In a realm where the turning of fate is etched in flame, Kaelith stands as a reluctant beacon of power. Separated from her kin at a tender age, she bears the "blessing" of fire-a gift and a curse all at once. Sold to House Valrian, she grows within its austere halls under the stern watch of its masters, her spirit tempered by trial and seared by hardship.

Beside her always is Rowan, Lord Valrian's son, whose presence is both a comfort and a challenge. Their lives intertwine, marked by unspoken bonds and shared struggles as they navigate the cruel tutelage of House Valrian. Together, they forge a friendship that is as fiery as their trials, full of unyielding strength and hidden vulnerabilities.

Kaelith's destiny leads her to the legendary Havencrest Games, where dreams and despair dance on the same edge. Here, she must embody the Champion's mantle, facing opponents who were once her sisters of circumstance. With each fire-forged battle, she struggles against the darkness within and the relentless expectations surrounding her.

Amidst this journey, the enigmatic Princeling steps into Kaelith's life, his intentions cloaked in mystery. His allegiance is uncertain, offering both new possibilities and dangerous uncertainties. The Princeling brings an unexpected twist to her path, weaving a complex dance of trust and rivalry that challenges her bond with Rowan.

In a contest where victory means ascension and survival means sacrifice, Kaelith must choose between the warmth of old ties, including her bond with Rowan, and the fiery ambition that could reshape her world. As the flames of fate converge, and with the Princeling's shadow looming ever closer, will she rise in the blaze or be consumed by the fire she wields?

☽✧ Lost In Prythian ✧☾ {Rhysand x OC} by LadyLumy
25 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: Warning: This fanfiction is purely self-indulgent, with long-winded introspection and a major, major slowburn romance. Read at your own risk lol. Also 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.

A deadly daggerman with the infamous Assassin Guild, she is one of the six killers serving the highest bidder in a city where secrets are currency, and betrayal is the norm. But when a new contract arrives-an assassination on the prince of Fastus, the richest and most powerful of the six magical Sila kingdoms-everything changes. The Sila kingdoms, thriving with their magic and wealth, have long turned their backs on the human lands, which are ravaged by poverty, war, and disaster.

Anjali is forced to go undercover within the walls of the Fastus kingdom. But the prince, Kal, is no fool. He quickly discovers who she is, and instead of ordering her death, he turns their cat-and-mouse game into a twisted battle of wills, a contest where each must outwit and outlast the other-whoever survives wins, but neither is ready for what's about to unfold. As Anjali navigates the glittering yet deadly world of court politics, she finds herself entangled in a web of lies, manipulation, and murder.

Anjali is torn between her loyalty to the Assassin Guild and her growing understanding of the Sila. Between a kingdom on the brink of collapse and a prince who seems to know her better than anyone else, Anjali must decide where her true allegiance lies-and if she can find a way to stop the destruction she was hired to unleash.

20 parts Ongoing
Daughter of Ash and Night In the vampire-ruled kingdom of Varneth, where humans are little more than pawns in a deadly game of power, Aliana Everan has always been nothing-an unwanted daughter, a shadow in her father's household, a stain upon his noble name. Born to a concubine and despised by her stepmother, she has spent her life enduring cruelty in silence. But when she is falsely accused of treason and sentenced to death, fate takes a dark turn. Instead of dying, she is bound by blood to the most feared man in the kingdom-Kaelith Veyne, the forsaken prince. The firstborn son of the vampire king, Kaelith should have been heir to the throne. But his mother was a witch-an unforgivable sin in Varneth. Branded as an outcast, he was cast aside in favor of his younger, purer brother. Yet, the magic in his veins makes him more powerful than any royal would dare to admit. Now, fate has tied them together-an unwanted human girl and a cursed prince. Thrown into the treacherous world of vampire politics, Aliana must learn to navigate a court that thrives on deception and bloodlust. As whispers of war stir in the shadows, she soon realizes that being Kaelith's mate does not mean protection-it means becoming a target. And as enemies close in from all sides, she must answer one question: Is Kaelith her salvation... or her doom? Betrayal. Blood. Power. A love that could bring a kingdom to its knees. This is the story of a girl who was meant to die, and the prince who was never meant to rule.
