In the country of Elenktis, a nation ruled by a corrupt oligarchy,  the practical use of magic is outlawed, so thaumaturges, those who study magic, are muted and imprisoned, while the Vdelgma, those born with magic, are sent to concentration camps. We follow the story of Lady Morgan, one of the Oligarchs who wishes to route out the corruption and return magic to it's former standing,  Jade, a vdelgma seeking revenge for the deaths of her family members, Varix, the son of Lord Van Winter who works in the shadows to free Vdelgma and Thaumaturges, and Malcolm, a mute thaumaturge who illegally heals the poorfolk for a small amount of coin to support himself and his brother. They will all come together under the same cause, making the world right again.All Rights Reserved

A Court of Death and Retribution by lowkeystruggling

*Set many years after ACOSF* (Nyx x OC) Belladonna Haven doesn't belong anywhere. She didn't belong in her family house with her abusive father and she didn't belong anywhere after her and her mother escaped. They would all stare at her gloved hands and wonder what secrets Bella was hiding. Her mother always told her three things. 1. Keep running 2. Never take the gloves off 3. Only steal from the wealthy Of course Bella was curious. So one day, she broke the most important rule... and regretted it ever since. Years later, she's still on the run, still keeping her gloves on, and still stealing from the wealthy. Unfortunately for her, she stole from the wrong kind of wealthy. Unfortunately for them, she was completely open to the idea of breaking rule number two. - Also: In this story I'm assuming that Gwyn and Azriel are mates. It won't affect the story too much, just a heads up for those who don't approve. - Rankings: #1 in Rhysand (May 2021) #1 in acotar (May-June 2021) #1 in Nyx (May-June 2021) #1 in Azriel (May 2021) #1 in Feyre (June 2021)

Seven Courts of Love and Magic by nizuaxo

The magic of Prythian is fading, and with it everything that Zaria loves. As daughter of Tamlin, High Lord of the Spring Court, her father's reputation precedes her, but she is determined to save the only home she's ever known. Across the realm, Nyx struggles with the pressure of the legacy he carries as Rhysand's son, the most powerful High Lord of all time, the High Lord of the Night Court. In an unlikely alliance forged from family rivalry and an unwanted mating bond, Nyx and Zaria are Prythian's last hope of existence. Together, they must travel through the seven courts, reconciling their differences to save their home, and their parents. **Inspiration taken from the world created by Sarah J Maas**

Hundreds of years earlier, a detachment of soldiers finds a naked and freezing woman in the middle of a forest. She has no memory and a hunger that is unquenchable.

Rudimentum: Oracle by amylane10

Mordrake Scoretti, a powerful mage, is chosen from birth by The Lady of the Lake to fulfil a destiny. In return he asks for the Vasilis crown. After being denied, he revolts and takes the King, Queen and Prince hostage. Princess Elysia escapes with William, her most trusted guard, leaving her parents and brother behind in his grasp. Tormented by visions while she sleeps, she knows Mordrake wants the power from Rudimentum, the realm where magic originated from and only Oracles like herself can travel to. After running into pirates, former pirate-captain Ulric Swift joins them to help take back the biggest plunder of all: a kingdom. Swift is determined to show he can be trusted while William struggles between his duty to protect Elysia and his love for her. As they hide themselves from Mordrake and seek help from King Brandon in Kimera, love and friendship are tested as truths from the past are revealed. Will King Brandon go to war or will Elysia need to rely on her own strength and those she loves and trusts to take back her kingdom?

A Court of Shadows and Heartbreak by Jamie9214

OCxAzriel(acotar) This story follows Verena, a half high fae, half witch, who has lived with so much anger and despair since she was 16, when everything she knew and loved was taken from her by no other than the then High Lord of the Night Court. Centuries have passed, but Verena cannot let go of all the damage that has been done to her and to her people. This is why she finds herself in the last place she ever thought she would be at: the Night Court. She's after the last piece of her heritage; her mother's spell book, and nothing will stop her. Even if a certain shadowsinger has his eyes on her all the time. Oh, and did I forget to mention that the most powerful High Lord, Rhysand, is her brother? I do not own any of the Original characters from ACOTAR, only the ones I have created for this story. *Takes place before and after the events of ACOTAR ;) More coming soon...

A court of blood and darkness(Nyx x OC) by Daneyrys

Khalissa was born in the depths of the woods, surrounded by darkness and shadows. The only times when she left her home were when she was called by the Witch Queen to give her a new mission, always the same:kill. She lives in her own world,isolated between the walls of another, yet she doesn't know it. For her kind, having a beating heart means weakness and nothing more, and with her mixed lineage, the task of hidding everything she fells it's almost unbeareble. One day, she meets the heir of the Night Court, the warrior with a snarky smile and saphire eyes, and that's when she realizes the walls she built along the years might be a prison as much as they are a protection. With a new war coming, Khalissa is torned between the darkness she grew with, and the light she came to love. ~Nyx x OC ~takes place 200 hundred years after ACOSF

A Song of Faithless Shadows by yourlocalsag

Gwyneth had always felt connected to her faith, a higher power presiding over her. That faith had shaken that devastating day those years ago, the day that went on to haunt her every nightmare for years to come. She's still trying to come back from it, to not only restore her faith in life and love, but her faith in herself. The sanctity of her spirit- she prayed for resolve. Every punch was a prayer. Every mile was a hymn. Until her knuckles bled and her knees gave. Azriel had been surrounded by darkness his whole life, a poison on his world, on his being. He exercised restraint in his every waking moment, banishing that darkness within himself. Some guessed of the strain it put on him, but no one knew the extent of it, how deep his scars ran. It was better this way, he was sure. He had always thought that if there were a higher power- which he wholly doubted- such deities must loathe him to have burdened him such darkness. He hadn't much faith in the gods anyway, much less faith that he could sway their opinion on him. But Gwyneth and Azriel did have one thing in common: the quiet fight within themselves. They only knew one way: to go about it alone, couldn't fathom letting another in. But there's a magic in finding someone who is your equal but opposite, something transforming. And frankly, Gwyneth and Azriel could both use a little magic. All characters owned by SJM in the ACOTAR series. Story takes place after the events of ACOSF. Aligns with the events in my other fic: A Storm of Flames and Deceit. I haven't finished Crescent City, so this story takes place outside of the events of those books as well.

"You still haven't answered one of my questions, where are you from? What court? If you're part of one anyway." "I am from the Night Court, and I can only presume that you're part of the Spring Court." I knew exactly who he was then, and he was powerful.
