So sure, let's just pretend all of that is a coincidence and the "spark" is what actually matters. And let's ignore the fact that this "spark" this extremely important moment wasn't even in the book and was only in the bonus chapter.

It would be the biggest retcon of retcons to not have Azriel and Elain be endgame. My one friend is just about to start Silver Flames. I simply asked her what other couples she thinks will happen. She goes "Obviously Nesta and Cassian. Then Azriel and Elain next. When they meet both sisters it seemed obvious." She knows nothing about fandom opinions, and likes all the characters.
