Complete, First published Jul 17, 2015
Obsidian successfully plays the game expected of her, passes the tests, and is accepted as a Guardian. Though she jumps through the hoops, she doesn't want to follow the precepts at all, to guard the portals but never open them. She believes its a waste to not explore the worlds within, like her ancestors had. How can they protect themselves if something comes through the portals if they don't know what's in them?

Obsidian's appointed mentor, Damian, is a straight-laced young Guardian, who can't contain the young dedicant. He's always believed the laws are in place to protect all of Nect, but Obsidian starts to make him question his own principles. She doesn't allow him any time to examine the possibilities, though, and he has to decide between reporting her or standing by her side to protect her from whatever horrors she stirs up.

Will the Guardians end Obsidian's life, or will something from another world get to her first?

***One new chapter will be posted about once every two months.***

The Obsidian Academy by 001sluttyprincess
14 parts Complete Mature
In a world where the line between magic and madness is razor-thin, The Obsidian Academy is a place of brutal education for the young and the gifted. Located on the fringes of reality, the academy trains its students not only in arcane magic but in the darker arts of manipulation, control, and subversion. Here, the stakes are not just high-they are existential. Every student is forced to confront their own demons, both internal and external, and survive the trials that test their limits. Alara Greyraven, a young woman with a past she can't remember, is reluctantly enrolled at the Academy after an inexplicable event marks her as one of the "chosen." With no knowledge of why she's here or what she's meant to do, Alara must navigate the tangled webs of deception, betrayal, and forbidden desires that pervade every corner of the school. Alongside her are a select group of outcasts and misfits who, for reasons they cannot explain, have been bound to her fate. The rules of the Academy are simple: Power is the ultimate currency. Survival is a game-and the players must sacrifice everything to win. Magic here is not just about spells; it's about power, influence, and control over both the living and the dead. As Alara uncovers the truths buried within the academy's obsidian walls, she must decide who she can trust-and who she can use-for her own ascent to the top. But in a place where nothing is ever truly what it seems, she must also confront whether the price of power is too great to pay.
Fated by Xfireheart1
91 parts Ongoing Mature
In a world surrounded by evil and shadows, a young healer's defiance becomes legend. When Vaela Thorne is dragged to the Mountain, a place of nightmares ruled by a monster in silk and blood; her fate seems sealed. Scarred, silenced, and stripped of everything but the fire in her veins, she refuses to kneel for a self-proclaimed 'High Queen'. But night watched her from the throne's edge: Rhysand, feared High Lord of the Night Court, whose cruelty is matched only by the secrets behind his eyes. The High Lord recognizes her as the ghost of a female he would dream of; he then takes her as his 'pet', where Vaela and Rhysand are forced into a deadly dance of masks and a bargain, where every lie hides longing, and every touch is edged with danger. When they shattered the chains from Amarantha, and Rhysand calls upon their bargain, he takes Vaela to his Court. Where they both fought to know and find freedom once more. But Prythian was never truly free: an ancient evil darkness stirs in the forgotten corners of the world. Not of this realm, hungering for destruction, it's gaze fixed upon Vaela and the secret she carries deep in her soul. Now the fate of courts and hearts hangs in the balance. And as love blooms in the heart of night and war shadows the horizon, Vaela must reckon with who and what she truly is. ✦ .  ⁺   . ✦ .  ⁺   . ✦ Ranking history: #1 in acourtofthornsandroses #1 in rhysand #1 in cassian #1 in romantasy #1 in throneofglass #1 in elf #1 in azriel ✦ .  ⁺   . ✦ .  ⁺   . ✦ •Rhysand x Main OC and eventually later on through the story: Azriel x OC and Cassian x OC. •This story will have a different story plot than the original. •Story is 18+ only. •Peep my patreon for 'Fated' content and spicy art ;) •DISCLAIMER: All rights of the ACOTAR universe belong to Sarah J Maas except for my OC's.

Never Fire [ONC2020]

12 parts Complete

Sienna Diaz has lived the life of a nameless face, a retreater from threats, and a thief of lives. Every time she lights a match, she is transported to another world. Surviving as a woman with many pasts and identities, she can hardly call herself her own. Despite her desire for control, however, the fire -- her matches -- remain her only escape. But as a pawn to the universe and to the flames themselves, Sienna finds that escape is only a delay of the inevitable: a life of wandering and loneliness. After an accident, another burnt match Sienna lands in a new world where Fire is an entity, a deity to its citizens. The opportunity is clear: overpower Fire and rewrite her identity. This time, starting afresh would be real and permanent. Settled. But this Fire is unpredictable and temperamental, worshipped by his priests and guarded in his own temple like a treasure. When Sienna Diaz was younger and still lived in a place she remembered as Nevada, her parents told her to never play with fire. She agreed -- no, she would never play with it. She would kill it. *Open Novella Contest 2020 Entry* *Awesome cover by @CelticWarriorQueen17*
