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.

Hope Is A Dangerous Thing by ChelseaMorningGirl for Pumpkinspice_Lou
Fandoms: A Court of Thorns and Roses Series - Sarah J. Maas
27 Nov 2025

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.

Night Triumphant's Stolen Mortal by FreyjasCatChariot
Fandoms: A Court of Thorns and Roses Series - Sarah J. Maas
18 Aug 2026

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.

Heavy In Your Arms by ChelseaMorningGirl

Summary
"Excuse me," she manages, standing abruptly. The room tilts slightly, and she has to catch herself on the back of her chair.
"Are you alright?" Feyre is half out of her seat, concern etched across her features.
"Yes," she says. "I just need some air."
"You look pale," Cassian says quietly. He's watching her with those sharp hazel eyes that see too much. "Maybe you should—"
"I said I'm fine." The words come out sharper than she intends, but another cramp is building and she needs to get out of here before she breaks down in front of them. Before they have more ammunition to use against her.
—————
Nesta's first fae cycle hits during a tense family dinner, but she doesn't understand what's happening to her body. Determined not to show weakness, she pushes through the pain until she collapses during training the next morning. When Cassian discovers the extent of her suffering, everything changes.

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.

Fandoms: Game Changers Series - Rachel Reid, Heated Rivalry (TV)
10 Jul 2026
Tags
Summary
Ilya Rozanov's life was busy, boring, and most of the time exhausting. He had too much to do, and usually not quite enough hours in the day to get it all done.
So when he starts visiting a new coffee shop and sees the cute barista—strong, handsome, genuine, and freckled—he notices. Without even planning for it, his routine changes when he can’t help but be fascinated by Shane’s long work hours, strict routines, and reckless disregard for his own safety.
Shane Hollander makes him Americanos. He blushes and stutters and stammers his way through their interactions. He’s wound so tightly that Ilya can’t help but want to unravel him.
There are no rules for this.

♥️Favorite (author is really cool and funny, too!)
💫Finished on 6/15/26.
🌟Eleventy billion magical stars!
🎶Playlist I made: https://open.spotify.com/playlist/2XAR4YMYYAd5t8QVE9YEGd?si=W6DCQkpwTYmZUFXTh4TNew&pi=7d5G2DqIQNSEN
📚The fiction that inspired me to take a Russian language course in the fall of ‘26 so I can learn to read Russian lit and poetry in their native language.
✍🏻Also inspired me to read Pushkin. And to appreciate broody Slavic men with poetry in their hearts.
🪆Taught me “toska”, a feeling I have known but never had a word for until this. (Ch 13?? Need to check)
📓Inspired me to seriously consider binding my first fiction. Working on the aesthetics… why did I take summer courses instead of just binding this?
📔Equally inspired to create my first commonplace book. Can’t draw for shit, but it’s fun to think about elements to add. (Again with the summer classes stealing my time…)
🔁Read multiple times. I could live here.

Summary
This fic is part of the darker side of my Season 5 recovery. It follows the HBO variation that Sansa was forced to marry and endure Ramsay. When a victorious, newly widowed King Stannis is told by the bannermen of the North that the condition of their fealty is that Sansa, now rid of Ramsay, becomes his queen, will he realize how difficult it will be for her to do her duty after what she has been through?
This is the first thing I started writing after Season 5, episode 6 started the heartbreak that I knew was only going to get worse. I wasn't going to post because I thought no Stansa fan would want to read a fic where what happened in that episode did happen. Still, I wanted to play with the idea of how Stannis might be able to eventually make Sansa comfortable with being his queen. My apologies to those who read and believe it doesn't make the grade in doing that. Many thanks to spittingFeathers and LAntoniou for saying they'd read it if I posted it!
These are GRRM's toys . . . just borrowing and not profiting!
