A Court of Gold and Gloom by kaliyahwrites17

Summary
"Shadows may hide...but the light reveals all."
After the events of A Court of Silver Flames, Gwyneth Berdara begins a quiet journey of healing, strength, and self-discovery beneath the stars of Velaris. As her power awakens into something stronger than anyone could have imagined, and the Night Court’s shadows draw closer, an unfamiliar bond forms between her and the male who commands the dark.
A story of when light meets shadows, and connection forces healing. Gwyn finds her voice, and Azriel finds himself listening. Healing is never quiet, but love can be. Will Azriel finally open his eyes, or will he continue chasing what he can't have?
Be prepared for real yearning, angst, smut, adventure, and, of course, a slow-burning romance. I do support all three Archerons, so no serious Elain/Nesta slander. Girls support girls here.
P.S. Looking back, the beginning chapters are not the best as far as writing goes, but I have definitely improved. Will be going back and slowly fixing them.

Summary
“It was as if the light was both held by the darkness and responsible for it. As if without the other, neither would exist. It was a perfect balance. It was harmony. Inevitable as breathing. As a heartbeat. As a perfect note.”
A thrilling exercise in trust with the Shadowsinger sets Gwyneth Berdara on a venture of self discovery. Balancing the truth of her deep connection with Azriel, her grief over her sister’s death, and the questions still yet unanswered about her lineage, Gwyn puts faith in herself to finally embrace who and what she is.
Explore dynamic Lightsinger/Shadowsinger lore, enjoy tantalizing chemistry, and meet versions of characters you may not ever have expected. A story of trust, magic, passion, sisterhood and love.

The Earl Who Ruined Me & The Lady that Seized Me by TheOtherHalfoftheRibbon

Summary
Dearest Gentle Reader,
Every season arrives with its predictable parade of hopeful young ladies, watchful mothers, and ambitious fathers. Diamonds sparkle, reputations tremble, and marriages are arranged with all the delicacy of a chess match played in silk gloves.
This year, however, society has been gifted a most curious development.
Miss Gwyneth B. Vanserra, the carefully guarded daughter of the formidable Duke Eris Vanserra, has at last stepped into the marriage mart. Beautiful, composed, and trained to perfection, the young lady appears precisely the sort destined for a respectable and advantageous match.
Yet where such perfection appears, complication often follows.
For it seems Earl Azriel Singer, a gentleman whose reputation for danger and rakishness precedes him in every drawing room, has taken an interest in the duke’s daughter. Those familiar with the Earl know him to be many things: charming when he chooses, quiet when he prefers, and entirely too intriguing for polite society’s comfort.
One must therefore wonder, dear reader, whether this unexpected attention will produce a suitable alliance…or a scandal the ton will not soon forget.Yours truly,
The Other Half of the RibbonBookmarked by startimess

Summary
"I want to be there now," Bucky continues, his gaze burning into her profile. "If you’ll let me."
Running her tongue along her teeth, Wanda wipes her fingers hard against the skin beneath her eyes. They come back wet. She looks up at the clear blue sky and runs her hand down the line of her tightening throat. "I don’t need any help."
"I know," he says. His gaze remains set on her profile. "Maybe I need help."
Smiling a small, incredulous smile, she shakes her head and still doesn’t look at him. "I don’t know how to help anyone."
He chuckles. "You think I do?"
Wanda looks at him, her smile widening. Brushing her hair behind her ear, she bites on her bottom lip and looks out to her lake. Even that lacks the answers she seeks.
"Maybe we can learn together," he says, his gaze drops away from her profile for only a moment. Wanda doesn’t look at him despite wanting to. His expression is too hopeful, his heart beating too rapidly. "No pressure, of course."

After the events of Westview, Wanda’s content to isolate herself away from the rest of the world in Sokovia. Unfortunately for her, Bucky has other plans.
