    Summary

    “I know you’d rather not get help from me. I know you’ve rejected our mating bond and I’ve accepted that. But I still want to make sure you’re safe.”

    Her heart twisted in its cage, filling her whole body with icy tears that would not spill.

    Tell him. He deserves to know the truth. Tell him.

    And because this time the voice inside was hers, because it was strong and clear and right, she did.

    “I haven’t rejected the mating bond with you, Lucien,” she said quietly, her chest pounding so loud she could hardly hear the words. “But I think I damaged it, because—because I’ve never felt it.”

    Summary

    Lucien’s voice was quiet, broken, as he whispered to Elain, “You’re my mate.”

    Nesta whirled on him, furious, but it was Azriel whose agonized groan rent the air. Every word he ground out through his gritted teeth was raw.

    “She’s my wife.”

    ———

    After learning of her younger sister's fate Under the Mountain, Elain Archeron struggles to envision her future as the lady of the Nolan estate. Sometimes, she wakes in the night, the iron band of her engagement ring as cold as ice on her finger, and she knows only dread.

    She has no such trouble with the fearsome faerie male who makes a habit of checking on her nearly every day. It might be a trick, some sort of fell enchantment or thrall, but falling in love with him was the easiest thing she has ever done.

    Summary

    Elain Archeron is not the trembling fawn everyone believes her to be.

    Two years after the war, she feels an awakening- a power which calls her to grow untamed things under moonlight. She then receives an invitation to master her abilities as a Seer under the guidance of an Oracle of the Day Court. All the while fighting an inevitable war of passion for a holy mess of a shadow-wreathed male who looks at her with all the longing in the world.

    So perhaps a little more softly, a little more lethally, Elain begins her journey down the path unknown. For there’s something blooming within her. Something darker, softer, and wilder than she can name- reaching for the song of the Void.

    “Damn the Cauldron.” Azriel strode towards her. “Damn the Stars.” He closed the distance.
    “This-” those scarred hands softly gripped her face, bringing it within an inch of his own. “This-” he wrapped his scent around her and met her gaze directly, making sure she could feel the charge, the need, the nameless want-

    “This could never be a mistake.”

    Summary

    Tormented by haunting visions and robbed of the perfect future that awaited her, Elain felt as if her life was over, as if she were nothing but a stagnant tangle of roots, buried and frozen beneath the soil. But when the harsh winter comes to an end, the warm spring breeze carries the promise that she will flourish and bloom again.
    As she heals, Elain finds unexpected friendship and understanding in Nuala and Cerridwen, Rhysand’s handmaidens and spies, and through quiet conversations and delicate touches, a deep and consuming love grows between Elain and Azriel.

    This is a canon-compliant fic that explores the possibilities of what Elain has been going through behind the scenes, told through both Elain and Azriel’s POV’s. Chapters are chronological and take place alongside the events of ACOWAR, ACOFAS, and early ACOSF. They can be read together in order, but each one can also stand alone. I’m posting summaries along with each chapter so if some ideas appeal to you more than others, absolutely skip around!

    Summary

    “What is your game, Riegan?” Hubert hisses, standing behind him. “Hm? You come to Enbarr with no advisors, no servants, and you decide to pay Her Majesty’s spymaster a personal visit in the middle of the night, without your bodyguard. One would think you have a death wish.”

    Riegan turns to face him, grinning his easy, practiced grin. “I don’t have a game. But,” he gestures to the chessboard, “I’m pretty sure I remember yours. Teach still kick your ass every time?”

    At a diplomatic summit in Enbarr, King Khalid plays a dangerous game.

    Summary


    “You have a mate, Elain.” Azriel said. He knew that going into detail would only open another can of worms — one that they didn’t have time to deal with right now. “And he’s in this house. Do you know what I would do if I had a mate?” He took a step forward and cupped Elain’s face, his eyes burning in the darkness. “Do you know what I would do if I had you as my mate?”

