Welcome to my masterlist ! Fluff? Never heard of her (well, it's here somewhere but you might have to dig a little). I only aim to hurt (with all my love) but somehow these characters always evade the worst of it and come out with a happy ending. One of these days I'll get them (update, I got them and I am full of shame about it - jk, I od not feel shame or remorse.). Read with caution.

My first contribution for @azrisweek 2026, 10k words of ragebaiting and hate sex. Enjoy!
Pairing: Azriel x Eris Vanserra
Rating: Explicit
Chapter Count: 1/2
Current Word Count: 10,114
Summary: Eris’ heart pounded away as he suppressed another laugh, the one bubbling in his chest uncomfortably real. He felt like he was about to drop from a great height, unsure if he would catch on the wind or plummet right into a sea of sharp rocks. “She’s ripe for the picking, Azriel,” Eris continued somewhat ravenously, unblinking. “Young, fresh-faced, dreadfully impressionable. Truly, I’m surprised she wasn’t the first snared into whoring herself out to Illyrian—”
The Autumn Prince was prepared this time, when Azriel launched from his post. His sentence turned into that damning cackle, a strange, foreign sound bursting from his mouth as he grasped Azriel's shoulders, and used the contact to winnow the two of them away.
You can find a small clip below the cut, and click here or the title to go right to the fic! I'll be adding my taglist in a reblog later in the day due to some time constraints haha, thanks for your patience!
Before the High Lords’ meeting could even come to its conclusion, Eris decided that he was certain that Azriel did not actually want to kill him.
He hadn't noticed it right away, too caught up in the force of a war-weathered Illyrian slamming into him, trapping him against the hard floor with strong thighs and unforgiving hands. But when he wasn't keeping an eye out for the volatile once-human parading as a High Lady, and her equally uncontrolled mate, and fending off literal attacks from the insufferable pair, Eris was thinking about that moment. He played it out in his mind like a stage show, imagining the fleeting experience from an outsider’s perspective. Over and over, a thought churning like a storm-whipped river underneath all the while: why didn't he kill me?
“Next time, you won't find so much fortune on your side.”
Eris could practically hear the words and feel the warm breath that came with him, skating over the ridge of his ear as precious air filled his lungs.
Fortune was a funny thing for Azriel to cite as Eris’ savior. Because in that moment, the Shadowsinger was the one who'd had all possible control. Eris had tried to fight, to call on his fire or drive a knee up to buck the Illyrian off of him, but the blue sphere of isolation Azriel had created for them hadn't been enough to separate Eris from the peace wards. Whatever magic Azriel used to tear through them did not transfer over to his victim, and the Prince had found himself entirely at the Shadowsinger’s mercy.
Literal mercy. Azriel hadn't killed him.
No, more than that. Azriel had taken express care not to kill him.
It had been a small detail that slipped away in the chaos of being attacked, but as Eris replayed the moment in his head over and over, the gesture became glaringly obvious.
The back of Eris' head needed no healing after the fact. It held its usual shape, no new divots or lumps, no blood staining his hair even redder, no spot flaring with tender pain when Eris ran his fingers harshly over his scalp.
And if Eris really concentrated, he could remember the feeling of a large warm hand gripping the back of his head, a few fingers curled around his neck to help stabilize it as he was tackled to the ground.
Azriel had slammed Eris into a marble floor, and hadn't even drawn blood.
Fortune. Was it fortune that forced Azriel's hand to protect Eris that way? The Prince thought not.
The notion exhilarated him in a way that he hadn't felt since he’d been spat out of the Mountain. Perhaps it was for this reason that Eris decided to test his theory.
“There will never be anything like you again. Not for me.”
The words were spoken like a promise, but the threat lurking in each sound was a noose around Eris’s neck. They had never been so careless but as secrecy strangled them, their longing only tightened the knots.
Inevitability was at their core,their love and their loss.
Holla at ya boi if you want on or off the Azris tag train:

Holy shit, Azris week starts literally this Sunday 😈😱🥵 This is like the Olympics and Thankgiving all in one.
Shoutout to @azrisweek for putting this event together for literally years. You all are the real ones. Thank you so much!!
I have an artwork or two coming out during Azris week. Please look forward to it 😁
1. What drew you to Azris?
Honestly, I was shocked when I first came across the ship. I thought it was a crackship and couldn't believe how popular it was. I specifically remember looking at the ceiling and going "What the fuck?"
But then it made sense--and the ship caught fire in my brain. It's like the twist at the end of the movie that totally reframes the previous ninety minutes. The puzzle pieces fell into place. The perfect enemies-to-lovers. Chef's kiss.
