masterlist <3

hi!! you can call me aurora or a or whatever tf you want. i love reading, writing, short chapters, taylor swift songs, and ofc obsessing over fictional characters. reading wise, i love just about any young adult series, but my fav by far is the grishaverse :,) while the six of crows duology was my fav, zoyalai completely and wholly has my heart :,)) im also a big fan of the raven cycle and the secret shanghai universe, among many other things!

im currently working (very inefficiently) on a ya wip. but more importantly, i post fics on ao3! below is a list of fics i have uploaded with descriptions and links to them, which will be updated accordingly. i mostly write zoyalai, but i am trying to branch out. i will write all the angst and all the hurt/comfort, i just will not write smut.

if you have any requests or just want to chat , feel free to message me!

grishaverse:

right where you left me

zoya nasyalensky/nikolai lantsov, 1 chapter, 7k words, tags: angst, hurt/comfort, grief, post-ROW

if there was one thing Zoya learned in her life, it was this: with great power comes even greater loneliness. OR, the moments in Zoya Nasyalensky’s life where loneliness hit her like a storm.

this pain wouldn’t be for evermore

zoya nasyalensky/nikolai lantsov, 1 chapter, 1.5k words, tags: emotional hurt/comfort, fluff, nightmares, post-ROW

“bad dreams were not a rare occurrence for the king and queen of ravka. after battle after battle, war after war, fighting demons and darkness incarnate; nightmares were simply a given. but the king and queen were always there, side by side, ready to fight the other’s mind off with soothing whispers and warm hands. that is, almost always.”

swaying as the room burned down

zoya nasyalensky/nikolai lantsov, 5 chapters, 8.5k words, tags: canon divergence, angst, blood and violence, hurt/comfort

ROW SPOILERS!

Zoya and Nikolai have been dancing with their hands tied for as long as they’ve known each other. Zoya knows that they can never be together, never be more than king and general. However, it seems that the wedding of her friends Genya and David has softened her heart (if only for a night), and she decides to indulge in her king’s requests. But, neither Nikolai nor Zoya could have predicted that a bomb would be the thing to tear them apart from each other.

(Or, an angsty zoyalai-centric rewrite of Genya and David’s doomed wedding because I said so >:))

covered in you

zoya nasyalensky/nikolai lantsov, 13 chapters, 40k words, tags: (loose) cottagecore au, childhood friends to lovers, angst, unhealthy relationships, implied child abuse, hurt/comfort

zoya, a young girl in the village of novokribirsk, is a secret but powerful air nymph. when her secret is one day discovered by aleksander, a mysterious newcomer to the village, zoya finds her life on a sharp turn for change, power, perhaps even love. of course, things get complicated when your childhood friend you haven’t seen for years on end finally returns home for a visit.

on the ropes

zoya nazyalensky/nikolai lantsov, 1/1 chapters, 6k words, tags: AU-Cirque du Soleil, enemies to lovers, greatest snowman vibes

a cirque du soleil AU in which zoya nazyalensky is an aerial performer and she’s been partnered with the renowned dancer, nikolai lantsov. written with @noirshadow for the grishaverse reverse mini bang ‘22

the raven cycle:

come home to my heart

blue sargent/richard gansey iii, 1/1 chapter, 2k words, tags: fluff and angst, angst with a happy ending, introspection

blue and gansey get into their first real fight.

💬 Happy Tuesday… aka New Release Day! Did you pick up any new releases today? Add any to your TBR? 🤎📖 Happy Release Day to @tanviberwah and Monsters Born and Made! 🎉 Perfect for fans of The Hunger Games and These Violent Delights, this South Asian-inspired fantasy is a gripping debut about the power of the elite, the price of glory, and one girl's chance to change it all. Thank you to @sourcebooksfire for gifting me this copy! . . . s u m m a r y : Sixteen-year-old Koral and her older brother Emrik risk their lives each day to capture the monstrous maristags that live in the black seas around their island. They have to, or else their family will starve. In an oceanic world swarming with vicious beasts, the Landers―the ruling elite, have indentured Koral's family to provide the maristags for the Glory Race, a deadly chariot tournament reserved for the upper class. The winning contender receives gold and glory. The others―if they're lucky―survive. When the last maristag of the year escapes and Koral has no new maristag to sell, her family's financial situation takes a turn for the worse and they can't afford medicine for her chronically ill little sister. Koral's only choice is to do what no one in the world has ever dared: cheat her way into the Glory Race. But every step of the way is unpredictable as Koral races against contenders―including her ex-boyfriend―who have trained for this their whole lives and who have no intention of letting a low-caste girl steal their glory. When a rebellion rises and rogues attack Koral to try and force her to drop out, she must choose―her life or her sister's―before the whole island burns. She grew up battling the monsters that live in the black seas, but it couldn't prepare her to face the cunning cruelty of the ruling elite. . . . h a s h t a g s : #monstersbornandmade #tanviberwah #yabooks #yabookstagram #youngadult #yafantasy #yafantasybooks #bookstagrammer #booklove #totalbooknerd #booksinhand #bookmoments #wildbooks #bookseverywhere #cosymood #thecreative #livethelittlethings #postwhatyoulove #instaphotos https://www.instagram.com/p/CiLcWdRu9C7/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=

