Briella Soleil just wanted to spend a week with her brother when she accidentally ended up in Prythian instead. • ☼ • "Hi, I'm so sorry to intrude but I was going to visit my brother and got lost on the way. Could you tell me where I am?" I asked, hoping that this wasn't a weird question at all. He gave me a strange look and I plastered my most innocent smile across my face. "The Spring Court. In Prythian." Shit. • ☼ • "You don't know the Fergalicious rap? Uncultured Illyrians. You're learning the whole thing right now." • ☼ • SLOW UPDATES -

Taking place 70 years after the war against Koschei, Prythian has seen almost a century of peace and prosperity. The children of the Inner circle have grown and all eyes are on Nyx Archeron, the next High Lord of the Night Court. Nyx, however, has no intention of taking on the role, or any of the responsibility that accompanies it, any time soon. In fact, he'd rather not take it on at all. That is, until a certain Valkyrie-in-training waltzes into his life and knocks him down a peg, literally. Tate Ilsley has been training her entire life to become worthy of the title of Valkyrie commander, refusing to take a breath for even a moment until she feels like she has proven herself. When Nesta offers her a short cut to achieving everything she's ever dreamed of, she refuses to allow the infuriating and arrogant Nyx to stand in her way. Even if it means dragging him right along with her. A/N: REALITY IS WHAT I MAKE IT MUHAHA... sorry. Since this FanFic takes place after the events of the entirety of the ACOTAR series, and SJM hasn't finished publishing all the books, I have to make some personal decisions for the sake of my mental health... If any of the following don't appeal to you, you don't need to read my story:) - I DONT THINK IT NEEDS TO BE SAID BUT ACOSF SPOILERS - Azriel and Gwyn are happily mated (DUH!) - Elain is on a self-discovery journey (Or whatever, I just won't be mentioning her much or even at all. I'm sorry if you hoped I would, I'm just afraid my strong dislike of her would give me a bias while writing her) - There was a full blown war with Koschei after the events of ACOSF that took place but it's all resolved now;) -Emerie and Mor are mates (I don't care if they had a 0.5 second interaction, I believe in eMORie supremacy!!!) ALL CHARACTERS/PLACES/PLOT LINES IN THIS FANFICTION THAT ARE MENTIONED IN THE OFFICIAL ACOTAR SERIES BELONG TO SARAH J MAAS.
