also I am pretty sure it’s going to bite us in the ass but Az giving the necklace to be re-gifted was his way of throwing it in the river. do not overthink it.

I don’t think we’re actually aware of just how much Azriel has been pining for Elain. In his BC he says he’s been looking at her present every night for a YEAR. That means thinking about her daily, imagining her/them together, searching her out, trying to touch her even for a second, making up trivialities to be able to talk to her, listening to her plans patiently, seeing her in every plant, in every color, in every person, in every sound…. For a year. And the feeling grows the more time you spend with the other person. But they want to convince you they’re not romantic.

ELRIELLLL

And I think Elain—Elain would like it, too. Though she’d probably cling to Azriel, just to have some peace and quiet.”I smiled at the thought—at how handsome they would be together.🥀🦇

Can we talk about how this scene is one of the clearest comparisons between Azriel and Lucien when it comes to Elain?

Lucien immediately assumes that Elain needs something, asking if there's anything they should do for her. Azriel, on the other hand, instantly understands that she isn't broken or mad. He makes it clear that she doesn't need saving, they need her. She's a Seer.

Right after that, Lucien is described as looking at Elain almost as if he's seeing her for the first time, shocked by this revelation. Meanwhile, Azriel is explicitly described as the only one who listened to her, the male who could hear things others could not and who understood what she was going through.

And to make the contrast even stronger, when the possibility that the Cauldron gave something to Elain is brought up, Lucien is once again stunned, while Azriel simply nods, already understanding.He's the one who recognizes her gift, validates her experiences, and helps everyone else understand her as well. And Feyre even notes that this understanding, their understanding, is what finally frees Elain from that "murky realm" she had been trapped in.

It's such an interesting parallel because, in this scene, Lucien sees someone who needs help, while Azriel sees who Elain truly is.

“I think Azriel and Elain are going to be friends!”

…same… 😌

[mandirox89]

Yes.. such good friends

[simplysimple-blep]

“…while shadows gathered around Azriel, Elain at his side, wide-eyed at the spymaster’s display.”

I love this. They’re so cute.

“Then Azriel, gently taking Elain’s hand in his own, as if afraid his scars would hurt her.”

elain and azriel as romeo and juliet - moodboard

"such terrible things that it was a sacrilege for his fingers to touch her skin, tainting her with his presence" (bc, acosf)

"ROMEO, [taking juliet’s hand] if i profane with my unworthiest hand / this holy shrine, the gentle sin is this: / my lips, two blushing pilgrims, ready stand / to smooth that rough touch with a tender kiss" (romeo and juliet)
