What are some good UtM Feysand stories?
DO I EVER. There are so many excellent UtM feysand stories that I'm sure I'm missing several, but here's my best attempt at wrangling them:
Longer, story-focused UtM fics:
we said hello and your eyes look like coming home by @rosanna-writer - A canon-divergent AU where the bond snaps for Rhys on Calanmai, Feyre unwittingly accepts it, and Fire Night magic proves to be more transformative than anyone bargained for. Feyre drags a mate she hardly knows out from Under the Mountain, then puts him back together as war with Hybern approaches.
eclipsed nova by @shadowdaddyazriel - A retelling of A Court of Thorns and Roses in which Feyre and Rhysand remain under the mountain for much longer, transforming from mortal enemies to soft-hearted lovers and reclaiming Prythian as a team, defeating Tamlin and Amarantha for good.
The Portrait of a Male by HopeLions13 - When the bond snaps into place on Calanmai, Rhysand can't leave his mate in the Spring Court. Instead, he sends her to Velaris, to live and die in safety. But the more time Feyre spends with the Inner Circle, the more she wants to know the male, her mate, they all love. Which leaves her with only one choice.
There You Are by @whatishowedyouinthedark - If Calanmai had gone differently... how would the story have unfolded?
Of the Archer and the Dark by @thesistersarcheron - Feyre Archeron is the youngest member of the Fae nobility trapped in Amarantha’s court Under the Mountain, and she’s never known anything else; nineteen years ago, she was the last of three sisters born in the dark prison. She has never seen the stars, tasted fruit fresh from the vine, or set foot in her home court.
Link by Lyetta - What if the mating bond snapped into place earlier, while they were still trapped Under the Mountain? What if Feyre froze during the second task - would Rhys have stepped in to save her?
Yielding to the Dark by Frufrusc - Under the Mountain Amarantha has figure out Rhysands secret and enjoys herself by making a grand reveal out of it and designings a torture scheme for Feyre threatening to make her fear everything the Nightcourt represents.
A Wall of Stone and Time by nothoughtsonlyfantasy - Feyre is trapped Under the Mountain and thinks there is no way out until a dangerous Fae is put in the cell next door. Rhysand is sent by his father to win the heart of the mysterious daughter of the High Lord of the Dawn Court.
A Court Outside of Time by Sonata_IX - Feyre's quest to discover why she can't get pregnant sends her back in time. Can she seduce her mate, who doesn't yet know he's her mate, while pretending to still be in love with someone else and trying not to alter history
If She Had Known by Whattheheckkristen - Feyre accidentally falls through time. Back to the beginning. If she had known of the trials she would need to overcome, and the mysteries she would need to solve, and was still brave enough to do it. If she had loved him all along.
time won't fly (it's like i'm paralyzed by it) by @feysand-hivemind -Every day, Rhysand wakes up next to Amarantha in her bed Under the Mountain. A prisoner, a weapon, a High Lord on a leash. He's been down there so long, it's starting to feel like time doesn't matter. Until one day, it doesn't.
The Woods are Lovely, Dark and Deep by @quantum77-writes - In a world where Amarantha comes to Prythian fifty years later, Rhys searches the human lands for the painter from his dreams. Or: Feyre meets a different faerie in the woods that day.
aim for my heart (go for blood) by @thesistersarcheron - When Rhysand journeys to the Spring Court to find the girl who has been haunting his dreams after receiving a vision of Fire Night preparations, he's expecting to find a weak mortal artist. He finds a half-starved vampire instead.
Rules Are For Breaking by @rainymorning-writes - With the third trial looming, Feyre learns to embrace the reality of her mortality, allowing herself to let go of some of the dogmas that threatened to ensnare her to unhappiness in what she believes are the last few days of her life. Meanwhile, Rhysand grows frustrated when he can’t find an explanation for the liability that is his increasingly debilitating attraction to Feyre.
I could make it all feel far away by @climbthemountain2020 - After the second trial, the mating bond unexpectedly snaps for Rhys in the dungeons.
All You Had To Do Was Stay (with the High Lord) by @rosanna-writer - A canon-divergent AU in which Feyre learns the full truth about Amarantha's curse the first time she traps the Suriel. Desperate to flee to safety, she seeks out Rhysand on Calanmai and proposes an alliance.
Your Eyes Whisper Have We Met by @climbthemountain2020 - In a world where the Archerons never lost their fortune, fate finds Feyre on the night of a masquerade ball
Bonded: Calanmai Reimagined by dejong679 - This story asks, what if the mating bond snapped at Calanmai?
The best we could do underneath the same moon by silverspring77 - Feyre meets Rhys a year before Tamlin breaks down her cottage door, and everything is just a bit different. An ACOTAR retelling in which Feyre is warier, Rhys still needs a major self esteem boost, and Amarantha has no idea what she's dealing with.
Shorter, more smut focused fics (check tags as a lot of these dub/noncon):
The Bottom of a Cup by LadyRevolution - Essentially Feysand UtM sex-pollen orchestrated by Amarantha

Negotiation Tactics for the Desperate by @rainymorning-writes - Feyre and Rhys attend a feast UTM held in honor of some visiting correspondents, one of who keeps making eyes at Rhysand. Feyre finds herself becoming increasingly territorial over his attention (so rude).
On The Usefulness of Kneeling by @rainymorning-writes - Instead of the nightly faerie wine party, Feyre and Rhysand attend a performance being held in honor of some visitors. Bored, Feyre's mind begins to wander, which is a dangerous thing to do when you're with a daemati.
