Rhaella is human. Azriel is Fae. The bond doesn't care.
For three years, a mortal girl survived slavery by staying invisible and hiding the one secret that could kill her.
She has magic.
Azriel spent lifetimes waiting for his mate. And when he finds Rhaella, human, starved, tortured, barely breathing, the bond snaps anyway, devastating and absolute.
And he makes a choice that changes everything.
He burns her world down, slaughters everyone who hurt her, and refuses to let her go. Now a mortal girl must navigate freedom that feels like a new cage, a bond she never asked for, and an immortal male whose devotion terrifies her as much as it heals her.
While Azriel learns that saving someone and healing them are two different things, and that sometimes love means giving back the choice he took away.
In the dungeons of men, she learned what mercy costs.
In the ruins of his faith, he learned what devotion demands.
Some wounds don't heal with magic. Some require time, patience, and a mortal heart teaching an immortal warrior how to live, not just survive.
He would burn the world for her.
She will teach him how to live in what remains.

A Court of Shadows and Darkness
Arriving unannounced in Velaris, she finds herself unwelcome, particularly upon the revelation of her true nature. Yet, her arrival serves a purpose, and she remains undaunted. Her eyes are set on the spy master, aware that he plays a crucial role in the future, intertwined with the vision for which the Suriel sacrificed everything. Author's note: I wrote this fanfiction for two reasons. I found the shadowsinger fascinating and for a men to love a women for 500 years, I believed he had deserved a strong FMC, who would do anything for him. Secondly, my feminist spirit was ignited after reading numerous fantasy novels and realizing the lack of female characters who truly understood their own worth and power. I yearned to read about a woman like that, to witness her presence within the pages of a book. I firmly believe that women possess immense strength and capability, and embracing these qualities is something that can make us truly lovable. I wanted to challenge the traditional gender roles often seen in fantasy literature and showcase a female protagonist who was not only strong and independent, but also vulnerable and complex. I wanted to explore themes of love, sacrifice, and self-discovery through the lens of a powerful female character who defied societal expectations. Through my fanfiction, I aimed to create a story that celebrated the strength and resilience of women, while also highlighting the importance of self-love and empowerment. I wanted to inspire readers to embrace their own inner strength and recognize the value of their own voices. Ultimately, my fanfiction was a labor of love, a tribute to the power and beauty of women, and a testament to the idea that we are all capable of greatness, no matter our gender. I hope that my story resonates with readers and encourages them to embrace their own strength and worth, just as my main character does. Azriel deserves a goddess ❤️Complete

A Court of Spirits and Vicious Shadows - Azriel🔞
I vow to stand guard over your legacy, to guard your throne. I vow to carry your warmth and ruin. I kneel to no one, but you, my Seraphira." -Azriel, Shadowsinger and spymaster of the Night Court. She was meant to be nothing-a forgotten girl sold to a court of bones and sand, silenced before her power could ever bloom. But Seraphira was never meant to be quiet. Beneath the jeweled veils and gilded cruelty of her desert cage, she hides a secret. A magic older than any spell, born not to create, but to unmake. A reaper, forged by the stars to end what should never have been born. When two warriors from the Night Court arrive-Azriel, cloaked in shadows, and Cassian, fury given form they come seeking diplomacy. Trade. And something more. A weapon. A girl. A key. What they find instead is a soul on the edge of awakening, and a bond quietly thrumming between her and the shadowsinger who is determined to save her from a marriage with the cruel, horrific High Lord's son. But fate is rarely kind. And nothing that blooms in the dark is ever left untouched. Now, Seraphira must learn to trust again. To fight again, to feel once more. And maybe-just maybe-remember the shadows that once wrapped around her like a promise. Even if it kills her. +Disclaimer+ I own none of the ACOTAR characters, world, or any work done by Sarah J Maas, this story has some original characters I created, but thus further- this is just a fantasy for fun work and I own no rights or anything to do with any ideas original to Sarah J Maas. ~TW~ This is a mature 18+ dark fantasy romance, coming from the depths of my dark mind. This story will have attempted SA and off page, abuse, crude language and heavy sexual themes. There will be violence on page, death, obsession and possession. Blood play, knife play, gore, torture, suicidal thoughts (briefly)
A Court of Tempest and Twilight (Bat Boys x OC)
