This beautiful fanart captures the way I've pictured how Elain became the home that Azriel — a tired soldier with a haunting past — will always return to. She is his comfort, peace, and the light that complements his darkness in the most admirable manner.

And set in a romantic wedding aesthetic, Azriel adorns Elain's finger with a beautiful ring that was made of love, and for love and beauty, Elain should wed.

@batboys-art A special thanks for Sarah, for being generous to host a giveaway months ago, which I was lucky enough to win. Working with you can only be defined as enjoyable, professional, and amazing! Thank you so much for all the love that you poured into this piece! 🥰

More Thoughts From My Husband in ACOWAR

Follow-up to this post

He just finished reading the scenes where Azriel saved Elain and gave her Truth Teller.

"There was no pushback about Azriel going on a suicide mission to save Elain...even though he's one of the most essential warriors...and it's right before a massive battle where he's needed."

"The group had this whole cost benefit analysis discussion that made it seem like not everyone was worth saving...some of them would've left Briar behind. But they saw the value of saving Elain." It's almost like...she's integral to the future of the story and has an important place within the IC, and not just as Feyre's sister.

"Azzy boy gave Elain Truth Teller and then told her she wouldn't need it? [Laughs] He's still going to find a way to protect her even if he's injured. He's obviously into her."

"If it was just platonic, why not give Truth Teller to Nesta? Or Feyre? Like if it didn't mean anything, then why did he give it to Elain specifically?" Indeed.

"I know that Cassian and Nesta will obviously end up together, but I think the author has done even more to set up Elain and Azriel. There has been so much in this book to connect those two together, from him realizing she's a Seer to the rescue scene to giving her Truth Teller."

Bonus: I asked him what's on the cover of the book.

"Um, Truth Teller, shadows, and Elain's flowers?"

When I told him some people don't think it's Truth Teller, he said: "Is there definitive proof that it's Truth Teller? No. But a reasonable person would assume that it is because that was such a pinnacle scene in the book."

Stay tuned for more after he finishes the book. 🩷🩵

Go smart husband!!!!!

Acomaf:

Isn’t that what all human women wish for? A handsome faerie lord to wed and shower them with riches for the rest of their lives?”

I gripped the reins of my horse hard enough that she tossed her head. “Good to know you’re still a prick, Lucien.”

His metal eye narrowed. “Tamlin is a High Lord. You will be his wife. There are traditions and expectations you must uphold.

Acofas:

But Azriel only took Elain’s heavy dish of potatoes from her hands, his voice soft as night as he said, “Sit. I’ll take care of it.”

I still remember how you all acted after CHD. 😗 So that fake confidence is not doing much for me.

And having a mole in your groupchat only makes it funnier. 😌🫶

[lady-surieldown]

Thank you!!! They think we all forgot how they were PANICKING after the podcast and then took them 2 days to go back to mass delusion bc they managed to gaslight each other into thinking they didn't actually hear what they heard 🤣

"sjm is lying, she's a vibes author, she said Lulu's hot, she's just keeping Gw/n under wraps, it's multi pov so it's not Elain's book". The absolute bullshit we've all had to read since then lmfao

It's truly fascinating from a psychological perspective.

[nicawritesandwhines]

I mean this with all respect possible, but how can you read all ACotar books and be surprise about all SJM said in the podcast?!? It’s nothing new, she wrote it all in the books!

Booktok makes me scared of people’s reading comprehension…

[elrielffs]

Azriel and Elain being uncultured at the clerb.

They do body shots off each other.

At a Party with the Cultured High Fae:

At the Pleasure Hall with the Illyrian Bastard:

[dietkoke]

So much easier to just say you’re racist and classist. “L*cien comes across as a bit more cultured to me” girl what the actual fuck 💀

To say the high fae male is “more cultured” than the male who is literally considered “lesser” in the ACOTAR universe is actually crazy! Illyrians are literally called barbaric and you’re sitting here basically agreeing with that!

You’re not better than that booksnwriting freak! You’re all freaks!

[lady-surieldown]

Are we surprised miss "forced marriage is romantic" also has shit takes like this lol

[livywoohoo]

Things are getting serious 👀 I can't believe we're about to get an Elriel book.

[shadowedpetals]

“So Azriel singing for Elain won’t be cringe?”

Girl, what made you think your ship and ours are on the same level?

[elrieluniverse]

Elain looked up at Azriel, their eyes meeting, his hand still lingering on the hilt of the blade. I saw the painting in my mind: the lovely fawn, blooming spring vibrant behind her. Standing before death, shadows and terrors lurking over his shoulder. Light and Dark, the space between their bodies a blend of the two. The only bridge of connection…that knife.

[nikethestatue]

Anyway....

Elriel is still endgame.

Nothing will change that, no matter how they try.

[allergictononsense]

as per tradition, there is no indication in the text that elain is to be friends with lucien’s future fuck buddy slash love interest nor the eyeball guy. free us from your grade D fanfics. 🙏

[allergictononsense]

“they act as if their ship is already confirmed.”

…..it is.

[mabevil]

i haven’t had a care in the world since the CHD podcast and 🩷💙, everything that’s come since has just been the sprinkles on top of my delicious elriel endgame cake

[gardenofsight]

Some people are so pressed that Elain is associated with roses. 🫢

[shadowedpetals]

Azriel to Elain:

"It doesn’t matter that you are a gardener—my only belief is that flowers bloom whenever you walk by."

And if I said Elain and Azriel have the potential to be SJMs best couple period? The way this man has a PHD in yearnalism and is down bad for Elain and how Elain is bolder around this man and gives him peace…TOP TIER!!!🔥
