Type: Lucien Vanserra x Reader.
Fandom: A Court of Thorns and Roses.
Warnings: None, it's just fluff.
Authors Note: I think I've never written something for Lucien and I love him so much so here's something fluff for my baby. It was a request but the person said they didn't want the ask to be addressed, so, I hope they see this :(( I took so long to do BUT IT'S HERE.
"Can I braid your hair?" Y/N said guilty filing her guts.
It was her fault they argued, her fault because she couldn't keep her damn mouth closed. Lucien had nothing to do with her angriness, nothing to do with anything consuming in her life, but still, she'd thrown it at him.
If the gorgeous male fae on the other side of the bedroom was caught by surprise by the sudden request he didn't make it seem. His steps hushed towards you, and he sat down in front of you, letting out a sigh that seemed to be held for centuries.
The house was empty, just the two of them filling it with their angry words, now silent because of the sudden stop. Not a single soul spoke anything while Y/N's fingers traced Lucien's hair first brushing it and then grabbing two little pieces to make a crown of braids.
She wet her lips, trying to find the right words to say, but she hasn't learned how to apologize, not when she was raised to be rude and strong, someone who won't say sorry, and won't accept it either.
When her fingers stopped and grabbed an elastic to hold the braid still he was about to go but then she laced her arms around his neck and put her face on it, inhaling his scent.
"I'm sorry," her voice barely heard. "I didn't want to fight with you, I was mad, Azriel pissed me off on today's training and I just threw it all on you and-"
She almost said it. Love. For a brief minute, she thought it would slip right out of her mouth and confess her killing feelings for him. It was wrong, she was dirty, he was a completely different person who deserved something much better than her.
"It's ok, my love, I shouldn't have pushed you to this. It's not your fault, not completely." Lucien tried to give her a soft smile but it just looked sad. Yes, it made more damage than he was telling.
"No, it's not ok. Listen, I was the one pushing you, I love you and I don't want us to be like this. I promised myself not to do it again, never throw things at you like you don't have feelings. I know it hurt you more than you're letting me see, and I'm really, truly and completely sorry for-" He cut her with his lips.
She breathed hard, getting caught by surprise with the sudden kiss, but then melt in his mouth faster than she should.
His hand was at the side of her face, cupping it, never letting her go when he broke the contact of their lips. "What did you say, love?"
"You didn't let me finish, I was saying that I'm truly-" Another kiss that pissed her off. "Please, this is harder than you think and I'm finally having the courage to-"
"Before all the things I don't need to hear because of course I forgive you, you said something. What was it?" His bright smile made her blush.
She didn't know what he was talking about, didn't even remember all the things she said, it was in a hush. But then, then it came to her realization that she said the words she didn't mean to. Didn't mean to throw in a moment like this. A sigh left her lips before she hide her face between her hands.
"I told you I love you," she didn't want to see the disgust on his face, not when she knew he wouldn't want to be loved by someone like her.
"Good God, I'd burn this world for you," then a follow of your name. "Now, I'm going to kiss you, and you're going to say it again and again. I've waited so many years to hear this from you."
He took her hands out of her face and kissed her rough and sweet if it's possible. But, actually, everything is possible to Lucien Vanserra.
So this isn’t EVERY interaction between every couple, just the particularly crucial or particularly lovely [though I didn’t add as much from Crown of Midnight because Chaolaena honestly kills me still] - I also skipped Nesryn and Chaol because that just never really seemed real for me. This is nice if you just need a quick serotonin boost on your fave ToG couples :)

Dorian: lately, i’ve been feeling off...
Manon, panicking: let’s have sex
Celaena Sardothien/Aelin Galathynius:
"You're a long way from Rifthold, Captain."
"Rowan."
Rowan Whitethorn:
"Let's go."
"For you, Fireheart. All of it is for you."
Sam Cortland:
"Perhaps if you hadn't been reading all night, you wouldn't be so exhausted."
"I love you."
Dorian Havilliard:
"This is she?"
"Those are words I never thought I'd hear from you."
Chaol Westfall:
"Why do you care for the armies of Adarlan?"
"We will see each other again."
Elide Lochan:
"C-c-cleaning."
"The Faerie Queen of The West."
Lorcan Salvaterre:
"She is dead, you fool, or close enough to it. You can still save other lives."
"You're queen. What's there to vote on?"
Manon Blackbeak:
"Wrong kind of witch."
"We'll see."
Aedion Ashryver:
"Majesty."
"Yes. In this life, and in all others, I will serve you. And Terrasen."

