Summary
Lexia has spent her life surviving. First in the shadowed cells Under the Mountain. Then on the fringes of courts and friends who were never truly hers, their memories of her fading every night. When she arrives in Velaris, she expects danger from monsters and power-hungry Fae alike.
She doesn’t expect her old teacher to be there - the only one who ever seemed slightly immune to Amarantha’s memory curse.
She doesn’t expect the mortal girl from the cell next to hers to now be Fae. And a curse-breaking High Lady.
And she certainly doesn’t expect Azriel - the sharp-eyed spymaster with shadows like hers and a history just as steeped in darkness.
But in a world where knowledge is power and history is written in blood, some truths are more dangerous than lies. And some pasts refuse to stay buried.

Summary
"Your eyes are like the purest of emeralds."
"And yours like twinkling stars."
It has been 125 years since the war with Hybern, and Prythian has entered into an era of peace, but peace does not mean stillness. Since the fall of the Wall, the humans have been advancing, developing steam engines, railways, and most importantly, a Grand Fair where territories come together to display their cultures and innovations, and this year, Queen Vassa and King Jurian invite the Courts of Prythian to participate in hopes of garnering true peace between Fae and Human.
Nyx, crown prince of the Night Court, hides his doubts behind charm and wit, while Primrose, Spring’s beloved princess, shoulders duty with quiet strength. When the fair brings them together, amidst shifting politics and old scars, an unexpected bond begins to grow — one that could change more than just their courts.

Summary
“Don’t look so thrilled, sweetheart. People will talk,” he teased, his voice low and dripping with sarcasm.
“I was supposed to dance with a Summer Court captain before you rudely cut him off. And don’t call me sweetheart.”
Nyx grinned, utterly unrepentant. “You’re welcome for rescuing you.”
“I didn’t need rescuing, especially by lordling fools.” Ivy sniped.
100 years after the Second War, the High Lords, and High Lady of Prythian, along with leaders from the Human Lands, gather every 5 years in an assembly known as The Great Gathering. Tensions among humans and Fae have been increasing, as attacks along the boarders show that perhaps their two people cannot coexist peacefully.
Ivy, the daughter of High Lord Tamlin and Lady Alba of the Spring Court, loves her people dearly. She will do whatever is needed to help her family, her people, and the Spring Court thrive.
Nyx, the Prince of the Night Court, is content commanding his legion in Illyria. His father and mother are now asking him to step more fully into his role as heir.
This is a story about politics, love, loss, and what two Fae who love their people will do in order to see them thrive.

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.
As war looms, Nephele draws the attention of Rhysand’s Inner Circle. His spymaster, Azriel, cannot understand why his shadows linger around her. 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?

Summary
Elain's life is fine.
She gardens. She cooks. She plays with her nephew. Sure, she doesn't have a lot of corporeal friends, but everyone's friendly! And sure, she lives with her younger sister and associates entirely with her friend group, but that's fine. They're nice, and Feyre has a lovely home. And sure, she's a little uncomfortable when Azriel shows up, after everything, but that's fine. Manageable. She's doing very well, thank you much.
But then she starts to get visions again, and suddenly life isn't so fine after all. Not when she can't stop seeing people die.
Luckily, the visions go away around Lucien Vanserra.

Summary
After so much time, she thought the prophecy was fulfilled.
They celebrated her. A symbol. A hero. The Girl-Who-Lived.
But just when she and her group thought they could rest—when the war was over, and they could finally begin recovering from the vast amount of death and tragedy they had survived—the magic did not let h̶e̶r̶ them rest.
It tore them from their rebuilding home and took them to a different realm.....one where immortals wear crowns, lands are divided by seasons and power, and a realm where a war was at its peak.
OR
In which Mira Potter's life changes [again!] after the war, and tumbles into an entirely new world.

Summary
The first war is over. Rhysand has risen to power as the High Lord of the Night Court. To celebrate the execution of a trade treaty, Amarantha invites all the High Lords of Prythian to her residence Under the Mountain. What they don't know is that Amarantha has never settled for peace. She seeks power, and she will take what she desires by force.
This fic will give life to Rhysand's journey beginning on the evening of Amarantha's damning Masquerade.
This is Rhysand's unflinching descent into darkness. This is the raw, relentless unraveling of a High Lord pushed to his breaking point. His sanity is tested, his spirit is fractured, his secrets are buried, so carefully, into the darkness. Will his survival demand surrendering pieces of his soul? Is his soul a trade he's willing to make?
Mostly true to canon, but diverging in some unexpected ways... :)

Summary
When fire meets shadow, everything burns. Including the carefully laid plans of two masters of deception.
Eris Vanserra has always played the long game. Charm, manipulate, survive. But when a certain brooding Shadowsinger crashes his quest for forbidden magic, suddenly his perfectly orchestrated schemes are unraveling faster than he can weave new ones.
Azriel doesn't trust easily, especially not the heir to the Autumn Court with blood on his hands and secrets in his smile. But forces are stirring, and some threats require dancing with devils.
What starts as mutual manipulation becomes something far more dangerous, a bond that could destroy them both, a partnership that defies every rule they've lived by, and feelings that have no place in a world where vulnerability gets you killed.
The prophecies are awakening. The courts are fracturing. And two males who've spent lifetimes perfecting the art of emotional armor are about to discover that some wars can only be won by surrendering to the very thing they fear most.
Each other.
Because sometimes the greatest threat isn't the ancient evil trying to destroy the world, it's the person who makes you want to save it.

Summary
In the shadowed depths of the Hewn City, where cruelty rules and hope is forbidden, Nyraelle sparks a rebellion that could shatter the Night Court from within. She is fire in the dark, unyielding against the chains of fear — until Azriel, the High Lord’s shadowsinger, is sent to silence her.
But when duty collides with desire, enemies blur into something far more dangerous. Every step closer to each other threatens not only their loyalties, but the fragile line between survival and surrender.
“You want to kiss me?” she asked, and Azriel wondered if she truly had no notion of the power she held over him. Still, he admitted, his voice rough with need: “I want to kiss you so desperately that I don’t think I’ve ever wanted anything so much in my entire life.”
