☽✧ Lost In Prythian ✧☾ {Rhysand x OC} by LadyLumy

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.

WtSLB: Sapphire in Wonderland by SecretMinty

Sixteen thousand years after the Freedom War, nonhumans and humans have found a peaceful coexistence with each other on Twist. With the oppressive Church long gone, the Cult having disappeared long ago, and the Gods oddly straying from the routine of resetting the Timeline, Sapphire Primary, the fairy-turned-doll, lives a quiet life with her friend, Vao Branwen the dullahan. Both unable to die of old age, follow these two semi-immortals as their lives spiral into yet another adventure.

Bane of Greed by awryelle

In Whyrlsong, Chaos is fate, and the gods beneath it are its Vessels. Silvanya is among the chosen Vessels of war incarnate. At the peak of her prowess, a betrayal unfurls, forcing gods to turn against each other. Silvanya is the first to fall as she is cursed to an eternal slumber with a dagger driven to the center of her chest. And it only takes an oath-bound mortal like Aerys, to pull the dagger from her heart and have her loyalty under his whim. With a broken Vessel at his side, it is up to him whether he uses her for his own agenda or free her from her cursed shackles and let chaos lead the rest. ▪︎▪︎▪︎▪︎▪︎▪︎▪︎▪︎▪︎▪︎ Updated weekly.

Fayre by Nikkireadw

Melissa Crawford thinks she's just a regular teenage girl. She goes to school. She has friends, boy problems, homework...you know, the typical teenage angst. But she couldn't be more wrong, for Melissa Crawford is not a mortal. Her adoptive mortal mother refused to give her up and hired a witch to erase the enchanting Faery child's memory, not realizing that things aren't that simple. You see, when she was a little girl, Melissa promised herself forever to her Leannan Sidhe (mate), a Fae Prince, and a promise to Fae is sacred. When the Fae Prince comes back to claim what's his, nothing will get in his way. "Mortals are so arrogant. So utterly narcissistic to think that they are the only intelligence in this world, to believe their realm is the only realm, their way is the only way. "Many of you believe us fairies only exist in little kids' fairy tales. We are so much more than that. We exist, living in the Realm just a blink away from yours. A few wrong turns in the park or the forest and you're there. We sometimes walk among you, and you're not even aware of it. Believe me, we exist. Across the globe, your kind calls us and our realm by different names...but as William Shakespeare once said- a rose by any other name..."

Elfhaven (the Danu Cycle: Fiann Trilogy Book 2) by writeriz

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.

The Red Continent by epaul89

On the Red Continent, citizens don't protest war, they protest peace. Because in this land, conflicts once decided by clashes of rival armies are now settled in single combat between champions of royal blood. Caught between rival imperial powers and a population stricken with blood lust is Prince Leander Thorn and Princess Alexia Varela. Leander was never supposed to be his family's champion but Alexia was born to be hers. Beautiful and deadly with a tongue as sharp as her sword, Princess Alexia is the commoner's favorite distraction and the noble's biggest object of envy and desire. Alexia has never met her equal in or out of the arena, but that all changes when she meets Leander following his first victory. Despite her resistance she falls hard for the genuine Prince Leander. But when he is implicated in the assassination of Alexia's little sister Penelope Leander is drawn into the arena once again, but this time he faces a scorned Alexia convinced of his guilt. With the whole world watching and Leander refusing to fight, Alexia will have to decide whether to kill the man she loves or take a leap of faith and trust in his innocence.

The Piper by Ryaxes

Glenn thought it was just another story-an old fable twisted by time. But when his cousin Kiara commits an unspeakable act, claiming a cloaked figure with sunset hair and haunting pipes tried to stop her, Glenn begins to question everything. Desperate for answers, he dives into forgotten legends and chilling accounts that span centuries. Each thread leads back to one name: The Piper. They say he appears at moments of reckoning, offering a choice that can save or damn a soul. But the Piper doesn't force your hand-he only plays the tune. And once you've heard it, you're never the same. A haunting tale of dark folklore, moral reckoning, and the thin line between redemption and ruin.
