A/N: This is my first ever Azriel story so please let me know what you think! I promise I haven't forgotten about Like An Autumn Breeze, I will be updating that later this week I just had this idea stuck in my head and had to write it!

Master List

(Part One) (Part Two)

Part One

Azriel’s POV

I hated coming to Spring Court, it was always so empty especially after Feyre destroyed Tamlin’s court. I was sitting at the top of a tree with my shadow swirling around looking for anything to report back to Rhysand when one whispered that a female was running this way. I silently jumped down from the tree and let my shadows envelop me. I smelled the fear before she came barreling through the trees, tears pouring down her face.

She bolted past me and her foot snagged on a root in the ground, as she fell she let out a shriek and I heard a crack as her nose hit the dirt. I started walking towards her holding my hands out of me so she could see I wasn’t going to harm her, she turns as I intentionally snap a twig under my boot. She looks up at me blood pouring down her face and that's when I felt the tug. I halted, I could see the thread connecting the two of us and I stared at her silently. My shadows swarmed around me chanting mate, mate, mate. She cowered in front of me as silent tears poured down her cheeks.

'RHYSAND GET OVER HERE NOW!' I screamed into my mind and knew he was on his way.

“Are you alright?” I asked calmly lowering myself to the ground in front of her. She scrambles backwards shaking her head.

Y/N’s POV

I was sitting on the forest floor, looking up at Azriel the Shadowsinger of the Night Court while blood poured down my face. I had just run away from my abusive father, only to run into the Spymaster who tortures people. I tried to crawl away from him but moving only caused pain to radiate through my ribs.

“Please no please” I sobbed loudly.

“It’s okay, I’m not going to hurt you” he says sitting down in front of me his hazel eyes watching me. “What happened to you?” he begins leaning forward reaching out for me.

Shaking my head excessively to the point of probably doing damage to my brain the only words I could get out were “No touch” as my sobs get louder and louder. Suddenly the forest becomes dark and I see another figure standing behind the Shadowsinger, my vision clears slightly and I realise it’s the High Lord of the Night Court. “No no no no!” I cried as my entire body started shaking violently.

The High Lord lowers himself to his knees and sits beside the Shadowsinger. His violet eyes settle on your face and in such a calm voice he says “We are not here to hurt you, we want to make sure you are okay. What happened?”

“My… my… my father” I choked out.

“Your father did this to you?” the Shadowsinger growls looking towards him I nod wiping at my nose.

“What’s your name?” the High Lord asks pulling my attention back to him.

“Y/N” I sniffled as the exhaustion begins to set in and my eyelids become heavy, the High Lord and the Shadowsinger share a look.

“Y/N, we can take you away from here and get you patched up.” I simply nod my head as my eyes fluttered shut and it took all of my effort to open them again. “I’m going to pick you up and winnow you to the Night Court alright, you are safe.” he says wrapping his arms gently behind my back and underneath my knees, as he stands and Night enveloped me and my eyes shut again and everything is black.

I awoke in a plush bed in a room I did not recognise, the room was filled with deep blues and purples and accented with dark woods. I sat up to look around but pain rippled through my body. I grunted wrapping my arms around my ribs and continued looking around the room when my eyes landed on a male sitting in a chair near my bed watching me. I couldn’t make out any features as if he was shadowed by darkness, but I could make out large wings.

“You’re awake!” his deep baritone voice filled the room I recognised that voice but couldn’t place it. “Y/N, I’m Azriel” he stated and that’s when memories of what happened flashed through my mind… My father, pain and blood, running through the forest, the taste of dirt and blood, the Shadowsinger and the High Lord of The Night Court then nothing but darkness.

“Where am I?” my voice was raw and it hurt to speak.

“The Night Court” he said leaning forward and placing his elbows on his thighs to watch me closely.

“Are you going to hurt me?” I couldn’t help but ask, I had heard all the awful things the Night Court did.

“No” he frowned “you are safe here” his voice was gentle and I believed him to be speaking the truth. I studied his face that was now lit up by the faelights he was very handsome his tanned skin and his hazel eyes, he looked as if he had been crafted by the gods I couldn’t take my eyes off him. “How are you feeling?”

“I’m really sore, my ribs ache and my head is pounding” I said thoughtfully and he nodded. “How long was I out?”

“Just over 14 hours, we’ve been monitoring you.” I gasped at how long I had been out, he continued saying “When you hit your head on the ground you gave yourself a concussion.”

“Oh, you saw that” embarrassment settled through my body causing my cheeks to turn pink, he nodded smirking at me. Just then a bowl of steaming soup appeared on the bedside table with a large glass of water, my eyes widened with shock and I looked at Azriel.

“The house is sentient, it knows you need to eat and this is its way of telling you to. It’s quite the mother-hen” he laughed and the sound was the most amazing thing I had ever heard in my entire 250 years of life, his eyes were sparkling with amusement. He leaned over passing me the glass of water, I downed the whole thing not realising how thirsty I had been wiping the stray droplets from my lips as I handed it back to him. He passed me the bowl of soup and I graciously took it feeling the heat radiating off of it I smiled, lifting the spoon to my mouth I began eating and couldn’t help the moan that escaped my life. “Enjoying the soup?” he mused and I nodded.

“Thank you” I said aloud feeling the need to acknowledge the house's kindness and I saw Azriel smirk at me. I pushed the covers back and shimmied myself to the side of the bed, swinging my legs over I attempted to stand up and nearly fell to the ground but before I could Azriel caught my hips and held me steady.

“Easy there” he chuckled and I could feel his large hands on my hips, they were warm. I blushed.

