    Summary

    There is more than meets the eye in the city of Velaris. Magic lays hidden in plain sight, recognized only by wielders, the rest of the citizens ignorant to the supernatural goings on in the city.

    Elain is a confident magic wielder, using her powers of Sight and earthwork to make a living as a fortune teller, living a simple, peaceful life despite the recent heartbreak she has endured. Azriel is an aloof financial manager at a business firm, adamantly opposed to anything that cannot be unequivocally proven by the scientific method and rational thought.

    But when he meets Elain, Azriel's commitment to rationality begins to fray as she slowly awakens something that has been crawling beneath his skin since childhood. Something he has spent years denying, refusing to remember, refusing to explore. And when Elain meets Azriel, her Sight begins to show her flashes of her past life, a past life where something terrible and tragic happened, and she fears history will repeat itself. Their immediate and persistent attraction and draw to each other creates turbulence in both of their lives when their heads and their hearts cannot align, and their togetherness forces them both to confront pasts they would rather forget.

    Summary

    Something clicks in place, some last tether to rational thought and he forces the question out.

    "What kind of wine is this?"

    Her cheeks are burning scarlet now as she whispers.

    "It's not wine," she says. "Not exactly."

    Tired and sullen, Azriel steals away to the townhouse for a night alone with his thoughts and a mysterious bottle of wine. Little does he know, the wine has some very curious properties. 

    Elriel Sex Pollen fic, that's the tweet.

    Summary

    Good intentions went wrong on the night of Solstice, and ever since, Elain and Azriel have struggled through days that felt darker and colder without the joy of the secret love that grew between them. Yet for both of them, a tiny glimmer of hope remains, bright and unyielding.

    Peculiar, clouded visions and a visitor from another world leave Elain and Azriel with little choice but to face each other after keeping apart for so long.

    Elain confronts her self doubt as she pursues her newfound ambition to help others through the use of her sight, while Azriel is desperate to mend the rift between them, knowing that to do so means he must shove his feelings of worthlessness aside and truly open his heart to her.

    Together, they will see a prophecy brought to life, though what follows is far from what anyone had expected.

    Summary

    Almost a year after the events in A Court of Silver Flames, Elain tries to figure out how she fits into the Night Court, wanting to find a purpose. She is plagued by visions but afraid to share them, not knowing if she can trust them or not. Her sisters are anxious to help her, one thinking Lucien might be the answer and the other wanting to push her to expand her horizons. When more of her gifts are uncovered, she jumps at the chance of serving the court in new ways.

    Azriel has spent the last year under a cloud of frustration. Frustrated that he can’t get more information about what is happening in Prythian and the continent, and even more frustrated that his feelings for Elain will not go away. He has an order from his High Lord, but it gets harder and harder every day to follow the command. He continues to wonder how he can feel so drawn to a female who belongs to another.

    Summary

    Elain Archeron is a hymn. In the dim light of the city’s forgotten streets, she looks misplaced, an angel who took a wrong turn and ended up in a world built from smoke and ink.

    Azriel doesn’t believe in angels. He inks the night into skin. But when she crosses into his orbit, something shifts. There’s nothing permanent about her. Nothing solid to hold. Only music that won’t leave his head, and the haunting ache of someone he was never meant to touch.

    It's the curse of shadows to kneel for the light.
    And some angels were born to be worshipped.
