    Summary

    Born in the Hewn City, Aletheia Nyxara was raised among privilege, power, and the quiet understanding that survival often requires silence. When Amarantha returns to Prythian as Hybern’s emissary, the world Aletheia knows fractures—first slowly, then all at once.

    Taken Under the Mountain, she survives by becoming exactly what Amarantha needs: a shadow. Watching. Listening. Enduring.

    This story follows Aletheia’s path through the events of A Court of Thorns and Roses—from the fall of her family to the long years beneath the mountain, through alliances, betrayals, and the cost of surviving a world that demands obedience.

    Summary

    Ten years after the war, peace has settled over Velaris, but trust runs thin where the Hewn City is concerned. Artemis, a cold and young professor with a haunted past and originally from Hewn City, is chosen to lead a controversial new academic initiative aimed at bridging the divide between the two cities. Her arrival draws scrutiny not least from Azriel, the Night Court’s spymaster, assigned to watch her every move.

    Summary

    Azriel can’t stay away.

    Prythian is at peace but the shadowsinger feels like he’s going insane. Convinced that the heir of Autumn is the target of Koschei’s dark magic, the spymaster and his shadows begin to obsess about Eris Vanserra’s safety. When Azriel’s conspiracy proves to be true, will his rival let the Night Court assist him?

    A kinky slow burn tale of two lonely males divided by court politics and five hundred years of bloody history. What begins as a spiralling obsession becomes so much more as the lives of the spymaster and the prince become irrevocably intertwined.

    Set a handful of years after the events of Silver Flames and CC3 this story assumes that a war against the Asteri has been fought and won (no real spoilers for CC3). Beron remains High Lord of Autumn and Koschei is still trapped at the lake. Meanwhile the Inner Circle’s alliance with Eris still stands, putting Azriel in a very tricky position when he’s caught breaking through the wards into Eris’s private chambers one evening.

    Summary

    The bond snaps into place at the Winter Solstice ball, threatening centuries of Eris’s plans and crushing Azriel’s lonely dreams. The bond is unsettling and intimate: glimpses of thoughts and feelings flowing muffled across the connection, prying at their carefully crafted masks.

    The bond takes no heed that Koschei’s invasion of Prythian looms, testing the foundations of the Autumn Court. That it reveals their raw desires amidst the chaotic politics, alliances, heartbreak, and bloodshed.

    The bond tugs at them, divulging sober truths: that, in the quiet stolen moments of night, they find their company soothes old scars, that, as the dust of battle settles, they discover themselves yearning for one another.

    Picks up towards the end of ACOSF and continues beyond it. Story doesn’t get explicit until the back half.

    (Elucien/Gwynriel)

    Tensions rise between Elain and Azriel, but when the sudden return of her visions lead Elain to the Spring Court, and the threat of Koschei looms across Prythian, unwanted attachments form between the flower and the fox, and and the priestess and the shadowsinger.

    (Slow burn. True to story-ish)
