In Progress Multichapter

Inside of You 🌷 - In the days leading up to Nesta and Cassian’s mating ceremony, Elain and Lucien run into a rather…unusual predicament. A strange spell seems to have made them switch bodies. They’ll 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.

Completed Multichapter

Treacherous Waters 🌷 - Elain Archeron, the middle daughter of a prominent merchant, eagerly awaits her wedding day to Lieutenant Graysen. The day never arrives, as her father’s debts catch up to him in the form of angry pirates who want what they are owed. With no money to offer, a deal is struck: One eligible daughter must marry the pirate captain.

ACOWAR (Elucien's Version) 🌷 - One moment. All it takes is one singular moment to change the trajectory of fate. Following the events of Hybern, everything changes when Lucien instinctively grabs his mate—Elain Archeron—and brings her back to the Spring Court with Feyre and Tamlin.

Animal Instincts - When Elain is unexpectedly transformed into a cat, Lucien thankfully comes to her rescue. Well, she would be more grateful, if he also wasn't so incredibly infuriating.

So Sick of Dreaming 🌷 - When Elain falls sick, the feverish dreams entangle with her visions. Wickedly erotic dreams involving her mate, Lucien Vanserra, that feel almost too real...

Dear Lucien, Dear Elain: An Epistolary Fic (in collaboration with @zenkindoflove) - After the winter solstice in ACOSF, Elain and Lucien exchange letters as a means to get to know each other away from prying eyes.

Completed Oneshots

Like Moths To The Flame 🌷- Five times Jesminda and Lucien kissed, and the one time they did not.

Warm In the Wintertime 🌷 - Every turn of their emissary trip to the Winter Court was intent on reminding Elain and Lucien of the fact their awkward, distant relationship was no longer possible to ignore. But like fresh snow, the Winter Court was known for new beginnings....and their hot springs.

The Fox Hunt 🌷- Elain Archeron is invited to Lord Graysen's annual Fox Hunt. She gladly attends in hopes she'll secure a marriage proposal, but fate has other plans when she finds a clever fox in the woods. If she's not careful, his many bargains may just ruin her.

Beasts Inside Us 🌷 - While staying in the mortal lands with the Band of Exiles, Elain Archeron stumbles across a familiar face from her past. Only Graysen wants revenge. Her only hope is that her mate, Lucien Vanserra, can save her—in more ways than one.

Separate My Body From My Soul 🌷- When Lucien Vanserra is held captive by his father in the cruel depths of Autumn, there is only one force more powerful than politics that can save him—his mating bond with Elain Archeron. She must make the choice to save him, even if it means binding their souls forever.

Call Me Selfish, Call Me Wrecked 🌷 - Like countless times before, they’re dangling Elain in front of him without a mention of her name. And for once, Lucien decides to selfishly take it. “I’ll marry her,” he pretends to investigate his nails, even if his heart is about to burst from his fucking chest. “But only if she agrees to it as well. That’s my only condition.” Elain agrees. Lucien learns the consequences of not shutting up.

A Cut Above the Rest - While on the run in the Continent, Elain and Lucien must discuss what has remained unspoken after a frightening incident.

Courting Lucien Vanserra 🌷 “I think it may be too late for us, that I was a wretch for far too long and now he wants nothing to do with me—” Elain blurted out in a teary confession to her sisters. Nesta, face like stone, hissed. “Then there is only one thing left to do. You must thoroughly and ardently court him.”

bet on me - Elain is caught sulking at her sister's mating ceremony. Lucien wagers a drinking game to prove who knows the other best.

i would stay forever (just don't go) - “You! You torment me, Lucien. Day and night. You fill my dreams and nightmares." Elain struggles to know what is real and not real. And only Lucien can help.

in eternal bloom - On the quest to find the sixth mortal queen, Lucien Vanserra meets a human with brown eyes and that same stubborn Archeron nose. Together, on their search for Vassa, Lucien befriends Elain’s father, and learns a bit more about his mate.

curses and gifts - In which Elain is cursed to live that fateful day with the Cauldron again and again and again. Until a choice is made.

dug a hole in the garden and buried a scream - Elain tends to her hobbies. Elain gardens. And most of all, Elain screams.