2. What themes do you explore most often in your fics? Do you have a favorite image or location to return to again and again?
In fiction, I love exploring the idea of an unwanted connection and having your expectations subverted. It takes a long time to pull that thread apart and earn the change of heart, so I like exploring kink in my short stories instead :D
In art, I really enjoy the theme of dorito-shaped shitless hotties. Broad shoulders, tiny slutty waist.
3. If you could only write one, which would you choose: Fluff or Angst? Yes, you must choose one.
Angst 😈
4. Favorite Azris AU? Why?
Modern or 1900+ Historical AU. The Cold War and modern statesmanship and corporate espionage is rife with opportunity to explore with Azriel and Eris!!
5. Name a favorite Azris fic/art that you've created. Why?
Unexpectedly, Come Back to Me is my favorite because of how much it stretched my skills as a writer. I really tried to convey the way one's life can fall apart when an obsessive idea takes over. It's kind of an out-there fic I guess?
6. Do you have a favorite ACOTAR pairing other than Azris?
Tamsand is delicious. The Azris to Tamsand pipeline is real.
7. Have you worn wigs?
Yes 🥰
8. Will Eris ever wear wigs?
When he finally enters his drag era, yes.
9. What are some of your favorite head cannons about Azriel? Eris?
I feel like my headcanons are so vanilla 😂 Scarred-body Eris. Bourbon-drinking Azriel. There is no innovation here.
10. Why do Eris and Azriel deserve each other?
Imo, they initially would not see each other as "deserving" each other; more like "what did I do to deserve getting paired off with you? 😒" hahaha But I think the parallels between their lives make them naturally fit: daddy issues and nice mommies.
Okay, okay, a more serious answer; they both know the acute pain and alienation that comes from family. To them, one's words, actions, and how one treats others is paramount. For them both, once a person proves themselves worthy of trust, that relationship is cherished. Both of them have and would go through hell again to help those they love, and I think each of them deserves someone who would do the same for them.
11. How do you find inspiration for your creations? (It could be music, other creators---anything!)
I think the Azris community itself inspires me a lot. I think there's a culture of throwing out ideas in the community that sparks a lot of ideas (see: Eris Vanstoola and Candy-Apple-Dick Eris (I swear, I'll get around to drawing this one day)).
I am also really inspired by the world, especially history. Documentaries are rich with new settings to explore: English civil war, 2008 financial crisis, the French revolution. AUs galore!!
12. Have you ever felt creatively blocked? How have you overcome it?
Yes!! I think being honest with what you love and enjoy can help lift a block. I find that blocks occur when you're not enjoying the subject you're creating anymore. I think it's worthwhile to get deep and be honest with what you love. In my case, it was love of smut, honestly.
13. Any advice for a content creator who is working up the guts to share/post for the first time?
Just post it. If it's too precious to you, then write a bad poem and post that first. Then you have the jitters over with. Idk, just have the confidence of a mediocre man. There's literally probably some guy who doesn't care about gay fae out there writing AI slop. Just post it. Done is better than perfect.
14. Are you a long or short haired Eris truther? Yes, you can only pick one.
I used to be short, then I became long. I'm sure I'll one day return to short. It's a circle.
15. If you could choose one court to live in Prythian, which would it be and why?
Sun. I love exploring Wikipedia and I am a lizard. Let me bake on a warm rock.
16. Azriel and Eris are having a silly disagreement. Something about socks on the floor, or dirty mugs in the sink. Maybe someone forgot to let the smokehounds out. Who are you more likely to side with?
Omg keep me out of this!!
17. Who has a worse temper: Azriel or Eris?
Azriel 100%. He'd totally say that he's not mad the whole time too.
18. What are some WIPs or ideas that you’re excited about?
So many. Wild west ABO. Foot fetish. Puppy Eris. 2008 Financial Crash AU. Then some of the Azris week oneshots last year have ideas where I can expand them into longfics. I literally need to stop having ideas. I need to get my fics done. Help. 😭
Tagging everyone on the tag train because LET'S GET THE AZRIS WEEK HYPE GOING!!!!!
Thank you to our organizers at @azrisweek for the questionnaire and an opportunity to yap about our favorite ACOTAR Ship - Azris!
If you want to participate, the questionnaire can be found here. Looking forward to the amazing art and fics that will be coming to our feeds starting June 7th!
Here We Go!
1. What drew you to Azris?
Who doesn't love a good snark-to-lovers story?
I loved the idea that SJM wrote breadcrumbs for an attraction between Eris and Azriel that she didn't seem to realize she put in the story.
