What Was I Made For? by HopeForMonday

Summary
Elain’s role as a seer was ironic. Since becoming fae, she did not want to think about more than a month at a time, let alone dream of her future.
This feeling was one of the many reasons why she could not bear to be around her mate. Because Elain knew once she took any sort of interest in knowing Lucien, there was no going back. With Lucien came many truths she would have to face. She would have to come to terms with her ability as a seer. They would have to unravel their complex feelings that clearly made them both feel ill at ease. And she would have to accept that she was no longer human.
More than romance or the mating bond, Elain needed a purpose.
(But don’t worry, there will be romance.)
Or, Elain is ready for a change and finds it by planning a Summer Solstice Celebration in Velaris.

Summary
Sequel to “What Was I Made For?”
Lucien felt lifeless and restless all at once as he itched to winnow back to Velaris. He knew that Elain had a vision and it had scared her, but he couldn’t possibly go to her. Because acting on instinct often bit him in the ass… or got his face rearranged.
And despite the seeds of hope she had left for him over the past few months, these seeds are by no means an invitation. She ran away from him while they were dancing, and while he didn’t know why she rejected him right then, it was still a rejection.
Despite his wretched state, a delicate ember of hope remained. Because there was no other choice but to tend to it.

The Softness of Flames by Goosey_Jossip

Summary
Everyone always said the Cauldron loved Elain. As it turns out, it loved her so much it stole her heart.
And now it is up to her – and Lucien, the mate she never asked for – to get it back.
Set in late summer after the events of A Court of Silver Flames, Elain and Lucien travel together across Prythian to the Mortal Realm, through Spring Court and finally to Day. But when getting a heart back entails so many risks, is it even really what Elain wants?
This is a story of healing and redemption, the importance of choices, and power beyond magic or brute strength - the kind of power it takes to be joyful and gentle in a cruel world.
“Yes there is the mating bond, Elain. But… there is also my heart.”

Summary
Lucien was more than content with his life in the human lands. He had adapted to a new home, new friends, and a new job for the Night Court. Things were great until Feyre decided he had ignored his obligations long enough: It was time to deal with his alleged Mate.
For one month, Lucien has to stay in Velaris and get to know the sweet, boring Elain so he can get back to his mate free existence- and his grief over Jesminda- in the Human Lands. How hard could that be?
