for the wip game: restless

"Let me take her," Cassian offered, scrubbing a hand over the hound's head. Feyre perked up at that, her pout melting away and the restless tap-tap-tapping of her foot against the table's leg pausing as she contorted herself in her chair to turn those big, blue eyes on the male braiding her hair. "I can train the dog and the girl at the same time. Give the poor thing a break from the multiplication tables, Rhysie."

The Night Court was slowly growing on Lucien. It had been clear early on that he was but a guest within its borders, but over the months, he had started to feel a sense of welcome from the others. He wasn't a dumb male. He knew he'd been accepted initially due to his complicated friendship with their High Lady.

There was also the respect of he and Elain's mating bond.

Their rapport had improved dramatically over the months, and his visits were more frequent. He aimed to be a friend to Elain, and they had succeeded in building that. Lately though, there was an electricity, a current that flowed between them that felt like a great deal more.

Lucien hesitated to address it for fear of bruising the connection they already had. But something in him went taut at the thought of resuming any distance from her, worsening with each passing day.

Shaking his head to clear his thoughts, he turned to see Elain’s profile. Her eyes were fixed on the various plants she explained while they walked, but Lucien would be lying if he said he’d learned a thing. He was busy memorizing the cadence of her voice, the shape of her mouth as she spoke. There was very little he didn’t want to learn about Elain, but he should have been doing better at learning her passions in the meantime.

“Lucien?”

Another shake of his head. “I’m sorry. What did you say?”

“I asked if you would be interested in staying for dinner.”

“Of course, although, I would hate to impose on the court. Do you think they would be alright with me staying on short notice?”

“Oh,” she whispered, turning her head to hide the rose dust across her cheeks. “I— I was hoping you would dine with me alone. Maybe on the terrace?”

That made him stop short; as if he could ever deny her. That certain something that had begun crackling between them would never allow it.

“That would be perfect. Thank you for extending the invitation.”

He cursed the formality of his words and voice. It was as if he was accepting an invitation to a political banquet. Elain continued their walk only a couple of steps ahead and was blessedly naive to his internal torture.

“Great. I’ll have it all arranged,” she replied.

This was his opportunity to gloss things over, to remind Elain that he was capable of speaking to a beautiful female without being the equivalent of dry toast. In other contexts, they held discussions about their respective interests, even going as far as to engage in a friendly debate or two. Anytime they entertained plans with a heavy implication of something more intimate; however, Lucien's tongue turned leaden. It wasn't that he didn't want it. It was the exact opposite, and it took years worth of practice in self-restraint to avoid vomiting his desires at her feet.

"That sounds good," he offered, searching his brain for a more personable response. "I won't complain about such wonderful company."

Elain turned over her shoulder, mischief playing at her lips while she eyed him curiously.

"I wouldn't set your expectations too high, you know. It will only set me up to disappoint you."

"You could never."

"You should have higher standards for yourself, Emissary."

Elain threw a wink over her shoulder, and it struck him stupid. The delicate sleeves of her dress slipped to expose the soft, unblemished skin near her neck, and it sent a wave of goose flesh over his skin.

"I think you're making fun of me."

Elain smiled, and his heart threatened to crack one of his ribs. "I think you're quite perceptive."

Lucien wrapped his hand loosely around her bicep, trailing his fingers down until her hand was cradled in his. He turned her gently toward him. With his free hand, he tucked a lock of her golden brown hair behind a pointed ear and dared to run the pad of his thumb along its edge. Elain's throat bobbed at the contact and brought a fresh blush to her cheeks. That familiar sensation expanded in his chest again, and his next words tumbled out without permission.

"And I think—" He paused to swallow against the emotion clogging his throat, laced their fingers together. "—I think I love you."

I know I love you.

Elain didn't balk; only stood there with wide eyes and parted lips while she processed his words. His breath hitched at the feel of her hand against the fabric of his tunic, her fingers tracing the thread work near the stays. The warmth of her skin was a brand over his heart, and he swore he would feel the echo of her touch for days.

"Do you mean it?" she whispered, her voice apprehensive.

Lucien pressed his hand over hers, securing it in place. "I do."

She tucked her bottom lip between her teeth, dropped her eyes to their hands, and met his again. The sun turned her eyes the color of honey and cast an ethereal glow around her head. She was stunning, her words truly did him in.

"I love you, too."

Do you have any headcanons for your a mystery to me? Whatever it is elide and Aelins budding friendship? Or ways lorcan and aelin continue to annoy each other?

Lol okay ignore the fact that I’m a little bad at headcanons

Aelin and Lorcan started a contest of who could get detention more times in one year. Lorcan was in the lead but Aelin punched a football player for making a rude comment to Elide and got three weeks of detention, putting her in the lead.

Elide and Aelin lived together because their parents were close friends and Elide’s family needed a place to stay. The arrangement became permanent and the two grew up together. They were awful to each other for months starting when little Aelin got mad and broke Elide’s ruler in half. Next Elide created hydrochloric acid from chemicals in the garden shed and dissolved Aelin’s favorite dress. They didn’t become friends until a neighborhood kid made fun of them and the pair stole his cat together.

The first time Elide saw Lorcan she choked on her sandwich.

A few cheerleaders made a bet on how long it would take Aelin and Rowan to hook up. To this day, neither Aelin nor Rowan have any knowledge of this bet, but Lorcan put twenty bucks in saying it would take less than a month.

Thanks for the ask darling <3

What can you tell us about Boo movie?

It's super vague lol, basically it's a Halloween fic where they watch a horror movie (shocker, I know) but essentially built around:

“Im never watching a horror movie with you ever again.” / “don't you mean without me?”

“Is this movie just your excuse to hold me when I get scared?”

Cue lots of cute cuddling and intentional scaring and more fluff

This is from the au i started writing last night where Nesta teases Cassian. It is a modern au

It wasn’t like her to not get revenge, and Cassian definitely needed to be reminded who was in charge in their relationship.

Oh another interesting series that I enjoyed was Birthmarked by Caragh OBrien, it's scifi dystopia. I thought it was just a really interesting book and different from what I was reading at the time, though it's been forever since I've read it.

This one I have not heard of! I will have to look into it :D
