Fic Masterlist

Hello! I'm ShadowsAndLint, or SL if you will, and I write fanfiction on AO3. It's mostly Azris, but I have also dabbled in a couple others with Nesta and Gwyn. My venture into acotar fics began in November 2023, and now I would like to formally introduce myself on Tumblr. So hi! I hope we can be friends, and that you'll check out my writing. :)

Your Scars on My Pulse

From Azrisweek 2024. 10/10 chapters, 29,239 words. NSFW.

Eris feels like he's going crazy from his newfound obsession with the shadowsinger since the male wrapped his rough hands around his neck at the High Lord Meeting. After finding Azriel snooping around in the forests of Autumn, they strike a bargain that ensures an unsteady alliance between the two. While they grow friendlier by each encounter, and the shadowsinger's essence is getting increasingly harder to resist, Eris can't help but feel the male is hiding something. And he'll be damned if he can't figure out what.

Words We Use in the Shadows

This is my main work in progress, and a modern university AU. Also featuring the bat boys band Shadows, with Azriel as their singer. Lots of angst, eventual smut.

Azris dual POV, 23/30-ish chapters, 57,333 words.

Azriel is a quiet literature student, completely content with not standing out, until one day a poem about him is posted to the university bulletin board. In his hunt for the culprit, he enlists the help of classmates Nesta, Gwyn and Emerie, all the while keeping his bandmates Rhys and Cassian from finding out he is exchanging poems with a secret admirer. Who is this pompous ass that flirts by writing poetry?

Autumn Winds Across the Sea

Poetic Azris oneshot. 2,618 words. My favorite piece of writing.

Eris is spread out on the ground close to a precipice that falls into the Eastern Sea, his back a mess from one of his father's torture sessions. When the Night Court shadowsinger happens upon him, he is too exhausted to keep up the cruel heir mask. Being faced with a version of Eris he has never seen before, Azriel is forced to see the male in a new light.

Color Me Blue

Gwynriel oneshot, 1,343 words. TW: Mentions of rape.

Sorting through her hazy memories of the night Hybern sacked the temple, Gwyn lets herself freeze to keep from feeling the hurt. When she eventually thaws, she finds her mind occupied with the male that saved her. Meeting him again, her whole world changes.

O Holy Night! The Stars Are Brightly Shining

Part I of II in The Solstice Present. POV Azriel, 1,324 words.

It's the Winter Solstice, and the Inner Circle is celebrating in their usual style. Azriel feels like an outsider to his family's happiness, and is unable to share fully in their joy.

But when he comes home, a small surprise is able to lift his spirits.

O Night Devine!

Part II of The Solstice Present. POV Eris, 2,085 words.

Eris Vanserra is forced to play the part of obedient son when participating in the Autumn Court's official Solstice dinner. He hates the masks he must wear, remembering a time in the past year when he had been able to be more himself. Under the guise of commemorating Solstice, he decides to send a gift to someone he feels indebted to. But he is not so sure that is the only reason.

A Court of Self-Destructive Coping Mechanisms

Angsty Nesta-centric fic with one OC. 5 chapters, 8,263 words.

This is the part of Nesta's story that falls between book three and five, which is alluded to in both ACOFAS & ACOSF.

Nesta is struggling with depression and trauma from the war with Hybern. She is retracting further and further into herself, pushing everyone away and developing some self destructive coping mechanisms. The story begins when Nesta decides to invite that first male into her bed.

Hey

Just wanted to ask if you plan on continuing "words we use in the shadows"

Hi! So I've gotten this question quite a lot, which is understandable considering where the fic left off. It really warms my heart that people are eager for the story to continue, even though it's been so long since I posted regularly for it. Thank you!

To answer your question: Yes, I plan on continuing Words We Use in the Shadows. In fact, I've been actively working on it for a couple months now. There's currently about 10 000 words distributed across eight-ish chapters. Some chapters are almost completely done, while others only have a couple paragraphs. I suspect the story needs a few chapters more, and probably double the word count to feel finished.

That being said, I don't plan on posting until then. I managed to stay on top of the story in the beginning, as I was a few chapters ahead, but I quickly realized I should have been closer to done before I started posting. Life happens etc, but I never forgot about my baby; I was just too overwhelmed to touch it. You could also say I have an aversion to completing projects, while also being unable to resist new ones. BUT then inspiration slapped me across the face some months ago, and now I'm determined to wrap this baby up.

Tldr: You have to sit tight a while longer, but the ending's in sight. :) And because I'm feeling benevolent (and because it might give me motivation to keep working on it), here's an excerpt of what's to come:

Eris shivered. He tightened the scarf around his neck, burying his chin in the royal blue cashmere as if he was already out on the dark, chilly street.

