Summary
Come one, come all, it's happening again…Elain and Azriel have been married for ten years. Koschei is defeated, their family is at peace. And if she feels a hollow ache of something every once in a while, that’s just the price one pays for love and duty.
Until she comes home one day to the news that her husband has a mating bond of his own.
OR: I listened to nothing but The Tortured Poets Department for over a month and had a lot of angst to release.

Summary
“And who was I to say
That this was meant to be?
The road that was broken
Brought us together“Elain couldn’t help her slight guffaw even as she tried to hang on to her annoyance. “You can’t just decide to be my best friend.”
He leaned back on his arms nonchalantly, “Too bad. I just did.”
Elain and Lucien decide to ignore the mating bond and work on being friends. But the more they’re together the more they want to be. Can they move past who they were to discover what they could become?

Summary
Post Book 4 with brief mentions of things that could be spoilerish if you haven't read it. I remain convinced that something is going to need to happen with the three sisters to wrap up ACOTAR.
Feyre decides that she needs to put more effort into improving her relationship with Nesta and Elain. Snacks, Talking, and Giggling ensue.
It's a Sister Sleepover fic people. Cue the Cyndi Lauper or the Velaris equivalent.

Summary
Elain Archeron has always been seen as something delicate—too soft, too quiet, too breakable. But she knows better. There is rot beneath the beauty, shadows beneath the bloom. And now, there is a voice whispering in her mind, curling around her like smoke, coaxing her toward something she does not understand. She is losing herself, slipping between dreams and waking nightmares. And this time, she is not sure she wants to be found.
Meanwhile, Lucien Vanserra has spent his life surviving—trapped between courts, between loyalties, between truths he never asked for. For years, he has waited, patient as only a fox can be. But patience is a cruel thing when it leaves you empty-handed. When it leaves you watching the one thing you have always longed for slip through your fingers like autumn leaves on the wind.
This is a story of longing and loss, of haunted nights and golden mornings. A story of fate and choice, of bonds and broken things. A love story, tangled in the threads of a gothic dream.
Because even the softest light can cast the darkest shadows.
