Summary
Seraphiel knew her place: a half-breed experiment burdened with a divine purpose. She would become the huntress of demons, a symbol of wrath and retribution under the guise of keeping the peace. Detested by her half-siblings, coveted by her father, Seraphiel yearns to discover her hidden heritage, to break the tiresome cycle of battle, and to understand herself as more than a weapon to be wielded.
Azriel was content to live in the quiet solitude of his shadows; to act when his High Lord commanded it; the true eyes and ears of the Night Court. He was the executioner’s sword, wielded with a lethal efficiency that left their enemies trembling in fear at the mention of his name. He had purpose: he was a protector, and he would do anything to ensure the safety and peace of his Court.
When a scorched and broken female crash-lands at his feet, Azriel finds himself drawn to the fallen being in ways he never imagined. A kindred spirit.
As they navigate the bounds of their unlikely alliance, Azriel and Seraphiel must traverse a dangerous path—one full of treachery and self-discovery; a path that could either heal or destroy them as they defy both the divine and the infernal forces determined to keep them apart.

Summary
Bridgeton/Pride and Prejudice meets ACOTAR well specifically Azriel
Azriel, the Shadowsinger of the Night Court, has spent centuries in war and darkness. He has no patience for noble games, no desire for politics. But when Rhysand arranges his marriage to the infamous Jewel of Prythian-an effort to mend ties with the Spring Court and keep Azriel from dangerous affections-he is forced into a world he despises.
Liora, daughter of the Dawn and Spring Courts, is everything he is not: a highborn beauty, the perfect courtly lady, untouched by war. To Azriel, she is spoiled, vain, and frivolous. To her he is a brute-cold, scarred, and lacking any grace beyond the battlefield. Forced into marriage, they are trapped in a battle of wills, neither willing to bend.
For beneath Liora's silks and diamonds lies a mind as sharp as his blades. And beneath Azriel's shadows and scars is a longing he never dared to name.
Can a warrior of darkness and a lady of starlight survive the storm ahead-or will their pride and prejudice tear them, and Prythian, apart?

Summary
This fanfic is written post ACOSF. Azriel has bitterly decided to abandon any interest in both Elain and Gwyn. Rhys made his opinion clear about anything between Az and Elain, and Gwyn was not pleased to discover that her necklace had been a regift. She'd struck it with her blade and left it broken in the training ring for him to find. Azriel resolves to focus on his job as spymaster and forget his pursuit of any sort of relationship for a while. A new female enters his life when he least expects it, from the place he harbors only hate for. Can an Illyrian female show him any redeeming qualities in his birthplace--perhaps even break through his shadows to unveil the heart beneath?

Summary
There is more than meets the eye in the city of Velaris. Magic lays hidden in plain sight, recognized only by wielders, the rest of the citizens ignorant to the supernatural goings on in the city.
Elain is a confident magic wielder, using her powers of Sight and earthwork to make a living as a fortune teller, living a simple, peaceful life despite the recent heartbreak she has endured. Azriel is an aloof financial manager at a business firm, adamantly opposed to anything that cannot be unequivocally proven by the scientific method and rational thought.
But when he meets Elain, Azriel's commitment to rationality begins to fray as she slowly awakens something that has been crawling beneath his skin since childhood. Something he has spent years denying, refusing to remember, refusing to explore. And when Elain meets Azriel, her Sight begins to show her flashes of her past life, a past life where something terrible and tragic happened, and she fears history will repeat itself. Their immediate and persistent attraction and draw to each other creates turbulence in both of their lives when their heads and their hearts cannot align, and their togetherness forces them both to confront pasts they would rather forget.

Summary
Born under Amarantha’s brutal reign, Nephele has never seen the world beyond temple walls. Raised in isolation at Cesere’s edge, her life has been one of ritual and restraint—until Hybern’s forces raze her sanctuary, leaving her with nothing but ashes and grief.
Rescued by her court’s High Lord, she is brought to the House of Wind, where ancient magic stirs and winged warriors fly under starlit skies. But even there, peace eludes her. Blood-stained dreams and a pull toward something unknown haunt her sleep in the quiet of the library.

His general, Cassian, feels a strange familiarity in her presence. Amren scents forgotten magic in her blood. And Mor watches the threads of fate tighten around a girl who may unravel everything.
Something long-dormant stirs in Nephele—power she never knew, truths hidden beneath a life of lies. To stop what’s coming, she must uncover what was taken from her… and decide what, and who, she’s willing to fight for.
What will it take to awaken the winter within her heart?

After his mother’s mind broke, he was taken in by the madam of a pleasure house who gave them shelter—for a price. But the Court of Nightmares is rising. Whispers of rebellion swell beneath the mountain, and Kyros, with storm-silver eyes and secrets in his blood, may become the face of it.Azriel has one job: infiltrate the rebel network festering below, gain their trust, and report back to Rhysand. But keeping his distance—especially from the one female he’s been warned to avoid—proves harder than expected. He finds distraction in the brothels… until a certain storm-eyed male turns his world upside down. In Kyros, Azriel sees more than a rebel—he sees a mirror. But is he still fighting for the right side? Or has he already become the very thing he swore to destroy?
There are secrets buried beneath the mountain—secrets the former High Lord took to his grave.

Summary
Angelo is a slave, bound to the Court of Nightmares by chains of pain, silence, and obedience. Abandoned by a High Lord and ruled by ruthless Fae, he has long since buried hope. His world is darkness—until one act of defiance sparks something dangerous: attention.
Eyes shift. Whispers spread. And for the first time, Angelo is faced with a choice. A future. A chance to change everything.
Azriel, the infamous Shadowsinger and Spymaster of the Night Court, is sent to investigate rising unrest in Hewn City. He expects treachery, not the fire he finds in a broken slave. Angelo challenges everything Azriel believes—about duty, justice, and the limits of mercy.
As rebellion grows and the court begins to fracture, both are caught in the storm. In a court where cruelty reigns, freedom demands sacrifice—and no revolution comes without blood.