“I need to stretch my legs” I said simply stepping away from him quickly and stretching my arms high above my head and sighing as I felt the tension leaving my body from laying down for so long.

“Would you like to take a walk around the house?” he asked, looking up nervously you shook your head.

“I would love to, but first I need to take a bath” you said shyly.

“Oh of course, just through there is a bathing chamber. I’ll come back in half an hour to give you a tour of the house” he smiled getting up and heading towards the door. “There are clothes in the cupboard for you.”

“Thank you, Azriel” I smiled at him and I could have sworn I saw his cheeks turn the lightest shade of pink but he turned too quickly and headed out the door. With that I was alone again, I slowly wandered around the room taking in my surroundings, and finally heading into the bathing chamber I was greeted by the largest bathtub I had ever seen. Moving towards it I turned the knobs and let the hot water fill the tub as steam enveloped the room. Looking down I realised I was not wearing my clothes from home but was wearing a pale white nightgown, I took that off and climbed into the hot water letting the heat warm my aching muscles. I dunked my head and began washing my hair, the soaps and tonics that were in the Night Court smelled very different from the ones in Spring.

Once I was clean I emerged from the bathing chamber in a fluffy towel and padded my way to the cupboard opening it I found a ton of clothing, flipping through them I settled on a pair of black leggings, and a loose knitted cream sweater that had tiny red roses embroidered into it. I braided my wet hair and pulled on a pair of black leather boots I found in the cupboard when there was a knock at the door.

“Come in” I called out.

“Feeling better?” Azriel’s voice filled the room and I smiled.

“Much! I’m ready for that tour now” I said straightening up and looking at him, he has changed from his leathers into a pair of black pants and a black knit sweater, his hair was damp as if he had just taken a bath as well.

“Shall we?” he asked holding his arm out for me and I gladly accepted, he led me out into the hallway and through the house showing me all the different rooms. He finally led me onto a balcony and I gasped, I could see a shimmering city far down below. “This is Velaris, the city of Starlight.”

“It’s beautiful” you whispered staring at the lights flickering. Standing in silence my eyes were glued to the lights in the city below. Azriel's eyes were glued to my face, watching as I saw his city for the first time.

“Y/N?” Azriel’s voice jolted me from watching the lights.

“Hmm?” I mumbled in response.

“Would you feel comfortable talking with Rhysand? He just wanted to see how you’re doing and ask you a few questions.”

“Sure” you said with a smile.

“I’m going to need to fly you there” Azriel said and I stared up at him with eyes wide.

“Fly?” I asked shocked.

“What did you think the wings were for?” he smirked and waited for my response.

“I hadn’t really thought of it, you won’t drop me will you” I asked sheepishly, twisting a strand of hair in between my fingers a nervous habit I’d had since childhood.

“Never” he proclaimed, nodding I took a step towards him. He gently wrapped his arms around me picking me up bridal style my arms automatically found themselves snaked around his neck. That was when I was hit with his scent, night-chilled mist and cedar as I buried my face into his chest. It was a scent I wouldn’t ever forget. His wings spread wide and he leapt off the balcony, I screamed and he chuckled. “You’re safe” he murmured against my ear and I couldn’t help but shiver.

Soaring through the sky was a magical feeling, I would have never imagined doing this in the Spring Court. We landed in front of the river, Azriel placed me down gently and I took a moment to steady myself while staring at the water I was mesmerised by this place it was so unlike where I had grown up. Something about the Night Court called to me as if I was finally home.

“This way” he said taking a step in the direction of a large house that was lit up. “This is where Rhysand and Feyre live, the High Lord and Lady of the Night Court” he explained as I looked up at the house with wonder. He opened the door allowing me to step through, looking around it was so warm and welcoming. Rhysand stepped into my view as he came around the corner followed closely by a beautiful female with golden brown hair and blue-grey eyes that I immediately recognised from her time spent in the Spring Court, she looked so much healthier now and I smiled at her.

“Y/N you are looking much better” he smiled and motioned to the female beside him. “This is my mate; Feyre.”

“Hello Y/N, I am so glad you are doing better!” she said walking up to me and embracing me in a hug.

“Th..thank you” I said awkwardly and she smiled warmly at me.

“Why don’t you come and meet everyone else, then we can head to Rhysand’s office and discuss what happened to you.” she took me by the hand leading me down the hallway, I looked to Azriel and he simply nodded.

“Everyone this is Y/N!” she said as we entered a large sitting room, I quickly scanned the other people that were there when my eyes landed on a red-headed male I recognised.

“Y/N? What are you doing here” he said getting off the couch and walking towards me, his metal eye whirring as it studied me.

“Lucien?” I asked confused.

When Spring Turns To Night (Part Two)

Azriel x Reader

Warnings: None that I can think of, please let me know if I missed anything.

Word Count: 2214 A/N: Thank you all so much for the love on this! Honestly, I am blown away and cannot wait to add to this story! I am hoping to have another 1 - 2 parts out next week but we shall see!

(Masterlist)

(Part One) (Part Two)

Part Two

He pulled me into a tight hug and I winced, he immediately stepped back holding my shoulders and looking at me. I stood completely still, I was shocked to see Lucien of all people here.

“What happened?” he said sternly.

“My father” I whispered feeling ashamed, I looked up to see the concern on his face. “I’m okay though” nodding he dropped his arms back to his sides. “What are you doing here?”

“It’s a long story, I’ll fill you in later” he smirked and looked behind me, I turned to see Rhysand and Feyre watching me quizzically. My eyes landed on Azriel and his face was completely blank while he watching me, his shadows were swirling around him in an agitated manner.

