Welcome to Elain Archeron Appreciation Week, 2024!
🌸 Elain Archeron Week 2025 announcement 🌸
We are so excited to be back for another year and cannot wait to celebrate our favourite flower fairy!
First off, a little housekeeping. We will announce the week on our old (now main) blog to be safe, but for ease of managing the event we have created a new space. We're sorry for the run around, and suggest following this new blog going forward.
Please tag this account - @elainarcheronweek - when posting your art, fics and theories etc so that we don't miss anything.
We are also on Instagram and Twitter.
This week is for every fan of Elain Archeron to foster positivity about her character; we ask that everyone remain kind while participating.
The Prompts

🌸 Day 1: Visions
We know Elain was gifted tremendous powers by the Cauldron. Today, let's dive into her Seer powers and how she has utilised her gifts this far, or how they might manifest even more in the future.

🌸 Day 2: Hope
Today is all about hopes- both Elain's and our own. We know that Elain looked at their old cottage with hope. What other ways has Elain shown her hopefulness? Or what do you maybe hope for in Elain's future story?

🌸 Day 3: Strength
Elain may be soft, but she isn't a pushover. From killing the King of Hybern to "I hope they all burn in hell," Elain has proven she can more than hold her own. Today is the day to showcase her too-often- overlooked strength.

🌸 Day 4: Home
What is 'home?' Is it a place? A person? A feeling? Today's the day to think about Elain's home. Use this prompt to explore her domestic side, or perhaps showcase what person, place, or things you think would make her feel most at home.
Elain is known for her kindness and care toward her family and friends. Today, we explore the various connections she has built, whether it be with friends, family, or potential romantic partners.

🌸 Day 6: Passions
For this prompt, let's celebrate what Elain is passionate about. This prompt may include her hobbies like gardening and baking, or maybe other pastimes you might imagine she'd enjoy.

🌸 Day 7: Growth
Today is all about Elain's growth. Maybe you want to focus on what she's grown in her garden or how she's grown as a character so far. Or, you might use today as a free day, to imagine all the ways she could grow in the future.

Elain and Azriel have the potential to be one of the best romances in the ACOTAR series. From the forbidden aspect to the sensual touches they have already given each other, they are set up to be the best kind of slow burn and I am here for it. I cannot wait to see their relationship develop in Elain’s book. 💐💖
Happy @elainarcheronweek! I'm so excited to have these all finally ready for their last edit! I'm doing things a little different for this week by avoiding any ships to allow my writing to focus on my favorite Archeron sister, Elain. Elain is for the girls who were told we'd never see ourselves in fantasy novels because we weren't the traditional vision of tough. We were too soft, too much of a homemaker. I wanted my fics this week to focus on that.
Ps - I heavily explored my favorite headcanon of bat boys to Archeron sisters "brother/sister/best friend" relationships.
Day 1 Visions -
Fields of Poppy
After being left at your doorsteps by Rhysand, Elain begins to train her visions in ways she had hardly expected

Day 2 Hope -
To Keep You From Breaking
When darkness feels as though it is approaching, Elain’s hope begins to spread to the Inner Circle through her small acts of kindness
Elain x Inner Circle, Lucien, and Eris (Platonic)
Day 3 Strength -
Femme Not Fragile
Warrior was a title Elain never wanted to earn, but there are times when power can be more than brute muscle
Elain x Rhysand (Platonic)
Day 4 Home -
Hiraeth (Elain's Version)
(If you've been here a while, you may recognize this word from another fic 👀)
Longing for home brings Elain to search for happiness in places she least expects it
Elain x Nuala and Cerridwen (Platonic Friendship)
Day 5 Connections -
When Our Hearts Sync
Nesta. Elain. Feyre. The middle Archeron sisters assumed it would always be the three of them against the world. That is, until she found sisterhood somewhere else.

Day 6 Passion -
Blooms and Blossoms
The building was perfect, bones ready for a new owner and beginning. Now Elain just had to convince Rhysand to let her have it.

Day 7 Growth -
What Else Can I Do?
Elain's gentleness may have been her biggest hang up, and one moment of anger may prove to be the turning point in which Sister is the strongest.
Elain has been through so much and already grown a lot behind the scenes to overcome her trauma. But one thing I look forward to reading is her growing confidence and standing up for herself. She has this interesting plot where she has to learn to voice and fight for what she wants, whether that’s being a part of the decisions made by the Inner Circle or who she gets to love. Elain’s choice is the central point for book and I cannot wait to see her blossom into this strong, confident female. 💐💖
“Elain had squared her shoulders and declared that she was a part of this court—and would do whatever was needed.”
Home for Elain is within the Night Court. Those are her words and that is canon. Do I see her traveling? Of course! Elain has a sense of adventure and we know she wants to explore. But her home is where her friends, Nuala and Cerridwen, are. Where her sisters’ and her nephew are. And, where Azriel is. Elain’s home is with her loved ones in the Night Court. 💖💐
One of my favorite things about Elain is that she always looks for the good, the positive. She has this special, beautiful heart that aches to bring joy and happiness to people. After the war, after killing the King of Hybern, she looks out at the world, which continuously proves is dark, and says, “I want to build a garden. I think the world could use more gardens.” Bringing beauty and light to the world is her way of bringing hope, and that is truly powerful. 💖💐
I cannot wait to explore the all powerful Seer, Elain Archeron. Her book might end up being my favorite of the series. She is so different from the other characters and has this insane power that opens a world of possibilities. There is so much depth to her and I look forward to reading her story. 💐💖
