1 part Ongoing Mature
Gildersmoke is more than a city-it is a machine, grinding forward on gears of ambition, industry, and blood. Floating above it, Aethercrest's elite rule from their skyborne towers, while deep below, the Rust Docks and the Gutter fester with the discarded, the rebellious, and the forgotten. In the heart of it all lies The Ebon Mirage, a sanctuary of vice, power, and deception-where fortunes are won, secrets are gambled, and history is rewritten in shadows. But something ancient has stirred. When Nora Blackwood and Cass Dreymore take control of The Ebon Mirage, they find themselves entangled in a deadly game of power and prophecy. The discovery of the Eidolon Shard-a relic of impossible energy-turns Gildersmoke into a battlefield. Every faction, from the Ashgilt Syndicate's debt lords to House Valtieri's machine-masters, seeks to claim it. The Veilwardens whisper of the danger it poses, while rogue scholars speak of lost knowledge hidden in the city's depths. Yet, Gildersmoke is not the only player in this war. Across the world, great cities awaken to the storm brewing in Aethercrest. Varkhala, The Merchant-Kings' Jewel, where assassins wield weapons that never miss. Cauldrith, The City of Aetheric Glass, where time itself bends and knowledge comes at the cost of identity. Ironmere, The Titan's Anvil, where sentient machines whisper in the dark. Selvaris, The Blooming Labyrinth, where magitech and nature have merged into something... unnatural. Ebonreach, The City Beneath the Tides, where a relic capable of erasing history itself has resurfaced.

Concordian of the Two Ends by ThatGuyDayth
31 parts Ongoing
150 years... That's how long the war has been going on in Equilibria: between the United Federation of Tachyon, a technologically advanced empire, and the Arcane Order of Seirion, a powerful magical empire. This long and unending war of conquest and expansion has led to many sufferings in this world, as those who were in between them were squashed underneath the feet of the marching force. Occasionally, some people in this world may obtain resolites, a mysterious white crystal capable of transforming into powerful melee weapons. Though its inner workings and reason for existence are unknown, those with resolites, also known as resolutors, were hunted down by the empires as a key to making super soldiers, necessary for the war. One such resolutor was Lorian Ashwood, who had obtained a particularly powerful resolite after his home village was destroyed by a mysterious ray of light coming from the sky, destroying everything in its path, including the soldiers from both empires fighting to capture his village. Nobody, not even the powerful empires, knew who was behind it. With no home to return to and no answer to the truth behind it, Lorian was forced to wander the world while the empires actively attempted to capture him. Through luck and circumstance, he encountered many people trying to make a living in this fractured world, either by opposing it or capitalising on it. He eventually joined the Strife Striders, an aviator group from Rustbed and embarked across Equilibria on a journey to find the truth behind his resolite and the mysterious ray of light, which would unexpectedly lead them into facing challenges and uncovering deeper truths.

Despite her skill as a deadly commander and warrior, she struggles to find purpose, withdrawing from those who care for her as her dreams grow stronger.

Concerned by her reclusive nature, Elrond, the Half-elven, and an old family friend, seeks her out and is shocked to find her raising the dragon. Agreeing to help her, he assumes she will eventually let it go, but their shared bond over the creature slowly rekindles their long-lost friendship-and something deeper. As shadows loom once again over Middle-earth, Melisane and Elrond must navigate the growing darkness, all while facing the uncertain futures that their hearts and dreams reveal. Will their newfound connection withstand the threats closing in, or will the starlight of their bond be consumed by the shadows? _ "You sleep coiled; tightly wound. Hands made fists beneath the pillows, clenched above cotton sheets. You are at war, even in your dreams, cenedril af fae nín. Let me help you."

Discordant Note | TBATE by TMKnightDev
162 parts Complete
(Part 1/3 of Discordant Note) (Part 2: Discordant Note: Crescendo | TBATE) Lady Dawn expected to die. After casting her soul to the wind, taking a one-in-a-million chance to escape the wretched dungeons of Taegrin Caelum, the once-caged songbird of the Asclepius wishes nothing more than to find her Hearth and warn them of the coming danger. Instead, she's found herself a shade, anchored to a young man who knows far too much-and with far less hope than she'd started with. Toren Daen, for his part, only wanted to make it home safely. Now he's in a world taken straight from the page, questioning what is real and what is fiction, and scrambling to make something worthwhile. And with his foresight, there's only one way that Toren can see to keep this new world safe: prevent the descent of the Legacy. But those in power will not make it easy: Nico Sever is in a league of power all on his own, and Arthur Leywin bears the burden of Fate a continent away. In this familiar-yet-not world of mana, monsters, and looming deities, any misstep along the roads of Alacrya and the High Sovereign's Dominion could lead to a Fate worse than death. But what is death to a phoenix? With a burning secret in his mana core, knowledge of the future, and a maelstrom of fears and questions, Toren might just survive to be more than what Lady Dawn expected him to be. He might just survive to waylay the encroaching tide of death in the proxy war between raging asura clans. More than all of that, he might just live. (Semi-SI into Alacrya, character-focused story. Part 1 Complete.) (Cover art commissioned by @_aphora_)
Threads of the Midnight Forge by Fuerton
18 parts Ongoing
In the shattered world of Cynosura, where the threads of reality unravel and twist into chaos, the remnants of civilization cling to fragile zones of stability. The legendary Midnight Forge-once a beacon of unity and balance-has been destroyed, its collapse birthing a fractured land teeming with dangerous anomalies, broken alliances, and whispers of rebellion. Caelum Veyra, a haunted wanderer with no memory of his role in the Forge's fall, struggles to piece together fragments of his past while navigating a world that teeters on the edge of collapse. Drawn to his name is a destiny he neither understands nor desires, and the ghostly threads of a forgotten connection to the enigmatic Lyric Corren pull him toward an uncertain fate. As he journeys through Cynosura's volatile landscapes, Caelum discovers he is not only pursued by the shadow of his past but by powerful factions vying to control the fractured Tension. Among these forces is Sable Velar, the magnetic leader of the Threadbound Choir, whose vision of restoring the Forge threatens to erase the beauty of chaos and individuality. Her unrelenting mission brings her into conflict with Auren Thalor, a disciplined monk who believes balance lies in coexistence, not control. Caught in the crossfire, Caelum must decide whether to embrace the truth of his connection to the Forge or let the world's fragile threads unravel entirely. With its intricate tapestry of magic, philosophy, and human frailty, Threads of the Midnight Forge weaves a tale of redemption, identity, and the high cost of power. As alliances form and fracture, and the Tension continues to break, the choices of a few will shape the destiny of all. Will the shattered threads of Cynosura find harmony, or will the weave of reality come undone forever?
☽✧ Lost In Prythian ✧☾ {Rhysand x OC} by LadyLumy
14 parts Ongoing Mature
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.