“Lucien and I go way back, I come from a wealthy family in the Spring Court and my father worked closely with Tamlin” I explained simply not wanting to get into all the details in front of everyone else.

“Shall we head to my office then Y/N?” Rhysand announced and I nodded following along behind him with Feyre and Azriel in tow. We approached large double doors and stepped into an office, a large oak desk was in the middle with a large leather chair sitting behind it and two smaller matching leather chairs sitting in front. I watched as Rhysand and Feyre headed to the larger chair, he sat and she placed herself gently on his lap. I took a seat in one of the smaller chairs while Azriel took a seat in the other one, I looked at Rhysand unsure of where to start.

“What happened?” Feyre was the one to ask with such concern on her face.

“This is going to be a long story” I sighed. “My father owns the Tavern in the village closest to the Manor, I’ve been working there for as long as I can remember and that’s how I met Lucien.” Pausing I watched Feyre processing this.

“That means you’re part of the Y/L/N family?” she asked shocked.

“Unfortunately” I looked down at my hands. “My father was trying to find me a husband and someone to take over running the business because he is getting too old to run it alone.”

“Why not give it to you?” Rhysand asked.

“He does not believe a female should own a business, he thinks females are only good for producing children and taking care of their husbands and children. When I refused he got extremely angry and took his anger out on me. That’s when I used my powers to distract him and I ran. I hadn’t gotten far when Azriel found me.” I said looking at him, he was seething with anger his shadows were thrumming around him.

“That’s terrible I’m so sorry” Feyre said gently watching me closely.

“That is an awful way to treat your own daughter” Rhysand stated and then asked, “what sort of powers do you have?”

“Air manipulation” I stated with a flick of my wrist the room was filled with a gentle spring breeze that smelled of fresh flowers. “I can also alter the growth of plants, I mostly use that to keep the flowers I collect alive for longer” I laughed sheepishly, Rhysand and Feyre nodded thoughtfully while Azriel’s eyes never left my face.

“You are welcome to stay in Velaris, Azriel will show you to the townhouse where you can stay. I doubt you will want to stay up at the house and rely on Azriel, Cassian or myself to fly you to and from.” Rhysand lifted an eyebrow in question and laughed as I shook my head. “I’m sure Az would be happy to stay in the Townhouse with you” Rhysand smirked at Azriel causing him to fidget in his seat and the slightest blush crept over his cheeks.

“Only if that’s something you want Y/N” Azriel said not taking his eyes off me studying my reaction.

“Of course” I blushed looking at Azriel and he smiled. I turned back towards Rhysand and Feyre “Thank you, but I have nothing to give you in return” I sighed as the realisation of what I had done hit me, I had left everything behind.

“Don’t worry about that, please just rest and heal before even entertaining that idea” Feyre said as she smiled at me, I couldn’t help but smile back. I felt calm and safe for the first time in a long time.

“Would you like me to bring you to the Townhouse?” Azriel asked.

“Yes please” I said while yawning. He smirked as he stood up from the chair, I followed him and said goodbye to Rhysand and Feyre.

“Don’t forget Az, you’re supposed to go to Windhaven with Cassian tomorrow?” Rhysand said.

“I haven’t forgotten” Azriel said in a clipped tone and stalked out the door, I gave Feyre a confused looked and she just shook her head as if to say He’ll explain later. I nodded and followed behind Azriel waving goodbye to everyone in the sitting room and stepping out the front door. “Did you want to fly from here or walk around Velaris a bit first?” he asked watching me carefully.

“Let’s walk, I wanna see my new home” I smiled up at him and he began leading me along the river while I looked around taking in all the lights and noise and happy people.

“This is the Sidra” he motioned towards the water. I couldn’t help but stare out at the open expanse of water, I had never seen anything like this before. It was breathtakingly beautiful and I was in complete awe.

“It’s beautiful” I whispered quietly not removing my eyes from the view in front of me.

“One day if you’d like I can fly you above it, it’s even more beautiful from up there” he said looking up at the sky and smiling.

“I’d love that” I smiled up at him, and I saw the corner of his mouth twitch up slightly. “Azriel?” I asked.

“Mmm?” was his response, he seemed to be lost in thought.

“I just wanted to thank you, for everything.” I paused and watched as he turned his full attention to me. “I honestly don’t know what would have happened to me if you hadn’t found me” I shuddered at the thought and he stepped closer to me. “You saved my life.”

“You do not need to thank me Y/N, I’m just glad I was there and that I have the opportunity to get to know you” he smiled down at me opening his arms and offering me a hug, I stepped into his arms wrapping mine around his waist. His strong arms pulled me closer to him as I was met by the scent of night-chilled mist and cedar I smiled and nuzzled my head closer into his chest.

After a few seconds, I could feel my hair shift realising that his shadows were also wrapping themselves around me flittering through my hair and along my arms. The smile that was on my face grew bigger as a feeling of rightness fell over me. We stood like that for a while before he pulled away from me. “Shall we continue on?” I nodded and felt him place his hand on my lower back guiding me along. We continued walking through the streets of Velaris, he pointed out different locations that he enjoyed like his favourite coffee shop as well as a place called Rita’s where he and his friends go for drinks. We spent the walk talking and laughing with each other, stealing glances and brushing our arms against each other. We finally arrived at the Townhome and he opened the door for me, I stepped inside looking around it was styled very similar to the House of Wind and the River House, it was very warm and welcoming and I couldn’t help but smile. He showed me around the place, we stopped in front of a wooden door.