The High Lord's meeting was just… foreplay, and Eris never reached for his fire to defend himself… as if he would never use fire against the Shadowsinger's burned hands. Then, after Azriel proclaimed he had to be tied to a tree in order not to rescue Eris, he still dropped everything (including Cassian) to rescue the Autumn Heir from their enemies. All while Eris, in Silver Flames, kept thirsting for information on his favorite Spymaster, over and over. Finally, Eris found Azriel (the best spy in Prythian) when he spied on Autumn, making us wonder if there is some type of… bond…? that allows the two to sense each other.
2. What themes do you explore most often in your fics? Do you have a favorite image or location to return to again and again?
I trend towards Azris fluff stories that end in domestic bliss. And favorite image or location? I tend to see the Autumn Court as the land of the Harvest, which includes wine and the crush. Eris in all of my worlds has a winery.
3. If you could only write one, which would you choose: Fluff or Angst? Yes, you must choose one.
Fluff. The fluffiest.
4. Favorite Azris AU? Why?
Any time Eris is a powerful corporate type, and Azriel gets to wear cool black clothes. Yum.
5. Name a favorite Azris fic/art that you've created. Why?
Still Tax Season, my guilty pleasure. And I adore the accompanying art by @thesavagegod. This was just fun, getting to write snark between our two fae in a modern setting. I desperately want to get the headspace to write the sequel.
6. Do you have a favorite ACOTAR pairing other than Azris?
I have a soft spot for Tamlin and Rhysand. Pretty much every story of mine has some background reference to these two having a past romance. I love Tamsand stories and art.
7. Have you worn wigs?
Yes. I look spectacular in wigs.
8. Will Eris ever wear wigs?
Oh no. Not the Lord of Luscious Locks. He will always use his natural hair.
9. What are some of your favorite head cannons about Azriel? Eris?
These two are the most touch-starved, love-lorn, yearning fools who cannot communicate if their lives depended on it. Only when they grasp that it is worth more to commit and communicate will these two realize they have the perfect opportunity for a beautiful partnership.
10. Why do Eris and Azriel deserve each other?
These two are both reluctant villains by circumstance. Eris is trapped in his role as the dutiful son, supporting the worst of the High Lords, Beron. Eris tries so hard to come up with a better future for Autumn, but the cage of his situation keeps him from making any progress. He is smarter than Beron, but not more cunning, which is going to be a problem in removing the current High Lord.
Azriel, who was imprisoned and tortured as a child, was made the Spymaster, which included interrogation by Rhysand. I don't believe that Azriel likes this part of his job, even if he is good at it. Azriel's lack of social skills from childhood, introspective nature, scary shadows, and scarier reputation mean Azriel has difficulty finding connection.
These two, once they start communicating, will find out that they relate to each other the best of all other fae in the world. When these two break out of their respective virtual prisons and work together, they will be a force multiplier for good in Prythian. They deserve this chance at a future.
11. How do you find inspiration for your creations? (It could be music, other creators---anything!)
Prompts, riffing, thinking inappropriately about Azris in work and life… all are inspirations. I have a notepad on my phone for the random inspiration that strikes.
12. Have you ever felt creatively blocked? How have you overcome it?
Oh, heck yes, and right now I am feeling it! When work gets stressful, or my life has events that drain my energy, I cannot write for anything. The only cure for me is to take my time, get some real sleep, and find a quiet space in my day to allow my mind to settle before I can get the words flowing again. Sometimes, that means a hiatus, or a writing break of a couple of weeks.
13. Any advice for a content creator who is working up the guts to share/post for the first time?
Oh, great question. It took me an embarrassingly long time to publish my first fanfic and chapter. Here's a few thoughts:
Don't worry about your fic being perfect or literary art. As you explore writing, you will find that your confidence and talent will grow as you post more.
Find a pseudonym you like and that is broad enough for multiple fandoms. Yes, I love WarriorAccountant - if nothing else, it's a conversation starter.
Find a fandom community that brings you joy and support. If there are folks bringing you down... blocking is always an appropriate decision.
Most of all, if writing is fun and fandom is an inspiration to write, go for it! Why not? As someone who found this activity later in life, I can tell you it's been a wonderful adventure, and I am glad every day I convinced myself to hit "post".
14. Are you a long or short haired Eris truther? Yes, you can only pick one.
Long haired Eris truther. This male knows he's pretty.
15. If you could choose one court to live in Prythian, which would it be and why?
Dawn. Artisans, healers, comfortable living, and Peregryn eye-candy. Second would be Autumn, because there's wine.
