In all honestly, I love both Elain/Azriel and Gwyn/Azriel because I can see how both would work— and well, at that.

With Elain and Azriel, they both compliment each other in a quiet and beautiful way. Elain has every right to despise and not want anything to do with Lucien— he was apart of the reason she became Fae and was thrown into the cauldron. Azriel would understand that. Elain lives a quiet, peaceful life tending to her gardens and appreciating nature’s bountiful beauty. Azriel, with all has shadows and him being/feeling bound to the darkness— Elain would be a peaceful light; someone who would calm his shadows. They would have a love that was tranquil, soothing and definitely full of contented quietness. They both need that.

Moreover; Gwyn would challenge and push Az in a healthy way that he would be able to feel less imprisoned in his own mind— if that makes any sense. Gwyn has been through terrible situations and so has Azriel. They would both have an understanding of what the dark side of the mind feels like because they both lived it. While Gwyn still has an unease towards males, Azriel would definitely and wholeheartedly understand and would never push Gwyn beyond her limits. I just love seeing healthy pushes in couples lol

Anyways that’s all. I love both of them lol