“This will be your room” he said opening the door for me, his shadows entered the room before I could even step through the threshold. I looked at him in question. “Sorry they sometimes have a mind of their own, they wanted to check that the room was safe.” he ran his hand through his ebony hair nervously.

“That is very thoughtful of them” I smiled at him placing my hand on his arm and stepping through the door. I stood watching his shadows search the corners of the room, as a few of them wrapped around my ankles and wrists and I held out my hand as one slithered its way to my palm and danced around my fingers. “Thank you for protecting me” I spoke to the shadows and they all seemed to move quicker in appreciation.

“No one ever acknowledges them” Azriel remarked while studying the way I interacted with them.

“Why?” I simply asked not moving my eyes from the shadow.

“Honestly I think most people are afraid of them” he said sadly.

“Well, I’m not” looking over at him I grinned. “I find them fascinating.”

“The feeling seems to be mutual” he laughed as more of the shadows began swirling around me and I couldn’t help but let out a giggle as they tickled me. Once they began to settle, I looked around the room and saw two doors Azriel had followed my line of sight and said. “That’s the bathing chamber” pointing to one of the doors “and through that door is the closet which should already have clothes in it for you.” I nodded and let out a small yawn. “I’ll let you get some sleep.”

“Thank you again Az” I smiled up at him and could have sworn his cheeks were flushed.

“I will be gone for most of tomorrow, but I’m sure Feyre will stop by at some point” he said smiling. “Have a good sleep Y/N and my room is just down the hall if you need anything at all!”

“Sleep well Azriel” I smiled at him as he left my room, his shadows trailing behind him. All except for the one still in my palm I watched as it gently warped around my wrist like a bracelet. “Thank you for staying with me” I whispered to it and it spun around my wrist a few times which I interpreted as its way of saying you’re welcome. I changed into some sleep clothes I found in the closet and crawled into bed falling asleep instantly.

“Y/N?” I heard Azriel’s voice as I opened my eyes looking at him confused. “It’s okay, you were having a nightmare” he says gently as he pushes the hair from my face.

“Wh…what?” I croaked as I tried to process what was happening.

“I heard you screaming and came in to find you shaking and crying in your sleep” he said and I lifted my hand to my damp cheek.

“Oh” I mumbled feeling embarrassed. “I’m sorry I woke you.”

“Don’t be sorry!” he said sternly. “Do you want to talk about it?”

“I was back there, my father was so mad” I sniffled as I pulled my knees to my chest wrapping my arms around them.

“Oh Y/N I’m so sorry” he sat beside me on the bed and opened his arms for me and I crawled into his lap as he held me close running a soothing hand up and down my back.

“He hated me, he probably hates me even more now. Or he’s hoping I’m dead.” the words tumbled out of my mouth before I could even realise I was thinking them, and more tears stung my eyes and began pouring down my face. Azriel pulled me closer to him and began running his hand through my hair. He didn’t say anything, he didn’t need to. He held me until we both fell asleep and when I awoke the next more he was gone. I found a note on the pillow next to me.

Y/N, I’m sorry I couldn’t be there when you woke up. On a short mission for Rhys. Feyre is stopping by in the morning to show you around Velaris some more. I’ll be back later on tonight, have a good day! - Az

I smiled as I pushed the blankets off me and headed to the bathing chamber to get ready for the day. I took a quick bath then headed into the closet and pulled on an outfit similar to what I wore the day before.

There was a knock at the front door, opening it I found Feyre standing there smiling at me.

“Good morning Y/N, I brought breakfast” she said holding up two cups of coffee and a bag of something, letting her in we headed to the sitting room and sat down.

“You didn’t have to do that” I said smiling at her.

“I know, but I wanted to!” her eyes sparkled and I couldn’t help but smile at her, we spent the next hour getting to know each other over coffee and breakfast. She told me all about her life as a human and I told her all about growing up in the Spring Court.

Like An Autumn Breeze (Part Three)

(Part One) (Part Two) (Part Three) Summary: You are the youngest Archeron sister only 16 years old when you are shoved into the cauldron along with your two eldest sisters. You quickly learn that you are mated to the heir of The Autumn Court.

Eris x Reader

Warnings: swearing, violence, blood

Word Count: 2007 A/N: Thank you all so much for all the love on this! I appreciate you all so much!

Part Three

We entered a large room to find Rhysand and Feyre standing in the middle watching us. Cassian and Mor flanked their High Lord and Lady glaring in Eris’ direction. Azriel stayed by the door blocking the exit while his shadows swirled around him. I could feel the tension in the room, all eyes landed on me then flicked to Eris then down to our intertwined hands.

“What the fuck Eris?” Rhysand bellowed as he strode towards Eris gripping the collar of his shirt Rhysand yanked Eris away from me. “You just met her and you’re already trying to get in her pants?” Time slowed down as I watched Rhysand’s free hand soar through the air punching Eris in the face, and blood began pouring out of his nose. My heart began racing in my chest, and all I felt was fiery rage as I stared down at my brother-in-law. “She’s only 16” Rhysand spat out as his fist made contact with Eris’ face a second time. My body began vibrating as I got hotter and hotter, the rage building even more when suddenly I was engulfed in flames. Silence fell over the room as everyone watched me, but I couldn’t take my eyes off the flames. I watched as they flitted in between my fingers and wrapped around my wrists in an odd sort of dance. They seemed almost alive, reminding me of Azriel's shadows. That thought was quickly forgotten when I felt Eris’ shock and pride flow through the bond, my eyes shot up to meet his amber eyes and he watched me with wonder and awe. I squared my shoulders and lifted my chin high.

