In which a combat medic falls into an unsettling fate. TW: graphic medical descriptions. [Azriel X Fem OC]

Book 1 - Battle for the High Crown Hyacinth, known as Cin, has lived in a village located in rather close to the High Lord of Spring's Manor, all her life. She's seen the once thriving and prosperous Spring Court fall into ruin and lawlessness due to the absence of their High Lord, Tamlin. But two years of waiting and hoping, Cin has had enough. Having stood by and watched her home deteriorate for long enough, she sets out to find the High Lord and bring him back to his seat of power, against the wishes of her brother, Bron. As Cin helps Tamlin restore his decrepit Manor and re-establish order in the Spring Court, she becomes his closest ally and confidant. Together, they work to rebuild the Court and bring back the faith of the Fae in their High Lord. But as Cin helps Tamlin, she must also confront her own traumatic past. Can these two trauma survivors, Cin and Tamlin, save each other and their home? Join Cin in her journey as she fights to restore order and prosperity to the Spring Court, facing her own demons and navigating the challenges that come with rebuilding a kingdom, all while trying to find a way to heal both her and Tamlin's past.

Rhaella is human. Azriel is Fae. The bond doesn't care. For three years, a mortal girl survived slavery by staying invisible and hiding the one secret that could kill her. She has magic. Azriel spent lifetimes waiting for his mate. And when he finds Rhaella, human, starved, tortured, barely breathing, the bond snaps anyway, devastating and absolute. And he makes a choice that changes everything. He burns her world down, slaughters everyone who hurt her, and refuses to let her go. Now a mortal girl must navigate freedom that feels like a new cage, a bond she never asked for, and an immortal male whose devotion terrifies her as much as it heals her. While Azriel learns that saving someone and healing them are two different things, and that sometimes love means giving back the choice he took away. In the dungeons of men, she learned what mercy costs. In the ruins of his faith, he learned what devotion demands. Some wounds don't heal with magic. Some require time, patience, and a mortal heart teaching an immortal warrior how to live, not just survive. He would burn the world for her. She will teach him how to live in what remains. ⚠️ TRIGGER WARNINGS 🕊️ This story contains graphic and emotionally intense themes, including: Slavery and systemic dehumanization Detailed depictions of torture and physical suffering The death of a child (traumatic and central to the plot) Severe medical trauma and body horror PTSD and realistic trauma responses Violence, including extreme and on-page violence References to sexual violence (none between main characters) Suicidal ideation and survivor's guilt This is a dark, mature story that explores trauma, survival, and recovery.

Estelle Beaumont just wanted a peaceful hike on her last day of vacation. Instead, one ill-starred moment of curiosity leaves her miraculously stranded in the fictional world of Prythian--a faerie realm full of ruthless court drama, rampant misogyny, and enough deadly magic to keep anyone up at night. Armed with foreknowledge that's only helpful when it isn't actively trying to get her killed, Estelle quickly discovers that living through the story of ACOTAR is far less fun and far more perilous when it's her own basic-ass, untrained mortal life on the line. Her plan is simple: keep her hands off of the plot and survive long enough to find a way back to the family and love she left behind. But the so-called "Mother" clearly has other plans for Estelle, forcing her to confront an unsettling truth--that her role here in Prythian might be far greater than that of a passive observer. As Estelle reluctantly abandons her original plan, uneasy alliances form, old wounds reopen, and fractured trust begins to mend. Love, loss, and scars of the past converge as Estelle slowly starts to see that the family she thought she'd lost might take a new shape, and that the life she left behind might be the only reason she's prepared for the fight ahead. But the cost of shaping Prythian's future--and her own--might be greater than she can bear. After all, it's a future that was never meant to be hers to begin with. And this is all that damned Cauldron's fault... ☆⊱──────⊰ ☽✧☾ ⊱──────⊰☆ A/N: Warning: This fanfiction is purely self-indulgent, with long-winded introspection and a major, major slowburn romance. Read at your own risk lol. Also if you don't like self-insert/iseki like tropes were an original character who read the books ends up in the fictional world as the new main character, you might want to skip this. Somethings will stay very familiar, others will diverge completely, and I plan to add extra world building along the way.

Eira Archeron was neither a Valkyrie, nor a Seer, nor the High Lady of the Night Court. She was actually pretty much useless. The only thing she wanted was to be somebody's first choice for once in her life. Also known as: Azriel's shadows decide that if he doesn't treat his mate right... they'll just do it for him.

Azriel's shadows find their master a wife. Azriel would just really like his heart not to get broken again. And Sky...well, she's just really surprised that that far too handsome male is interested in her at all.

The shadows decide that Azriel needs a hobby. 5 times when said hobby-related shenanigans didn't end so well...and the one time where it may end up better than Azriel could ever have imagined.

5 Times members of the Inner Circle get absolutely terrified by Azriel's...whatever she is, and 1 (of many) times Azriel thinks that his witch was the best thing that ever happened to him.

Azriel had spent centuries believing that he of all people didn't deserve a mate. And if anything, the last three years had just galvinised that particular belief. And then he meets her. The first time Oriana met Azriel, she thought that he reminded her of a skittish cat. Shy and a little bit broken. Good for him that she absolutely excelled in fixing the things around her.
