Summary
It is a celestial spirit's duty to serve their key holders until their contract is ended... or their wizard dies. Until that time comes, they will do everything they can to protect their charge. But a spirit's power is not limitless, and sometimes all they can do is watch, helpless, as their wizard takes their last breath.
This is a unspoken truth that has always been a part of their immortal lives. However, for Loke, Virgo, and Aquarius, they never could have guessed it would hurt this much.
Or: Lucy's Tartaros battle, from the perspective of the spirits who cherish her most.

Summary
“I don’t see why I have to go,” grumbles Maomao as Xiaolan dresses her.
“Of course you have to go! You are the consort of the Moon Prince, my lady!”
Maomao has still not met the emperor’s younger brother. She almost doubts his existence. There is a slight curiosity in her mind as to whether or not he will attend this garden party. Though, honestly, she much prefers him as a spectral figure than a flesh and blood one.

Summary
Tom Bertram meets Fanny Price in Portsmouth and is shocked by the state of poverty and neglect in which the delicate young lady lives. So he makes the rash decision to marry her and bring her back to Mansfield with him as his wife.
After all, what good is having a clergyman for a brother if you can't get married when you want to?
But Tom never stopped to wonder if Fanny would be welcomed in her new home, or if he'd be responsible enough to look after her (he's not).
And when Tom suddenly falls gravely ill, Mary Crawford (who isn't even betrothed to Edmund yet) begins planning her future as Mistress of Mansfield, unthinkingly displacing Fanny, who she considers all but a widow already.
It's most certainly not the fairy-tale ending Fanny or Tom envisioned for themselves.
With the looming fear of an uncertain future for his wife, Tom realises he needs to put away childish things for good and become a man worthy of inheriting Mansfield at long last.

Summary
Nesta Archeron has always been seen as a weapon—a volatile force to be wielded when convenient, feared when not. After the scrying for the Mask, everything unravels. Fractured relationships, hidden truths, and growing threats force Nesta to make a choice: remain a pawn of the Night Court or carve her own path.
Meanwhile, Eris Vanserra watches from the Corner. His loyalty is as sharp as his tongue, his motives always unclear. But as political alliances shift and dangers loom from within and beyond, Eris finds himself drawn to the very woman the Night Court fears most.
This is a story of rebirth and rebellion, of fractured hearts and fragile hopes. A story of masks and the power to choose who you become once the masks are removed. But mostly, this is a love story. 💖
Sometimes, the darkest paths lead to the brightest dawns.

Nesta vs the Buffer by Theladyofbloodshed

Summary
Based on this prompt: Prompt-
Basically one where Nesta calls out the hypocrisy/disrespectfulness of Cassian and Morrigans ‘relationship’ infront of the whole inner circle- maybe at like dinner or something? And makes Cassian and mor realise the error of what they’ve been doing
I know that was weirdly specific, but it’s always annoyed me how nothing was ever actually said to Morrigan OR Cassian about how selfish she’s being when it comes to him even tho it’s so obvious and was one of the reasons nesta pulled away from him** Due to popular demand, this is shifting into a Nezriel fic**

Summary
SJM originally planned for Nesta and Lucien to be mates, but then decided they'd tear each other apart. The idea is intriguing enough for me to explore. It follows the plot of ACOWAR and beyond loosely then diverts to its own story.
