Shadow Puppets

For the amazing @leiaamidala!! I'm your Secret Santa this year, and I hope you love cheesy, Elriel fluff! Thank you for being such an amazing person and a wonderful friend. I wish you a year full of happiness and cheer (and confirmation 😘)!! ❄🎄

This fic is based on the artwork linked here.

My fanfic account: @tswaney17fics

My ao3 account: tswaney17

Please let me know what you think about this update. I love getting your feedback. Constructive criticism is always welcome. 💕

Trigger warnings: minor language. Mostly tooth-rotting fluff

Word Count: 1,136

This fic will be posted on AO3 only. Read here.

Azriel shadow-walked them to the front door of their home from the River Manor. Typically, he preferred to fly. But with Elain two months from giving birth to the twins, and their adopted Illyrian son, flying became too much of a challenge to do so safely. Especially since Kaden was still learning how to properly fly, having not been taught before he was left at the orphanage, nor during his time spent there.

It was something Azriel could relate to more so than anyone else. That fear of flying becomes ingrained into your mind without realizing it until you’re standing on the edge of a cliff with a looming drop before you.

Kaden had tremendously improved since they began their flying lessons, but he still struggled to maintain himself if caught in a wind draft and Azriel preferred not to have his pregnant wife in his arms should he need to save his son.

So, when it was the three of them—soon to be five, gods spare him—he preferred the easier method of transportation. He still couldn’t believe they were going to be a family of five soon. He didn’t know what he did to be blessed with such a beautiful wife and the most perfect children. Lord knows he had done atrocities for the sake of his court. But somehow, through all the darkness surrounding him, Elain saw the light he never knew was shining inside of him.