Arya knew three things with absolute certainty: 1. Keep her identity a secret. 2. Keep the wings hidden. 3. Absolutely do not get tangled up with the Night Court. She has since broken all three. In her defense, nobody told her the Night Court came with three mates, a grim dog with opinions, and a prophecy older than the continent itself. Also in her defense, the last time anyone saw her she was six months old, so most of this is technically not her fault. A full ACOTAR rewrite - OC-centric, polyandry (OC X Rhys & Cassian & Azriel), slow burn, yearning, anti-Inner Circle, Virgin Bat Boys. Ancient lore. Plot twists. Therapy for everyone who's lived long enough to need it. Best Rankings: #1 Rhys #1 Azriel #1 Cassian #1 ACOTAR #1 ACOTAR Fic #1 ACOTAR AU #1 Rhysand x OC #1 Cassian x OC #1 Azriel x OC
The Gods We Can Touch |Aemond Targaryen x Niece!Reader|
The older twin of Prince Jacaerys Velaryon, you were a picture of the maiden, untouched and untainted by man's sins. At least, that was what Alicent Hightower believed when she held you in her arms moments after her old friend's labors. You were her shining light, her dream. Though you were never hers, she believed you were meant to be. What will become of you as time passes and the Queen's shining light grows within the blackened darkness? Will her eldest son's morbid fascination with the light burn the realm? Or will her second son's obsession with the only daughter of Rhaenyra Targaryen change the course of the Seven Kingdoms as we know it? "I have outlasted all desire, My dreams and I have grown apart; My grief alone is left entire, The gleamings of an empty heart. The storms of ruthless dispensation Have struck my flowery garland numb, I live in lonely desolation And wonder when my end will come." ☆☆☆☆ All House of the Dragon/A Song of Ice and Fire warnings apply, but I will put specific ones with each chapter. However, there will be depictions of childhood sexual assault and the trauma response/coping mechanisms that can stem from it. You've been warned. The reader does have a name and the typical Targaryen/Strong features, but other than that, the descriptions are vague.
A Song of Faithless Shadows
Gwyneth had always felt connected to her faith, a higher power presiding over her. That faith had shaken that devastating day those years ago, the day that went on to haunt her every nightmare for years to come. She's still trying to come back from it, to not only restore her faith in life and love, but her faith in herself. The sanctity of her spirit- she prayed for resolve. Every punch was a prayer. Every mile was a hymn. Until her knuckles bled and her knees gave. Azriel had been surrounded by darkness his whole life, a poison on his world, on his being. He exercised restraint in his every waking moment, banishing that darkness within himself. Some guessed of the strain it put on him, but no one knew the extent of it, how deep his scars ran. It was better this way, he was sure. He had always thought that if there were a higher power- which he wholly doubted- such deities must loathe him to have burdened him such darkness. He hadn't much faith in the gods anyway, much less faith that he could sway their opinion on him. But Gwyneth and Azriel did have one thing in common: the quiet fight within themselves. They only knew one way: to go about it alone, couldn't fathom letting another in. But there's a magic in finding someone who is your equal but opposite, something transforming. And frankly, Gwyneth and Azriel could both use a little magic. All characters owned by SJM in the ACOTAR series. Story takes place after the events of ACOSF. Aligns with the events in my other fic: A Storm of Flames and Deceit. I haven't finished Crescent City, so this story takes place outside of the events of those books as well. CONTENT WARNING ⚠️ Mentions of r*pe, use of profanity, explicit content, sexual content, violence, torture, mentions of suicidal thoughts and depression, mentions of self harmComplete
Your Monsters Have Never Been More Beautiful : ACOTAR
We are but dust and shadows. Meant to crumble and fade but always there and forever to return. Monsters may be how the world sees us but that will never change how gentle your blood soaked claws have touched me. Or In which Alora Archeron fights with venom and fire to find out who she is when all she's ever known is bloodshed and hatred. She will shatter and break into a million pieces. She will hurt and bleed until there is nothing to give. She will hope and love until the stars die out. Without a master, without chains, without holding back. She will be. Freedom is at her fingertips, all she has to do is fight for it. Now if only she'd stop getting in her own way. What are we if not monsters? "I made myself into a monster for her, for them." "We're all monsters to someone." "There are worse monsters to serve." Main ship: Rhysand x OC x Azriel
A Court of Secrets and Desires - Book 1
I don't NOT own any of the characters (other than my OCs) The places and people all belong to the creation of Sarah J Maas. !After ACOFAS! All drawings and/or images are NOT mine!