“Rhysand!” I said voice dripping with venom, clenching my hands into fists at my side. I took a confident step towards the two males, Rhysand was watching me with wide eyes. “Please remove your hands from my mate!” I spat and Rhysand released Eris from his grip. Eris was immediately by my side wrapping his arms around me. My flames reacted to his touch by gently wrapping around his arms as if they were inspecting to make sure he was alright.

“My beautiful flame” his voice came out breathlessly, watching me in awe. I lifted my hand gingerly to his face as I took in the damage, and my eyes began to fill with tears. I started shaking so violently I could barely stand up straight, I clung to Eris. “I’m alright love” he placed his hand on my back and began rubbing up and down to soothe me. As I began to calm down the shaking lessened and my flames seemed to understand everything was okay and they started disappearing. I continued to cry into Eris’ chest while he held me tightly in his arms, once the sobs lessened I took a deep breath and lifted my head.

“You’re mates?” I heard Feyre’s concerned-filled voice ask.

“Yes” Eris said not taking his eyes off me.

“Y/N this is something you want?” Rhysand asked me with such concern in his voice.

“Yes” I smiled up at my mate through the tears still slowly sliding down my cheeks and he leaned down placing a gentle kiss on my forehead. Rhysand nodded and held his mate's hand as silence once again filled the room.

“You’re not going to stop this Rhys?” Cassian hissed watching me closely.

“There’s nothing that can be done” Rhysand shrugged. “If they both choose to accept the bond then that’s that.”

“But Beron will kill her” Azriel stated striding across the room and joining the rest of the Inner Circle.

“He won’t touch her” Eris roared pulling me closer to his chest, he looked directly at Rhysand. “It seems I will need to call in your side of the agreement sooner than expected Rhysand.” Turning my head to watch Rhysand’s reaction, he nodded turning to Feyre as they clearly had a silent conversation.

“I think it’s time we move this conversation to a more discrete location” Rhysand said taking a step towards Eris and clapping his hand on his and my shoulder as he winnowed us to the House of Wind. We landed on the balcony and Eris looked down towards the city below.

“What is this place?” he asked his voice filled with confusion.

“Welcome to Velaris, the City of Starlight” Rhysand said watching Eris. “This is my true Court. Now follow me inside we have lots to discuss.” turning and walking through the double doors into the House.

“How was the Court of Nightmares?” Lucien asked from his seat on the couch, he placed the book he was reading down beside him. Rhysand didn’t say anything until Feyre, Eris and I were in the room as well. “Eris what the hell are you doing here?”

“It seems that two Vanserras have been mated to Archeron sisters” Rhysand voiced as he watched Lucien for a moment, Lucien’s gaze landed on me and understanding flashed across his features. He then looked at his brother and I watched as the two of them stared at each other for a few minutes.

“You two can catch up later, I need to discuss some things with Y/N and Eris” Rhysand’s clipped voice filled the silence and he began walking towards his office. I followed behind him obediently not wanting to cause more of a scene. We all entered his office, Rhysand sat in his large leather chair and Feyre placed herself on his lap. I looked up at Eris unsure of what to do next, he sat down placing his hands on my hips he guided me to sit in his lap. I could feel my cheeks heating with a blush as he placed his large hand across my stomach pulling me closer to his chest. After a few seconds of getting used to this seating arrangement, I looked up at Rhysand and Feyre.

“I have a few questions” I squeaked out, Rhysand nodded waiting for you to continue. “Who is Beron and why would he want to kill me? Also, what is your agreement?”

“Beron is the High Lord of The Autumn Court and he is my father. He is an extremely abusive man and uses that abuse to display the power he holds over others. I have taken the brunt of that abuse as I am in line to take the throne upon his death.” Eris said as he watched me gauging my reaction, I kept my face as neutral as I could. “I fear if he was to find out about our bond he would try to use it against me.”

“That’s why you want to call in our agreement sooner than later?” Feyre questioned. “You want to kill Beron so Y/N is protected.” Eris nodded.

“How should we go about this?” Rhysand said, the next few hours consisted of the four of you discussing strategies on how to kill Beron.

“Y/N?” Feyre said rising from her seat. “Can I speak to you, privately?” I stood up and looked at Eris, placing a kiss on his cheek and following my sister out to the balcony. We stepped up to the railing and leaned on it looking at the lights of Velaris. “Are you okay?”

“What?” I asked confused and she laughed.

“Are you okay with all of this? I know that mating bonds can be confusing, and you’re so young.”

“Fey I’m 16, I’m not that much younger than you.” I exhaled in exasperation.

“I know, but you’re my baby sister and I just want to make sure you’re completely okay with all of this.” she placed her tattooed hand on mine and squeezed it gently.

“Don’t get me wrong, it was a huge shock but this feels right. It feels like I’ve found something that I wasn’t even looking for and that something has made me whole again.”

“I’m happy for you then!” she pulled me into a side hug and we clung to each other for a while. “So you can turn into a human torch?” she said after some time had passed, I couldn’t help laughing.

“I didn’t mean to do that, I just got so angry when Rhys hit Eris. I didn’t even know I could do that.” I looked down at my hands half expecting to see the flames still there, I looked up at Feyre as tears began to fill my eyes.

“Hey it’s okay, you didn’t hurt anyone” she said pulling me into a hug and running her hand through my long hair. “We’ll figure out how your magic works!” I sniffled and nodded, I heard two sets of steps coming our way, Feyre began to let go of me and I clung to her more.

“Why is Y/N crying?” Eris asked sounding annoyed.

