    Summary

    "No room for hope had he, yet, none the less,
    The thick-leaved shadowy-soaring beech-tree grove
    Still would he haunt, and there alone, as thus,
    To woods and hills pour forth his artless strains.
    "Cruel Alexis, heed you naught my songs?
    Have you no pity? you'll drive me to my death."

    -Eclogue II, Virgil's Eclogues

    “Speak to me,” he breathes, at last. He begins to hum softly, feeling, reaching out. “Speak to me as the fawns speak to the new grass, as the dew speaks to the thistles. Embrace me in the deep dark as a lover. Hold me as the sky holds the Earth.” He closes his eyes, losing himself in the crashing of the waves below, the gentle breeze that billows his cloak like a caress.

    Summary

    "In her mind, she knew those very hands could be capable of wielding gentle pleasure, just as they wielded the sharp edge of a blade. Masterful and to a rare skill of something altogether Godly."

    Gwyn was spiralling.
    So fast and hard she barely could keep her grip on the world she had clawed up Ramiel for.

    Azriel was burning.
    So fierce and wild, he couldn’t help the long-forged walls that he had built going ablaze.

    Some scars, no matter how different, look the same in the dark.

    What happens when an unstoppable force meets an immovable object, both spinning and flaming to the depths of the past? What happens when hidden scars are revealed, and we step into the shadows of our hearts?

    Set post ACOSF, a Gwynriel story.

    The insinuation didn’t make her mad. It didn’t comfort her. But it did strike a chord. “My instincts are the only reason I’m alive. They’re why those children in Sangravah survived.”
    Azriel descended to the grounds of the river house. “Then perhaps you should listen to them.” He set her down gently and the moment she opened her mouth to retort, he cut her off. “I told you I would wait. I meant it.”
    His words rendered her dumbfounded. They were the words of a male devoted. A male who knew her far longer than Azriel had. But she didn’t reject them, because her tears over his broken body had been the tears of a female who had lost a part of their soul. A female bound to him.
    “Shall we?” said Azriel, gesturing up at the river house.
    And Gwyn nodded, for she knew no words.

    Summary

    From one day to the other, her uncle's ambivalence had turned to cruelty until Aemond Targaryen's presence was enough to make her cower. But when she comes face to face with him in the halls of Storm's End, she has to be braver than she ever thought herself capable to protect her little brother.

    Summary

    You are smoke. Azriel is shadow. Together, you are legend.

    When the Cauldron goes missing, the source of your power is threatened. In the wrong hands, you could be left to turn to ash. So you reach out across the sea to the land where the last war over this overpowered pot was waged. To Prythian. To the Night Court.

    In the name of preventing the end of the world (again) you join forces with the mysterious High Lord Rhysand and his armies. Hunting down the thieves, you trade a lot more than whispers with his Spymaster:

    Azriel Shadowsinger.

    (ALL CHARACTERS (SAVE FOR OC) ARE THE CREATION AND PROPERTY OF SARAH J MASS)
