The Garden of Thorns
SeeThemFlowers · 2021
Elain and Lucien navigate the mating bond neither chose. Set in the Day Court with gorgeous worldbuilding and the gentlest slow burn. The Elucien fic for believers.
A Court of Nightmares and Starlight
abookandacoffee · 2017
An ACOTAR continuation that scratches the itch for more Feysand. Court politics, mating bond drama, and Rhys being Rhys. If SJM won't give us more, the fandom will.
Embers & Light
daydreamingaboutfireflies · 2018
Written before ACOSF came out and arguably better. Nesta and Cassian from enemies to mates with gut-wrenching angst and 🔥 scenes. The Nessian fic.
The Garden of Elucien
SweetVillain · 2019
Elain and Lucien working through their rejected mating bond. She pushes him away. He gives her space. The patience in this fic is everything ACOTAR fans needed.
Spring Awakening
elain_archeron · 2022
Elain finally goes to the Spring Court. Lucien is there. The mating bond they've both been ignoring roars to life. Floral, lush, and deeply romantic.
A Court of Shadow and Song
duskandstarlight · 2021
Azriel and Elain circle each other while the bond between them grows impossible to ignore. The restraint. The shadows reaching for her. Everything we're waiting for SJM to write.
Golden Chains
velvetjane · 2021
Elain finally confronts the mating bond with Lucien. The slow acceptance, the journey to the Day Court, the discovery that maybe fate knew what it was doing. The Elucien fic we deserve.
A Court of Nightmares and Starlight
manonblckbeak · 2018
Post-ACOWAR. Feyre and Rhys navigate peace, parenthood, and Court politics. The domestic Feysand content we were robbed of.
From the Embers
damedehonneur · 2018
Pre-ACOSF Nessian. Nesta's walls vs Cassian's persistence. The tension could cut glass. Written before Silver Flames and arguably better.
Golden Threads
nessiantrash · 2019
Elain and Lucien navigate their rejected-then-accepted mating bond. Beautifully written Day Court worldbuilding.
The Shadow Singer's Mate
illyrianbeauty · 2018
Azriel and Gwyn circle each other in the training ring and everywhere else. The shadows like her. We do too.
The Wraith and the Spring
acotarfanatic · 2018
Elain accepts the mating bond. Lucien is terrified to hope. Their story in the Day Court, told with all the warmth and light the sun court deserves.
Blood and Bone
damedehonneur · 2018
Cassian trains Nesta before Silver Flames. Every session is a war. The push-pull between them could level the Illyrian mountains.
Stars Unbound
manonblckbeak · 2019
Feyre is pregnant. Rhys is terrified. The Inner Circle rallies. Domestic Feysand with all the softness and humor the Night Court deserves.
