[ACOTAR | Cassian/OC]

Elyssia is born among the cruelty of the Illyrian Mountains and, after finding solace at the hands of an otherworldly creature, she dedicates her life to give her fellow females and their wings the safety she was blessed with - only to have it all shattered by the well-meaning but, in her eyes, clueless aid of the Night Court's general and the Inner Circle he's a part of.

Life, and the clusterfuck of drama Cassian brings with him, would've been easier to navigate if the mate bond hadn't snapped the second they crossed eyes.... or if he didn't have a lover at home he refuses to part with.

Now Elyssia has been thrown into the thick of heartache and unavoidable longing while trying to remain faithful to her self-imposed duties and keeping her distance from the found-family of the mate that doesn't want her.

Add in a mix of High Lords drama with their unresolved issues, weird demonic creatures breaking havoc all over Prythian, and seductive High Fae that have no issue expressing interest in what Cassian so carelessly dismissed, and you have the making of the perfect recipe for absolute disaster.

Mated to Etera, the Shifter. Both of them are loyal to their court and their family. Both of them dream of a future that feels so impossible and far away, that when it is within grasp, it scares them more. Part 2: During Freya, daughter to Tamlin. Her life is limited to a circle of white stone. Her hair itches, and her dreams are filled with mountains and wings. Betrothed to a male decades older, a marriage everyone around her prepares her for. Part 3: Present Freya has known pain for a long time now and Orion is tasked to look after her. Orion, the outlier, the one that doesn't truly fit in. Freya's identity is questioned, all that she knows about the world starts to break apart. Leaving her to lean on Orion in more ways than one.

Orion needs to face his desires. Years of avoidance come to an end. Death returns one more time. And maybe this is not an end, but a beginning. Cover art by me.

A Monster. That's what they'd always called her. Sasha wasn't delusional enough to think they were wrong. Made of shadow and suffering, raised in cold and cruelty, she was every inch the monster the world feared her to be. She tried not to hate herself for it, for the way this world had forced her to be. Maybe she did not deserve this life she'd been given, the life that had been forced on her, but she'd been through too much to give it up now. _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ ACOTAR oc insert Multiple(?) romances Plot centred Started : 7/10/24 Ended : ...

Fated [Nyx Archeron x OC] by par13ker
16 parts Ongoing Mature
(This is a sequel to another fic of mine called Betrayed. You don't have to read it to understand, but I highly recommend it!) Eudora Damaris believes that everything is destined by fate. She was born to amazing, loving parents who'd give the world to keep her safe. But she soon starts to realize that not everything that's been kept from her is for her safety and well being. It took one night of winter solstice in the Night Court to become hooked. Not just in the beautiful city but the friends she's met in turn every time she visits. It's one night after countless visits she runs into the Heir of the Night Court, and there is something different about him. Alluring. Enough so that one visit isn't enough. She wants to see Nyx Archeron more than just on the night of Winter Solstice. But meeting Nyx is just the beginning. Though fate brought them together, a prior rivalry between their mother's lures the pair into a hole of secrecy, pain, and betrayal. Eudora and Nyx don't wish to be caught up in the past, but that's the only way they are able to see a future for each other. The challenge is staying true to each other along the way. ~~~~~~Warning ⚠️~~~~~~~~~~ Spoilers: Takes place after ACOSF - strong language - I don't own ACOTAR or any of the characters.

DISCLAIMER: I do not own any of the A Court of Thorns and Roses characters or concepts, they belong solely to Sarah J. Maas. Sylvia is my OC though.

Illidan's Pet {A Mature-Rated Illidan x Maiev Fanfiction} by TheRealDesastr
31 parts Complete Mature
Note: This is an erotica. NSFW fanfiction. BDSM, with Illidan as dominant, and Maiev as submissive. Yes, I know usually people think of the roles as reversed, but I enjoy shipping them like this. To be honest, this story has so much action and story in it as well that it might not be able to count as strictly an erotica. You be the judge of that, but it does have a lot of sex. Join me in a journey after the Burning Legion was defeated, and most thought that Illidan was gone for good. Maiev, now without a major purpose, fought in the great war against the Horde, but soon that ended too at yet another stalemate. A few years of cold silence have settled, perhaps as tension grows against the ever-rising void lord threat. However, an old enemy/ally has returned from the dead. Or, well, what everyone thought was dead. As it turns out, Illidan was successful in jailing Sargeras and has returned home. Maiev is unsure how to handle this, of course. Little does she know that she's destined to become his little pet... Timeline: This is being written mid-BFA. Events in this book won't follow canon for BfA anytime after patch 8.1.5, because I didn't know what happened yet when writing this. Therefore, the branching point of this universe is that particular patch. Additional Note: This was written as an experiment to see how much traffic I would get as compared to other works. Originally it was on a different account. I've moved it to this one now, though. Feel free to judge me all you want, but hey, sometimes fanfiction can be fun to write/read.
A Court Of Past And Present by jaquly
14 parts Complete
|| Highest ranking: #9 in protection ⚔️ #1 in A Court Of Thorns and Roses🌹 #7 in Sarah J Maas 🧝🏼‍♀️ || "What?" Rhys asked, frowning at Mor. She shrugged, "by the looks of it, your going to be a father soon." Darkness exploded through the room. Cutting out my vision, it seeped through the windows, blocking out any visible light. Calloused hands pressed down against my shoulders, holding me in place. Soothing talons scraped down my mental barriers, trying to pry them open. I could feel his presence through the dark, feel the warmth of his body as he stood in front of me. The darkness subsided to uncover the violet stare of Rhysand eyes gazing down at me. Talons scraped at my mental walls once more before he spoke down our bond, Is this true? I looked to my mate, "Yes." He receded a few steps, stumbling over his words, "how?" "Well, when a mummy and a daddy love each other very much-" "HOW?" He snapped, cutting me off. Sighing, I relaxed my wings, exhausted from today's events, and let them slide to the floor. "A witch put a spell on me," I muttered, unable to make eye contact, "one which I think changed the year I was living in." *** Feyre is the Hight Lady of the Night Court. Living out her life, she thought it was going to be a prefect happily ever after with her only struggles being breaking the news to her mate about her pregnancy. Little did she know the darkness looming within the background, waiting to strike. When a witch appears on her door step, the last thing she would of expected was to be cursed to another year, before she ever existed. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ This is a seperate novella spinoff of the acotar series. (DON'T NEED TO READ SERIES IN ORDER TO READ THIS BUT WILL HELP GREATLY IN UNDERSTANDING SOME SETTINGS, REFERENCES AND CHARACTER DEVELOPMENTS)
