Author's Notes: Yes, in case you had any doubts, Lucien is my second favourite character from ACOTAR (after Rhysand, of course) and I really hope that he can find love by the time the series ends. It might not be with Elain, but whoever is out there waiting for him, I want her to be the ONE for my auburn-haired boy.
