    Summary

    The Blood Rite has passed. Briallyn is dead. It's quiet, too quiet for Azriel, whose increasing loneliness is compounded by the fact that it seems his family is moving on with their lives without him. He had no mate, and Rhys had made it abundantly clear that Elain was off the table. No one wanted him. How long would it be before his brothers no longer needed him at all?

    Eris really needed to kill his father and yet no matter what he had told the illustrious Night Court, he had no plan for it. Killing a high lord was extremely difficult, after all. But his current situation was untenable, especially as Beron started looking beyond the bounds of his own court. How many more lies could Eris balance before his life came crashing down around him?

    This starts immediately after ACOSF and ignores anything from CC3.

    Summary

    "One thing was clear to her about this predicament: Lucien was furious."

    An enchanted pair of handcuffs. A prank gone wrong. A bottle of whiskey. This was turning out to be the most awkward Winter Solstice for Elain and Lucien yet.

    A gift for ALDBooks for the ACOTAR Gift Exchange 2024.

    Summary

    After returning home from Under the Mountain, everyone is struggling to cope with the trauma of Amarantha's reign. Rhys lingers in the shadows at the Spring Court, concerned about Feyre's mental health, and his presence spurs events to unfold in unexpected ways.

    The plot covers the events of A Court of Mist and Fury with major alterations. In this AU, we see what could have happened if characters were honest with each other, and talked things out rather than speaking in riddles or just avoiding topics altogether. We also get some actual apologies for egregious behavior that got glossed over in canon (looking at you, Rhys Under the Mountain) and big reveals that get put off to later books or not at all (looking at you, Lucien's paternity).

    Relationships in this AU are fully consensual rather than based on bargains made under duress, half-truths, or huge power imbalances, so romances that had an enemies-to-lovers flavor feel more like friends to lovers.

    Summary

    I brought a knife to a gun fight. They took the crown but it's alright.

     

    Elain has spent three years in Night Court trying to find the same belonging her sisters have found with little success. When she looks in the mirror, all she can see are pieces of the person she once was. She's looking for a way out.
    Lucien spends more time away in the mortal lands than he does in Night Court, unable to stand looking at Elain, the mate he didn't want and, in turn, is so terrified of him she shrinks in his presence. Keeping distance makes the bond bearable, though after three years, he's ready for her to reject it and let him move on.

    Enter Helion, High Lord of Day Court. Realizing Elain is looking for something more, Helion offers her an opportunity she can't pass up and a reason for Lucien to stick around for longer than a day. Helion has more up his sleeve than just a little matchmaking, and his actions have far reaching consequences for everyone in Pyrthian.