“I’m fine” I sniffled lifting my head from Feyre’s chest and looking at my mate. “Just overwhelmed.” he looked extremely concerned. “With my magic” I added quickly and could see the tension leave his body. “That’s never happened before, I don’t even know what happened to be completely honest. I just got so angry when Rhys hit you my body got so hot and suddenly I was a human torch” I laughed looking at Feyre and she laughed too.

“I’ve never seen anything like that before, have you?” Rhysand said looking at Eris.

“No, I can control fire” he said as he allowed flames to blossom in his palms. “But even I can’t turn myself into a living flame and I am the strongest in my family.” I stepped towards him and reached out towards his flames, just as I was about to touch them my own erupted from my fingertips and began swirling around his.

“It’s as if Y/N’s flames have a mind of their own. The way they move reminds me of something” Feyre pondered, everyone fell silent watching the two flames dancing and twirling.

“Azriel’s shadows” Rhysand gasped. “They move the same way as his shadows do, I’ve never heard of a living flame.” We all turned to Rhysand and he was staring at me. “Y/N can you show me exactly what happened inside the cauldron?” I nodded and felt his talons tapping on my shields, I dropped them and replayed the memory of the cauldron for him, I shuddered and Eris wrapped his arms around me protectively. After a few moments of silence, Rhysand began questioning me. “The cauldron spoke to you?” I nodded.

“What did it say?” Eris asked.

“Y/N, is it okay if I show them your memory? It’d be a lot easier for all of us.” Rhysand asked in such a gentle voice.

“As long as I don’t have to remember it again” I shuddered again and with that Eris and Feyre had gone completely still.

“How can it burn brighter and hotter than other fires?” Feyre asked.

“I have no idea” I said while stifling a yawn, the exhaustion of the day was finally catching up to me. I snuggled closer into Eris and yawned again.

“Maybe we should call it a night” Rhysand said watching the two of us. “Eris you’re welcome to stay here tonight. We shall leave and give you some time alone now.”

“Goodnight Y/N! And Eris if you hurt her I will kill you, she is my baby sister.” Feyre growled at Eris.

“Don’t worry Feyre, Rhys already gave me the lecture.” Eris laughed. “Plus I could never hurt her, she’s my everything.”

“Goodnight you two” Rhysand said leading Feyre out the door.

“Goodnight” I mumbled back as I buried my head further into Eris’ chest. Once we were truly alone I looked up to see him watching me cautiously. “Hi” I smiled at him and he let out a loud laugh.

“Hi Little One” he leaned down placing a gentle kiss on my forehead. “Would you like to show me to your room?” I grabbed his hand and dragged him through the halls to my bedroom, shutting the door behind us and locking it.

Like An Autumn Breeze (Part Two)

(Part One) (Part Two) (Part Three)

Eris x Reader

Warnings: None. Word Count: 2029

A/N: Part 2 is here! I hope you all enjoy it <3 I included pictures of what the dress I incision Y/N wearing to the Court of Nightmares!

Dress Front Dress Back

Part Two

I stood in silence looking in the mirror one last time I stared at someone I didn’t recognize, I was wearing a floor-length gossamer dress the colour of red wine. It was so unlike anything I had ever worn before, with a plunging neckline and two slits that exposed my legs. My back was exposed, with just the smallest of straps tied keeping the whole thing on. I wore matching red lipstick and kohl-lined my blue-grey eyes making them look even bigger than normal. My hair was in a half up half down style, and the top was braided into a coronet that held a small tiara that Rhysand had suggested I wear it was gold with tiny rubies the colour of my dress shimmered in the faelight. The unbound section of my hair was set in loose waves that flowed down my back. I was beautiful, and I knew it. With one last glace at my reflection, I took a deep breath and walked out of my room.

Taking a deep breath and stepping into the main room of the House of Wind where everyone was waiting, silence fell over everyone as they looked at me. Cassian was the first to acknowledge me by letting out a wolf whistle causing me to blush. “Don’t you clean up nice” he said with a wink. My face heated with a blush.

“Thank you” I smiled at him as everyone else nodded in agreement.

“You look beautiful baby sister” Feyre smiled walked over to me and taking my hand, Mor was trailing behind her.

“Where did you get that dress Y/N?” her eyes wide while running her hands along the fabric of the skirts.

“I have no idea, Rhys gave it to me” I said looking from Mor to Rhys.

“Why must you keep all the beautiful dresses hidden from me” she pouted while crossing her arms over her chest and swinging to look at her cousin.

“I’ll never tell” he smirked while picking a piece of lint off his jacket. The room erupted in laughter as the High Lord beamed with pride at making everyone laugh. “Shall we get this over with?” he asked once the laughter had died down and the entire atmosphere shifted in the room. Everyone partnered up as we all began to winnow to the Court of Nightmares.

I was standing near the throne with Azriel beside me, taking a large sip of my wine and letting my eyes wander around the room. The doors to the throne room were pushed open and my gaze landed on the most beautiful red-headed male I had ever seen. Confidence radiated off him and he strode into the room, hands in my pockets. He was tall, lean and extremely well-dressed. He wore a deep green jacket with gold detailing, a simple cream-coloured shirt underneath and pressed black pants tucked into knee-high brown leather riding boots. My gaze drifted to his face causing my breath to hitch while I took in his strong jaw, sharp straight nose, and high cheekbones that were peppered with freckles. Daring a glance at his pink lips causing me to wonder just how soft they’d feel pressed against my own. Finally, my gaze landed on his beautiful amber eyes, making eye contact I felt familiar warmth blooming in my chest absent-mindedly placing my hand against my chest I felt another tug.

