Summary
In the eye of the storm, Aelin had always felt more alive than ever before. When tragedy strikes and she is driven to the safety of NYC, she retreats into a life of mundanity. Until she is reminded of the world she left behind and forced to confront her past.
Amidst the fields, Rowan is complacent with his life. He knows the land and skies like the back of his hand. Bogged down by grief, he retreats into his routine of familiarity. Until a blonde tornado chaser veers into his path. Really, how is it that they always wind up in the path of the same tornadoes?
Heavily inspired by Twisters (which I watched with my mom in the cinema and enjoyed more than I thought I would lol) ft. mad scientist vibes from Aelin, hunky/grumpy farmer Rowan, tragic backstories™, poorly written action/comedy, and the usual enemies-to-lovers speedrun.

Summary
When Celaena leaves her old life behind, she does not expect to find what she does. Not new friends, not old family, and certainly not a white haired young man with eyes that peer into her soul. Can this be a fresh start, or will her dark past continue to drag her into its depths?

skin deep ft. lonely cottages, skinwalkers, a (dead?) boyfriend, mysterious creatures, (i swear i did not always have) fangs, a taste for blood, whistling winds, and a very good dog
"She groans, spitting blood out into the snow.

Summary
9 years after the battle of Hogwarts, the war still rages on and everyone is much changed since their days at Hogwarts.
Hermione is the most lethal soldier in The Order, spending her days on rescue missions to free captured Muggleborn slaves and fight on the front line. For years, she's been meeting in secret with a spy within Voldemort's ranks to exchange information.
But when she's captured and made prisoner at Malfoy Manor, of all the dark and evil ways she'd envisioned Malfoy would torture her, she never quite imagined anything this horrific.I just wanted to make it abundantly clear that I was originally inspired to write this fic after I read the masterpiece that is Manacled, so I would like to thank SenLinYu for her amazing work! The memory searching aspect of Manacled is what inspired me, and although I have adapted that, (and also made Draco head Death Eater, because... ya know... we all love it when he's Voldemort's right hand man 😅😉), Secrets and Masks will be a very very different fic all together.
