[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.

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.

|| 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.

Eternal: Azriel by emwritesbookstories
42 parts Complete Mature
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.

Nightmares don't just happen in the dark, but in this story, they do. A female from the Court of Nightmares ends up mixing with the Inner Circle. WARNING: Sexual assualt (mild non-consensual groping) This is a mess, first 3 chapters having been written months before the rest of it, apologies for the messy plot and flip flopping characters. Please read my other stories instead. No seriously read this with a pinch of salt, it is seriously not my best written work... like I've written better essays about books I've never read at 2 in the morning cause I procrastinated for school.
These Cruel and Wicked Things | ACOTAR by xghoulxgirlx
35 parts Ongoing Mature
・❥・ She thought maybe she was okay with being wicked. That she was so angry, so desperately, bitterly livid. She thought perhaps there were pieces of this world that deserved her wrath. Her wickedness. Some souls who deserved to be snuffed out. ・❥・ Cirsei Silvaeus had run away from home. A "home" that was much more akin to a prison, a crypt within which she would waste away to nothing. Cirsei's father, Valentine, had been keeping her under his thumb ever since the death of her mother. Regarding her as little more than an object, a piece of property which could turn him a profit, he subjected her to wretched, unspeakable cruelty. Her escape had been impulsive, fueled by the desperation harbored only by those who were fighting for their lives. She does not make it very far before crashing into an Illyrian general who, to her dismay, pulls her into his world. Surrounded by new faces, a new city, and a new sense of uncertainty about her future, Cirsei feels she has traded one prison for another. She will come to learn that this could not be further from the truth - but this lesson is not without its growing pains. Takes place shortly before Under the Mountain.