A soul to match hers.

~~~~~

Remember, sharing is caring! Please reblog if you liked the fic. It helps spread my work and I truly appreciate it. 💕

Who are your top fanfic writers for Elriel? I am needing more fics to read. Yours are amazing, and I think I've read some more than five times, but I need more!

Thanks anon! That's sweet of you.

Now, I don't read a lot of fanfics anymore. I used to, but I feel like many of the good writers are gone or don't update frequently at all. So my recommendations are based purely on what brought me joy and what had really good writing.

@thefangirlofhp will always be No 1. Remarkable writing. Heartwrenching. Gorgeous. Thoughtful.

@featherymalignancy sheer level of imagination, great writing, exceptional dialogue are all unparalleled

@tswaney17 I still fangirl over her. She was my first 'Elriel celebrity' who said 'hi' to me. :) Her writing made me laugh, made me cry, made me want to throttle her, and she still produces awesome pieces.

@lady-therion If you haven't read her, please do yourself a favour and read her incredibly imaginative and beautifully written prose. You'll always get lost in the worlds she created.

@theladyofdeath and @snelbz the dynamic duo. Their output was huge, but if you haven't read The Arrival, you're missing something in your life

@dottielovegood if you haven't read Pretty Little Angel then what are you doing with your life?

Oh man. @elainsweetcobalt and I are kicking off Elriel Month 2023 with an absolute banger (no pun intended).

Shy Glances/Restricted Touches

We told the artist (not in the fandom) to basically imagine all the sneaking around and what it could lead to and they did NOT disappoint..Even better, we contacted the brilliant @tswaney17 once we got the art back, and her insanely talented brain wrote a whole ass steamy fic to go with it-we’ll add the Ao3 link here

🌶️ version under the read more

Hi guys, long time no see! I've no been very active bc of some real life stuff, but I'm here with a snippet of smut from a fic I'm writing for elucien. It was inspired by @krem-does-stuff's wonderful art of a glorious, naked Lucien. Please go to her page to see it, because it was truly a blessing.

As you can imagine, the snippet of writing I have is nsfw so read at your own risk!

“Well Elain, I’m not sure the dreams you’re having about me are so lady-like. Why don’t you tell me what you dream of so I can assess it for myself?” She shook her head at that, so he took another step towards her. “You won’t tell me, but I think I can guess something. The material your dreams are based on might be scandalous for your human standards, but I bet they’re nothing compared to what I’d actually do to you.”

“What would you do?”

Lucien smirked. “That question is enough for me to know you’re not a good girl Elain.” He took another step towards her, caging her in against the work surface in the kitchen as he leaned in to whisper in her ear. “I would first spend time getting to know your body. I want to know which parts of your body make you gasp when I touch them, which parts make you shudder in pleasure and which parts make you cry out. It would be easy to touch your pussy during my explorations, and you’d be begging me to touch you properly, but I know that I have to pay your body enough proper attention. Once I get to your pussy, I know I won’t be able to come up for air.”

ELRIEL FIC RECS

i found this ship through all those headcanons by @propshophannah way back in the ACOMAF days lol and got officially hooked after reading @lady-therion's 'at second sight' - the writing, characterization, TENSION oh man i re-read it every year it's THAT good. anyway, since i can't draw or write like all you wonderful people out there pls accept this as my humble contribution to elriel month 🙈 here are some of my fav elriel fanfics that i've read through the years - hope y'all enjoy and happy reading! p.s you can find the rest of my fic rec lists here.

oneshots

CARDINAL CATASTROPHE by mango Elain reaches out to Azriel after that dreaded Solstice night and they once again meet under the moonlight in the River House - but everything is different now.

TOTEMS OF COMFORT by mango The inner-circle just had an evening meal following the events of ACOSF and Azriel and Elain are nowhere to be found. What Feyre and Cassian stumble across pulls more heartstrings than expected.

EYE OF THE STORM by loverloverlover It's been two weeks since solstice, two weeks since Rhys ordered Azriel to stay away from Elain. He doesn't listen.

IN SECRET by charnelhouse Az goes. No questions. No second-thoughts.

BRAVE ENOUGH TO TELL YOU by thewraithsofmorhogg She’d come to the conclusion that some blasted pot wasn’t going to tell her who was her One and Only; Elain would decide for herself.

MAIDEN OF THE GARDEN by bajablessed Elain never knew that a mating bond could be so wonderful.

A POWERFUL COST by radientwings Elain's visions slowly start killing her, but Azriel isn't about to let that happen.

