The Softness of Flames by Goosey_Jossip
Fandoms: A Court of Thorns and Roses Series - Sarah J. Maas
02 Nov 2025
Tags
Summary
Everyone always said the Cauldron loved Elain. As it turns out, it loved her so much it stole her heart.
And now it is up to her – and Lucien, the mate she never asked for – to get it back.
Set in late summer after the events of A Court of Silver Flames, Elain and Lucien travel together across Prythian to the Mortal Realm, through Spring Court and finally to Day. But when getting a heart back entails so many risks, is it even really what Elain wants?
This is a story of healing and redemption, the importance of choices, and power beyond magic or brute strength - the kind of power it takes to be joyful and gentle in a cruel world.
“Yes there is the mating bond, Elain. But… there is also my heart.”

A Court of Exiles by Notquiteright for Hekate05

Summary
"She should trust Feyre’s instincts. She has saved both of them many times over, saved herself too. She should trust her. And yet her doubt, her guilt doesn’t abate. Imprisonment or death. Is that how drastic the situation has gotten? That these are the only two options left?"
Or: In which Elain Archeron stands up for her sister, and they choose the human lands over the House of Wind. Specifically, the Band of Exiles' manor. That they would get caught up in breaking Vassa's curse, and all that it entails was not part of the plan however.

A court of withered roses PART 1 (Anti-Villain Tamlin fic) by GoodLadChompher
Fandoms: A Court of Thorns and Roses Series - Sarah J. Maas

Summary
Tamlin, the high lord of spring has suffered. He lost his people, his sentries and his former fiance aided in the destruction of his court while her mate continues to goad him. He had spent months in his beast form trying to run away from the pain, from everything. He was tired but when he came back the high lord of the night court came back just to goad and insult him once more. He wanted to grieve but the night lord wouldn't let him and his mercy died that day.
The night lord once told him he deserved to rot alone, to wither away but what about his tormentor who's hands are stained with the blood of innocents. That semeed hardly fair. Tamlin wanted revenge and he won't betray his morals to achieve it. The night court called him a monster, let him prove it. Set after ACOSF & HOFAS
My first ever fic! Inspired by a few k-dramas and some game of thrones politics.
This is slow burn revenge so it'll take awhile to reach the revenge part.

Summary
“Above all shadows rides the Sun
and Stars for ever dwell:
I will not say the Day is done,
nor bid the Stars farewell.”
― J.R.R. TolkienIt's been ten years since Lucien's mating bond was rejected, and he's moved on as best as he could -- soaking up every moment he can with the human woman he knows he can't have forever, helping his friends rebuild their courts post-war, and above all, avoiding the Night Court and any reminders of Elain Archeron. But when he and Tarquin finally convince the High Lords to meet and discuss equality initiatives for lesser fae, and the human refugees still living in Prythian, he'll have to face old ghosts of the past.

Summary
"Rhys," Feyre says eventually. Her mate meets her eyes immediately, his gaze swimming with some mystery emotion. "Rhys, he can't go back there."
"Let's not be too hasty now, darling." Rhys replies smoothly, his expression unreadable. "Vassa and Jurian were far too quick to blame us."
"I know that. That we're not entirely to blame. But even so. We can't send Lucien back to Spring."
---
When Lucien shows up in the Human Lands dangerously wounded, the Night Court rush to provide aid. What they're not prepared for, however, is to be told that it's their fault.
---
OR: the inner circle get a taste of their own medicine, à la band of exiles, and feyre finally sees the error of her ways (because the feyre i know would be horrified to learn lucien was being hurt by tamlin)

Summary
Things in the Human Lands are not as Elain remembered them, especially now as a high fae. Needing some time away from Velaris for a while, Elain finds herself in the manor of the Band of Exiles, making quick friends with the resurrected general and cursed queen (while also discovering her one-on-one time with her mate is not as miserable as she thought). But on a short trip out into the woods for a few ingredients she needs, Elain finds herself captured and at the mercy of a group of humans. But what neither she nor the human men really understand is just what happens when you try to hurt a male’s mate; Lucien Vanserra’s, no less…
(Or, in simpler terms, Elain is captured, Lucien is feral to find her, and there’s comfort afterwards)

Summary
Elain was going to make him say it. She was going to pry the answer from him, from deep inside in that place he kept the things he was not always ready to admit.
“Because I still l-” Lucien faltered under her caustic glare like a coward. He could not fully own up to what he felt, what he never stopped feeling, even for a single second. “I still care for you, Elain.”
“Weird,” She mused, tracing her elegant fingers around the rim of the tequila bottle. “Because in a lot of those songs, you make me sound like the villain."
