I’m sorry but this “four books of buildup” shit will never fail to make me laugh.

If you’re gonna use that argument, the only couple that this actually, legitimately and canonically applies to, is Elucien.

“There’s sunshine at the night court” is the acotar fandom equivalent of “we’ve got food at home”

Ever since Sarah admitted she listens to the sound track of KPDH on repeat I can’t get the thought out of my head of Gwyn and Azriel singing Free omggg likeee

“So take my hand it’s open”

“What if we heal what’s broken”

HELLOOOOO IF AZ AND GWYN DONT SING TOGETHER…..

Sort of. "I forgot something," he reminded her.  

"At two in the morning?"  

Pure amusement glittered in her stare. Better than the pain and grief he'd spied a moment before. So he offered her a crooked smile. "I can't sleep without my favorite dagger."

"A comfort to every growing child."  

If ACOTAR6 is taking place around the time Bryce stole Truth-teller, then I better get a scene of a grumpy Azriel taking his frustrations out in the ring or showing up at the ring while Gwyn is there, and then we get a callback to this scene and Gwyn teases Azriel again about not being able to sleep without Truth-teller Lol.

a friend of mine told that if azriel had invaded the rite he would've gone straight to gwyn without thinking twice and now i'm devastated thinking about it

It's been good to see such positivity in our tags again, while I will say wait for the official book to celebrate ... the books aren't far off, I understand the excitement and in the spirit of that here is a repost of one of my favourite Gwynriel commissions which is so well loved that Elriels have tried stealing it several times now.

I think we are almost there guys, not long before we have our Songbird and her shadowsinger's story !!!!

Elain thinks Lucien is hot. Pass it on.

[anyetta]

"Lucien,” Elain said at last, and he clenched his teacup to keep from shuddering at the sound of his name on her mouth.

Kill me. Genuinely. It would be far less painful.

I wanted to commission a piece showing Elain and Lucien being separated by circumstances, but still tied together by fate. With Lucien stationed at the Spring Court and Elain still staying at the Night Court, I wanted to leave little Easter eggs for both courts.

@jacqueillustrates absolutely killed it. She created these house insignia’s for each court’s bedsheets. The Night Court got the mountain with the stars, and the Spring Court got the roses and thorns. Then in the middle where they meet is tied together with the mate bond.

Thank you so much @jacqueillustrates for creating this extraordinary art! Of course it turned out even more beautiful than I imagined! I’m completely mesmerized by it 💗💗

I'm excited that in the podcast Sarah did in fact confirm that Elain considers Lucien her enemy and did confirm them as mates. And for anyone who claimed that Lucien was suspicious and couldn't be trusted? That his actions when trying to take Feyre back to Tamlin and allying with Hybern made him the bad guy? That there's a reason he's known as a fox? I guess that just makes him morally gray.

Fated Mates / Soulmates / Morally Grey / Enemies to Lovers

Would you look at that? No forbidden lovers.

And chances are that if this is a shared pov, Gwynriel is going to be confirmed as mates too as Az still needs one and the trope says Sarah is not going a different route anytime soon.

[lplusl]

No forbidden love? No love triangle? Fated mates?!??

Yeah. Elucien/Gwynriel are coming home!!!!
