What is left of you? Lost to the facade of time while one bends to its rules in the name of humanity, of love. How far will one go, to find the truth held behind darkened forces the eye cannot see yet the soul pleas to touch? Is there value to life upon realization of one’s purpose and finding discontent in the path laid before you. Many walk such path blind to what shadow walks behind them, allowed the road ahead but nothing more. My dear Raptor why should you fall beneath such rules when those should bow for mercy at your hand. We shall bring you home, ruin what served its purpose in the creation of such perfection to find where one truly belonged, where your true sire resides. Come home my Raptor through the rift where you are pulled to his side before such an opportunity is stolen and seals your death. Live Raptor, return to your purpose.

Just a little edit I did for fun after hearing this song. It was just perfect even if the video itself is not good. I’m a writer not a videographer.

Watch Out Gotham by: E. B. Locke

The world would forget Peter Parker; his existence would be erased, and who knew what awaited him on the other side. But Johnny Storm won't let go; he lost his home, and he won't lose his best friend, not again. But what happens when they are lost together?

Be aware that there are memory jumps within these chapters to allow you as a reader to see first had back story and previous interpretations that have shaped these characters into who they are today. So it is a different flow.

This story has the first 15 chapters uploaded as well as a basic character sheet. It is currently ongoing and there is no predicted total chapters. I hope you join us and enjoy this adventure.

Chapter 101

'He did not wait for their response before walking to their rooms, his steps seeming to carry him faster than he expected. He pushed open the door, quietly closing it in the darkness. If Azriel was already asleep, he would not want to wake him. He pulled the rings from his fingers, setting them on the dresser and slowly taking out his earring. A blue light illuminated his back from the center of the room. Drawing his attention as he turned. He became hot, his skin was too tight, and the air filled his lungs in short supply. Azriel knelt before him, his hands bound behind his bare back, bareback, no, the male wore nothing. A chain wrapped around his neck and hung down his torso. The siphons on his hands highlighted his figure, casting across his wings, and opened wide behind him. 

Eris stepped over, running his hand along the leathery wing, “Is this my punishment for those thoughts while you sat in the birchin?” 

Azriel drew a sharp breath and tensed. “If you wish for it to be, but it is more of a Solstice gift.” 

Eris hummed, his hand grazing across the cold chain as he stepped before Azriel. He yanked him forward, leaning down and ginning as he lifted his chin. “You are really just a dog on a leash.” '

Chapter 20

'“You weren’t lying.” Rhysand’s gaze raked up Azriel’s wings.

Azriel turned his head, his eyes falling on the handprint burned into his wing. A blush rose on his face, he didn’t want his brothers to learn like this, much less how Cassian found out. Cassian walked over and offered him a donut and Azriel took it and sighed. 

“I didn’t know how to tell you gu-”

Azriel was cut off, Cassian enveloping in a bone-crushing hug on one side while Rhysand hugged him from the other. “You’re not upset about it?”

“Eris is a prick, a brat, a dick, and so much more. But if you trust it enough to accept the mating bond we will figure it out. You will have to just be patient with us.” Rhysand smiled stepping back and patted Azriel’s shoulder. “Although I wish you had told me when the bond first snapped.” 

“I wanted to choose on my own, no political motives or outside opinions, just me and my judgment.” So many things tossed and turned in his head, the only ones who knew before he accepted it were Gwyn, Cassian, and Mor. The three of them were far more than he wished to tell, but Cassian and Gwyn merely gave him support in whatever his decision was. That alone gifted him the strength to pull himself free. '

Wit my story being revised to publish and then having a sequel what would be better to you as a reader:

Getting all of the backstory in information in one book and same time line

Or

Having a separate book that dives into that backstory as its own story that ultimately connects to the original

Or would that be too much?

Chapter 79

“ Azriel paused, a smirk sweeping across his face as he watched Cassian take a bite of his dinner. He fought to suppress his laughter, breaking when Cassian began to cough and drain his glass of water. “Why the fuck is this so hot!”

Azriel would have fallen from his chair if Eris' hand did not rest on his side. Eris could not suppress his small chuckle, “it is Equinox tradition.”

Feyre nodded, slowly taking a small bite. “It’s spicy, yes but still it tastes incredible.”

Eris nodded, “I appreciate your ability to handle our food….”

“….. Rhysand took a small bite of his own, quickly turning towards Eris. “How do your people eat this?”

Eris smiled, “we are given spices as children. We have built up a tolerance and enjoyment of it over the years. We grow the peppers here beneath the Forest House for the entire court.”

“Can we have some for the Night Court?” Feyre turned towards Rhysand.

