A Court of Daybreak and Darkness by Threads_of_moss_and_memory

Summary
His shadows ripple across the floor, twisting in the sunlight that sifts through the window, catching dust motes like tiny stars in their folds. Lucien hesitates, then holds out a hand. Slowly, almost reverently, the shadows flood toward him, shifting and curling around his fingers, up his arm. Azriel’s gaze traces him, noting the slight tilt of his lips, the way his eyelashes catch the sunlight, the faint flush that lingers on his cheeks.
Azriel smiles, a quiet, fond curl of lips. He lets the shadows drape over the fox, but restrains them to his arms and shoulders.
Lucien wriggles as one delves through his hair, tracing the curve of his ear and lingering there, teasing in its attention. A shiver passes over the emissary, and Azriel notices, quiet satisfaction pricking at the edge of his chest.
“Az”, Lucien hisses, a little breathily. “What…”
He likes the way Lucien says his name like that—soft, unguarded, the sharp edges worn down into something almost sweet. It settles low in his chest, warmer than it should.

A Court of Darkened Stars by Threads_of_moss_and_memory

Summary
He wants to soothe the fox, to comfort. He wants to snap his neck and watch as blood and viscera sprays the floor, as clever mismatched eyes go dark. But...
No, better to keep the clever fox alive.
The Night Lord crouches beside the emissary, slow, unhurried. Lucien does not look at him. His gaze remains fixed on the floor, on the dark sheen spreading between the cracks in the stone, as if the pattern there might rearrange itself into something less final.
Rhys catches the fox’s chin between his fingers and wrests it upward. Lucien blinks, and his eyes flash, wet and incandescent, turning his face slightly, trying to wrench free—not from Rhys’s grip, but from the gaze, from the scrutiny.
Rhys shifts his grip from Lucien’s jaw to his shoulder instead, drawing the bloodied fox inward in something that might, at a distance, resemble comfort.
It is not.--------------
AU where Feyre failed, (like she would have if not for the severe help from outside sources, lets be real), Rhys killed Amarantha, but he's supppper evil, and he chose to keep the courts under his rule.
Tam and Lucien ran. Rhysand kills Tamlin, but not his fox. and then it goes full Stockholm syndrome.Series

Summary
“Lord Helion,” Eris replied crisply. The infant in his arms let out another small whine and wriggled. “Congratulations are in order.”
Helion’s brow furrowed. Eris wasn’t implying-
“Your affair with my mother bore fruit,” Eris said bluntly, lacking much of the courtly manners he usually maintained. “We cannot keep him safe at the Forest House. Father has been suspicious for some time and… we fear what my father will do to him, if he ever receives proof of his parentage, which he’s sure to get with him in the same house. We can’t guarantee what his powers will be, or who he will resemble in time.”
Eris looked down at his brother, stroking his tiny red head with his thumb. His tone softened as he gazed at the tiny babe in his arms. “Mother has already named him Lucien. I know it would mean a lot to her if you would keep his name the same. She sent you a letter explaining everything,” he nodded at the low table in the middle of the arrangement of chairs, where a folded letter appeared with a pop. “She needs you to take Lucien. Protect him, raise him how she wishes she could raise him.”

Summary
Content Warning: implied reference to sexual assault, reference to injuries sustained during assault.
Concept: What if Cassian had done some personal growth before and during SF, allowing him to show up for Nesta with care, consideration, and respect? An alternate post-kelpie scene that gives Nesta the softness I think many of us wanted to see for her after what she experienced in the Bog of Oorid.
Part of WarriorAccountant's SS2025 gift!

Summary
Eris is playing a dangerous game, and he knows it.
His sorry excuse of a father was dead, his mother was safely tucked into Day Court with her mate, his brothers exiled or executed, and his half-brother wanted nothing to do with him. Or his mate.
Now even that would be a far stretch since his mate hadn't even known they were paired by the gods forsaken Cauldron, but he supposed it was a blessing if he ever had one.
Even when he had jeered at Tamlin for his stupidity that cursed his entire court with masks, he knew the one who'd truly been stupid enough to wear a mask his entire life was him. Because he did so voluntarily, and he didn't know how to make it stop.That was exactly what got him killed.
Or....
Eris Vanserra thought he was going to die by his mate's hand... and he was right.
He didn't think he needed to specify he thought he'd stay dead by his mate's hand too.

Summary
The Mother looked at Prythian and thought it in need of change. But change was difficult with immortal fae, too used to their own ancient ways. The Mother however, in her great power and wisdom, reached out for a rather unique and otherworldly solution…
That’s how Freya fell asleep in her own bed and woke up somewhere else.
She could anticipate many things - being kidnapped by a cult full of weirdos or having her organs sold on the black market.
What she didn't anticipate was being thrown into a body of the MC of a fantasy romance novel, especially one she had dropped after reading just the first few chapters.
What? She really did not like blonds.Series

Summary
Nesta hasn’t heard the sound of a voice—familiar or otherwise—in five days. Not since Cassian slammed the balcony doors behind him on his way out after a particularly nasty argument, wingbeats like thunder retreating into the clouds.
It seems that all she can do these days is anger the ones around her.
She hasn’t left the House of Wind in two weeks. She hasn’t been allowed to. Not since Rhysand told her, voice black with rage, “If it wasn’t for Feyre, if you weren’t my brother’s mate, I would have had you executed for what you did.”
Not since Amren said she belonged in one of the cells beneath the Court of Nightmares, because, “Some monsters don’t stay tamed, no matter how hard you try to civilize them.”
Not since Mor stared at her and said to her cousin, “I don’t know why you’re surprised, Rhys. You’ve always known she’s reckless and useless in equal measure. She never did become one of us.”
Not since Cassian stood in that same room and stayed silent.
_____
Even after the Mask is safely returned by Bryce, Nesta is confined to the House of Wind. Deciding enough is enough, she makes plans to sever something that was supposed to be her sacred forever.

Two Birds Locked in a Cage by Justadm

Summary
Feyre was not dumb. She couldn’t read, but she knew a fae when she saw one—so she lowered her bow. The shot was never taken, and the curse was never broken.
To save his people, Tamlin offered himself to Amarantha, bound as her consort Under the Mountain and forced to face Rhysand—once a friend, now an enemy—both trapped in the same gilded cage.
This is the story of Tamlin’s sacrifice. Of two birds locked in a cage. And of the hummingbird who will shatter its own beak if it means the raven can fly free.

Summary
In the midst of capturing a magical creature, Merlin is transported to a world where Camelot is home to thousands of magic-users. King Uther is nowhere to be found, Arthur is a prince again, and Queen Ygraine sits on the throne.
Merlin plans to get back to his own reality, to his own Camelot. To do that, however, he must have access to information that is inside a shielded castle protected by powerful sorcerers. The only way in is to participate in the Apprentice Exam and be an apprentice to a magic-user included in Camelot's court. Should be easy . . . right?
Conspiracies are afoot and Merlin just knows that, somehow, he is or will be involved. Just his luck.
