The Dreamers in the Daylight by strangetraveler (thestrangehistorian)
Fandoms: A Court of Thorns and Roses Series - Sarah J. Maas
25 May 2024

Summary
Elain is completely fine and has her powers totally under control. She is not even upset about Azriel avoiding her, or Lucien's existence, which she cannot make herself forget no matter how much she wants to. Her mission to live a quiet, boring eternity in the Night Court is upended rather suddenly when - on a push to help Elain in the way they (sort of) helped Nesta - Rhysand and Feyre offer her an official position as their Court Seer.
At her very first appearance as an official member of the Night Court, a Day Court scholar appears to surprise Prythian with her announcement of a formal criminal tribunal against the Night Court.
Elain will have to decide where, and to whom, she belongs. Once the truth is told, there will be no going back.

Tamlin was conceived on the blood-red eve of war, before his father rode off to battle. His life - his fate - seemed determined by this fact alone.

Prelude to the Inferno by strangetraveler (thestrangehistorian)

Summary
"I've decided to make Helion into the next Lord of Day."
Rhysand recognized the gravity of the situation - Amarantha was seriously offering him the choice. To bring Helion to the court Under the Mountain, or to doom him to die with the rest of his family.
A story which I wrote primarily as a writing exercise to get my juices back, featuring the story of how Helion became the High Lord of Day.

Flowers in Your Hair by strangetraveler (thestrangehistorian)

Summary
When we were younger we thought everyone was on our side - and then we grew a little.
Aderyn was born in the House of Wind, on a full moon, when the jasmine and night phlox were all in bloom across the Court. Apart from the midwife, and her mother, the first person to hold her was her brother, Rhysand. He was eighty years her senior, and marveled at the shock of dark hair upon her head, her tiny hands that gripped his finger like a vice.
Her father did not bother to come and see her. As far as Aderyn was aware, he never held her. Not even once.
/ another musing as part of my development of the character for "Rhysand's Sister" - tbd if I will add further chapters!

The Book of Prythian by strangetraveler (thestrangehistorian)
Fandom: A Court of Thorns and Roses Series - Sarah J. Maas
25 May 2024
Summary
A collection of my ACOTAR fics, dealing with the world of Prythian pre- and post-Amarantha, and how her reign affected the other six Courts. It's my city now canon, strongly featuring OCs. The main story "the Dreamers in the Daylight" is in progress. Most of the other stories in this series are writing exercises or things that I felt might bog down the main plot too much if I wrote it all out!

A Court of Truth and Healing - ACOSF One Shots by flamesandshadows
Fandoms: A Court of Thorns and Roses Series - Sarah J. Maas
27 Feb 2023
Tags
Summary
I'm taking key scenes from ACOSF and rewriting them the way they *could* have gone if characters communicated honestly or had a bit more emotional intelligence. Each one shot is self contained and I'm adding them as I write them, so they're not in any particular chronological order.
Ch. 1 - Cassian doesn't like the plan to "intervene" with Nesta
Ch. 2 - Nesta actually reads p. 236
Ch. 3 - Feyre finds out her friends lied to her
Ch. 4 and 5 - Nesta refuses to go hiking
Ch. 6 - Feyre's Perspective (ACOSF, Chapter 47)
CH. 7 - Cass and Mor discuss her "suggestion" for Nesta to go to the Court of Nightmares (ACOSF, Ch. 4)
Ch. 8 - Nesta falls down the stairs (ACOSF, Ch. 10-11)
Ch. 9 - Aftermath of Ch. 8 - Madja meets with the Inner Circle
Ch. 10 - Only A Male's Shirt - ACOSF, Ch. 1
Ch. 11 - Hiking
Ch. 12 - Hiking Part 2 - Cass, Az, and Rhys in the mountainsNote: All of my stories hold the Inner Circle accountable for their role in situations. If you don't like that, don't read my fics. If you don't like Nesta, move along. Thanks!

An Illyrian Love Story by Theladyofbloodshed
Fandoms: A Court of Thorns and Roses Series - Sarah J. Maas
06 Oct 2022
Tags
Summary
For Emerie week on tumblr - a little blossoming love story between Emerie and Balthazar.
I wrote this because I was keen to see two Illyrians falling in love. I know that many people ship Emorie, but we don't actually know if Emerie likes women. She blushes at Mor and says she's beautiful, but she also blushes at Rhys. Feyre waxes poetically about how beautiful Mor is when she meets her too. I also do not like Mor and want her far from Emerie lmao.
Anyway, I've written Emerie as bisexual for this one shot so I hope you enjoy!