FOR A TASTE OF YOU (I WILL DO ANYTHING) by keeparecordofthewreckage Another year, another Starfall - it's been weeks upon weeks of awkward avoidance between Azriel and Elain since the night of Winter Solstice. Will they find it within themselves to admit their true feelings?

CALL OUT MY NAME by myownremedy On their way to the northern most Illyrian war-camp, Azriel and Elain get caught in a freak snowstorm and are forced to find shelter.

BLOOM by swishandflickwit Elain receives a gift from Azriel who, perhaps, is given one in return.

EVERYTHING WORTH LIVING FOR by hannahetesta

multichapter

AT SECOND SIGHT by lady_therion Elain accidentally turns Azriel into a dragon 🐉🐉🐉

SECRET SESSIONS by tswaney17 Elain is already doing a bunch of training on the side - and tracking down Bryaxis would be part of that - when she's caught by someone.

THE SHADOWS THAT SING by danydragons21 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?

A COURT OF DUSK AND SHADOWS by bajablessed The Cauldron never bothered to give explanations - not when it mattered. Do what it wanted, and her heart would be free. Not yet, pretty, lovely thing, it crooned, and a scream built in her throat. Not yet -

GOODNIGHT, BELOVED series by moonlight_rain Elain discovers why Azriel has been avoiding her.

YOUR VOICE IN AUTUMN by thefangirlofhp In which Elain Archeron is voiceless but she makes people hear her loud and clear.

SHADOWS AND SORROW by katsum1 Almost a year after the events in ACOSF, Elain tries to figure out how she fits into the Night Court, wanting to find a purpose. When more of her gifts are uncovered, she jumps at the chance of serving the court in new ways. Meanwhile Azriel continues to wonder how he can feel so drawn to a female who belongs to another.

A COURT OF RESILIENCE AND IRON by gunrunner While feelings of inadequacy always threaten to drag her down, Elain must also deal with the burdensome reality of being the only known Seer in Prythian. Throw in an unwanted mating bond, and the unrequited feelings for one extremely handsome Illyrian, and Elain has a full plate of problems.

VISIONS OF YOU by miss_belivet 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.”

A COURT OF FATE AND FORESIGHT by airelemental Elain always felt it; like the looming weight of an arrow about to strike her heart. Impressions of the cauldron's talons lived all over her, manifesting themselves into a permanent noose around her neck.

ALL'S WELL THAT ENDS WELL (TO END UP WITH YOU) by miss_belivet In another world, Elain serves Azriel at Solstice dinner, a bond between them snaps, and they are sent into the mating frenzy as chaos ensues around them.

A NECKLACE OF ROSES by helloyesimkate Reminiscent of Aelin being taken by Maeve (Azriel is mostly "oh shit oh no Elain's been taken fuck shit hell no shit" but Elain actually gets some stuff done.)

ENCHANTED by julesherondalex Elain has always known there’s more to her feelings towards Az than just friendly affection. When Azriel and Elain are sent to Adriata on a diplomatic mission, could this finally be the chance for close friends to become even closer?

TENDER JAR by feathery_malignancy When Elain has a vision concerning both Lucien and Graysen, she steels her courage and braves first the Spring Court and then the Mortal World, Azriel at her side. Lines are drawn and Elain must decide whether she will let her past shatter her or give in to the desires of her tender heart.

SHADOWS AND DREAMS by diggingtherabbithole Decades later, Elain and Lucien both accept each other as second choices, with Vassa once again being confined to the lake and Azriel never leaving his shadows.

OF SCARS AND ROSES series by ymaoh Elain Archeron has a vision and her relationship with the spymaster takes a turn.

A SURPRISE BUN by tswaney17 Elain has a secret, one that even the male she's been seeing doesn't know about yet. But when Cassian shows up unannounced at the townhouse, everything comes crumbling down around her.

ALL THIS TIME by i_will_always_find_you Elain decides to reject her mating bond to Lucien, only to find that what she had been looking for was in front of her all along.

FUNDAMENTALS IN CARING FOR HOUSE PLANTS by insulindsay Elain is a novice house-sitter and Azriel has an abundance of house plants in need.

EVERY ROSE by rowenaschuyler Elain explores her sexuality and finds herself while navigating the tricky mating bond she isn't willing to break with Lucien.

PRETTY LITTLE ANGEL by dottielovegood One thing leads to another, and Elain finds herself at a BDSM club. At a BDSM club with Azriel. At a BDSM club that Azriel owns.

PERFECTLY ALIGNED by rhysanoodle Elain Archeron is struggling to adjust to her new life as a High Fae. Luckily for her, she's about to become friends with a mysterious male and through him discover untapped powers and healing.

modern au

LOVE LETTERS by thefangirlofhp “And I'd choose you; in a hundred lifetimes, in a hundred worlds, in any version of reality, I'd find you and I'd choose you.” – Kiersten White

