It is with great excitement that I announce to everyone my first Acotar fanfic: In your rhythm !

Pairing: Azriel x Eris Vanserra

Status: Oneshot (?) 2739 words

Summary: Eris Vanserra only agreed to spend the evening at Rita's to offer moral support to his hopelessly lovestruck younger brother. He planned to leave as quickly as possible— until a chance encounter with a man with a deep voice and an intense gaze made him reconsider his plans.

He can only hope this won't end the way it always does.

Starting to post the sequel to Language Barrier today. Slightly freaked out still by the way that one took off but also, holy shit, how lucky do I feel about that? What a gorgeous experience!

Anyway, here it is if you're interested. The pic's a repost just because I've been too busy scribbling to draw anything new ;)

Chapter 9 / 22

Azris - Explicit (no smut til the back half)

Summary

The bond snaps into place at the Winter Solstice ball, threatening centuries of Eris’s plans and crushing Azriel’s lonely dreams. The bond is unsettling and intimate: glimpses of thoughts and feelings flowing muffled across the connection, prying at their carefully crafted masks.

The bond takes no heed that Koschei’s invasion of Prythian looms, testing the foundations of the Autumn Court. That it reveals their raw desires amidst the chaotic politics, alliances, heartbreak, and bloodshed.

The bond tugs at them, divulging sober truths: that, in the quiet stolen moments of night, they find their company soothes old scars, that, as the dust of battle settles, they discover themselves yearning for one another.

Chapter Excerpt

Azriel nodded. "Rhysand tried to change the Court of Nightmares after he ascended. There was resistance, but they did budge over time. Things improved throughout the Court. Velaris is still a haven." He looked at Eris. "I'm not a High Lord, but I think pushing for change would be worth it, if only for your own sake."

Eris flushed. "Autumn is not ready for a High Lord who prefers the same sex."

Azriel shrugged. "They already have one."

All seven chapters have been published! Enjoy <3 https://archiveofourown.org/works/86536916

It's been a while, so please let me know if you want on or off the tag list!

I put rhys and tamlin again as well so we can get the full story (not that it makes sense with the times I put but whatever let the vibes take you)

(Random notes: canon reason for jurian using shortened language is that he grew up when expensive parchment was around so he's still saving space. feyre loves emojis bc of the reading thing. please clock my silly jokes with the dates.)

Chapter Excerpt

“What about you, Azriel? You've mentioned your burns. Have any other heartwarming childhood stories to share?” Eris sighed.

A wave of apprehension came over Azriel. Eris was asking about the dark place. Avoiding Eris's gaze, he was suddenly aware of the alcohol's impact on him—his mind too slow, too scattered to weigh sharing those memories. His imprisonment. When the shadows came to him. The endless time where day and night ceased to have meaning. Words turned to lead in his mouth.

Eris huffed a small, sardonic chuckle. “No wonder the Cauldron decided in its infinite wisdom to pair us up.” He lifted his glass to Azriel. “Cheers to unhappy childhoods. May those responsible rot in the Cauldron.”
