The young explorer Captain Naomi Turner returns back to the Kingdom of Avalor, where everything has changed and everyone had grown out the people they once were. Well, every one except the Chancellor of Avalor and cousin to Queen Elena, Esteban Flores, much to Naomi's chagrin.
However, when the two of them go in place of the pregnant Elena to respond to a distressing call in Norberg, they find that good Queen Abagail is dead, Chloe is missing, and an imposter and his slimy advisor having taken to the Throne. To top it off, this Phony King demands the capture and questioning of Naomi as a possibly conspiring Norbergian. To avoid this, Naomi must go from being a Norbergian to an Avaloran. They only solution: Marriage. To Esteban.
While this solution is effective, it's the last thing Naomi and Esteban ever wanted. But, they'll have to learn to rely on one another as they hope to find Chloe, face the demons of the past, new dangers that threaten the future, and Naomi learns that Royal Court is a much more dangerous game than Pretty dresses and airheaded Royals. Especially when a slow burning attraction begins to arise and complicate matters even more.

The Last Dragon Shifter
Naomi Cliffton believed she would go her whole life hiding her true identity. To the people of Tyrra, she is someone barren of magic and a social pariah. In reality, she is the last dragon shifter: a lone survivor of a race that was killed off for being a threat to Tyrra's hierarchy. In fear of being persecuted like her ancestors, Naomi has never revealed herself, until a chance encounter with one boy changes everything. Malcolm is not the simple guy he claims to be when they first meet, but the prince of Tyrra, escaping from the castle to avoid his royal duties. When street thugs uncover his ruse, they seek to abduct Malcolm and cross Naomi off as collateral damage. Desperate to save them both, Naomi transforms, unleashing her inner dragon. Exposed, Naomi has to accept the pact the king offers: her freedom in exchange for becoming Malcolm's bodyguard. Naomi joins Malcolm at his elitist school where she deals with prejudice from her classmates and growing animosity towards Malcolm's pretentious ways. But when someone tries to murder Malcolm, Naomi must put their differences aside to uncover the conspiracy against the royal family. As more threats stack up, one thing is clear: with a determined assassin after the prince's life, it's up to Naomi whether or not the killer succeeds.Complete
My Last Oath Is Your Name
"You were sent to ruin me." His words were low, almost broken. Serenya's throat tightened, but she didn't look away. "I was." Silence stretched-then his head dropped to rest on her shoulder, reckless, aching. "Then why does it feel like you're the only one keeping me whole?" ----------- Serenya Althar was meant to fade quietly after her family's disgrace. Instead, she's forced into a dangerous bargain: spy on the kingdom's feared war captain, Darian Valeric, or lose the only chance to prove her family's innocence. Disguised as a servant, she slips into his household, armed with nothing but her wit, her courage, and the lies she must tell to survive. But Darian is no fool. Cold, sharp-eyed, and haunted by scars no one speaks of, he notices her. Tests her. And while every step closer risks exposing her secret, every stolen glance draws her deeper into the very man she swore to deceive. In a house filled with silence, suspicion, and secrets, one truth becomes impossible to deny: The greatest danger is not being caught... It's falling for him.
☽✧ Lost In Prythian ✧☾ {Rhysand x OC}
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.
