ll love me at once, just like you did once upon a dream.”

✨Day One of Elucien Week: Mates✨

There’s just something about SJM mates that feels akin to that of Disney couples. I’ve been dreaming of this commission since I read all the ACOTAR books and couldn’t help but see how much Elain and Lucien’s storyline is similar to that of Sleeping Beauty. From the references to light, the thorns and budding roses of Elain’s mind that only Lucien could get through to, the Koschei-Maleficient parallels, their love of being in nature, and how they are set up to fall in love with each other outside of the fact that they were already destined to end up together by other forces. Also you can’t tell me you don’t see Lucien storming Koschei’s castle to get his mate back just like how he sprinted across the battlefield to get her! Safe to say that with the ACOTAR 6 draft being confirmed done just before the start of elucien week, I am hyped to be able to see the great deal of tension, growth, and healing that they will find together in future books✨

I am so grateful to the incredibly talented @cedakotes . Please give a round of applause to her who it was an absolute pleasure to work with on this project. She made my ideas take flight and added a depth of beauty far beyond anything I could have imagined.

Likes, comments, and shares would be lovely, but please be kind to me and one another I’m sensitive and get stressed out when people argue with one another!!

** no bats or badger cloaks were injured/hurt in the making of this commission **

The book chapter and quote are each from Chapter 21 of ACOTAR and ACOMAF, respectively:

Which is funny because in ACOSF:

It’s time shine like the spark in Azriel’s chest, Gwynriel✨

The Suriel told them about the plot of the next book it seems… then they pin this comment which is what I posted originally

All Gwynriels right now😌:

Next ACOTAR book acronym: ACOWAS ?

It looks like SJM underlined WAS, does it mean nothing or does it mean everything??

What do you think it is? My guess: A Court of Wind and Stone 🦇 🩵 💙 🧜‍♀️

[bookgoose444]

It must be terribly exhausting grasping for validation of your ship in anything because canon and the author continuously refute it.

Couldn’t be me😌✨

[bookgoose444]

Elain has used Truth-teller to sever a connection

It’s just not in the way [redacted] wanted it to happen

And yet they continue to make fanart with TT even though she severed that ONLY connection to Azriel and walked away from it without a thought.

But they say Eluciens are going against Elain’s wants? Bffr

[bookgoose444]

The Sleeping Beauty Retelling of ACOTAR

It is known SJM saved sleeping beauty themed pins to her deleted Pinterest. It is also obvious that Elain’s storyline has abundant Aurora references. Which begs the question, who is her Phillip?

Well, in sleeping beauty, Aurora and Prince Phillip were to be married to one another from birth, but fell in love with one another outside of that.

Similar to how Elain and Lucien were mated from birth, but will (as SJM implies) fall in love with one another outside of that.

The rest of their character parallels are so clear✨🤗

[gwynrieldefenseatty]

Helion and Rhys killing any threats to their mates 🤝🏼 Azriel killing all the Hybern soldiers when he saw Gwyn

Someone again tell me how these are different?

[bookgoose444]

Friendly Reminder:

Bryce and Hunt are (and always will be) endgame for SJM

SJM confirms that the first three crescent city books are Bryce and Hunts story (just as ACOTARs first three books were Feyre and Rhysands) and there are other characters she will write about after them.

SJM confirms Bryce and Hunt are actually mates, like really really and endgame if they both make it to the end

Spoiler for HOFAS: Bryce and Hunt both make it to the end and are still happily mated and married (:

End of their story. Hope that helps!

[acourtofthought]

"Elucien's don't respect what Elain wants because she said she doesn't want a mate therefore they're all misogynists!"

So what are they when they ship Vassa with Lucien though Lucien himself declared he was a mated male on multiple occasions and had no interest in other females in that way?

What are they when they ship Lucien with Vassa though Vassa has never expressed romantic interest in Lucien or men?

This is a fandom which means people can ship whoever they want but if they're really going to resort to name calling, they're twice as guilty because they're trying to force together two characters who have never shown romantic interest in one another (being friends does NOT automatically equal romantic interest otherwise Feyre wants Lucien, Bryce wants Tharion and Ithan, Cassian wants Mor even now that he's mated to Nesta, and so on).

[bookgoose444]

Just thinking about how in Crescent City SJM wrote about the Earth Goddess being in love with and mated to the Sun God (not a shadow God).

And yet people still believe SJM will write that Elain and Lucien are incompatible.

[toolsofmyenemy]

Azriel has deep feelings for Elain. He wants her and only her. He is in love with Elain forever

Someone should let him know so he can start planning

[luneserene]

I'm halfway through Queen of Shadows and bam,

✨the thread✨ appears:

Aelin felt as if she was Rowan.

Sounds familiar, right?

Feysand and the thread (tugged) , Feyre's ability to see through Rhysand's eyes.

Nessian and the thread.

Unfortunately, no info on feeling as if she was Cassian.

Elucien, Elain feeling the pull of the thread tied to a rib (almost middle). Like Feyre.

So no, Elucien's bond is real and described the same as others in SJM books.

Case closed once again.

Look at this stunning art by @aggiedraws for @kt-reads-things early birthday present 🥳

You can support the art here!

After seeing Taylor Swift in that stunning red dress and Travis’ initial on her upper thigh at the Grammys. Something had to be done for our Gwyn.

“I dream of cracking locks

Throwing my life to the wolves

Or the ocean rocks

Crashing into him tonight”

Like HELLO??

His title is literally SHADOWSINGER.

And the girl who can make his SHADOWS SING is not his mate?

Please.
