"Is it too late for us, Helion?" She asked sadly, hands braced on the railing. "Have we missed our chance?"
"The Mother wouldn't have sent you to me if we had." He said solemnly, winding one of her scarlett ringlets around his finger. "It would seem she believes in second chances."
"Do you?" She whispered, turning to meet his golden gaze. Blue met amber, and the wind whipping around the veranda seemed to halt to hear the exchange. "Believe in second chances?"
"I don't put my faith in chances." She half expected him to smirk. To make some unserious remark to lift the weight off their conversation. He did neither.
"Then what do you put your faith in?" She pressed, looking away as he stepped closer, breath ghosting over her face.
He lifted a hand to her face, turning it with the warmth of his finger, forcing her to meet his eyes once more.
"You." He rasped, eyes tracing over every curve of her face. "I've always put my faith in you."

"With the Lady of Autumn with Helion, we may not need Beron's treaty. He would be obsolete."
"You think she's that much of a threat?"
"Did you ever wonder why my father married a common-born female?" Lucien raised a brow. "Beron may hold the title of High Lord. But my brothers and I know our Mother was always the one who belonged to the flames."

A Song of Flame & Shadow - Eris x OC
Vel, an Oracle older than Prythian itself, visits the Autumn Court at the request of its High Lord. While there she gets swept up in the court's political scheming, with Eris trying to win her favor using any means necessary. But all is not what it seems and her visit is cut short by a bloody betrayal. Now, alone and afraid she must escape Autumn and get back home. - Perhaps she'd misjudged him and he was actually going to slice her open. Vel decided she wasn't going to stick around to find out. In the blink of an eye, she squeezed her palm between the blade and her neck, scraping most of the skin off in the process, and with her other arm she elbowed Eris in the stomach as hard as she could. The dagger clattered to the floor slick with her blood and Eris released her, stumbling a few feet back. She turned back towards him, palms up. Blood was pouring down her left arm, dripping into her sleeve. He'd already produced another dagger from Mother knew where and was about to throw it at her face. "Wait. Eris. We want the same thing. We could work together if you would just trust me." Eris narrowed his eyes at her. "Trust you? Do you genuinely think I'm simple?" he hissed out the words, trying to keep his voice low. "You want me to trust you when all you've been doing since you got here has been sneaking around and spying on us."Complete
A Court of Mortal Love (ACOTAR Fanfic)
TW: This book deals with triggering topics, rape/violence and gore. I was born to Graysen, enemy of the Fae. He taught me his history. The history of the war with Hybern, 27 years ago, of the different kinds of Fae to hate, and of Feyre, who was taken by Tamlin-the worst Fae of them all. Yet recently Ma and I found that maybe Father didn't hate all Fae. In fact, he was still in love with one. So obsessed with Elain, he had named me after her-Ellaena. Ma left, and in the wake of her absence, I now doubted their love of me, and fled my Father's fortress. Fled into town, in the alleys, straight into the group of men who became my first abusers. They left me in the forest, at the border between the mortal realm and the Spring Court. It was how I met him-the one I was warned of most. Tamlin. And I learned, like 27 years ago when he had fallen for Feyre, that he had always been destined for mortal love. OC x Tamlin Disclaimer: All characters are owned by Sarah J.

A Court of Dreams and Embers (Eris x Female OC)
Eris Vanserra x Myrra (Rhys and Feyre's Daughter) - SPICY 18+! Fate works in mysterious ways when the Lady of Autumn's memories are stolen, and Myrra is summoned to the foreign Court to help. As a Specialist Healer with the rare ability to Dream Walk into the subconscious, she guides others through buried traumas and forgotten memories. When Helion comes and asks her to help his former love, she volunteers without hesitation - her quick decision having absolutely nothing to do with the red headed male she met on the battlefield the year before... (or so she tells herself.) Stepping into the Autumn Court means Myrra is stepping into Eris Vanserra's world - a world of secrets, scars, and amber eyes that ignite more than just her fire magic. As Myrra delves deeper into the Lady of Autumn's mind, she uncovers more than just lost memories, but an understanding of the male who's been plaguing her thoughts. This is the story where Eris gets the redemption he deserves, revealing the layers beneath his mask and the reasons behind his seemingly-heartless choices. Trigger warnings: ✧This is a spicy story so things will become 18+ as the story progresses ✧References child abuse and spousal abuse (Beron is an absolutely horrible person in this story) ✧A little bit of gore (mentions of some blood or burning people to ash, nothing too graphic though) I do not own any of these characters and this is a fanfic made for the fun of writing and my undying love of red headed fictional men!

"I don't need to tell you pricks anything, I have my own reasons for being here and they don't concern three idiots who won't-" I was cut off as a force came slamming into me.

I mirrored this as I looked up at him, my own anger causing my shadows to whip around sharply. We stare at each other in the eyes, neither of us backing down as the other two shout at him trying to call him off. His shadows come dancing around him to meet mine in turn. A moment passes and it feels as though the shadows part to reveal an invisible string tying us together. Just as the mating bond snaps into place.
