It was a well known fact: the veil between the worlds grew thinner and thinner, so the possibility of a crashing was already a certainty. The rumours started a long time ago, but no one did anything to stop it. Luckily, time has passed, we went through wars and race eradications, but Faerie Realms and Mortal Lands stayed almost the same, some richer and some poorer.

Nobody was talking about the fallen, untill now, when the fates started working their old, wicked magic and gave us an early Summer Soltice gift: an unprepared girl who was sent tumbling from the sky.

Tumultuous and dangerous,

Bitter and heartbreaking.

This is the story of the Evening star.

About the young woman who holds the Sun as her weapon,

And the Moon as an ornament.

About the Cursed Crown, who chooses its own master

And about the man in the shadows, irreversibly bound to her, by the tongue of death.

And, after all, about us, the nothingness who catches a goal.

I am the Bloody Blade, former leader of the first legion, last of my kind, banished and tormented by dark memories and here is the beginning of our story.

Uhhhh

so I’ve been AWOL recently, sorry about that! Though I am working on the fic, it’s taking a while to figure everything out since I haven’t attempted writing a proper fic before so I’m trying to get as much right as possible.

Anyway, I thought I’d give you guys some clipped out sections as an apology 🧡

‘He wanted to tear his heart from his chest and set it alight for all the pain coursing through him.

How could you how could you how could you?

He might have screamed those words too.’ - Azriel finding the letter

‘It was a report from a spy in Spring.

A few specks of blood dotted the lower corner.’ - Part 19 - Deceit and Torture

‘When you woke, it was to the pitter-pat of a light rain on your back, the cold wind whipping at your muddied hair. It took a few moments for you to remember what had happened, a few more moments after that to keep your head calm.’ - Confusion and traitors

‘You turned your head to look at him, finding tears streaking his beautiful face. “Why are you crying?” He asked.

You’re crying too.’ - Untitled

‘A shiver of excitement ran down your spine as a grin took over your mouth. It seemed he wanted to examine you, have a look at what you were made of. Give you something to chase.’ - Untitled

‘Come out, Spymaster’ - Part 21 - Let the hunt begin

‘You narrowed your brow as you peered up at him, “I’m beginning to think you have some sort of personal problem with me?” His face remained expressionless as he crouched, lowing himself to watch you more clearly. Silence passed, you chose to remain quiet, you’d extended enough olive branches for him to create a small bouquet.’ - Part 21 - Let the hunt begin

—whom the shadows sing for (and the thief’s echoing hymn)

FIC MASTERLIST

A story about one shadowsinger who did his time in the Illyrian Mountains and one warrior waiting out her own— who will do anything to keep her wings… even if it means posing as a Male.

fem!reader, mulan-esque au

1. STRANGERS

Someone in the Illryians Mountains has been making a name for themselves— a bastard like Azriel and his brothers, ruffling the feathers of a war camp's Lord. But they seem to have no loyalty to the fighting legion, or much to anyone for that matter.

2. ALLIES

Azriel trains you and is particularly unforgivable about it. Together, you tackle tonics. Azriel ponders the unmistakable pull he feels and you try your best to keep your secret under wraps.

3. COMPANIONS

Azriel leaves for Velaris. You reflect on old choices and everything that you lead you to where you are now— and realise it's been awhile since you had anyone to miss.

4. FRIENDS

You return to regular training for the first time in a month. Azriel asks a favor from Rhys and finds you in a less than stellar condition when he returns to camp.

5. CONFIDANTS

You test out if your efforts with the tonics are worth anything and Azriel bestows you with a gift. He asks about the Blood Rite and you ponder the strange, golden thread you've been feeling in your chest. Disaster strikes when night falls.

to be continued…

chapters 5/?

Cupid’s Sword

~Azriel X Fem!Reader~

GIF by naturegifs

Summary: Azriel has a crush but finds himself unable to approach them. Unable to just stand by and watch their friend’s desperate pining, Nesta and Cassian take it upon themselves to play Cupid and try and set them up. Will their efforts lead to success or is Azriel destined to remain single forever?

Warnings: Mentions of drinking. Stabbing but the good kind?

Azriel was staring again. Staring at her. His golden eyes hadn’t moved from her soft form all night, locked in place as if he were stuck in a trance. Which he may has well have been, her hypnotising features melted their way into his mind and invaded his senses, clearing them all of anything but her.

He found himself drawn to her like a moth to a flame. Her sweet voice carried from the bar where she was sat drinking with Nesta, causing his shadows to stir and attempt to crawl their way towards her in desperation for her presence. Her honeyed voice which delivered words like poetry, had always affected Azriel in ways he couldn’t explain. The velvet laugh that left her mouth as she spoke animatedly with her friend was as smooth as the whiskey Azriel was nursing.

Bounded by shadow and blood (18)

azriel x magic!fem!reader

Kynas walks up the steps to Dias. No one in the crowd reacts. He really had them under his control, which was scary. Controlling that much blood at once is not easy and it takes its toll.

You wonder if that is also why he looks so close to death, or if it’s the other powers running through him. How’d he do that?

“How did you get like this?” You ask.

He smiles at you from your brother’s side.

“Does my darling wife want to nurse me back to health? That’s sweet.” He snarls.

You wanted to buy time. Amren could have gotten the message but maybe she needed time to get here. And if the wards are down then the whole inner circle could help her. Not that they would help you, but if they knew the shadow singer was in trouble you have no doubt they would do all they could and more.

Your eyes waver over to the man in question. He looks stone cold. And he’s looking right at you. His face isn’t giving anything away. Not even the pain that he’s feeling because of Kynas.

He really should have left as soon as he got here.

“Well I think you should at least wear something more appropriate to my throne ceremony.” Kynas says.

...or the shadow singer has grown used to not being surprised by anything. In his line of work, he cannot afford to be surprised. But what can he do when he is tasked with getting answers to the impossible questions that surround you?

Skyfall | Azriel x reader [Part 1]

Skyfall [Masterlist] here!

Summary: Azriel's mate quite literally falls from the sky.

A/N: This used to be a Cassian x reader draft and also the very first acotar fic I ever wrote. Also, I finished editing this half-asleep at 1 in the morning so please excuse if it sucks, the next parts will be better, I promise!

This will be a series! Idk how many parts yet, but let me know if you'd like to be added to the taglist. ✨

Word count: 4163

Warnings: talk of and description of injuries and violence

Harsh winds cut through the layers of Azriel's fighting leathers as he stepped through the door of Rhys' cabin in the mountains, leaving all warmth behind. He watched Mor breathe into cupped hands, a frosty expression on her ethereal face that could have rivalled every inch of their icy surroundings.

"I don't understand," she huffed as she pulled her cloak a little tighter around her body, "why in the Mother's name you would deem this a good place to go hunting. Out of all the nice and cosy forests to choose from, you lot go with icy tundra. This is going to suck balls."
