[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.

A Court of Fire and Chaos (English Version)
Fifty years in the shadows. The Cauldron awakens. And from the ashes of the world that burned, two forgotten souls will discover that freedom is forged in fire, and paid for in blood. For half a century, two young women were kept in Hybern's dungeons, forgotten prisoners of a war that stole their lives. When they finally escape, the world they knew has turned to dust, and a new war rises on the horizon. Without a home, without allies, carrying scars that time will never heal, they seek refuge among those who once turned their backs on their people. Between distrust and pain, something unexpected blooms: loyalty, friendship, love. And the unsettling discovery that belonging can hurt more than being lost. Because freedom is not the end of the battle, it's where the true war begins. And sometimes, you must walk through fire to find a home in the ashes. Not every prison has chains. Not every freedom has wings. But every flame can be reborn. ~~ *ACOFAC's English Version *Only post here and on Ao3 (under the same username).

Shadow of the cursed
In the heart of Prythian, an ancient curse stirs from the shadows-infecting wild beasts and threatening to unravel everything. What begins as a sickness soon reveals a darkness far more devastating, spreading faster than anyone could have feared. Into this growing storm steps Elara, a woman cloaked in mystery and danger. She crosses into the Night Court undetected, carrying a magic feared and forgotten: the power to control blood itself. Once a symbol of strength in her dying bloodline, her gift now threatens to destroy everything she's fought to protect. Haunted by a tragic past and bound by a desperate promise to her lost village, Elara embarks on a dangerous quest to find an ancient relic buried deep within the Night Court. But her power is unstable, fueled by pain and fear, and with every step, it threatens to consume her-and the fragile peace of the realm. Drawn unwillingly into the Inner Circle's dangerous world, Elara faces impossible choices: to save those she's come to care for or surrender to the darkness whispering through her veins. With enemies closing in and trust fraying at the edges, one thing is clear-Elara's fate will decide whether the curse consumes them all... or finally breaks. ||Azriel x OC|| Updates will be slow but let me know what you think about it already!