Cassian quickly shook his head, “No.”

I could not stop laughing while writing this scene. I didn‘'’t know what it would take with readers, but I am so glad that I was able to give the Autumn Court its own traditions and celebrations. When I commissioned the amazing @jmoonjones, I told her she would have free reign of any scene she wanted. When she picked this scene, I was honestly surprised but even more shocked by how amazing she did. I knew her talent, but this blew me away. I am so thankful for her beautiful artwork, and she did the characters justice. In the picture from left to right, we have Feyre, Everett, Eris, Azriel, Cassian, Rhysand, and Brenton. Two of these characters are semi-cannon characters, Eris' brothers. But I can’t thank her enough for this amazing artwork. Please go support her on Tumblr and Instagram. She does incredible artwork! Thank you so much, JmoonJones.

Light of the Moon

Chapter 41

"Each attempt he had to get a simple glance from Eris failed. It drug him farther below the surface until the light vanished. It was so familiar, if he screamed his lungs would fill with water, he could not reach the surface while those flickering candle lights continued to be blocked out by darkness. There was no cage to bury his growing self-destruction as it seeped into his mind and the voices of his shadows....."

“.....Azriel felt his feet hit the ground, as though the world and Mother pushed him down and crushed him. Shattered the walls he tried to uphold, drowned his begging soul, and his mind and body fell. Azriel screamed, screamed as loud as his lungs would allow. As though it were his last plea for salvation as water rushed in. Every scar he attempted to ignore fell open, the demons that tore at his sanity wrapping their claws around him and dragging him down into the darkened depths. Azriel broke.”

Light of the Moon

Chapter 44

“Eris dropped, his leg kicking out and catching Azriel. His feet flew from under him, throwing him onto his back. The impact knocked the wind from him. He groaned rolling onto his side to relieve the pressure off his wings, couching in an attempt to catch his breath. “That wasn’t fair.”

Eris knelt in front of him, a grin plastered across his face. “Last I checked there were no rules.” He leaned forward, lifting Azriel’s chin and kissing him. “I’m from the Autumn Court Moon, we don’t play fair.”

Azriel sighed and laid back, watching Eris stand to get water. A grin spread across his face before he tripped Eris and caused him to fall beside him. Azriel could not help but laugh, Eris’ laughter beginning to mix with his. He turned his head to watch him, to see the joy painted across his mate’s face. It was a simple moment like this that made their love grow. Neither needed grand gestures of love, proclamations, or actions. All they needed was the small smiles, the short laughs, and intimate moments where the world that had beaten them down and attempted to break them melted away. It was their laugh that reminded Azriel that they made it through. Each time they were pushed past their breaking point they had made it through to these small moments.

Azriel turned to him, draping himself over Eris and kissing him. “I never said that I played fair either.”

Eris still chuckled against his lips, his hands resting on Azriel’s shoulders.”

Thank you so so much @capricule for the AMAZING art work. Honestly that doesn't even describe this. If you want a incredibly nice person, extremely talented, and over all hard working and enthusiastic person to do your art this is them!! I will definitely be going back next time I want a commissioned art piece!! As for now I just want to say thank you Capricule!!

I am so excited that this is finished. I couldn't be more happy with the finished artwork. Every bit of detail and the characters appearance was captured perfectly. I never thought they would end up being so close to how I envisioned them. All expectations were blown out of the water and I couldn't be happier.

Details:

If you have read Light of the Moon you may notice a few small things.

- Eris and Lucien’s bargain mark on Eris’ chest

- Eris’ traumatic past with Beron evident by the scars on his side/back

- Azriel and Eris’ mating ceremony ring on Azriel’s hand

- The few pieces of jewelry Eris had Azriel start wearing again

- The shoes only covering Eris’ feet due to…well I can't spoil that

I just can't express how thankful and thrilled I am with this art work.

Characters belong to Sarah J Maas

I wanted to participate with this fanfiction last year but it wasn’t ready.

Is it finished and ready now..no

Am I still posting it for Azris week…yes

Light of the Moon is massive!! Far greater than I ever expected. It has taken me on a wild journey and I think Azriel and Eris have stolen my laptop to write this themselves. I never expected it to be so deep with them mentally, physically, emotionally, as well as dive so deep into their history.

It was always about telling their story and writing the story as though it were an extension of the ACOTAR series.

I have been blessed by some incredible readers and love to read comments each new chapter.

If you’re interested in a LONG Azris fanfiction that begins a bit after where the ACOSF bonus chapter ends come join us.

Happy Azris week this is a holiday at this point for me.