16. Azriel and Eris are having a silly disagreement. Something about socks on the floor, or dirty mugs in the sink. Maybe someone forgot to let the smokehounds out. Who are you more likely to side with?
Eris. He's always right.
17. Who has a worse temper: Azriel or Eris?
Define "worse". ;)
Azriel has the hottest temper; it rises faster and burns quickly. While the Spymaster holds a grudge, it's not top of mind all of the time; more a function of being around the fae that irritate him.
Eris holds a grudge forever and plots… always. Piss off Eris, and he will use his intelligence and patience to take you down.
18. What are some WIPs or ideas that you’re excited about?
Oh, I have a few… Active WIPS:
I am about halfway through my Omegaverse AU, Project Codename: Metamorphosis. This is an exercise for me to learn worldbuilding techniques without fully committing. It takes a bit more effort to write this one, as I am keeping track of three timelines and writing lore. I love it, even if it is a slower project. :)
The Adventures of Vesper and Hart is a WIP that is fully outlined and just needs my time to sit down and draft the final chapters. This story includes encounters between Eris and Azriel during their field-spy days prior to ACOTAR.
Ideas that are not fully fleshed out yet:
A sequel to Tax Season, where we get to experience the three dates. I have half of chapter 1 drafted.
A Western AU, with a rough outline and a start of the first chapter.
A Collegiate AU, which has a full outline and the start of the first chapter.
And lastly, a folder of stories for The Chairs longfic to go into the Domestic Bliss series!
Thank you so much for reading this wall of text, and I hope to see more of the community's posts! Looking forward to getting to know you!

What drew you to Azris?
A sirens call.
2. What themes do you explore most often in your fics? Do you have a favorite image or location to return to again and again?
Sacrifice is always a big one; love and survival (mostly) against all odds; I just like to put them in the most challenging situations I can imagine and see them succeed despite me. Even when they don’t, they still have each other.
3. If you could only write one, which would you choose: Fluff or Angst? Yes, you must choose one.

6. Do you have a favorite ACOTAR pairing other than Azris?
Canon probably Nessian (though I have my woes); non canon, I fucks with Neris, and anything weird.
7. Have you worn wigs?
8. Will Eris ever wear wigs?
If @the-darkestminds is writing him he might have to.
9. What are some of your favorite head cannons about Azriel? Eris?
I have many and most of them are sad. Go figure. Here’s a (bitter)sweet one:
I’ve actually spent way too much time thinking about how Eris fell in love with Azriel because of his gentleness. He’s never at the receiving end of it but he notices. Over time, as he spends more time with his new allies he sees it over and over. The careful way Azriel hovers near Mor, protecting her, or the easy brush of his hand against Rhysands back when they talk. Eris notices how Azriel affectionately grabs at Cassian’s shoulder or the back of his head. He sees it when Azriel treats Elain like glass, or how he hugs Nesta and his High Lady, and especially when he gets glassy-eyed, with a soft smile when someone asks him about his mother. Each time he sees it, something chips away at Eris. Watching the fierce warrior who has never been anything but angry and hostile toward him, melt around those he cares about makes him ache.At first it makes him rage inside. Knowing it was possible for someone so hateful to have such a sweet and soft true nature. Reminding Eris of how brutally his father treats him and how he has always harbored a secret wish that Beron was capable of gentleness too, that he wouldn’t always want to hurt his family. When the ice between him and Azriel starts to thaw it’s impossible for him not to notice when his wings subtly shift to block the sun from Eris’ eyes. He can’t help but fixate on the playful but achingly light touch of their shoulders as they walk side by side. The first time their knuckles brush Eris was pretty sure he was going to burst into flames on the spot. Before he knows what’s happening, he starts to want to belong.
Azriel didn’t know he was seeing Eris any differently until he heard his laugh. After all the time spent spying on him, Azriel had only ever heard him cackle in sick amusement at someone else’s expense. He had never heard him laugh. Something shattered in him in that moment. He tried desperately to put himself back together and ignore that new fragile part of himself, pushing as much of his former hate towards the male as he could and almost hurts Eris irreparably because of it.
10. Why do Eris and Azriel deserve each other?
WHERE DO I START?!?!?
first, thier colors, cobalt and orange, at complimentary on the color wheel.
They are broken in mirror wasys and can relate to one another in a way that no one else can
They are set up specifically to compliment each other’s traumas in a way where only the other could provide what they need to heal from it
11. How do you find inspiration for your creations?
(It could be music, other creators---anything!)
I get a lot of inspo from music. Catch me listening to me “Hurt Me” Playlist all day long!