ALL OF ME by julesherondalex Elain and Azriel spend Valentine's Day together watching Elain's favorite movie series - about certain handsome, winged Fae. They start the night as friends, but Cupid might have other plans.

When a threat arises, Elain and Azriel have to figure out a way to co-exist again while not letting their history or feelings get in the way.

NAVY SUITS & CHELSEA BOOTS by feathery_malignancy On the eve of Rhys and Feyre's wedding, Azriel decides to swallow his pride and finally make his move with Elain. However, if he wants her attention, he's going to have to win it from her douchebag boyfriend, Graysen.

SWEET TEMPTATION by eherondale01 After the fall of her father's jewelery empire, Elain Archeron left the world of social events and galas behind her. Working in a small bakery, Elain's life has become rather ordinary, right up until a certain mysterious, handsome stranger appears.

Happy birthday to my angel @tswaney17 💕

I’m sorry I haven’t had time to write you a full birthday fic with all the EM prep, but here’s a little drabble just for you. Love you endlessly 🤍

***

“I’m thirty Azriel. Thirty!”

Elain was sat up in bed, the covers pooled around her waist and hair adorably disheveled.

Azriel just gave her a flat look from the mattress besides her. Rolling onto his side, he crooked a muscled arm to rest his head in his hand.

“So you’ve been saying. And this is a problem, why?”

“Because it’s old!”

He chuckled. “If you think thirty is old, what does that make me?”

“That’s unfair. Men don’t age, they just get hotter,” she grumbled petulantly.

“From where I’m sitting, you’re still pretty fucking hot, Elain.”

Her chocolate brown eyes leveled him with a flat stare. “Not the point.”

She groaned, dramatically flopping back onto the mattress and pulling the quilt with her, burying her head beneath the covers.

Azriel laughed before diving under there with her, pulling the doona over their heads and turning in the sheets to face her. The sunshine from her bedroom window filtered through the covers, cocooning them in a fort awash with soft golden light. He brushed a strand of brown hair out of her eyes, tucking it behind her ear.

“What’s really bothering you?” He prompted gently.

He knew Elain wasn’t vain, she wouldn’t be bothered simply because of aging. Something else had to be troubling her.

“I just don’t feel like I’ve really…lived. Fine, I have a decent job, and good friends, and you. But- what have I actually done?”

She felt…unaccomplished? Had she bought into the bullshit idea of needing to have your life together by now? Did she believe the lie that society had dictated thirty was the end of the line?

Thirty was just the beginning. You’ve somewhat found your place in the world and the true friends that will ride out life with you. You finally make enough money to do the things you love and still have the energy to do it. And you finally stop giving a fuck.

If only she knew how good it was about to fucking get.

“How can you say you’ve done nothing?” he replied gently, treading with care. Because although he knew those pressures were some grade A bullshit, he also knew women felt them more acutely than men.

“Look at all the people you make happy every single day just by existing. Look at all the lives you’ve touched simply by making it to thirty. You certainly can’t say that for everybody.”

Elain looked at him skeptically, but her face had softened, her expression turning contemplative.

He’ll let her mull on it for a while. He knew she needed to come to her own conclusions about things.

Azriel just ran a hand down her arm, reaching her fingers and tangling them with his own. He fiddled with a ring she wore on her index finger, tracing the small blue stone that sat embedded within the delicate golden threads of its design.

“Happy birthday, Elain.” It was a hushed murmur over the rumpled sheets between them.

Snuggling herself into his embrace, she pressed her face to his chest.

“Thanks, Az.”

I’ve read everything you’ve put out and I must say… you are one of my favorite writers. Thank you for all that you do. Now, that I’m in a drought. Do you have any favorite Azriel/Elain writers?

Thank you so much for your kind words! This message really warmed my heart 💕💕

There are so many fantastic Elriel writers out there and it’s difficult to pick my favorites. I have read so many fics over the years that I have absolutely loved! I actually want to make a list of some of my favorite fics, but that will have to be a later project. So for now, I’ll just give you four writers that all have the ability to suck me into their stories and make me want to stay there:

Ultadverb Impossiblescissorspeachpaper Thesistersarcheron Tswaney17

Beautiful writers, creative stories and excellent smut!

But yeah, there are SO MANY more wonderful Elriel writers out there. Athena-85 published a list of Elriel writers recently that you might want to check out because every single person on that list is so talented!

Happy reading! ✨

I, Spy

🎄❤️🎄❤️🎄

@impossiblescissorspeachpaper my love, thank you so much for your friendship this past year.

