Oh, you've never smoked before? That's okay, I can help. Just keep your lips pressed here, inhale, and blow. Wasn't that fun, baby? God, you look so pretty in this outfit too, I just can't keep my eyes off of you. Let me blow some smoke into your mouth, I promise you'll like it. Doesn't it feel good to have my soft lips pressed against yours while your lungs expand and your mind starts to fade? Come sit on my lap and spread your legs for me. I want to feel you bury your face in my chest as I ruin every ounce of that lovely innocence with which you came. My body is all you need now, baby. Just let go

rather than attempt to ramble in the comments i decided to just reblog and yap my thoughts at you

spring court / prima nocta - oooh yes! i think i remember fae children/pregnancy being rare so maybe they notice an uptick in birthrate after this starts being enacted again so by association the court just assumes this is why? like its an honor to the couple and high lord but also the Mother or Cauldron or whatever. and this is the first time its come to a point where its a more scandalous relation but the court isn't batting an eye? like why wouldn't you do it - you want a higher fertility rate and a blessed marriage right?

winter court & the sisters - oh god can you imagine? before all of this, lumi just wandering in, full on curling up in someones lap? everyone just learning not to bat an eye at it either. they just keep going about their days like its perfectly normal - and maybe the city gossiped about it at first and now its just... another day? i could see wilder being so grumbly about it after he and naia are mated though. demands everyone deposit his mate into his arms to keep warm as soon as possible.

and to sort of go off your ideas...

okay to expand upon your ancient/fae (amren/varian) above - after all our little chaos children are mostly settled, we could always say hybern (or one of the courts or someone from the continent) is starting to stir trouble. maybe the cauldron goes missing and similar to the books, they start using it to try and make more fae for an army and they're kidnapping humans to try and do so? we could toss some made-fae into the mix and also give ourselves a little conflict/war.

another ancient being formerly kept in the prison but escaped or released upon making a deal with one of the high lords for their skill set, bound in fae form at some point down the line. happens to recognizes a fae they claim to be their lover but it's really a reincarnated doppleganger? they watched their lover be killed hundreds of years ago so now this is like a second chance? 100% obsessive/possessive and probably comes on a little too strong but this fae is encouraged to nurture the relationship because this ancient being would be a great ally in the war?

to expand on the cauldron/mother as teaching lessons and/or cursing fae with their mated pairings based on the whole naia/lumi/wilder/roan dynamic given they had "mates" and then "true mates" - maybe a woman cheated on her mate (which is like a big taboo/no-no?) and there were "warnings" against her continuing to do so, but she didn't listen and then her two children (half-siblings?) end up being mated together as her divine punishment of sorts?

an azriel / elain sort of ship. murdery / nontalkative one paired with the small soft one?

adding more to holidays in the courts for funsies...

maybe in the autumn court they have a big celebration the night of their harvest and part of it is like a 'hunt' where single fae divide themselves into two groups (hunters vs. prey or whatever) and basically chase each other through the woods in hopes of finding a mate (and just banging whoever they want if they dont find their mate)

Okay and to add onto this because i slept on it and got more ideas...

rowan and dahlias kid being mated to one of their half siblings / aunts / uncles for the messy family drama?

opposite to the winter court, members of the autumn court running naturally warm so outfits are more revealing and they shed layers whenever possible.

what if someone strikes a deal (tattoo/reminder appearing somewhere visible) centuries ago and that keeps them from recognizing the mate bond? alternatively what if instead of a mate bond taking place, they make a deal with their chosen partner to be together?

also a human/mate pairing - where the fae has an inkling that the human might be their mate but isn't 100% certain because the bond is so faint

FC wise...

picturing a Stephan kalyn fc as a summer court sailor for some reason and I can't unsee it? A playboy whose traveled all the courts sorta deal

acotar verse ideas ––– for exploring outside of the night court 👀 ( @silkscandal )

spring court

spring generally speaking is obviously associated with fertility and rebirth and all that — obviously with holidays and traditions like calanmai shown in the series. but what if they also had something like prima nocta : where the ruler ( in this case, high lord ) has the right to sleep with any bride on her wedding night. perhaps casual when it was first enacted, but it has become more of an expectation, seen as a blessing of the union, perhaps even helping to increase the newly married couple's chances of pregnancy. so now, for the sake of the court, it happens for every wedding. and there are no exceptions 👀 ( if u know what i mean… )

winter court

after talking about lumi and naia, idk why my mind went to winter and like … even if they are well adept with magic to keep the cold out, there's still a lowered sense of shame or limitation around use of body heat to keep warm? no matter the connection between people. which leads to some interesting entanglements…

any court / nonspecific

a ship inspired by amren x varian ––– one of them is this legendary being from another world, terrifying to even the most power high fae. the other is from a different court, and they only cross paths when there's some turmoil / impending war / whatever. the scary one eventually sort of dying and being remade into high fae and their mating bond maybe clicks into place??

more to come…
