Loyalty and Tragedy by WinterRavensDaughter
Fandoms: Chronicles of Amber - Roger Zelazny

Summary
As I turned the fourth card it revealed a woman standing alone, her dark hair bound back. Her black armor was plain and without ornamentation, her expression calm. There was no softness in her, only the quiet assurance of someone who has already weighed the cost of every possible choice. The gaze of her blue eyes was steady and unflinching. This was Deirdre of Amber, who knows the future must be endured, and who walks toward it without illusion.

Exile As Resistance by WinterRavensDaughter

Summary
I flipped the third card and beheld a woman standing beneath an arched ceiling of water and stone, light filtering down in shifting patterns, catching upon her hair. She stood composed, her expression serene, her presence deliberate. All other detail was absent from the card, not denied but left behind. This was Llewella of Rebma, who chose reflection over fire, and who understands that distance, once taken, becomes its own kind of rule.

Knowing How To Wield It by WinterRavensDaughter

Summary
I turned over the second card, revealing a woman in green and lavender. Her fiery red hair fell loose about her shoulders, her expression intent and remote. Her eyes did not meet mine but seemed almost to observe me. Around her, unseen forces were implied rather than shown-- circles half-drawn, symbols unfinished, a sense of power held in reserve. This was Fiona of Amber, who walks where others dare not go, and who knows the Pattern not as a trial, but as a truth.

Five Princesses In Amber by WinterRavensDaughter
Fandom Chronicles of Amber - Roger Zelazny
23 Jan 2026
Summary
A conversation in an online thread left me with a monumental idea- a revisit to the Amber Chronicles from the viewpoint of the five almost completely overlooked-except-for-specific-moments daughters of Oberon.
It would be a ridiculously large task for even a dedicated fanfiction writer. I can't imagine revisiting Zelazny's 1200+ pages and doing them justice.
But... maybe... a short story for each? A specific event or moment in time from their viewpoints- that felt doable. In the end, I am only providing an additional moment for each of them. Even then, I revisit moments in canon twice- just from their point of view. Still, I hope at least some of you will enjoy reading these as much as I did writing them.