I need a polite and effective way to say "hey your heart is truly in the right place and your anger is often righteous but I think sometimes you’re getting recreationally mad about things that are frankly not worth the amount of energy you’re spending on them, and every time you do this you're driving yourself slightly more insane with nothing to show for it," and then I need a way to broadcast that message through a loudspeaker to roughly 30,000 people at once, and THEN I need a time machine to send that message to my past self lol. and maybe a second time machine in case past me tries to be clever and sabotage the version of me who comes through the first time machine

[catnippackets]

the hardest pill to swallow about being in a fandom is that some people are only ankle-deep in it and aren't taking things too seriously and other people are up to their necks and taking it as seriously as a heart attack and yet everybody thinks that every other person is in it just as deep as they are and will get very upset to realize otherwise because they don't know how to engage with the different perspective

Fluttering Wings CH 5: Dahlias

Elain x Lucien | Rated Explicit | 5/25(?) chapters | 21,819 words

Summary:

Plagued by mysterious visions and war on the horizon, Elain Archeron must challenge herself and her usefulness to the Night Court. So when Lucien is called back to his estranged home to stop Beron from gaining territory in Spring, the two mates find themselves confronted with similar paths, forced to address the mating bond they've been avoiding for two years.

Read chapter 5   ||   Start from the beginning 

Snippet below cut:

The male with the braid rested a bruised hand on a tree trunk.  “Are you lost, my love?” he crooned, tilting his head at Elain.

With her heart daring to leap out of her throat, she pressed closer to Kohana.  “No, sir.  We’re travelling.”

The male smiled, his genial air so in contrast with his cruel, amber-colored eyes.  “Quite an unusual road for a Spring female to travel on.” He gazed leisurely down the empty path, then onto her green dress peeking from underneath Kohana’s borrowed coat.   His smile grew wider.  “So far away from home.”

Hoping she sounded calmer than she felt, she replied, “That is the circumstances of travel.  One will be far from home before traversing closer.”

The cronies around them chuckled, their voices like crackling embers.  In Elain’s periphery, one pushed aside his tattered cloak to reveal a knife—not the jeweled weapons she had seen on Lucien’s person, but the plain metal looked just as sharp.

The leader with the auburn braid chuckled at her retort.  “Indeed, my lady.  But I didn’t realize such esteemed High Fae associated with disfigured rabble such as this one.”  He raised an eyebrow at Kohana.

Kohana squeezed her arm, as if to warn her to stop talking.  All of the faerie’s teasing and confidence seemed to be buried in the presence of the High Fae males: the female kept her eyes down, though Elain couldn’t help but notice her other hand slipping beneath her cloak.  

Two females—one unarmed and frankly useless in the foreign court—against three males with already bruised fists and weapons hanging at their belts.  They would lose, surely, before Elain’s sisters or Lucien could even realize she was missing from Night.

Lucien.  He would surely become aware of her absence in Night, if he hadn’t already.  Amidst the fear weaving its way inside her, the bond tugged hard and heavy.  

He had held you before the Cauldron, a small voice said.  He had fought through the battle for you, blood staining his hair and skin.  And he would do the same now.  

A small twinge of hope.  Despite the illogic of it, despite the miles between them, despite everything…her body screamed for him.

But he had not saved her then.  It had been her to wield the knife.  And he had certainly not saved her before, when her mortal life had ended and her immortal one forced upon her.  If anything, it had been his fault it had happened, she thought, a bitter sadness and desperation fighting against the cursed bond.  The Hybernian soldiers who had taken her and Nesta from the beds: their leering faces, their hands wrapping around their wrists and ankles—

Now, she was on some country road in the heart of Autumn, miles away from the border with Spring, and again forced to face males she would no doubt lose against.

FYI I’ve turned off my tumblr notifications.

For the past week, I turned off the notifications on my phone. I just had too much going on with moving into a new house, unpacking, selling our home, just dealing with the challenges of life. I also don’t allow myself to scroll through any sort of reel anymore—no TikTok, no IG, no FB or whatever it may be. It’s been really, really refreshing and I can’t recommend it enough lmao.

I’m so much more present with my kids. I went on a run today for the first time in two years. Felt amazing. I still do check social media periodically through the day and answer texts/messages, but it’s so much less of a time suck now. I try to use my free time for the things that matter right now to me. Writing original work. Reading. Improving my mental health cause it’s been real fucking bad and affecting my family—I just needed to get my shit together.

Motherhood gives you a lot, but it also takes a lot from you. The biggest thing being time. Time is such a scarcity nowadays. Not to mention free time entirely for myself. I’m trying to make the time I do get matter. So far it’s been going better. I feel better.

So all that to say, I’ll still here, but sparingly. It’s a good thing.

the setting is also a character. many do not know this but its true. it has a history and a future and often an arc of its own, and the other characters all have personal relationships with it

[bowditch]

this is why college, modern, bakery, flower shop, fantasy, post apoc, etc etc AU is either boring af to me or one of the best stories in a fandom. the thing that makes or breaks the story is whether or not the setting change is treated with the weight of a Character-- how does it impact characters and still keep them recognizable? it's like you've given everyone a new bestie or enemy and they all have to live with it. how does it shape them and change them? what parts survive? what parts of them impact the setting?
