Asterin Blackbeak had been born during a time of peace yet she had never known any.
After the war, Manon gives birth to her firstborn child, a beautiful girl with all of her mother's physical traits carrying inside of her the magic of the witches and the raw magic given to her by her father, the King, Dorian Havilliard.
Being so powerful from birth made Asterin be hunted by all kinds of creatures, some to claim her as their own, others to kill her but being Manon's daughter made Asterin become a skilled warrior and a very powerful witch surpassing her own mother before reaching adulthood.
Manon loved Asterin more than anything, especially after Dorian's death as her daughter was the only piece of him she had left.
Keeping always on the move and under a constant glamour Asterin was able to survive up to her 118 birthday before Manon was brutally killed, Asterin had but one option, to run and so she did but in a moment she was in the Witch Kingdom in Erileia and the next she was falling through the skies with snowcapped mountains approaching too fast.

Eternal: Azriel
Eternal: (adj.) Lasting or existing forever; without end or beginning Athanasia never complained about her situation. She never felt like she had the right to. A random event leads her to befriend a small boy. A boy that she believed she would never see again. His situation was heartbreaking, she knew that there are others that are more unfortunate just like him. However, this one encounter changes everything she expected of herself, gave her freedom when the world only wants to swallow her up. --- "Why are you doing this? Why are you befriending me? Though we met five hundred years ago, why do you still bring me into your life? So much can happen in that many years but instead of staying with your friends or finding other things to do, you're with me. Why?" I ask again. Though I don't like being so forward, I can't help it. I'm scared to hurt him. He shifts his gaze to me. His hazel eyes gleam into my blue ones as if he knows something that I don't. "You're right. I had five hundred years, five hundred years to stay with my friends and five hundred years to find other hobbies." He pauses, taking in breath. "But I had five hundred years without you, we only had two weeks together. And those two weeks were the best I've ever had. That's why I want to continue them-with you, Athy." --- Disclaimer: All ACOTAR characters and plot belong to Sarah J. Maas. My characters and scenes are my own work.Complete

Maas ! I hope you like it! Don't hesitate to let me know if you prefer the OC to become y/n and/or gender neutral.

Their wedding is also in preparation.

When Feyre learned it, she asked Tamlin and Rhysand to form an alliance. Then, they all find themselves heading to the Archerons' manor to organize a meeting with the human queens. But Rhysand, Cassian and Azriel would never have thought to meet their mate in Archerons' manor and to share her with their brothers. Luxiana is Feyre's best friend. She taught her everything, including how to hunt and survive. Luxiana has a complicated past. She seems fragile at first glance but is in fact extremely badass and powerful.Complete

To the Shadowsinger | Azriel
[COMPLETED] A hundred years had passed since the war against Hybern. Life was back to normal until a fae child fell from the sky and claimed to be from another world. No one in the Night Court understood how the gate between worlds could have opened, but Azriel had an idea. It was something big. Chaotic. Dangerous. He could feel it in his bones, like thousands of strings connecting to one thing. Hear it in the whispers that traveled from the east. The shadows that sang horrendous cries of something evil shattering. And then a gate between worlds had opened. It had to be linked together. The strings all tied back to one person. His mate. A Court of Thorns and Roses fanfic with mentions of the Throne of Glass world. May contain sensitive content. The art of Azriel on the cover belongs to: MerwildComplete
A Court of Crystal and Midnight
Cassiopeia Azalea, the daughter of Amarantha and Rhysand, was a child born of torture and sexual assault. To her mother, she was nothing more than a weapon, a tool with immense power provided by her blood to spark fear in those who would question her reign. To her father, she was the light in a world of which he was surrounded by darkness so deep, he felt like he was drowning. His beautiful little girl. Every feature that dawned on her skin was a replica of his. The Mother had blessed him in making his daughter a copy of him instead of his rapist. When the girl was born, Amarantha demanded that she was to be sent away with her father. Rhysand was to name her, raise her, and train her power until it was advanced enough that it could benefit her rule. The High Lord took it upon himself to name her after his brothers, whom he had missed more than life itself, whom he might never see again. This story will follow her life as well as the events of every ACOTAR book and even farther beyond the books. It will take quite some time for this story to be published, so it may follow ACOTAR 6, but I do not know. It depends 🤷♀️, but it will take its own route whenever the ACOTAR books are finished. 👍 Started: July 26th, 2025 Finished: ???
A whole new world (ToG/ACOTAR crossover)
A year after Aelin awakes to find her home covered in kingsflame, she and the co have finally met up again all together in Terrasen. However, when a pulse of power radiates through her country and knocks an unsuspecting Dorian and herself out, they decided to investigate the source, and postpone the greetings. What they find out might just change their world (and perhaps another one as well) forever. This is obviously a ToG/ACOTAR crossover haha, but WARNING; just a spoiler alert, if you haven't read KoA or ACOFAS you should probably go finish those! My book takes place after them, and I honestly can't compare to the real genius behind these worlds (shout out sjmaas), so go and (sob, laugh, smile) read those two before (hopefully!) reading this. (also huuuge credit to all the amazing artists who created the pictures both on the cover of this book and in each chapter. their work is so incredible-i wish i could make art like that)Complete

Afterglow | Azriel | ACOTAR
She wasn't supposed to be his-too bright, too golden, too alive for someone made of shadows. But the Mother clearly had other plans. They met in the least graceful way possible-her fist to his face, and a bond that snapped like lightning. Sunshine and shadow, drawn together by fate, forged by choice. She's chaos wrapped in laughter and light. He's quiet, lethal, and suddenly incapable of looking away. Somehow, against all odds, they work. A story of opposites crashing together like a storm-and choosing to stay. Sometimes, all it takes is one punch, one spark in the dark, to begin a love worth everything.Complete
A Court of Starlight and Silence • 1
"The Cauldron Made me. But something older claimed me." Gaia Archeron was never chosen. Not by magic, not by fate. She was a girl who survived because no one expected her to. Until she died. And when death came, it didn't keep her. Not when an ancient power-older than the Cauldron, older than Prythian-answered a forgotten wish and pulled her back. Now, something stirs beneath her skin. Starborn. Hollowed. Changed. Not quite mortal. Not quite Made. But something in between. And the world that let her die is not ready for what she's become.

☽✧ 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.
Butterfly | Azriel | ACOTAR
Born the only daughter of Lord Devlon, she grew up on the outskirts of power-always watching, always fighting for a place no one wanted her to have. While her brothers trained to conquer, she learned to endure-and taught herself to dream. They called her foolish. Said her wings were just for show. But Azriel has known her for years-long before power shifted, long before she ever dared to hope. And in all that time, he never once looked away. He calls her Butterfly-not because she's fragile, but because he sees what no one else will, the strength it takes to fly when the world keeps trying to pin you down. A story of a girl no one believed in-and the male who always did.Complete

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. She was that whisper you hear in the dead of the night that makes you go rigid and hide in the dark. 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.Complete