Eris’ POV

Walking through the nightmarish halls of Hewn City I was heading to the throne room, Rhysand had requested my presence to discuss our alliance in the oncoming war against Hybern. I was informed I would have the company of Feyre’s youngest sister Y/N for the night. I was experiencing the weirdest sensation tonight, fearing I might be falling ill I wondered if I should have stayed home instead. Shaking the thoughts away, I approached the large black doors to the throne room. Taking a deep breath, and letting the mask slip into place I pushed through the doors. The party was already in full swing as my eyes drifted around the room landing on the most beautiful female I had ever seen, I felt a tug in my chest. “Mate. Mate. Mate.” the word danced around in my brain, and my heart began racing as I watched her. She was so beautiful and tiny and she looked so innocent. Her wide blue-grey eyes locked onto mine and I felt the bond snap into place and I let myself smile, a real smile for once.

Hello Little One I purred down the bond that had just formed.

Hi she squeaked back at me, I couldn’t help myself as I began striding towards her when I noticed Rhysand beckoning me to the throne.

“Eris, welcome” he said. “There is someone I would like to introduce you to.” He extended his hand in the direction of my mate. Taking a single step towards us she smiled at me. “Eris meet Y/N, Y/N meet Eris.”

“Hello beautiful” I purred at her outstretching my hand for her. She placed it gingerly into mine as I delicately bowed my head to place a gentle kiss on it.

“Hello Eris” she fluttered her eyelashes at me. My heart squeezed at the sound of my name on her lips I couldn’t help but smile at her.

“Would you like to dance?” I asked and she nodded taking a step towards me, I led her towards the dance floor. Placing my hand on her hip and pulling her close to me. “Hello little mate” I whispered in her ear.

You’re my mate I felt confusion and curiosity laced in the statement she sent down the bond. I began tracing circles on her hip with my fingers as we danced, she was a wonderful dancer.

“Shall we go somewhere quiet to talk?” I asked her after a few more dances. She nodded gazing up at me with such intrigue. Grabbing her hand I lead her through the doors and out into the hallway.

Y/N’s POV

We hurried through the dark hallways of The Court Of Nightmares and found ourselves standing outside, the air was cool on my skin. I looked towards Eris and our eyes met again.

“Hi” I said, it was the only word I could think of to say.

“You keep saying that” he teased while placing a hand on my waist and looking down at me. His amber eyes locked onto mine we stood in silence staring at each other, his hand was moving in small circles on my hip. His gaze drifted to my lips and then back to my eyes as if asking permission. I could feel my cheeks flushing even more, as my heart began thudding in my chest. “Are you okay?” he asks sensing my panic.

“I’ve never kissed anyone before” I blurted out smacking my hands up to my face and turning away from him to hide my embarrassment.

“Y/N” his voice soothed as he began gently prying my hands off my face. “We can take this as slow as you need to, I will not do anything you are not comfortable with.”

“Th… thank you” I shakily whispered, looking back at him.

“Why don’t you tell me about yourself?” he suggested taking my hand in his and leading me along a path.

“Uhh, what do you want to know?” I furrowed my brow not knowing what to say.

“Tell me about your life before Prythian?”

“Not much to tell, I’m the youngest of four. My father was known as the Prince of Merchants and we were very wealthy and happy. When I was six my mother died, and that’s when everything started to fall apart. A year later he took a risk with all of our money and it ended badly. He was attacked by debt collectors and was never the same after that, he turned into a shell of a man.” I spoke quickly, he squeezed my hand encouraging me to continue. “I was lucky enough to have Feyre though, she took it upon herself to start hunting when we had no food left. I took on the responsibility of cooking whatever she could bring home while Nesta and Elain wallowed over the life we once had. Everything was as good as it could be until the day Tamlin showed up.”

“I’m sorry,” he said and I shrugged not knowing what to say next. After a few moments of silence, he asked “What were your interests?”

“I enjoyed cooking and always wanted to learn more about baking.”

“I’m quite the baker myself, my mother and I used to bake together when I was younger. I can teach you”

“Really? You don’t strike me as a baker” I laughed.

“I’m a male of many talents Little One” he smirked down at me. “Tell me more.”

“I love animals, when I was younger I used to chase stray cats and dogs around trying to pet them. I always wanted to bring them home and feed them but my sisters always got mad at me saying we couldn’t afford another mouth to feed.”

“I have 12 dogs” he said proudly.

“12?!” I shouted as my steps slowed, clamping my hands over my mouth to quiet myself. He laughed.

“Yes 12, they are ghost hounds and they are all going to love you.”

“I can’t wait to meet them” We stood together my back pressed to his chest while his arms were wrapped around me holding me close and staring out at the sky before us. We continued chatting about our lives and getting to know each other, it was so easy to talk to him. It felt like I had known him forever.

“Eris?” I murmured spinning around in his arms he hummed in response. “What are we going to do?”

“What do you mean Little One?” I blushed at the nickname.

“We’re mates and we live in different courts.” I said sadly, looking down at the ground. His fingers gently lifted my chin up so I was looking at him.

“We will figure this out Y/N, one day you will live with me in the Autumn Court. As long as that’s what you want” he watched me silently, I don’t think he was even breathing.

“I would love to, Autumn was always my favourite season” I beamed up at him, and he smiled back at me. I couldn’t help but stare at his lips the lovely pink tone contrasted with his creamy white skin, they looked so soft taking a shaky breath and looking up at his eyes I sent the words he’d been waiting to hear all night through the bond.