👑Cover and synopsis reveal!!!! 👑 (Pre-order link in bio,) Eighteen-year-old Princess Sabine Ludwig of Backley thought her biggest problem was finding a man remotely interesting to dabble with while trying to fill her days with something other than knitting or drinking tea. But when her dear sister is brutally murdered in a foreign kingdom a week before she’s to be married, Sabine suddenly wishes for boring, ordinary days again. Seeking retribution, Sabine decides to take her sister’s place and marry the mysterious king of Lynk. It’s the only way she can hunt down and find the killer. It’s the only way she can get revenge. When she finds the king far more appealing than she’d intended, it becomes difficult to keep her wits about her and remember why she’s there. Thrown into a world of lies, power struggles, and seduction, Sabine must learn to navigate through the foreign kingdom’s dangerous court as she seeks her sister’s killer. The closer she gets to discovering who it is, the more she questions who she can trust—including herself. #queen #crown #reign #throne #fantasy #newbook #newbookseries #truereign #reignofsecrets #yafantasybooks #yaromance #royalty #realmofknights #knightsoftherealm #arrangedmarriage #forbiddenromance #book #fantasybook #enemiestolovers #sword #revenge #yafantasy https://www.instagram.com/p/CpNeq7xLd7k/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=

💬 What was your latest #bookmail? Some shadows protect you…others will kill you… The Liar’s Crown by @abigailowenauthor released yesterday and I was so excited to receive a copy in the mail!! This is a new YA fantasy series packed full of action, romance, and magic! This sounds like my kinda read for sure!! 🤎📖 Thank you to @entangledteen for gifting me this copy! . . . s u m m a r y : Everything about my life is a lie. As a hidden twin princess, born second, I have only one purpose—to sacrifice my life for my sister if death comes for her. I’ve been living under the guise of a poor, obscure girl of no standing, slipping into the palace and into the role of the true princess when danger is present. Now the queen is dead and the ageless King Eidolon has sent my sister a gift—an eerily familiar gift—and a proposal to wed. I don’t trust him, so I do what I was born to do and secretly take her place on the eve of the coronation. Which is why, when a figure made of shadow kidnaps the new queen, he gets me by mistake. As I try to escape, all the lies start to unravel. And not just my lies. The Shadowraith who took me has secrets of his own. He struggles to contain the shadows he wields—other faces, identities that threaten my very life. Winter is at the walls. Darkness is looming. And the only way to save my sister and our dominion is to kill Eidolon…and the Shadowraith who has stolen my heart. . . . h a s h t a g s : #theliarscrown #abigailowen #yafantasy #fantasyromance #yabooks #fantasyseries #yafantasybooks #booksaremylife #booksaremylife #coffeeandcurrentlyreading #coffeeandbooks #coffeetime #booksandbeans #bookishflatlay #flatlaytoday #flatlayphotography #bookphotography #bookpic #bookgram #hygge #cozyvibes #cozyaesthetic https://www.instagram.com/p/Ch7bDIPODKb/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=

“The world-building is what captivated me from the very beginning. I love a thick-plotted world with evil kings and a kingdom of the verge of self destruction. And then you throw in conspiracies and political intrigue, with a forbidden romance and a hot love interest, and a determined heroine, and you have one hell of a book. And that's exactly what I found here! So I was instantly drawn into this world and the outcome of their situation. Davis created a thrilling plot to go along with her epic world building! BRAVO Jennifer Davis, BRAVO!!” 👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼 #reign #crown #throne #reignofsecrets #truereign #kingdom #realm #book #fantasy #enemiestolovers #books #forbiddenromance #royalty #prince #princess #heir #ya #yafantasybooks #fantasybooks #arrangedmarriage #free #freebook https://www.instagram.com/p/CqB0s-5PQ0f/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=

Feeling alone in a crowd of people. I like my introverted-ness, but it can be a lonely path.

Yes, it’s full of freedoms and fantasy worlds and beauty. But what is all that if you don’t have people as passionate about all those things as you are? They appreciate your unique view of the world, but they can’t possibly understand it.