There was a cold in his bones he feared would never thaw again. Still, he would rather choose to freeze than be at the mercy of his father ever again. Uncertainty and homelessness was a price he was willing to pay, for both his own and his mother's sake. God knows she had suffered her share for him — and he for her, he had lately realized. There was no way they would end up back in that man's pocket, no matter how warm. Eris would make sure of it. Which was why, when his father had been here last to threaten with the ultimatum of his mother returning or Eris' eviction, Eris had chosen the latter. He had leaned against the door after shutting it in his father's face, panting like he had physically fought him off. His mom emerged from the bedroom, hugged his trembling body, and with a sad smile offered to go back for his sake. Eris' mind had gone dangerously blank as he stared at her, and when she stepped back with a look that edged on fear, he felt something inside him snap. He crashed down to the floor heaving for breath, his lungs too small and his arms too heavy, and somewhere in the distance he could hear his mother screaming for him. When he finally found back to himself, Eris choked out a plea for his her to never return to that man, no matter what. That he would rather die than see her go back. Thalia was weeping when she replied, holding Eris' face between her small hands and keeping her gaze fixed on his. "I promise, Eris. I promise, I promise, I promise." Tears ran freely down her cheeks, dripping off her pointed chin and into her lap, darkening the fabric of her trousers. Eris reached forward to sweep away the tears with his thumb, and his mother closed her russet eyes. Pale, wet lashes rested against dark circles, and a final, quiet sob racked through her. Eris flung his arms around her tiny body. "Let's both promise," he murmured into her hair, soaking in her scent. "That neither one of us will accept anything from him again, even if it seems we have no other choice. There is always a choice, Mom. And we will choose each other — together, not one at the cost of the other. Do you understand? If I get my freedom only because you sacrifice yours, I do not want it." They had held each other quietly for a long time, the only sounds breaking the silence being an occasional labored breath or a noise from outside their little bubble. He stroked his mother's back in circular motions, while her hands moved up and down his sides. They were rocking back and forth like when soothing a small child, but he didn't know which one of them was keeping the momentum; who was being soothed. All the while, Eris planned. And now that plan was being set out in action.

If you've read this far, thank you so much! I look forward to sharing the rest of the story, but hope this will feel like a small consolation in the meantime. 🧡🔥🦇💙

Much love,

Lint

Azris

400 words.

“What do you have to say now, boy?” 

Eris had tried and failed. He knew he hadn’t been ready to take on Beron and live, but the choice between doing nothing and protecting what was his really wasn’t a choice at all.  

Despite everything, he smiled. Eris looked up into the face of his father, the male who was supposed to have been his guide in life, his rock, and a safe place to fall, and grinned so wide he felt his dried and cracked lips split open. He hadn’t been able to beat him, but Eris had still won. 

Out of the corner of his eye, he could see shadows gathering. Too late, but that was ok. He was satisfied with this ending. Not only would his death cement Autumn’s prosperity, but Eris had also been given a taste of love before the end. A love so deep that not even the twisted way his father had raised him could taint it. 

He had held their secret so tightly to his chest that it hadn’t had a chance to breathe, but at least feeling it flutter in the palms of his hands was proof it existed. Now, at least, no one would ever be able to touch it. 

Eris wasn’t ashamed of the tears gathering in his lashes; he blinked, setting them free, and took a moment to gather himself, nostrils flaring to keep the weeping at bay.

What do I have to say?

Eris, heir of nothing, chuckled. 

“At last.” 

The words brushed against his lips, the last to ever do so. He closed his eyes, the edge of the blade like a cool splash of water against his overheated skin. Somewhere, someone was screaming his name; the sound of their feet pounding on the marble melted into the pounding of his heart as it pumped faster, anxiously spilling itself out of his throat. 

The last thing he saw was the look of boiling accusation on Beron’s face, his eyes racing between the knife in his hand and his son’s peaceful expression as the High Lord slowly turned to ash. It wasn’t the knife that had been enchanted, but Eris’s own flesh, for just this very moment. Just in case.

Maybe now, he could rest.

Coronation of Eris

from @the-darkestminds's Autumn's Shadow

Thank you for writing this masterpiece! The coronation scene was so beautiful, I tried my best to capture Eris in it with all the intricate details, and I hope it comes close to what you had in mind! 💖

link to higher quality

It took me so long to draw that I'm a bit emotional now that it's finished🥹

Some more technical rambling below:

I loved drawing all the little details in the eyepatch and ear, this is the kind of thing I used to fill my notebooks' margins at school, so I was prepared 😁

It was my first time painting a shiny armor, scary stuff. It wasn't easy to capture Julia's brilliance: "dazzling golden armor, overlaid on rich, brown leather (...). A whitish sheen gleamed across the surface, refracting faint prisms as he moved into the room’s faelight;" I see the vision in my head as he moves and the light is refracted, but the painting doesn't move and I was worried it would just look like a colorful armor. But I think it's subtle enough, and I love how it turned out.

The hardest part was his face, mostly due to my own stupidity. At first I wanted his head to be slightly turned up, but at that angle he: 1. has no chin, 2. has no nose, 3. is not elongated and sharp like Eris in my head. I just couldn't make him handsome. And then his expression, it was either too smug or too happy or too sad. And all I wanted was "proud and moved, emotional but restrained", how hard can that be 🙄

I hope you all like it, I'm super proud of it 🥹 thank you @the-darkestminds for your writing and everything you do for azris, I hope this gift makes you happy 🧡

Tag Game - Getting to Know You!

