Arventh Seirr is the young and absolute monarch of Xindin. Blessed with fertile land and a powerful military, Xindin stands contentedly above its neighbours. Despite this, Arventh harbours a broken soul, having never recovered from his father's sudden death. 

To uphold a promise made by his beloved predecessor, Arventh marries the princess of a small, endangered kingdom. However, not everything transpires as simply as he hoped. In face of a strange but genuine woman, the king struggles to maintain the painless harmony around him as memories and emotions unwanted begin to resurface.
~
Entering a kingdom cold to outsiders is never easy. Taking the sought-after place beside the people's beloved king is even harder. 

Alaeca Mythal is a spirited woman determined to create a place for herself in Xindin. Welcomed only by a select few, Alaeca confronts alienation, loneliness, and even threats. But before she can gain acceptance in the dark place she now calls home, Alaeca must first melt the icy walls around her reserved husband.

The King's Courtier  by thekingscourtierbook
15 parts Ongoing
This story is a romantic fantasy set in the future. Keep in mind each chapter is 10 page long. In the year 2200, the world is no longer ruled by presidents or individual governments. The entire globe is ruled by a single immortal king - King Sulfur. Continents are now "categories" separating people in terms of talent. Aurelia, the protagonist, is apart of the beauty category. Although Elexia is a world in which everyone is satisfied, those in the beauty and slavery categories still face oppression. Those in her category are to become escorts and prostitutes when they're of age, not given an alternative choice in contrast to those in every other category. Aurelia was born to become the king's personal escort despite her impeccable talents in each category and when she was taken to the castle, she kept true to herself and held on to her sharp tongue. She soon realized that the castle hides many secrets. She was met with the anonymous eight who were King Sulfur's closest friends. No one knew their true purpose and looks beyond the castle's court because the castle's magic would erase everyone who stepped out's memory of them. The two strongest of the eight turn out to be the main love interests of Aurelia. While she tries to resolve her unrequited feelings for a man she formerly despised, she realizes that she has grown attached to the king. She simultaneously wrestles feelings for her old best friend and tries to discover with whom her heart truly lies. TW: oppression, sexism, vulgar language and scenes. Mature content and intimate scenes present.
☽✧ Lost In Prythian ✧☾ {Rhysand x OC} by LadyLumy
14 parts Ongoing Mature
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: This fanfiction is purely self-indulgent. 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. Slowburn romance.

To secure her position and protect her kingdom from her uncle's ambitions, Lara's parents arrange a marriage for her with Prince Kal of Valoria, a charming yet enigmatic prince from a distant land.

As the wedding day approaches, Lara's resolve crumbles, leading to a breakdown where she violently rejects the constraints of her royal life.