Getting to know you has been an absolute joy. I wish you and your fam an amazing holiday season, and a happy and healthy 2023.

The following is just a little bit of silly, solsticey fluff. I couldn't remember whether you liked reading about kids or not, but this whole fic was written around Elain's last line haha.

I know, I know. Fair warning... it's terrible.

You'll see why. 🤣

Secret Santa out. ✌🏻

🎄❤️🎄❤️🎄

Read it on AO3 instead

1200 words

Modern AU

"Shadow" the cat was stolen shamelessly from @tswaney17's magnificent Across the Hallway fic. Thanks, Tay!

Rosa Archeron knew very well that she should be tucked up in bed—had, in fact, been there only five short minutes ago—but she needed to gather information for her father, to prove she could be the world's youngest spy. If she learnt the identity of Father Solstice, or at least what he looked like (something even her detective father hadn't been able to tell her), then she could brag at dinner tomorrow night and shut her cousin Nyx up for good.

Nyx was almost ten and insufferable with it. Who cared about being "big" when it meant one lost the best hiding spots? She didn't know why he was so happy about it.

Sleep could wait, some might say. Or maybe even there ain't no rest for the wicked, if she knew such a phrase at seven years old.

So Rosa had very quietly crawled out of bed, sneaked across the room she shared with her twin brother, Andy, while avoiding the squeaky floorboard that would alert her too-observant parents to her mission (because she may only be seven years old, but she wasn't born yesterday, thank you very much), and out the door onto the landing at the top of the stairs.

Phase one, complete.

Slowly crouching, before getting onto her belly, she poked her nose through the railings of the bannister and put the old spyglass she'd swiped from her ma's travel bag to her face.

Surveying the scene was very important, she knew. She couldn't just trust that her parents had gone to sleep yet. She and her brother had learnt that particular lesson when they were only five.

Phase two was going to be the hardest, because there was more than one squeaky step to this staircase at Rosehall, but if she made it all the way downstairs and into the back hallway, she could take the rear corridor to bypass her parents' bedroom door, making it to the lounge room, and getting through phase three undetected.

If all went to plan.

Her ma had better hearing than most people she knew, and her dad was just plain sneaky. Some days it seemed like he could slip into the shadows.

Taking a (quiet) deep breath, she worked up the courage to turn around and start descending the stairs backwards, on her hands and feet, avoiding steps number four and seven to perfection. Reaching the bottom without any noises she could hear, and pleased with herself, a small smile curved her mouth at one side.

Phase two was over; phase three should be much easier, especially since her eyes had, by now, adjusted to the dark.

Tip toeing across the flagstone floor to the far corner as silently as their black cat, Shadow, would have done, Rosa used the spyglass once more to check around the corner. Her ma and dad didn't sleep on this corridor, but one could really never be too careful, especially when one was up to mischief.

The coast being all clear, she kept up her tip toeing until she made it into the lounge room and, sliding behind the couch, breathed a sigh of relief.

Phase three? Tick. Now for phase four (hide) and phase five (stay awake until Father Solstice visited to deliver presents, making sure to get a good look at his face). She even had made sure not to drink much this evening, so she wouldn't have to run to the toilet and miss him. That would be awful.

Sitting for a minute, collecting her thoughts, Rosa decided that her best bet was still to hide under the sideboard along the west wall. Ideally she'd have got into her ma's camphorwood chest and ever-so-slightly propped the lid open with a folded bit of linen from inside, but it was too heavy to open by herself, and anyway, the hinges were too noisy.

The sideboard was still a good option; low enough that most people would miss her, especially in the dark, but she'd still have a clear view of anyone who came down the chimney, which was really the whole point of her mission.

Stifling a yawn, she crept out from behind the couch, grabbing her favourite solstice blanket as she went by, and crawled under the wooden cabinet in which her parents kept their good china. She loved watching as they got everything out for dinner parties, but she was still too young to be allowed the key herself.

Maybe Nyx was right; there would be at least some good from growing up.

After a little while, Rosa started to fiddle. Waiting was boring, after all, and she wished she was brave enough to get back out and swipe one of the gingerbread cookies that she and Andy had helped their ma make that morning, but the plate was for Father Solstice, and she didn't want to end up on the naughty list.

