Soulmate is too soft a word for the string that tied my heart to yours.

Azriel, the Shadowsinger

A little (big) repost because I feel like I messed up the original post here…

Elucien Week Day 1: Heartbeat

“When I sleep, I can hear your heart beating through the stone […] Can you hear mine?” - A Court of Wings and Ruin

Happy Elucien Week everyone!

This is actually a repost of my very first Elucien commission from all the way back in Feb 2022 and it remains one of my favourite to this date, particularly because of the quote it is inspired by. It’s one of my favourite Elucien quotes and I love that it comes directly from Elain herself.

There is something so tender yet so unbelievably vulnerable, to ask someone, “Can you hear my heart too?” and I am so looking forward to the moment where Lucien hears her too. (my head canon is that he currently can’t because the last time he’d heard someone’s heart beating, it was Jesminda’s stopping)

With this prompt and Elucien living 24/7, rent free in my mind, I had to reshare this piece with you all!

Art is by drawwda on Instagram!

Mermay Gwynriel Art by me for @thevalkyriesshadow !

One of my favorite pieces of all time 🩵💙🎶

🧚🏼Jude Duarte🗡️

This was highly requested and perfect timing since I’m nearly done reading the Cruel Prince!

I just can’t make art for books I haven’t read 😭 So here’s my Jude, in her Coronation Day Dress.

Hope you like her! Should I draw Cardan too?

[cyrastory]

💔 Valko in My Style🐺

I typically operate in bookish fandoms but when I first saw Valko, I was in love.

I started working on this a week ago after the Valko announcement. I was obsessed with him from the start - he personifies several bookish male characteristics that I enjoy (wolf shifter, cuddler, nerd, golden retriever vibes).

And when I finished the art yesterday, it was announced that he was cancelled 😭

🕵🏻‍♀️Spying on the Spymaster👀

Scroll ➡️ for a surprise at the end 🤭

Uncensored is on my AO3: Cyrastory

POV: You arrive at the House of Wind, hoping to train with Nesta. The House appears empty until you hear the faint sound of a shower running [does Prythian have showers?].

Who could it be? You pass each room and find the House mostly quiet.

Nesta’s room first, then Cassian’s room…oh.

OH.

The Shadowsinger is here.

Naturally you peer in, praying his shadows won’t detect you. You wipe some of the steam away from the shower glass. Do you think he will catch you? 😏

Character is Azriel Shadowsinger from A Court of Thorns and Roses by Sarah J Maas (ACOTAR).

🩷Valkyrie x Pilates⚔️

One of my amazing friends @_banannikacos suggested this idea based on the @bloomsburypublishing promos and I couldn’t get it out of my head, so here’s a silly little doodle/comic.

Hope you enjoy it! Major thanks to @miseryreads for the concept creation!

Gwyneth Berdara, Emerie of Illyria, and Nesta Archeron from A Court of Silver Flames by Sarah J Maas

💋Leave Your Mark🤴🏻

Manon (and me) wanted to show you our handy work after a long night with Dorian 😏

The sun is rising and she (I) decided that everyone should know who Dorian belongs too.

And Dorian? Well, he’s just happy to be there 🙂

Hope you like it!

🕯️Elspeth Spindle and the Nightmare🃏

I just finished One Dark Window by Rachel Gillig and really enjoyed the gothic, spooky nature. Elspeth is fascinating and plagued by the Nightmare.

I think I wasn’t supposed to like him but he sorta grew on me lol.

I haven’t finished Two Twisted Crowns so hopefully my drawing isn’t too far off (slide right for a spoiler).

I’ve been working on learning to draw fabrics and imagined her structured dress made from a deep, red taffeta.

Hope you like it!

Sarah J. Maas, author of the ACOTAR series, once said she was an OUTLANDER fan and that Jamie Fraser was one of her inspirations when writing the books. This led ACOTAR fans to theorize that Jamie may have been the inspiration for the red-haired Lucien. 👀 Personally, I can't say for sure. 🤔 But I really liked Lucien from his first appearance in the book. I see traits in him that are reminiscent of Jamie's: devotion, self-sacrifice, a wonderful sense of humor, loyalty, the ability to listen and hear, a flexible mind, the ability to admit mistakes, the ability to understand and accept, courage, fearlessness, a willingness to give his life for his love, scars, and... fiery red hair. 😄 But if you think his storyline is similar to Jamie's, I'm sorry to disappoint you. Lucien has a completely different story and his own journey. But he's a wonderful character in the book series, one of the characters. I'm a little sad that he's featured less in the books than I initially expected, but I hope his character gets more development in future books. Haven't read ACOTAR yet? And if you have, does Lucien remind you of Jamie?🙄

🌞On His Knees✨

I really have nothing proper to say about this 🙂 You guys voted for Elucien (this pose was originally for Dean and Allie!).

I hope Lucien is a Grade A+++ yearner in the upcoming ACOTAR books.

Hope you like!

From tangled sheets to training rings ❤️‍🔥 Gwyn and Azriel are sated, satisfied and ready to burn off some extra energy in the ring (cue the shadows helping out 👀)

Happy @gwynrielweeksofficial 🩵 artoffrostandflame strikes once again with a hot commission of Gwyn and Azriel and it was such a fun process working on this!!

[cyrastory]

I’ll never get over this art.

Happy Gwynriel MerMay! 🧜‍♀️💖

What started out as a simple bathroom scene that quickly turned into "let's make this MerMay" to us becoming bathroom designers, thank you @cyrastory for bringing my vision to life! It was such a pleasure working on this with you

Read the fic here on AO3!

Summary: Azriel is a lighthouse keeper on the Velaris coast and after one brutal storm he spots something stranded along the cliffside. Turns out that that something is a someone -- a mermaid to be exact. He nurses her back to health in his tub and makes a connection he never saw coming.

[cyrastory]

I LOVED working on this piece!! So fun!
