- A short story about Ta'Millian
Ta'Millian was the kind of girl who walked into a room and shifted energy. Chocolate skin that glowed even on her worst days, eyes deep enough to drown in, and a laugh that made even the coldest hearts crack a smile. But behind that beautiful face, behind the strength she wore like perfume, was a girl who once believed in forever-because her imagination convinced her she'd found it.
It started like every love story. Smooth words. Late-night calls. Him telling her she was different. That her smile was home. That her body? Sacred. And he worshipped it like it was gospel. But somewhere between the texts that slowed down and the promises that dried up, she started seeing the truth she didn't wanna face.
The sex? It was fire, yeah. But it wasn't love. It was a high. A distraction. Something to make her ignore the fact that her intuition had been screaming while her imagination kept painting pretty pictures of a future that was never gonna happen.
And when 2024 hit, it hit hard. Loss after loss. Betrayals that cracked her open. Days she couldn't get out the bed. Nights she felt like disappearing.
Until one night, staring in the mirror with tears dried on her cheeks, she whispered to herself:
"That girl ain't me no more."

Star Child
"She was a child born of darkness and light, the union of two different worlds. A true child of Night, they called her- born at midnight under a full moon during the longest night of the year. But she was more than the darkness she was born into. Just like the stars shine against the night sky, so she shines with a light that pours onto everyone she loves. She is the light in my darkness, the star in my sky. She is everything to me. My mate. My equal. My queen." Willow was a unique case- the child of a High Fae mother and an Illyrian father, she was born with a power never before seen, a power that earned her the nickname of "The Banshee". Willow always felt caught between worlds, never really belonging anywhere. In Windhaven, she was a cross-breed female with wings broken in a childhood accident. In Velaris, she was first a latchkey kid of a broken mother and then the sole guardian of her little sister. But when she's kidnapped in the middle of the night and taken to another Court, she knows her quiet life in Velaris is over. Rhysand was a broken male- he'd never truly recovered from what he went through Under The Mountain. But as the High Lord of the Night Court, he puts on a brave face, showing strength to his Court when he feels only a step away from falling apart. But as Hybern starts to march on Prythian, Rhysand puts more and more on his shoulders until it feels he might crumble. Not feeling safe enough to share his pain with anyone, not even his Inner Circle, he continues to feel more isolated and alone. But then everything changes during the High Lord's meeting. Everything changes when he sees that white-haired female wearing a golden mask. And just as the stars and moon bring light to the night sky, so Willow would come to bring the light back into Rhysand's life. And maybe, just maybe, she would help save all of Prythian in the process.
