AzrielxOC slowburn romance 

"Is there something you need to say, Azriel?" She studied him, and her eyes seemed to glow in the darkness. He couldn't keep his eyes off of her, too. 

Azriel could feel his heart pounding in his ears, his shadows tucking in tight, and his breath hitch in his throat, but he could do nothing to stop himself as he breathed out - "I'm your mate."

--- 

Though a semblance of peace had arrived, the war with Hybern had left a gaping wound in Prythian. The High Lords form alliances with far away fae territories, in an attempt to rebuild order within their world and establish peace. One by one, emissaries meet with the High Lords of Prythian, striking treaties and alliances. But when a new kingdom, that of the Syrens, come to them wanting a place amid their Treaty, only the High Lord and Lady of the Night Court decide to take a chance on them. 

Taken under the wing of the Night Court, the emissary of the Syrens, Brianna, must form coalitions within the seven courts of Prythian, earning the trust of its High Lords, developing unlikely friendships with the Inner Circle - especially with that of a certain shadowsinger, with whom she shares a most particular type of bond.

But there are secrets that people keep, secrets that, if revealed, could be the very undoing of Prythian. And as they grow close to one another, as they learn more about each other and of themselves, Azriel and Brianna will learn whether their secrets will bring them together, or tear them apart.

A Song of Faithless Shadows by yourlocalsag
93 parts Complete Mature
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.

Once celebrated as one of the top generals of the Night Court, Branwenn commanded legions, known as the fearsome "Black Bird" in battle. But fate takes a treacherous turn when she is betrayed and captured by soldiers. In a brutal act of vengeance, they strip away her wings, leaving her injured and broken. As she struggles with depression and the loss of her identity, Branwenn seeks solace in the Illyrian mountains, attempting to rekindle her spirit without her once-proud wings. However, her path takes an unexpected twist when she discovers her long-lost father's demise and finds herself on a quest to locate the sorcerer-lord-an enigmatic and powerful figure. Faced with desperation, Branwenn strikes a dangerous bargain with the sorcerer-lord, risking everything for the chance to regain her lost abilities. Yet, as the last feather is traced down her spine, she must confront the ultimate challenge-a high-stakes battle that will determine her fate. To win high fae powers and reclaim a fraction of her former strength or face an eternity bound to the sorcerer's dark desires. Enter a world of perilous alliances, seductive enchantments, and unimaginable choices. In "A Court of Blood and Feathers," follow Branwenn's captivating story as she navigates the treacherous path of power, loss, and self-redemption, amidst a realm where darkness and light collide. This is a spin-off inspired by the captivating works of Sarah J. Maas, a delightful blend of homage, spoof, and fan fiction. Full credit is attributed to her exceptional characters and the wondrous world she envisioned.

An Azriel Fanfiction. (Azriel × OC) Daggerheart should have always remained in the dark - the shadow you see out of the corner of your eye - gone before you know if it was a human, an animal or a monster.

When the war with Hybern ended and fae decided to infest the human realm with spies and messengers, the underworld was in an uproar. They needed to send a message - Even with the Mortal Queens gone, the humans were not left untamed and unsupervised. They had an overseer - An uncrowned Queen. And she would not allow her lands to be once again controlled by fae lords who had tortured and brutalized their people just five hundred years ago. Her message was clear - Leave or pay with your lives.
A Court of Bone and Sorrow by 4getmenever
15 parts Ongoing Mature
Dea is forgettable. Lost in the vastness of her elder brother's shadow, Dea lurks at the fringe of a great family, better suited to hiding a smile and presenting an aloof, uncaring front to any outside their territory. Not daemati. Not shadowsinger. Hardly Illyrian. Not special, and destined to lurk in shadows that would not envelope her, cursed to be powerless, while her brother holds it all. But Rhysand is not their father, and Dea is not their mother-half of them High Fae, half of them Illyrian, forever trapped between two peoples, two cultures, and two parents whose rage makes the mountains tremble. Until war steals her brother and father and all she holds dear away, far off to battlefields they might never return from. And Dea is running from something only known in the bones below the earth, where her brother has forbidden her from going. But as great armies clash and the noose grows tighter, Dea needs answers. Before her brother is lost to the shadows he loves so dearly. ✧ Also available on AO3.

With the war against Hybern over, Prythian is finally able to breathe. That is, until four women are brought into a dream where they discover that they are more closely connected to the Cauldron than they once thought, and are now in grave danger. Things have awoken from deep beneath the earth. The power of the Cauldron broke the spells holding them back, and they are now on the hunt for it. They will stop at nothing until they have it. Monsters from another time, beings with enough power to reshape the world, and all they need is the Cauldron. Niana searches for those that share her connection, leading her to the Night Court. What she didn't plan for, though, was to be thrown into a past she desperately wished to forget. Secrets are forcibly brought to the light, and unknown feelings spark between herself and the one person she can't stand. ✩ ✩ ✩ "Take off your glamor," he said against my lips, voice rough. "I want to see it all," he whispered. I held a breath. "I'm afraid you'll hate what I am." "I could never hate you." ✩ ✩ ✩ Azriel x OC published on both Wattpad and AO3
Healer by silli__lilli
46 parts Complete Mature
Completed. AzrielxFemale OC - Slow Burn, Fluff, Smut, Soft Az. Lots of Action/Story/Other character involvement. "Coming back is like swimming up to the surface. If you almost drowned already, it takes a while to feel safe taking a breath." The Shadowsinger gets distracted on a raid by a gentle natured female that appears out of place in the camp he's just taken over. He gets his job done, but takes critical moments to pull her aside and offer her refuge in his home city of Velaris. The risk of their conversation costs him, and the next few months are spent overcoming the repercussions, both physical and emotional. Dark magic swirls in Prythian, calling on spells more ancient than the High Lords and Ladies have seen in centuries and wreaking havoc on those who are too young to even recognize the source. A war is brewing and a quiet battle is already raging for the loyalty of the only healer in Prythian possessing the skills to identify and fight back against the sorcery. How will young and old, light and dark, pain and forgiveness, come together to save the land, and each other? Disclaimer: I own none of the characters or places referenced here. All belong to Sarah J. Maas.
