Series: Chiaroscuro, is an Italian term for the interplay of light and dark and seems fitting for Elain and Azriel. “… the lovely fawn, blooming spring vibrant behind her. Standing before Death, shadows and terrors lurking over his shoulder. Light and dark, the space between their bodies a blend of the two.”
The stories are in no particular order but represent different times in Elain, Azriel, and the Inner Circles lives before the start of the long fic Shadowlight.
A Night of Longing and Loneliness - It's been almost a year since the war with Hybern ended and Nesta Archeron distanced herself from her family and the Inner Circle. After they both have rough nights, Elain Archeron and Cassian find themselves alone at the townhouse and bonding over loss and feelings of not quite unrequited love. 3 POVS: Cassian, Azriel, and Elain.
Repeat Until Death - Azriel's nightly ritual months after the events of Winter Solstice.
Illyrian Transport Services - Elain asks Azriel and Cassian if they ever get tired of flying others.
A Few Minutes in the Garden - Elain tries to convince Azriel that she can scry for the Mask.
Vision of a Falling Star - Elain's vision sends Rhys and Feyre to watch the skies for a rare red star that is about to fall.
The Second Starfall - After the difficulty of the last few months, Elain Archeron joins her family and members of the Night Court at the House of Wind for Starfall hoping the magic and beauty of the night will weave it’s own spell for her.
The Night They Met - Hours ago the sister Elain Archeron thought dead showed up at the door to their home, alive but turned into a High Fae, with a High Lord and two faerie warriors in tow warning of a possible war. Elain never thought she’d see her sister again, never thought four Fae would be sleeping down the hall from her. She never thought she’d run into one of them in the middle of the night. Chapters 1/2
The Walk Back - After a daring rescue and escape from Hybern's war camp, Azriel carries Elain back to the Night Court's own war camp.
Long Fic:
Shadowlight* - Soft. Quiet. Fragile. An ornament to be displayed.
That's how everyone viewed Elain Archeron. It’s how she viewed herself before she realized she wanted, and could be, more.
After being taken and Made High Fae against her will, granted powers and a mate she did not want, Elain thought she’d finally found her footing in her new life with a newfound family and friends. She found the love she always dreamed of in Azriel, the feared shadowsinger and spymaster of the Night Court. She thought he returned her feelings until he declared their near kiss a mistake and almost completely disappeared from her life, unaware that their chosen brother Rhys, High Lord of the Night Court, forbade Azriel from pursuing her.
Equally, quietly devastated by their forced separation, Elain and Azriel remain inexorably drawn together as the world shifts around them again. War with an immortal death god, humans, and perhaps other Fae looms and Elain is at the center of it. To protect their family, Court, and each other, Elain and Azriel must navigate love, politics, and all that they thought possible of themselves. In progress, 4/?
