I Absolutely Love This!!! 💕💕💕

I agree, I also think Elain is going to end up in Day Court, regardless of her relationship with Lucien.

And gods am I looking forward to it. I love Night Court, but I really want SJM to explore the other courts! I want more lore!!

I agree with the linked TikTok below. I've previously thought Elain will end up in the Day Court to learn more about her Seer powers and that lines up well with Lucien ending up there to learn about his heritage / powers too.

In Greek mythology, Helios is known as the god of the sun, and while he wasn't explicitly named the god of sight, his role as the sun god and his ability to see everything from his chariot were associated with the gift of sight. He was also considered omniscient, able to observe anything anywhere.

I didn’t care how Helion had found me. Why he’d found me.

He’d just reached Elain’s tent when Helion sent word he’d found me. Using whatever gift he possessed that allowed him to sense such things. And was bringing me back. Vague, brief details.

Lucien had tracked it down—

“I don’t need one. I travel faster on my own.” His chin lifted. “I will find her. And if there’s an army to bring back, or at least some way for her own story to sway the human forces … I’ll find a way to do that, too.”

Lucien’s scarred, handsome face appeared, his golden eye whirring. “I thought I sensed someone else arriving.”

I also hate this theory sooo damn much. Gwyn's grandaddy likely just a sentry or noble that lives in the Forest House and is nobody special, and her daddy is some rando who went to Sangravah to get laid and is also a nobody.

I'll be surprised if SJM even gives a name or background to either of them. But I don't think they're important to Gwyn's story and growth and they will remain nameless, just like Papa Acheron.

do you think there's any chance Gwyn is related to the Vanserras?

and IF SO how do you think each of the brothers would take the news?

OH I am finally, FINALLY given the chance to be a hater on main THANK YOU my god I wholeheartedly hate this theory. I think it's ridiculous and given SJM's track record, she most likely threw in that Autumn Court heritage line and immediately proceeded to forget about it. In the classic SJM fashion, we now have a shitty throwaway scrap which booktok has turned into Eris VanGrandfather, Lucien VanFather/Cousin/Brother, Beron Van[insert your favorite family relation here], effectively leaving us with the VanSweetHomeAlabama verse.

I consider it MerMay month. 😊

I’ve been in this fandom for ten years, let me enjoy ACOTAR anniversary month with all the amazing arts. We don’t care if it’s your ships month rn and best believe when the Elucien/gwynriel book is announced in a few days that we will all be posting about it.

Gwyn & Azriel are just reverse Nesta & Cassian.

Gwyn matches Cassian's energy as well as Azriel matches Nesta's, would not work as lovers, would work as friend.

Blue x Red trope

hear me out: eris goads beron into extending autumn's territory into spring because tamlin is oh so vulnerable and then sends tamlin the info himself. tamlin rips beron apart and then. tamris.

I'm picking up what you're putting down, Anon. I think every Vanserra deserves the magical experience of being knotted at least once in their life

I'm just here for all the wonderful art, book talk and game talk!

Not enough of my favorite artists are on Bluesky yet and I won't touch Twitter or Instagram with a ten foot pole. Pinterest got destroyed by the onslaught of AI slop, so that's left Tumblr, which still seems fairly decent.

I'll be reblogging art, game and book stuff from time to time.

I'll jump aboard the Lets-Get-Tamlin-A-Ladyfriend-Who-Will-Wear-That-Ring ship. 😊 Maybe for a future fic??? 👀

I love Elain being assertive and telling Lucien she she wants. 💕 Also loved her exploring his room. I always imaged he'd have a cozy and warm bedroom.

This screams "Mating Behavior" from Solon and I am soooo into it.

I hope I'm right and they're not actually related. 😭
