Summary
Rolan was obviously attractive, but just that mental image of him undressed in their shared bedroom wasn’t enough for her to get a crush. No, having developed a crush on him would have required daydreaming about him for months, trying to get his attention, riling him up for small things, finding excuses to be alone with him and meddle in his business… who would be deranged enough to do that?
Tav and Rolan are stuck on a work trip, and it's well known that they cannot stand each other. Right?

Summary
She loved him like this - the right kind of desperate, pleasure withdrawn enough and threatening to drive him to madness. Her, in control. Him, pretending to be: one second unyielding, the next, begging for his soul.
At the inauguration ceremony for Baldur’s Gate’s new Archmage, Tav makes sure Rolan gets rewarded.

“But you see, Rolan, I think there is a problem.” She brought her face close to his, noses almost touching. “I think you like it.”

Summary
It's finally over: the Absolute has been defeated and Baldur's Gate has been saved. A month after the final battle, everyone's gone to pursue their own destinies - everyone but Tav. She might be home now but she's never felt more lost, struggling to pick up the pieces of the life she left behind.
Rolan got everything he wanted: his family is safe and sound, and he is the new Master of Ramazith's Tower. He won, and all he has to do now is prove that he's up to the task. It should be easy, so easy - but then why does he feel like he's constantly failing?
One night they meet again, and a proposition rekindles the spark between them.
But when Tav's world crumbles around her and secrets are revealed, it's Rolan's hand she reaches for. Will he be there to catch her?(or, Tav meddles and Rolan stands his ground)

Summary
The Academy’s end of year party has always been widely successful: it marks the end of a particularly intense exam session for the students, and the start of the well-earned break. Two weeks of rest, during which most students go home to their families, travel, forget about their classes and lectures and teachers.

Summary
All Tav has ever known was a perfect, easy life - until her abduction. Now, she’s been thrown in the middle of a large-scale mind-flayer conspiracy that threatens to destroy the world. To add to her troubles, she has no choice but to become a hero and save the world.
It could be almost simple, if only a certain wizard wasn’t always in her way, brushing her off and haunting her dreams with flaming eyes and a greedy smile.
As she learns to collect the lost parts of herself, there is one who could help. And who knows, amongst the chaos, she might find her way back home.---
Long slow-burn between (F!Human) Tav & Rolan, in which Tav is the Faerûn equivalent of a nepo baby and Rolan is, well, Rolan.

Summary
"The Spring Court is still recovering," he said finally, his voice measured. "We've rebuilt the manor, restored much of the land, but there's more to a court than structures and territory." Tamlin sighed and ran his fingers through his hair, obviously uncomfortable with the conversation. "And it keeps being pointed out to me that I am well over five hundred years old and I have never married or mated."
Tamlin’s gaze shifted to the distant mountains that marked the border of their territory as he trailed off. Understanding dawned, sending a flush creeping up her neck. This wasn't merely court business.
"And you have no heir," Aisling said softly, saving him from having to elaborate further.
A flicker of relief passed across his face. "Yes. Precisely."
........
Decades after the events of the series, the Spring Court has been rebuilt and it's time to move forward. Aisling, a minor noble who's family remained by Tamlin's side through the land's darkest point, finds herself on the end of a proposal she never expected.

Summary
Tamlin never truly addressed the trauma and memories that have followed him since the aftermath of being Under the Mountain and fighting against King Hybern. With each passing day he slowly isolates himself from his servants, council, and responsibilities, believing he doesn't deserve their trust, loyalty, and forgiveness. Or so Tamlin thinks.
Then comes along Lilith, a mortal healer, found trespassing into the Spring Court, claiming to search for a medicinal flower and nothing else. When Tamlin extends shelter to Lilith, she agrees, realizing the Fae lands are far more dangerous than she anticipated. Lilith, while navigating through the Spring Court and Fae customs, realizes her own shifting perceptions and uses them to gain favor in the Court.
The pair, distrustful and wary of each other at first, learn from one another. Gaining a new insight into how their pasts have shaped their identities and relishing the changes marking their future. A future where forgiveness, love, compassion, and healing will never end.

Summary
Airmid has eight ingredients to find, seven Courts to cross, and one enchanted hourglass counting down the time until everyone she loves dies. Saving her kingdom was never going to be easy, but she hadn't expected Prythian to be quite so difficult or to find an enormous, cursed beast along the way. He cannot tell her his name, and both of them are in desperate need of a cure. Fortunately, he knows Prythian, and Airmid knows magic. So they strike a deal: he will help her find the ingredients, and she will find a way to break his curse. Together, they set out across Prythian with two impossible problems to solve and an hourglass steadily running out of sand.

Summary
With all of the world stretched vast beyond him, the High Lord of Spring turns to Iphigenia. Then, so slow as to seem diffident, he offers his hand to her.
It is now a hand as any other. Those tempestuous claws are hidden away, and though she knows they lie in wait beneath, his knuckles bear no lasting mark from them. His nails are tidy and recently kempt; his palms are broad as the rest of him and toughened against the weaponry he is versed with. So, too, are the tips of his fingers, little crescent moons pressed into them. These, she lingers on.
An irrevocable end held out in front of her eyes—and after, as there is for so few: an irrevocable beginning.
Both take her with unexpected tenderness.
✧
or: after being liberated from her bodily servitude to the high lord of autumn, iphigenia belrose takes refuge in the derelict spring court alongside her savior: the high lord of spring himself, tamlin. together, they claw their way towards their new beginning.
