I'm at a point where I'm so certain of elriel endgame I am simply no longer concerned about negativity from other parts of the fandom. I'm just enjoying rereading acotar and consuming elriel fanart and patiently waiting for new breadcrumbs.
We know Azriel can be self-conscious about his scarred hands, so for today I wanted to imagine him initiating a soft caress with those very hands, and Elain not balking one bit, happy to feel his touch. 💙🩷
Before there was "blatant, unrestricted touching", Elain and Azriel shared many quiet moments alone, walking through the gardens or sitting together in the peace and quiet of nature. Touch is not something Azriel is comfortable with many people, he hides his hands and avoids touching others for fear of seeing their disgust at his scars. However, from the very beginning of their 2.5 years of friendship, Elain never balked from him or his touch. That first day in the Townhouse, when he offered her his arm to show her the garden, Elain took it, looked at his hands and called them beautiful. From that moment on, Azriel kept reaching out, taking every opportunity to seek her touch.
This beautiful, Regency era inspired piece was created by talented artist pinkykei.art (in) who captured the essence of that blooming attraction and tenderness between Elain and Azriel. Thank you for bringing to life the scene stuck in my head.
I think it's actually essential to children's moral development to be exposed to short stories moderately beyond their reading level where a bunch of fucked up shit happens and then instead of offering a moral lesson or any sort of emotional or narrative resolution it just ends.

A softer kind of magic. Let’s explore Elain’s love of baking, cooking, and tending to growing things. From warm kitchens, to flour dusted hands, and blooming gardens, Elain has mastered the quiet spellwork of creating something with care.
