Summary
“The Fellowship is to set out in December,” Lord Elrond explained, “I require your services as a Messenger to travel with them, until you’ve passed the mountains, or until Gandalf sees fit to release you.”
Panic coiled in Rhosynel’s chest, as two things became apparent. Firstly, that she could easily end up roped into travelling further on the whims of a wizard. And secondly, that if word reached her employer that she point-blank refused Lord Elrond, she’d be kicked from the Messenger services.
In other words, Rhosynel was trapped.*
Working as a messenger Rhosynel is accustomed to travelling the length and breadth of Middle Earth, so carrying a missive to the village of Bree should have been easy. But this simple task sets off a chain of events, entangling her in the lives of strangers and the fate of Middle Earth, which leaves her fighting to keep both them, and herself, alive.
Completed!

Summary
Commuting back and forth between Boston and Montreal is boring, flight delays are even worse. Even MORE boring are the amount of dick pics on a certain app as Ilya's looking for some entertainment. But then there is Shane, Shane is only 788 meters away. Shane is a bottom (allegedly) and Shane has the most aggressively straight profile Ilya has ever seen on a gay hookup app. He just needed to make sure he wasn't a straight who lost his way, that was the only reason he messaged him and agreed to meet him in an airport lounge.
It was the only reason they kept meeting up after that, just to make really really really sure he wasn't straight.
Shane is a Captain in this universe too.

Summary
She feels suddenly like she's suffocating.
But Cassian is back to examining the walls, running his hand over the designs. "She really did cover everything, didn't she? Made beauty wherever she could."
"She needed it." Nesta's chest feels tight. "Painting kept her sane."
"And your father's carvings." Cassian says, that warm tone still in his voice. "Elain's garden. It's remarkable, really, how your family found ways to create even in the worst circumstances. To hold onto hope and beauty when everything else was falling apart."
The words hit her like a blow.
Hope. Beauty. Creation.
She looks around the cottage, trying to see what he's seeing. Evidence of life, of joy carved out of misery. Proof that the Archerons survived, that they remained human even as they starved.
Proof that Feyre and Elain and her father existed here, but nowhere in this miserable hovel is there any evidence of Nesta.
—————
After visiting the decrepit cottage where she grew up, Nesta is forced to confront a painful truth. Spiraling from the realization that she’s absent from her own history, Cassian tries to right the wrongs that have been done to her.

Summary
A "dark" romantasy AU
When Feyre gets stolen away from their cabin by a beast, and Nesta's father and sister have no memory of it, Nesta follows her baby sister herself over the wall. But instead of rescuing Feyre, Nesta gets kidnapped by Rhysand and tricked into a bargain for Feyre's life. She has to rely on her wits to survive Prythian and this evil faerie's mysterious intentions, first Under the Mountain and then the Night Court.
Rhysand can't rationalize why he stole a snarling mortal girl away from the Spring Court. But when he drags her Under the Mountain, first to toy with her and then for some real companionship while in Amarantha's claws, he begins to realize that this odd mortal is more important to him than he wishes her to be.

Summary
Nesta had lived with pain all her life. She thought she knew how to keep it controlled, secret, afraid to burden her family even more with her inadequacy.
Then, she was thrown into the Cauldron.
Now, try as she might, the stolen fire that rages inside her only makes things worse, until she can no longer maintain the stone-faced mask that had gotten her through the first two decades of her life.
When her truth comes to light, how will her family perceive her weakness? And more importantly, how will it affect an already tenuous relationship with a certain Illyrian?
An AU in which Nesta has secretly lived with chronic pain her whole life, only to have it exacerbated by the powers she took from the Cauldron.
