Summary
**Inspired by OUTLANDER - Daily releases starting 4/09 -- 480+ pages complete**
Following the events of ACOSF, the Valkyrie must answer for their victory in the Blood Rite and face trial before the Illyrian Tribunal in Windhaven. Corporal punishment is certain, but there is one way around it for Gwyneth Berdara: Marriage.
“As Gwyneth Berdara’s husband, I invoke the right to accept whatever punishment is determined on her behalf.”
Slowly, the three Magistrates’ heads swiveled to Gwyn. The priestess swallowed hard.
“Miss Berdara,” Crispin said, “You can confirm that you are the wife of Spymaster Azriel?”
She did not hesitate. “Yes.”
Celio’s brows furrowed, while Crispin exhaled heavily.
“Thank you, for confirming, Miss Berdara,” Fabius said, his voice slick with mock amiability. “Please note that we reserve the right to call your union into question if we find justification.” He shifted his attention to Azriel. “Sustained, Spymaster Azriel.”Series

Summary
Gwyn has been selected for the Great Rite and is about to be sent to meet the other Priestesses in the Spring Court. She wants to participate, but she can't imagine being with a male she doesn't know - that she doesn't trust. But she trusts Azriel. Azriel who gave her private dagger lessons, who helped her set up the Valkyrie ribbon test, who spars with her alone in the training ring at night. He could be the solution to her problem. And maybe the answer to her prayers.

Spinsters do not need chaperones by ancoraimparo_youknowwho for Lilyofthevolume
Fandoms: Bridgerton (TV), Bridgerton Series - Julia Quinn
05 Sep 2025

Summary
In the year 1822, Mister Colin Bridgerton makes a grand return to England after almost 7 years of self imposed exile and reconnects with his estranged friend, Penelope. Will he be able to break the walls she keeps building between them and mend the bridges she is intent on destroying?
“What’s stopping you from living your life then, Pen? You’re living alone, aren’t you? No mother watching over your shoulder. No husband dictating your choices…”
“I mean, I can live alone, yes, but I’m still tethered. To reputation. To expectations. To the knowledge that no matter how independently I breathe, I will always be the subject of whispered pity or amusement. A woman alone is never just alone—she is sad, or defiant, or pitiful… never simply herself.”
“Come with me. For a month or two. See the world outside Mayfair parlours and boring soirees. You said you wanted to feel free. Let this be that.”
“But how? Where would we stay? What would people say, Colin? I’m not naïve—I know how this would look. Who would even accompany me as a chaperone?”
“Spinsters do not need chaperones, Pen. You said it yourself once.”

Of Death and Resurrection by TheTeaQueen
Fandoms: A Court of Thorns and Roses Series - Sarah J. Maas
05 Aug 2022

Summary
Nesta was prepared to die. For Feyre, she would give everything.
When Nesta sacrifices herself to save Feyre, the only person able to save her is the one who has hated her the most: Rhys.
Cassian was so tired of watching his mate drown in her self hatred, her despair, and he'd just wanted her to find peace. But now, he would do anything for her to wake up and come back to him, even if it meant living through that grief and sorrow all over again.
This is an AU for ACOSF, where Nesta trades her life for Feyre's instead of giving up her power, only it doesn't go as the Cauldron expects. This will focus heavily on Rhys and Nesta learning about each other and resolving their differences, as well as addressing how Nesta's trauma was handled by the IC (Also Rhys will apologize for his secret keeping).
CW: Sexual assault, suicidal thoughts/attempts/ideation, child abuse, trauma, grief, and death.
