    Summary

    Cinderella retelling for Gwynriel week AU day


    Gwyn has been a ward of the kingdom of Night since losing her mother and sister as a young girl. Now, too old to remain in the lonely orphanage she grew up in, she must make her own way in the world. Fortunately, she's found a good position in the Royal Archives. Unfortunately, her boss is a witch determined to make her life hell.

    Prince Azriel is no prince at all. Adopted into the royal family as a boy, he would never be in line to rule, but his brother insisted on giving him the title anyways. Now that the king has married, he's determined to see his brothers as happily settled. With their other brother, Cassian, already embroiled in a doomed pursuit of the queen's older sister, the king and queen decide to turn their attentions to Azriel instead. When he refuses to entertain any of the pretty, vain candidates they attempt to throw at him, they change tactics, ambushing him with a grand plan he has no hope of escaping.

    The king and queen announce their plans to host a royal ball to find a wife for the mysterious Prince Azriel. And every eligible maiden in the kingdom is invited to try her luck at a chance to win a prince.

    Summary

    A bright new artist with a promising future, Gwyneth Berdara is ready to get her name out there and promote her debut album at any cost. Azriel, a renowned bassist for the band Velaris, has managed to shirk the spotlight-against all odds-until a bit of bad press threatens to damage his reputation beyond repair. When the two of them make an agreement to pretend to date in order to benefit both of their careers, Gwyn never expected to fall in love with him. Now that the end of that arrangement is coming to an end, she finds herself struggling to say goodbye.

    Summary

    "No one has ever looked at Gwyn as though she were the centre of their universe. And between where his hand is burning a hole through the too-thin satin of her dress and the feel of his heartbeat under her palm, she’s beginning to think Azriel might be the centre of hers too."

    When Azriel and Gwyn go to Paris on their annual holiday for her birthday, something is different between the two unlikely friends. Tensions rise like the sun over the Trocadéro at dawn. Secrets of their friendship unfurl like the Seine sweeping through the arrondissements. In the city of revolution and romantics, Gwyn and Azriel realise that they're just two more fools in love.

    A grumpy/sunshine friends to lovers mini fic inspired by Emily Henry for Gwyn Week 2023 in collaboration with a DIVINE commission from @booknerd87.

    Summary

    Gwyn had a big holiday party planned. All her friends and coworkers and their plus ones were invited, but then Winter Storm Omega canceled all her plans. Now it's Solstice Eve, and Gwyn finds herself alone for this festive time of year.

    Until a clatter arose from outside.

    Cue Azriel, her neighbor's son who was watching his mother's house while she went on a girl's cruise.

    Gwyn thought fate was out to get her this Solstice, but fate had other plans for her -- plans wrapped in shining paper and a perfect little bow.
