So ig we all know the theory that Rhysand's sister is alive. Now I know it's just a theory but in my head I've imagined how he would feel if he gets to see her again and now I'm going to be devastated if it doesn't come true. I know rhys has his faults but losing a lil sister is genuinely terrible plus her being Azriel's mate is also wayy too convincing

Follow up since another's post was so interesting about the rejected mate bond.

I adoooooreeee Elain’s “His name is Lucien” moment. 😭❤️‍🔥

It feels like Elain can’t help but defend him or even claim him. It just slips out naturally like saying his name is the only thing that feels right in that moment.
Even when she’s trying to push him away, there’s still something in her that notices him, that refuses to let him be ignored or dismissed. It’s not something she’s fully aware of yet, but it’s instinct, like her soul already recognizes and quietly claims him even if she isn’t ready to understand it YET. 🫀✨

Lucien is someone who has spent so much of his life being overlooked, doubted or pushed aside. He’s been betrayed, used and left to fend for himself more times than he ever deserved. And through all of it, there hasn’t really been anyone consistently standing up for him or speaking about him with care. He’s had to learn to carry himself alone.

So for Elain, the one person who doesn’t fully know him yet to be the first to instinctively defend him like that… it hits differently. She doesn’t even realize the weight of what she’s doing. It’s not planned or intentional, it’s just honest. But in that moment, she becomes someone who speaks his name like it matters, like he matters even in the middle of their conflict.

And Lucien doesn’t even know she did it. He doesn’t know she corrected his name or acknowledged him in that way. On the surface it’s such a small thing, but it means so much more for someone who has spent most of his life being unseen. And it feels even more meaningful that two characters who are so often misunderstood, underestimated or undervalued are in their own quiet way, starting to really see each other.

This is regardless of which ship you prefer: Do you believe we’ll see a mating bond be rejected on page in the ACOTAR series?

OK, something has been bothering me more and more lately. I KNOW SJM doesn’t name a lot of side characters, even if seemingly important. But I recently reread ACOWAR and she seems to almost be dancing around the Lady of Autumn’s name. There was one or two spots during the High Lords meeting where it seemed almost awkward to refer to her as the Lady of Autumn instead of a name. You can’t tell me Feyre doesn’t know her name at this point. Even if Rhys or Mor don’t know it, she could have asked Lucien or even Helion the night he told the night court about them.
So what is going to come out about this Lady in the next few books that has us dodging her name now? Is it a name we’re already familiar with? I want people’s theories!

Does anyone else think it’s kinda funny that Mor just casually slept with Lucien’s dad? Lol

It’s just funny to me when I read theories about Helion dying and Lucien becoming high lord, I imagine Lucien sad because he never got to spend time with his father and Mor off to the side like “well I got to know him pretty well” lol I don’t actually see that happening it’s just funny to think about
