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.

Her life has been one of ritual, restraint, and restless longing for answers she knows she'll never have. Until Hybern. Mere months after Amarantha's fall, soldiers descend on Cesere and the High Lord of the Night Court finds Nephele bleeding and burnt beneath the worst of Hybern's males. Rhysand offers her refuge in the House of Wind, a sanctuary carved into the mountainside beneath a starlit sky that watches over the dreamlike city of Velaris. Yet grief leaves Neph hollow, and nightmares of blood-stained snow and a tether to something unknown stalk her sleep in the library at the heart of the House. Something stirs in her blood. A power she never knew . . . another truth she was never told. A bloodline buried beneath a life built on lies. Night's spymaster, 𝑨𝒛𝒓𝒊𝒆𝒍, is just as drawn to her as his shadows are. Night's general, 𝑪𝒂𝒔𝒔𝒊𝒂𝒏, is haunted by a familiarity he cannot make sense of. Nephele is desperate to uncover what was taken from her as war builds on the horizon. Every truth unraveled makes the world tremble beneath her feet. She never could've predicted what life beyond temple walls had waiting for her . . . And she certainly never expected that it would be two Illyrian warriors who would finally awaken the 𝒘𝒊𝒏𝒕𝒆𝒓 within her heart.
A Single Rose: Part 1 by Istar1144
50 parts Complete
In a kingdom where duty outweighs desire, alliances are forged in marriage, and power is a game played in shadows, the noble houses of Harvanser and Kon weave an intricate web of ambition, betrayal, and legacy. At the heart of this tale stands Isabel Harvanser, the cast-aside daughter of King Louis Brail. Once the cherished heir to the throne, she is now stripped of her title and future, Isabel harbors a single, burning vow-to reclaim what was stolen from her. But as she navigates the treacherous politics of nobility, she begins to realize that power is not simply given-it must be taken. Alongside Isabel's story is the story of her family. Her maternals figures, once radiant and ambitious young noblewomen attempt to play the courtly game with ease. Their paths are destined to end, and their fates tangled in a battle of wits, will, and whispered alliances. As noble daughters are bartered for power and kings secure their legacies through blood and marriage, Isabel must decide who she will become-a pawn in the hands of those who rule or a queen in her own right. A Single Rose is a gripping tale of ambition, family, and the cost of power. For in a world where crowns are won through cunning defeats, and love is a luxury few can afford, only the ruthless will rise. Will Isabel carve her own destiny, or will she be buried beneath the weight of duty and betrayal? One thing is certain-she will not go quietly. Notes: The title of Lord Baron is given to those who rules a region of land in the ruler of the country's name. So the king is the ruler of the entire country, and a lord Baron is the ruler of a designated region within that country.
☽✧ Lost In Prythian ✧☾ {Rhysand x OC} by LadyLumy
25 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: 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.

Reverie of the Fallen Deity

11 parts Complete Mature

The world of Alaris had always been one ruled by magic and the will of the gods. Most had some degree of renown or magical power, even attaining the status of so called Legends. A woman of no real renown, Alistaria had attempted to claw her way to some degree of notoriety with what little magical power she had. Achieving the rank of captain of a royal guard, she had expected to live a semi average existence. Sent on an expedition to find the source of an emerging insurrection, Alistaria finds herself in a nearly alien outpost in the middle of the desert. After a chance encounter in a place she shouldn't have been, she is infected by a monstrous creature and is forced to watch as she slowly succumbs to changes she didnt intend. Forced into the grip of a vengeful god and granted the power to corrupt the world around her, Alistaria must navigate her own maturation and avoid certain death at the hands of those she once called companions.