"Sam!"
"Voting on what?"

"Together."
Yrene Towers:
"I brought you some water and bread, too,"
"We're a long way from Innish,"
my 100% brutal and honest reaction to house of sky and breath after finishing it:
that book broke my back, cured my ear infection, cleared my skin, gave me more acne, killed me with a heart attack, revived me with lightning, spit in my face, and slapped me on the ass and said "good game"
and i wouldn't have it any other way
Delia Owens, Where the Crawdads Sing
Listen…it was one thing that Rowan and Aelin were able to read each other’s thoughts so well…it was another that Rhys and Feyre could actually speak to each other in their minds…but how in the flying fuck are Ruhn and Day having sex rn when they are in their mental world place??💀😭
- as another tumblr user has already pointed out: Hunt‘s last line is really concerning, it was something like „and then Hunt knew nothing“ plus the Asteri told him Hunt wouldn’t need the slave crown so the only thing I can imagine is Hunt getting his memories wiped and when Bryce comes back she sees him fighting for the Asteri and I don’t think my heart can take this
- it will be great for the Quinlar tension though not gonna lie
- I don’t know if this has already been pointed out but I think the Angels might have been created by the Asteri. They are their loyal servants and they should keep the other Vanir in check
- ok so I love the gang BUT I have to say that they sometimes acted super stupid like thinking Madoc wouldn’t smell them, or going to that rebel island and showing everyone their faces or going to the Asteri archives and NOT getting suspicious when there is literally NO guard, no one….
- ok so do you think Prythian gang will know about queen Theia? And I also kind of want Bryce to meet the Autumn court just to say something snarky
- so Truth Teller is the second sword, which is really cool and interesting
- because I think Bryce will take both swords back to her world and after she finished whatever she has to do with them she will take Truth Teller back to Azriel and that would be the PERFECT start for Azriel‘s POV book
- soooo I think CC3 will be the next book we are getting and ACOTAR5 will be later, everything else would be confusing, so you could still read Acotar without having to read CC
- I‘m really not sold about the motives the demon princes have, I think Aidas truly loved Theia and would do everything to help Bryce but what about the others? Didn’t Apollion say Bryce and Hunt are his final end bosses? Does he want to invade CC?
- because why would SJM include Ari the dragon when she can kill demons and not angels or Asteri with her fire?
- plus I like it that magical fire is a universal way to kill demons (Queen Aelin did it first)
- I also think Bryce hasn’t accessed her full potential. She said so herself that she can feel her power source but can’t reach it so we still have to get a full power up of her!!!
- I really want to know more about thunderbirds because why would SJM include them when it’s a dead end anyways? There has to be more about it since Bryce and Hunt basically BOTH have the thunderbird ability to suck in energy and reuse it
- I wonder if it was just foreshadowing to that being the ultimate power one would need to destroy the Asteri since they killed all Thunderbirds OR
- if one of the characters we know has Thunderbird blood in them
- I said it before and I say it again, if I don’t get my girl Aelin in a CC book I will riot!
- ok so I had another thought and question, how do we define the different worlds?! Are they different dimensions/universes (I think that’s what they told us in TOG) or are they just different planets? In CC both terms got used
- I really really like Baxian, I will protect him and I hope he gets the love and affection he deserves
- sooo Ithan and the Fendyr Alpha, huh?
- since she is a mysthic I am positive that she will help guide Bryce through the worlds at one point
- I still know nothing about Jesiba, I wanna know so bad who or what she really is and why she keeps helping Bryce
- I sometimes wondered if the Viper Queen might be a Valg? Since she could control Tharion and it gave me major Dorian flashbacks
- Tharion… boy I love you but what went through your brain when you offered yourself to the viper queen?!
- So does ANYONE know how many books will be in the CC series? Because I feel like 3 books isn‘t really a lot time to overthrow a whole government of Asteri, even if Hel should help (and I think that not all of the Hel princes would simply help Bryce and then return happily to their world)
- I still think about the orcale and Rhun a lot, why would the royal bloodline end with him?! If Bryce should become queen (which I actually don’t think will happen) the royal bloodline didn’t end
- so I think ultimately CC will establish some kind of democratic government, I don’t see how kings and queens would fit in there without the Asteri tbh
- Cormac dying was kind of sad since I felt like he had a lot of potential
- do you think we will see the Avallen territory? It’s kind of still a mystery and I feel like they might hide something
- ok so that’s it for now lol
Flynn and Ariadne giving me Nessian vibes

enjoy some memes i made for the crave series