A few times she thought she saw some movement by the doorway, but maybe that was just her tired eyes playing tricks on her. Or the cat.

As the clock struck midnight she could have sworn she heard bells and footsteps, but nothing came of it.

Shadow found her in her hiding spot just before one o'clock, and promptly curled up beside her, purring happily.

Yawning some more, Rosa stretched her legs, careful to avoid knocking Shadow, and then brought them back under cover of the sideboard. Maybe she should have woken Andy up to help her out. She'd wanted to do this by herself, but it would be much easier to stay awake with her brother by her side. Louder, too, she supposed.

No, she decided as her eyes blinked closed for a little rest—just a quick one. She'd made the right choice in working alone tonight.

Thinking of the food that awaited her the next day kept her occupied for a little while, and then presents after that, but as it neared two o'clock she was needing to rest her eyes for longer and longer.

Just one more rest, then he'll come, Rosa thought. Just one—

***

At three o'clock on Solstice morning, Elain woke up to Azriel's gentle stroke of her hair and grinned.

"Has she fallen asleep yet?" She whispered.

"Finally," was his answer. "I just got her back to bed, she didn't even stir."

"It was a good effort on her behalf," Elain admitted. "She stayed awake far longer than I gave her credit for."

Azriel chuckled softly. "True, I'll give her that. The camera behind the elf on the shelf was a stroke of genius, though. And it helped that the cat was sticking out from under the sideboard, belly up and snoring."

Elain relaxed back into the pillows, content. "So, did Father Solstice get the extra presents out, and eat a cookie or two?"

"Three, in fact. Maybe next year we go with chocolate fudge or shortbread instead of ginger, though?" He murmured as he got back into bed.

Elain grimaced. "I'm sorry, the kids were insisting on gingerbread."

"That's alright." Az rolled over and looked at her, suddenly wicked. "You can make it up to me any time, you know."

"Come here then, Daddy Solstice."

Azriel only snorted as he pulled her to his chest.

elriel x mistletoe kissing but it's a human tradition and azriel doesn't understand it

Hello lovely!! Thank you for sending me this cute prompt! 🎄💕 I wrote a little something and posted it on AO3. Link is below. 💗

Under the Mistletoe

My fanfic account: @tswaney17fics

My ao3 account: tswaney17

Please let me know what you think about this update. I love getting your feedback. Constructive criticism is always welcome. 💕

Trigger warnings: minor language. Mostly tooth-rotting fluff

Word Count: 850

Read on AO3. Snippet beneath the cut.

Azriel leaned a hip against the wall as he sipped from his glass of amber liquid. It was the good stuff—it always was the good stuff during the holidays. Rhys made sure of it.

His family had scattered throughout the sitting room, watching a toddler-sized Nyx play with all the new toys he received. His happy squeals and sweet giggles kept the adult’s attention enough for him to sneak into one of the darkened alcoves just to observe the others. And for some peace and quiet. Azriel loved his family, he really did. But they were a loud, rowdy group, of which he was not.

The only person who noticed his absence from the sitting room was the one he was hoping would seek him out. She always seemed to catch him trying to sneak away. It was one of many things they had in common.

“Hiding out?” Elain said quietly, pink lips quirking up.

Azriel slid his gaze over her body, taking in the amethyst-colored gown she wore. Her golden-brown hair glowed like a summer dawn in the gilded fae lights. She was gorgeous. He told her as much, earning a bashful smile in return.

your voice in autumn: act v (in other words)

“Yes, evil often seems to surpass good. But then, in spite of us, and without our permission, there comes at last an end to the bitter frosts. One morning the wind turns, and there is a thaw. And so I must still have hope.” —Vincent Van Gogh

Read here on AO3, this is only the first block of the chapter. Word count: 18,000

here it is, folks! five consecutive chapters later and I have finally written down -fin- on this one monster of a fic. angst with a happy ending, as promised!

(in another life)

She could have chosen him when he asked.

She could have married him in secret.

She could have memorized the sleep lines his pillow leaves on his face.

She could have heard all forty-three nicknames of hers roll off his tongue.

They could have travelled the world, just the two of them, making their own modest way. Her with her violin, him with his sword skills. She’d have knelt in the field of tulips with him at her side, and mourned her father together.

In this life, though...

