The war is over-but peace brings its own kind of battle.
In the wake of Prythian's great war, Velaris is still healing-its people, its High Lord and Lady, and the deep, quiet grief left in the cracks of a hard-won freedom. Winter Solstice approaches, promising light and joy in the darkest days of the year, but for Feyre Archeron and Rhysand, the season brings more than snowflakes and starlight. It brings memory, change, and the fragile hope of beginning again.
As Feyre immerses herself in traditions both old and new-painting stars, writing letters to the lost, and guiding her city toward light-Rhys grapples with the burdens of rebuilding. Political tensions stir among the Illyrians, and shadows still cling to Azriel's wings and Cassian's silence. Together, Feyre and Rhys must navigate the tender balance between honoring the past and embracing the future-not only as leaders, but as mates, as friends, and as two souls still discovering how to be whole.
Told through alternating points of view, A Court of Starlight and Snow is a 34-chapter fanfiction that weaves heartache, healing, and hope into a richly atmospheric tale set during Solstice in Velaris. With appearances from the Inner Circle, quiet moments of romance, and emotional introspection from both Feyre and Rhys, this story explores what comes after the war-when the world is quiet, and you are left with nothing but love, guilt, and the courage to move forward.
Perfect for fans who love:
-Post-war emotional fallout and recovery arcs
-Found family and deep friendship bonds
-Cozy winter worldbuilding in Velaris
-Intimate character exploration
-Soft romance and healing love
-Nostalgic callbacks to canon moments
In a city where starlight never dies, even grief can become a lantern-and winter, a beginning.
