Summary
After a hugely successful concert tour for singer-songwriter Aelin Galathynius, she temporarily leaves the spotlight to visit the one place her heart yearns for - Mistward. She goes back to the little town after a decade, hoping to reignite a spark in writing another best-selling album. Reminiscing her time in the place ten years ago might be the way to go. After all, she grew to be one of the country's most promising superstars through the songs she had written after Mistward. But she arrives and realizes that not everything goes to plan, and maybe not every spark that sizzles out completely dies.
Inspired by Maisie Peters' Elvis Song

Summary
Getting accepted into the University of Terrasen is nothing short of a dream for Aelin Galathynius. After all, it is where her father's simple volleyball ambition started and turned him into one of the most prominent athletes of Erilea. With her own aspiration of becoming a pillar of the sport, she intends to immerse herself in everything volleyball-related, which includes the official team and the club. However, the infuriating (and handsome) club president, Rowan Whitethorn, shoots her down and rejects her application. Thus, marking the start of their passionate hatred toward each other.
After a year, Aelin's time for the team tryouts finally comes. It is also time for her to make Whitethorn bite his tongue and eat his words. Oh, how she'd enjoy exacting her little revenge.

The fiery Aelin has become soft. And frankly, it deeply bothered him.
When they are assigned to do a project together, Rowan thinks it's his chance to unravel the blonde's peculiar behavior. The only thing he doesn't anticipate is the reason behind it.

Embers & Light by duskandstarlight
Fandoms: A Court of Thorns and Roses Series - Sarah J. Maas

Summary
Now, in that study at the river estate, Cassian looked down at the female who would be staying with him for the near future. At the eyes that had drained of fire at the sound of her sisters words and were now nothing but hollow, unseeing.
“You’re coming with me to the Illyrian Mountains,” he told her.
Those steel blue eyes bore into his, unblinking. He waited for the retort, for the snide remark that would send him reeling but it didn’t come.
Somehow, that was worse. It meant that the situation was far graver than any of them had realised.

Summary
Queen of Shadows from Rowan's POV.
This is a continuation of the Warrior and the Embers, but you don't need to read that in order to read this (though I do highly recommend it). This will also comply with canon, but I am going to be sneaking in a bunch of extras and outtakes, and POV’s other than Rowans!

Summary
But strangest of all, she could hardly smell anything. Normally, she could pinpoint every person from a mile away. But when she tried now, there was nothing. She felt… Mortal.
What was perhaps the worst of all was the lack of the familiar flame that was her magic. She reached down into the depths of her, but couldn’t even summon anything.
Not even a single gods-damned spark.
Even after she had forged the lock, even after most of her powers had disappeared, she had had some magic left. Some form of comfort.
She hadn’t felt this cut off from her magic since she had been… Celaena Sardothien.
No. It wasn’t possible.
