    Summary

    Nesta Archeron has always been a romantic. She loves old stories, doomed heroes, and wars already lost to history.

    Her favorite book tells the tale of Jurian—his rebellion, his love, his death.

    Reality, however, is far more cruel than any romance ever dared to be.

    Summary

    A collection of villain origin stories, from Amarantha's crippling loss of her sister or Keir's sole wish to be allowed outside, to Tamlin roaming his forests instead of ruling and Azriel being forced to serve as the Night Court's torturer. This is how villains are made, because no one ever starts that way.

    Summary

    Elain Archeron wants to disappear. This life she leads is a lie. She wants to forget and be forgotten. She wants to leave everything behind and lose herself all over again, on her terms this time.

    But she can't, and she knows it. There is nowhere for her to go where she won't be found. No one she knows who can help her.

    So, she stays.

    Eris Vanserra has everything he ever could have wanted. His father is dead. His mother is safe. His brothers leave him the fuck alone, his Court is flourishing under his rule, and his hounds are permitted inside the House.

    But he's bored. He misses it - the scheming and the lying and the thrill of being caught. No amount of illicit affairs with councillors' wives or politicking can scratch that itch.

    So, he quietly gets on with what he's supposed to like he always has and always will.

    The two of them have an argument on a balcony in the Forest House at a party. Everything started there, really.

    Summary

    One moment. All it takes is one singular moment to change the trajectory of fate. Following the events of Hybern, everything changes when Lucien instinctively grabs his mate—Elain Archeron—and brings her back to the Spring Court with Feyre and Tamlin.

    In the midst of war and ruin, Elain and Lucien will have to face the bond that connects them together if they hope to survive the unintended consequences. To do so, they’ll have to prevail through games of deceit, powerful forces of magic, and deadly enemies. And hope their hearts survive the journey.

    Summary

    “Archeron,” he says, when he’s close enough to count each individual hair in the fan of dark lashes. She goes still in that particular, feline way, gaze lifting to his like it’s unspooling from a reel. The slow recognition in her eyes does something ugly and sweet to him.

    “Hello Cassian,” she says, dry.

    “You look—” He stops. Beautiful is a word that feels to intimate. Too much like everything they’re not. “—like you’re on the hunt.”

    “I could say the same about you.” Her mouth tips.

    The music makes the floor vibrate under his boots. He’s aware of his hand—of the ring. Of his entire body thrumming. “Can I buy your next one?”

    “You can,” she says, considering him over the rim of her glass, “but I may refuse to drink it.”

    “Sounds a bit bratty, Nesta.”

    She hums. “What ever will you do about that?”

    ____

    When Cassian lets his family convince him that Nesta isn’t the right woman for him, he marries his safe choice. But cutting Nesta out of his life proves more difficult than he thought.

    Nesta promised herself she’d never become that woman. But letting go of the love of her life appears to be impossible. Until she meets someone with auburn hair and amber eyes.

    Summary

    Tamlin believed that the High Lord of the Night Court was a cruel, dangerous man who used his daemati powers to twist the minds of those around him, forcing their loyalty and lying to them about who the real enemy was. He believed Rhysand took Feyre against her wishes and planted lies in her head, turning her against him, against the outside world, even against her own family.

    It turns out, he was right.

    Summary

    I think Lorcan and Elide deserve their own version, so I wrote them one. This sets out to fill in the blanks in KoA after she saves him from the battlefield, as we were severely deprived of all those moments in between which WE KNOW they spent together. Mainly focusing on the nights spent together. Lorcan POV.

    ***
    “Do you think you can sleep?” he asked her, trying to divert her thoughts. She looked so tired.
    She nodded, and his heart exploded when she curled together in a tight ball next to him, scooted closer to his side and nuzzled her cheek against his shoulder. Her soft, small hand curled around his arm and she looked as if content to go to sleep right there, right that moment.

    Lorcan couldn’t speak, couldn’t think, could barely breathe. Could just lay there, stare down at her, and let her move into him like an iron thread wrapping around his spine. Just by existing, she had slipped behind all of his defenses and moved into his soul. She had stolen his heart for her own and he knew it was futile to ever get it back. And he knew he was completely, utterly at her mercy.

    Summary

    Can fate be unraveled?

    What happens when Elain Archeron stops following and chooses to lead? A ritual meant to free one cursed queen becomes something far greater-an unraveling that reaches beyond bonds, beyond curses, and into the heart of fate itself. What was once a calculated risk becomes an opportunity to shift not only her own destiny, but the future of everyone bound by her choices.

    Summary

    Elain had heard whispers of the parties held on Tarquin's pleasure barges. It was not uncommon for the ships to host visiting dignitaries for official, sedate affairs, but the smaller group on this particular voyage largely consisted of Tarquin's closest friends and courtiers. Many of them, who'd she'd been introduced to over the course of the Solstice festivities, were scattered about the barge in small groups now, some simply laughing over wine filled goblets made of the thinnest crystal, while others…

    Well, there was a reason Amren had smirked earlier as she'd warned Elain that the more intimate gatherings on the barges often led to intimacies of a different sort, many times with more than one or even two partners.

    Elain Archeron learns first hand exactly what happens on the Summer Court pleasure barges. Azriel finds a productive way to deal with his jealousy.

    Summary

    Over time, Dain Vanserra learned it was easier to be the villain. You didn’t have to try so hard once everyone already expected the worst. He could hurt and not feel it, could be the wolf in the woods and never have to wonder why no one wanted to come close.

    Still, every so often, he relapsed. Slipped up and tried to be good.

    That was how Dain Vanserra ended up with a wife.

    -

    From the Vault story about Dain, Beron's third son. Part of the Lady of Fire and Bloom Vanserraverse but can be read as a standalone (if you squint).

    Summary

    Sometimes, even if you’re already perfectly happy with your life, the Cauldron snatches it away from you and plops you down in a brand new one that you don’t understand.

    Sometimes, even if your heart has been broken for centuries, the Cauldron throws a girl at you—metaphorically, but also sort of literally?—and you don’t manage to duck in time.

    It’s all rather overwhelming.

    But, if you give it time, you’ll figure out who you are, and how to love again. It’ll all work out in the end — it just might take a decade or two or ten.

    Summary

    Some people say a relationship is like a business transaction. For Avery Felix, Bucky Barnes and Steve Rogers - they’re in the business of teamwork. When someone falls, the other two pick them back up. When everyone starts to fall, things get a lot more complicated. But where you invest your love, you invest your life.

    (This is a sequel to the story "Show Me, Don't Tell Me". There is the possibility that this story can stand on it's own two feet but I think you'll understand and enjoy it more if you read SMDTM before this one.)

    Summary

    “Saturday. Yeah, that’s good,” Steve says, and actually scuffs his shoe at the ground. Like a ridiculous shy superhero damsel. “Say eight? I live-“

    “Yeah, big building with the A on it,” Bucky says, and can’t help a big stupid grin. Steve stares at him, looking a little dazed, and after their whole conversation it’s only now that Bucky’s brain catches up and realises Steve finds him quite attractive. So. Win for Bucky.

    “Let me get your number,” Steve says finally, after they’ve stared stupidly at each other for about three hours, taking out his phone.

    So they exchange numbers, and then Steve says he should go, and Bucky agrees, and they kind of stare at each other for a bit more, then Steve actually does go, but not before taking Bucky’s hand and squeezing it warmly in a way that makes Bucky want to shiver all over. Then Steve is gone, and Bucky is standing alone in the alley, grinning to himself.

    Right up until the moment he remembers that Steve thinks Bucky is an escort he’s just hired.

    Well fuck.