Thank you @wrraccountant for tagging me ❤️ It was so interesting reading yours, and fun filling out my own. Makes you reflect a bit, you know?

Currently reading: I'm reading several things! Current book is The Long Game, because if I am not consuming hr content, who am I? My current fic is Half Agony, Half Hope by CorvidCordelia/ @gorgeousundertow , which is a Heated Rivalry/Persuasion rewrite and ughhhhh it's too good and angsty. The writing is truly brilliant. And current manga is Lovesick Dog by Songhyel, and it's so pretty and tender and real

Look at these cuties!

Last song: Too Bad by G-Dragon. I really enjoyed the last album, there are some bangers on there. Home Sweet Home might be my fav

Last film: 10Dance. A Japanese bl about two rival dancers who reluctantly join forces to win a competition. IT WAS SO GOOOOD 😭 the chemistry, the dancing, the cinematography, ughhh. I really really hope there's gonna be a sequel

It deserved 3 gifs, cause look at these yearning eyes 😭

Last series: Heated Rivalry. Again. I would call it a problem if I didn’t enjoy it so

Pov: me (Ilya) unable to keep my hands off HR (Shane), and HR (Shane) getting ready to fuck me (Ilya) and break my heart

Sweet/Savory/Salty: I'm a savory gal all the way. Tapas is my love language. Give me some cheese and I'll do my lil cheese dance. If I have something sweet, I need to follow it with something savory later.

Tea/Coffee: Coffe in the morning, tea in the evening. I make an oat milk latte before work, drink black coffee while I'm there, and then usually have some tea in the evening.

Working on: Haven't been working too much on fic because moving is stressful and drains my creative juices. BUT we seem to have landed somewhat, because I suddenly added like 3000 words to Words We Use in the Shadows, my long Azris poetry au that I haven't touched in over a year. Which is exciting! I really wanna see that fic through, and suddenly it feels like I have a direction for it again, even though I haven't really changed the plan much. It probably has more to do with my mind space than anything, but I'm very grateful for it ❤️

Oh, and maybe the fact that I spent my Christmas gift cards on the Marcel Proust collector's box and now get to look at the beautiful spines every day, haha

Marcel Proust approves this message

No pressure at all, but maybe @g00seg1rl , @buffy-vanserra and @mistandmemories wanna have a go? I want to know the insides of your braaains (for non-zombie related reasons)

Late Azris Solstice Fic out now!

I didn't expect this to turn into a whole oneshot, which is why it's so late, but here it is! You can click here or on the title to get taken right to ao3, it's an itty bitty fic by my standards so I don't think I'll be adding a preview here beyond the description oooOOooOoo👻👻

Pairing: Azriel x Eris Vanserra

Rating: not rated (but realistically probably general audiences, it's not very spicy in any direction. Although Azriel does get a little kinky about sweat)

Word Count: 6.3k

Description: Many fires raged to burn out the longest night, their ruthlessness a symbol of Autumn’s everlasting strength, but it still wasn't enough to chase out all the shadows for the Singer to hide in. He discreetly watched as long-haired females twirled batons with flaming tips, sending them spinning in the air for far longer than physically possible without the use of their elemental magic. Other dancers didn't rely on any tool to keep their sparks alive—they sent arcs of flame to whip around them directly from their hands, the licks of fire dancing in time with their own movements. 

Azriel was glad to be safe and cool in the shadows, as beautiful and graceful as the performers were. 

And, despite their alluring spectacle, he was not in Autumn on the Winter Solstice to see them. 

Tag list below the cut! Lmk if you want on or off😜

HAPPY CHRISTMAS @ninthcircleofprythian!!

it was so fun to write this for the @acotargiftexchange, especially since we got to know one another while i was writing my beron foot fetish fic. it was out of my wheelhouse, and a good counterpoint to working on this fic.

special thanks to @jules-writes-stories, @yams-77, and @poisonivy206 for their beta reading; thanks to @lizzo78 and @secret-third-thing for holding my hand and encouraging me to keep writing even when i felt like it was all a mess. a smooch and a nice hot beverage for each of you.

On Earth Without A Name

Summary: Azriel has been a reaper for nearly four centuries. He is used to things happening in predictable ways: he collects souls, he dies, he comes back to life.

Until Eris Vanserra dies unexpectedly and changes everything.

Rating: M (for now)

Pairing: Azriel/Eris

Raleigh is one of those cities that gets strangely dark and ominously loud in the winter when its people go to sleep. The streetlights buzz louder but don’t cast as much light as one might think; the rustling of the grass isn’t as comforting as it is in summer daylight. 

It doesn’t bother Azriel much. He’s used to it. He spends his hours, his days, wandering like some sort of waif, his hands shoved into shallow pockets. His shoes are worn in all the right places, but he still sometimes gets blisters on the underside of his little toe and on the sides of his feet. 

His breath puffs out in a slippery mess of white in front of his face. He’s waiting at his usual bus stop, though this time, he’s invisible to the few people that are waiting with him. It’s always like that, when he’s on the clock.

Read now on ao3.
