The faeries of the Nation of Two Courts might have won their homeland back from the Ilviyaan, but facing the aftermath of the massacres carried out by the invaders is both devastating and traumatic. In a world wrought with war and struggles for power, the Faery Lords know that if they don't build up a powerful defense quickly the surrounding empires will leap at the chance to take out their weakened nation and claim the territories for themselves.
Lord Brisen knows her reappointment to the role of Court Warden is going to prove even more full of difficulties than she remembers, not to mention she has her hands full as one of the only faeries with the skill set to resurrect her kinsmen. Situated between the rolling moors and treacherous bogs, the House of the Tolling Bell and its Lord are the farthest from safe that they've ever been. With cells full of political prisoners, her fortress practically has a bullseye on it.
Quiet and finicky Lord Colm might finally be back in his halls, but life in the Two Courts is nothing like he remembers it. His whole identity is in tatters, his friends are dead, and his existence is no longer a quiet, peaceful one. A cartographer and High Advisor by trade, his services are important to the recovering Court, but all the pressure seems too daunting for the shy and reclusive Lord to take on alone.
Both recently resurrected themselves, Colm and Brisen don't just have difficult jobs, they also have to piece their own lives back together. In a nation fraught with fear and sorrow, try as they might, no one can run from their memories forever.

Elfhaven (the Danu Cycle: Fiann Trilogy Book 2)
The outposts are one thing, fey court is another entirely. With an inherited title she didn't earn and massive shoes to fill, Niamh tries to adjust to fey court. Dwendardian's forces are bombarding the castle, demanding Niamh's head for their leader. The harder she trains, the less adequate she feels, not in the least when her growing power only seems to be present when Eamon's annoying her. There is very little difference between love, lust and obsession. But, there is more than looming threats to the safety of all realms; the king's sons are caught in their own games and aren't averse to getting someone killed. While Eamon reminds himself his feelings for Niamh go no further than a simple fey obsession, he is still involved in the tug of war for power among the king's children. Fey obsession is a dangerous thing... So, oaths are formed and relationships tested as Niamh and Eamon are forced to hide away with the hope the fey can draw the fomorians away from Elfhaven. There, their own relationship is tested as Niamh gives in to her attraction to him. ...and, Eamon's will not be the only oath broken. But, once the threat is passed and they are back among others, Eamon is cold, distant, and his oath is near broken. But, not as broken as Killian, who senses the connection now forged between Eamon and Niamh. In faery, friend and foe hangs on a single whim. As Niamh continues to learn more about her fey heritage, she will come to see that there are many layers to the fey psyche. And, while she's slowly shedding some humanity and becoming one of them, she's only barely scratched the surface.Complete

A Champion of Light and Lions (Cersei Lannister x OC)
Dahlia has known only two things in her life: suffering and the Lord of Light. Originally joining the Red Priests of R'hllor to escape her dark past, she has since become a devoted servant of the Light and will do whatever He asks of her. After years of preaching among the commonfolk of Volantis, she is tasked with the greatest responsibility a Red Priestess can imagine: the flames have told her the identity of Azor Ahai, the Prince Who Was Promised - except it is actually a princ𝘦𝘴𝘴. Across the Narrow Sea, an unsuspecting Queen Consort is destined to save the realm from the Long Night. But she will need Dahlia to guide her, and so the priestess makes her way to Westeros to meet her. And whatever kind of fantastical hero she pictured, Cersei Lannister is certainly not who she expected to be the savior of a generation. She is not who Dahlia imagined she would one day fall in love with, either. But expectations are something best thrown to the wind anyways in times like these, for the night is dark and full of terrors...

!! This story is currently in the process of being heavily edited !!

To the rest of the world, she was but another body that hadn't been found among the ashes. Maybe a piece of her did die that night. Because now all she wants is to hurt the people who hurt her.

But does she have it in her to become just as monstrous as those who left her to ruin?Complete

How To Rule ✅COMPLETE
When Rin imagined meeting her mate she did not expect their first meeting to be of him wounded and kneeling in her father's throne room slowly dying. What was more shocking was how she healed him without a second thought because she couldn't bear his pain and even going as far as kissing him slightly forgetting everyone in the room including her father who did not look in anyway pleased. She is torn between two sides. The right one blurred in-between them both. Each holding a consequence she just might not be ready to face. Her father who is grooming her to be exactly like him, a merciless tyrant. Or Her mate who wants her to forsake all she's ever known and in doing so choose him and his people, the rebels. *** 'Rin I care about you. The moment you let them conquer your mind from something as weak as your heart you have already lost. They will use that spymaster to dethrone me and once they do that they will disgard you for your blood relation to me. Understand. I have to protect you Rin even if it hurts you. You're my little girl.' *** Written for the open novella contest 2021. Longlisted for the open novella contest 2021.Complete