12. Have you ever felt creatively blocked? How have you overcome it?
I give myself space and refuse to come back to something until I get excited for it again. I will read or create in other ways while I rest my Azris brain so I can come back refreshed and ready to go hard!
13. Any advice for a content creator who is working yuts to share/post for the first time?
14. Are you a long or short-haired Eris truther? Yes, you can only pick one.
I only NEED to pick one. LONG HAIR!!!
15. If you could choose one court to live in Prythian, which would it be and why?
I want to say autumn becuase it’s Autumn BUT honestly the Dawn Court seems the most chill and innovative. Though, the Day Court has similar vibes and all those libraries!
16. Azriel and Eris are having a silly disagreement. Something about socks on the floor, or dirty mugs in the sink. Maybe someone forgot to let the smokehounds out. Who are you more likely to side with?
Eris probably picked the fight to begin with just to be petty so I’m going to side with Azriel. He and I are very similar in our thoughts on self-worth, etc., so I feel like I need to be in his corner.
17. Who has a worse temper: Azriel or Eris?
Azriel for sure. The High Lords meeting was so damning. lol.
18. What are some WIPs or ideas that you're excited about?
I will finish carve me open this year!!! Then I plan on finishing up all the other little things I have left open-ended so I can get to two more new fics I am very excited to write.

They are broken in mirror wasys and can relate to one another in a way that no one else can
They are set up specifically to compliment each other’s traumas in a way where only the other could provide what they need to heal from it
11. How do you find inspiration for your creations?
(It could be music, other creators---anything!)
I get a lot of inspo from music. Catch me listening to me “Hurt Me” Playlist all day long!
12. Have you ever felt creatively blocked? How have you overcome it?
I give myself space and refuse to come back to something until I get excited for it again. I will read or create in other ways while I rest my Azris brain so I can come back refreshed and ready to go hard!
13. Any advice for a content creator who is working yuts to share/post for the first time?
14. Are you a long or short-haired Eris truther? Yes, you can only pick one.
I only NEED to pick one. LONG HAIR!!!
15. If you could choose one court to live in Prythian, which would it be and why?
I want to say autumn becuase it’s Autumn BUT honestly the Dawn Court seems the most chill and innovative. Though, the Day Court has similar vibes and all those libraries!
16. Azriel and Eris are having a silly disagreement. Something about socks on the floor, or dirty mugs in the sink. Maybe someone forgot to let the smokehounds out. Who are you more likely to side with?
Eris probably picked the fight to begin with just to be petty so I’m going to side with Azriel. He and I are very similar in our thoughts on self-worth, etc., so I feel like I need to be in his corner.
17. Who has a worse temper: Azriel or Eris?
Azriel for sure. The High Lords meeting was so damning. lol.
18. What are some WIPs or ideas that you're excited about?
I will finish carve me open this year!!! Then I plan on finishing up all the other little things I have left open-ended so I can get to two more new fics I am very excited to write.

This year, we have mixed things up by adding bingo cards. The rules, cards, and fic list are below.
Here are the rules:
Choose whether you would like to fill a 4x4 Bingo card or a 5x5 card. Participants may attempt to fill both to better their chances of winning, but we will ultimately choose 2 separate winners.
Each bingo card is full of beloved fanon and canon Azriz tropes, themes, and scenes. Each time you run across one in a new Azris fic (or one that has under 500 hits), mark your card! You MAY mark both cards using a single fic/comment, if you are playing on both.
2. To have your marked box count, leave a meaningful comment on each fic AND a kudos. While it's nice to get a comment that says "this was great!" the whole point of this challenge is to make people engage more thoughtfully with lesser known and newer fics.
3. The challenge begins May 30 and cards must be turned in by June 20. The first two participants to fill their entire card will be notified no later than June 30. There will be one winner for each card size (4x4 and 5x5).
4. Each winner (2 total) will be gifted an original story or piece of art, commissioned for them exclusively. Participating creators include: @wrraccountant, @chunkypossum, and @werehorsebite. *
Please note that if there are multiple winners for each card size, the participant with the most boxes covered from current Azris Week fics will take precedence. If there are still multiple winners, names will be entered into a draw and selected randomly.
Fanfiction is all about community, and this Hype Bat Challenge is meant to encourage people to engage with works perhaps outside of their comfort zone or from authors they haven't heard of.
Hype Bat Challenge Fic List
Criteria for this list were: must be Azris-focused (not a side pairing or only mentioned); fewer than 500 hits, and hosted on ao3. If you have a fic that isn't on this list but meets the criteria, please send us an ask and we'll add it!
