Lucien's Variants

I just wanted to share some of the characters that make me think about Lucien, just as I did for Vassa

- Dimitri (Anastasia 1997)
- Ivan Tsarevitch (Ivan, the Grey Wolf and the Firebird Russian Folktale)
- Lumiere (Beauty and the Beast 1991)
- James Alexander Malcolm MacKenzie 'Jamie' Fraser (Outlander, this one is totally on Sarah)
- Theon Greyjoy (A Song of Ice and Fire by G. R. R. Martin)
- Maedhros (The Silmarillion by J. R. R. Tolkien)
- Robbin Hood (Robbin Hood 1973)
- Lleu Llaw Gyffes/Lugh (Welsh and Irish Mythology)

Lucien's art by Morgana0anagrom

This was fun to make, I made a mix between the characters that Lucien reminded me of while reading the books, the characters Sarah said reminded her of Lucien and some characters i have found pins or were referenced in her old Pinterest Board.

There is something about Lucien that makes me think of Dimitri from Anastasia, and this isn't because i put Anastasia for Vassa, because I don't think their relationship, at least the one they have for most of the movie, is a good reflect of their relationship. But because Dimitri is himself very charming, very sly character... which are characteristics that also Lucien have.

Ivan. When i was little i had two books of Russian Faerytales, so I grow up reading about Ivan a Lot, I adored this particular tale, and I can't stop myself from seeing the parallels, or elements from the faerytales involving Ivan with Lucien's own story.

Lumiere is Lucien. Like, Lucien was meant to be the Lumiere for Feyre and Tamlin's beauty and the beast, so he had to be on this.

Jamie is totally Sarah's fault for mentioning back in 2015 that Sam would be the perfect Lucien. Personally I don't see much between the characters per se, but french court Jamie is I feel the closest to Lucien in aspect.

Theon Greyjoy is ... I'm mostly thinking on his relation with Robb, how he regrets not be next to Robb during the Red Wedding, as it reminds me to Lucien's own feelings about having betrayed Tamlin. Also there was this one fan art of Book 1 Theon with long hair that made me think of Lucien... before the words "golden orb" made me think of Mad Eye (my brain is weird)

I think Maedhros serves as inspiration for both, Lucien and later Eris. He is one of my favourite characters from the Tolkien Universe, maybe only second after Galadriel when it comes to elves. Sarah had a lot of fan arts of him pinned on her boards, and I can easily see him as one of the strongest inspirations for the character.

Robin Hood. This is because of the fox aspect, and could have gone totally to Nick from Zootopia... but personally, i see more of Lucien in Robin, as one of the qualities that Lucien most want people to remember him from is Loyalty, and in this aspect, i think Robin suits him better.

Lleu Llaw Gyffes/Lugh They're seen as equivalent between mythology, with both representing Light, which happen to be asociated with Lucien. There was some Pins in the old boards that made reference to this character, and there are some parallels with their stories that make me think that post ACOTAR!Lucien is inspired by these mythological figures.

What do you think? Do you agree with some of those choices? Would you replace some characters? Should we have a game of build your own Lucien's Variants? Let me know!

Hello, Vassien??

But this is interesting to point out, because it's talking about a new romance, and while there are several options to fill this... Why couldn't it be about Vassien? We have already seen since ACOWAR that there is chemistry between them, and that Lucien is clearly interested in Vassa.

What do we think about this?

The Value of Vassa's Time

>Indeed, Vassa still remained inside, chatting with Lucien animatedly. I supposed that if she only had until dawn before turning back into that firebird, she wanted to make every minute count*. Lucien, surprisingly, was chuckling, his shoulders loose and his head angled while he listened. -*ACOWAR CH80

This for me was the moment I started shipping Vassien.

The fact that Feyre mentions how valuable those moments as human must be for Vassa, and how she must want to make every minute count, reframes the scene that is being shown to us, because is not just Vassa and Lucien chatting, it elevates the scene, it gives a lot more meaning, that relaxing chat they are sharing is important, even if it's not about the politics or what is about to happen to the world next, or even how to save her. They're enjoying each other's company and that's the important thing.