    The words hung between them, suspended in the air, and Azriel knew that he was teasing himself. She would never be his mate and it would be easier for them all if he just accepted that.
    Elain’s pink tongue wet her lips and she said, “You can show me.”

    Summary

    Elain Archeron wants a lot of things.

    She wants to be released from a mating bond she never asked for. She wants to forget all about her confusing feelings toward a certain shadowsinger. She wants to understand her powers and learn how to use them. She wants to be seen as strong and capable, instead of weak and helpless. She wants to stop feeling so lonely, even when she is in a room surrounded by her friends and family. She wants to be of use to the Night Court, an asset instead of a liability.

    She wants to be enough.

    With the help of her sisters, two half-wraiths, a mortal queen with a heart of fire, a High Lord's son, and a dark, tortured spymaster, Elain is well on her way to achieving all she desires.

    But darkness is stirring, and danger is looming. Will Elain be enough to stop the greatest threat she and her friends have yet faced?

    Post ACOSF, my take on what will happen next. This one's for all the Elriel lovers out there! This story is going to be a slow-burn, angsty, sexy, mostly-canon, long fic. Get excited.

    Summary

    “Cass?” Nesta asked, her voice husky with exhaustion.

    Cassian’s heart fluttered to hear that nickname on her lips.

    “I’m here, Nes,” he replied.

    She reached out a thin hand, and he took it, cradling it as if it were the most precious thing in the world.

    “Will you -” she hesitated, her blue-grey eyes huge in her pale face.

    “Anything,” he promised, bringing her hand up to his mouth and kissing it tenderly. “Whatever you need.”

    “Will you stay?” she asked. “Just for tonight.”

    “I’ll stay as long as you want,” Cassian replied

    ---
    Instead of shouting at each other and throwing presents into the Sidra on Solstice, Nesta and Cassian spend the night together. But their night of passion has far reaching consequences, ones none of the Inner Circle could anticipate.

    Summary

    “And so,” Rohan said, drumming his fingers on the envelope, “you came here to ask me to fly to the other side of the world and use Heaven’s Door—which may not even work, by the way—on this corpse, in a desperate bid to figure out how it’s connected with the bow and arrow, risking exposure to whatever killed those men in the process?”

    Good fucking grief. “Yes.”

    Rohan studied Jotaro for a moment, narrowing his eyes slightly. “I’ll do it.”

    Summary

    "Look, it's very sweet of you to worry about me. I didn't mean the recent rumors, though.", he goes to take a sip of his beer and realizes the bottle is already empty, so he puts it back down and takes a deep breath. "I'm hoping you'll be cool with this because your best friend is Robin, and I know you know about her.", Steve's eyes go wide but before he can say anything, Eddie finally says it, "I meant that I'm gay, Steve. I like guys."
    --
    "Robin smiles back at her before running off, saying she’s late for band practice. Something about her awkwardness and rambling is actually extremely cute once you get to know her. Nancy feels warm inside, which she attributes to finally having another friend again, after Barb. She hadn’t realized how lonely she had been. Maybe having a girls’ night is a good idea. Hopefully they don’t plan to talk about boys, that would defeat the purpose.
    [...]
    Robin is a lot more interesting than either of the boys, anyway."

    -
    Eddie Munson survives, the gate is closed, Steve is bisexual, Robin falls for her best friend's ex, and Nancy is confused. You get the gist.

    Summary

    “Steve,” Wayne echoes. “This is my home. Eddie’s my boy.” And then he ruffles his hair with one large hand, coarse from years of working with them, in an action that reminds Steve of Hopper.

    “I’m gonna go down there and get my boy back. You’re gonna be my tour guide.” He holds his hand out for the final gun Steve has stashed, which he gives over reluctantly. He finds Wayne remarkably difficult to argue with—wonders if Eddie found the same. “Tour guides don’t need guns. You point at somethin’, I shoot it. Got it, Steve?”

    (Steve knows Eddie’s alive. Wayne’s the only one who believes him. So they team up to save him.)