In this life, she replaces him as an intelligence officer, joins Rhys and the twins in their quadrigal system and completes assignments, installs kings in Rask and exploits loopholes and is praised for her success. She decodes messages from spies, visions in her vulnerable sleep, runs assessments of risks and formats reports to her High Lord and Lady.

In this life, she wonders: had he lived under this heavy of a burden on his shoulders?

She wonders: was he even the person she thought he was? When the dust settles and confusion is an agitated snake roaming and thrashing on the floor, Elain curls in her apartment in a corner and thinks about all the Others she is not living, and she is terrified.

Of that solitary burning desire for all those lives she’s lost—she wants comfort. A life of mediocrity, of great silent love as steady and sure as an undisturbed river, where she doesn’t have to step out of her bubble, where she feels content and happy all the time and she has everything she could dream of but she’s frightened of giving in to that comfort because it is there, at arm’s reach—no, it’s at her fingertips. She’s lived it, for a long while, with no consequences; how many months had she wasted away in her bed and chair and gardens? The world had not been better off or worse from her lack of involvement; she can, in all good faith, return to her gardens, and her mellow existence of yearning for her old life and dreams.

In this life, though, Elain clutches her head, stares into empty space, and combs through everything she believed about the male she thought had hung the moon and winked the stars into existence.

Recent Recs - June 4, 2022

Here is a list of fantastic works by amazing authors that I highly recommend.

18+ years old or older - assume all fics have adult content!

Marvel

Steve Rogers:

His Inheritance by @jtargaryen18: Your father is the head of one of the most powerful crime families in Boston but he’s protected you from that life. In your quiet home outside the city, you’ve been cared for and protected. When the desires of a more powerful man with the will to dominate bursts into your life, all your illusions are shattered as he comes to claim what is his. (Mob!Steve Rogers AU)

A Few Good Reasons by @angrythingstarlight: Steve has a few good reasons to get up this early. All of them revolve around the pretty new waitress that just started at his favorite diner. (Biker! Steve AU)

Matilda Rose by @christycurlswrites: the relationship between you & Steve fell apart. Four years later, Steve learns he has a daughter.

Bucky Barnes:

Thin Ice by @angrythingstarlight: Bucky has a few rules. The most important is that you always tell him you love him when you leave the house. Because “I love you, Bucky” are his four favorite words. (cute Biker!Bucky AU!)

Bucky’s Bumblebee by @angrythingstarlight: fearsome mob boss James Barnes is ruthless. His tiny little girl has him wrapped around her finger!

Stucky:

Right Under Your Nose by @foxgloveprincess: It’s not your fault that you bump into two super soldier and endear yourself to them. Seriously. You have no idea what they see in you, but having friends you can trust implicitly is nice. Right?

Henry Cavill & characters

Syverson:

And So Much More by @sillyrabbit81: after a disappointing blind date, your best friend’s older brother comes to pick you up.

Even if You Don’t Mean It by @sillyrabbit81: an unexpected phone call from a brief fling leads to a long-distance romance.

Where Kindness Grows by @rmtndew: The Great Depression took its toll on a lot of people and some had to get creative to survive. Seraphina’s father decides his solution is to sell his only daughter to a much older man. But when Sy overhears a conversation about the young woman, he makes a decision that will change his life - and Seraphina’s - forever.

People Like Us by @rmtndew: Sy is set up on a blind date with a single mom. When the babysitter cancels, so does his date. But Sy is determined to salvage what he can.

ACOTAR

Elain & Azriel:

A Surprise Bun by @tswaney17: Elain has a secret. One that even the male she’s been seeing doesn’t know about yet. But, when Cassian shows up unannounced at the townhouse, everything comes crumbling around her as her secret comes to light. And now she must face the reality of her hidden relationship with Azriel and the consequences it has brought.

Season of the Rose by @fawnandshadows: The agreement has been signed for the engagement of Lady Elain and Lord Lucien Anserra. Everything has been arranged - or has it?

Blooming Shadows by @fawnandshadows: “Are you ready?” Azriel asked from the shadows. His tall frame leaned elegantly against the wall in the study, shadows licked and swirled around him as if shielding him from Elain’s gaze. It made her heart cry, seeing him hidden around her. There was a time when his shadows would vanish completely when she entered a room. When he would look at her and smile, but now, ever since the solstice, something had changed.

In the Garden by @fawnandshadows: Elain saw Azriel watching her in the garden from a window. When she beckoned him to join her, he refused. But he can’t resist the lure of the loveliest flower forever.