Kiss me, please

His eyes widen in shock for a split second and with a simple nod, he brought his hand up to my cheek gently running his thumb down my jaw towards my chin. Lifting it ever so slightly as he slowly leaned down he placed his lips to mine. My eyes fluttered shut as I felt how soft and warm his lips were, he pulled me closer to him deepening the kiss. I could feel how much he was enjoying this kiss against my stomach. I gasped in shock and felt his smirk against my lips. We pulled away from each other panting, I watched him with lust-filled eyes as he seemed to stiffen and his composer changed.

“Get your hands off of her!” Azriel’s voice bellowed from behind me, spinning around I was expecting to see my friend Azriel but was met with The Shadowsinger, Spymaster of the Night Court.

“Azriel” I gasped, taking a step away from Eris. Azriel didn’t say anything and I could tell he was having a silent conversation with Rhysand.

“Rhysand and Feyre would like you to have a discussion with both of you” he said looking at me, then cocking his head to the side and glaring at Eris. Taking massive steps he began stalking towards the entrance of the door back into Hewn City, his shadows gently pushing me to follow.

K like Eris with a reader who’s like rlly into cute things and loves his dogs

Apparently cute things evolved into thoughtful gifts for Eris haha I hope you enjoy my first one-shot fluffy Eris x Reader fic :) I have a long-form multi-part Eris Fic coming soon!

Gifts

Eris x Reader

Summary: Eris finds his mate sitting on the floor surrounded by their dogs she has been waiting for him to finish work so she can give him a few gifts. Warnings: None, just fluff

Word Count: 918

I am sitting on the floor surrounded by thirteen dogs, the smallest of the bunch Flint is in my lap jumping up and trying to give me kisses. Eris had gotten me a puppy for our 5-year anniversary and I adored the little guy. The other dogs were laying around me watching as I played with the pup. The hounds were always watching over me when Eris wasn’t around. I heard the door opening and looked up to see the love of my life leaning against the door frame smirking at me.

“My love, why were you sitting on the floor?” he said stepping into the room eyes never leaving me, a few of the dogs got up to go and sniff their master his hands mindlessly patting them on the heads.

“Giving the dogs the attention they deserve” I state matter-of-factly, he chuckles and watches me for a few minutes.

“Will I also be getting the attention I deserve?” he winks at me.

“Always” I say knowing exactly what I have planned for tonight. I place Flint on the floor and push myself up and nearly trip over 3 different dogs, Eris is instantly beside me gripping my waist to keep me steady. I wrap my arms around him and snuggle into his chest. “How was your day?”

“Boring, as usual. How was yours?” he said simply pressing a kiss to the crown of my head.

“I went shopping today and got you a few things” I smiled proudly stepping away from him.

“My love you did not have to do that” he said, but I could tell he was excited. He loves it when I bring home surprise gifts for him, he’d never admit it but he enjoys being spoiled. Standing up on my tiptoes I lean in pressing a soft kiss to his lips before disappearing into our bedroom to grab the items. I return to find him sitting in front of the fire with his legs resting on the low-lying table. Settling down beside him on the brown leather couch, I sit facing him I want to be able to watch his reactions to my gifts. “I called to have tea delivered” he smiles at me placing his hand on my leg. Returning his smile while handing him the first gift, it was a brown leather-bound journal with gold-gilded edges.

“I figured you’d be needing a new one soon and I got myself a matching one” I smile placing a second one on the table. “Thank you” he chuckles leaning over to place a kiss on my cheek, a knock sounds from the doorway. “Come in” he calls out, as our main servant Florence enters the room with a large platter containing a teapot, two matching tea cups and a plate overflowing with Eris’s favourite cinnamon apple biscuits. She brings it over towards the table and places it gently before us.

“Will there be anything else my lord and lady?” Florence said bowing to us.

“That’ll be all for now. Thank you, Florence” I respond smiling at her, she bows again exiting the room. Eris leans forward pouring us each a cup of tea and grabbing a biscuit. “I guess you won’t be wanting your second gift then.”

“Who said I didn’t” he smirks in between bites of his biscuit. I grab the second gift, it was a metal tin containing our favourite maple candies. His eyes went wide as he grabs the tin from my hand, pulling the lid off and popping a piece of candy into his mouth.

“They’ve been sold out everywhere, how’d you get them?” he mumbles around the candy.

“I’ll never tell” I smirk at him taking a sip of my tea and returning it to the table. “Just one gift left to go.” Putting down the candy jar and focusing all his attention on me I hand him a small white gift box with a large red bow tied around it. “Now technically this is a gift for both of us.” I blush and he eyes me suspiciously, he begins to lightly shake.

“Is that so?” smirking at me like he already knew what was inside the box. He slowly begins untying the bow I felt the heat blooming in my stomach, his eyes lifting to mine as he scents my arousal. Removing the lid he looks into the box to be greeted by a deep red set of lingerie. “I require a fashion show Pet” he demands eyes darkening as he hands me the garment, blushing at the use of the nickname that was saved for the bedroom.

“Anything for you my High Lord” I say in the most sultry voice I can muster, snatching the garment. I walk through the bedroom into the bathing chamber changing into the nearly non-existent fabric and stepping out of the room to find Eris already waiting on the bed. He looks me up and down with such intensity.

“Utterly breathtaking” he says in a husky voice standing up and striding towards me. He grabs my hips pulling me into a passionate kiss. He pulls away and steps back to look at me again. “Thank you for my gifts Pet, now let me give you a gift.” He purrs as he lifts me up I wrap my legs around his waist, resuming our kiss. Suddenly I am on my back on the bed with his prowling over me, the look in his eye told me I was in a long night.
