Summary
For too long Sloane's path has been in the hands of others. Rage burns in her heart. She has been misjudged and under estimated.
Even now at Basgaith where the hands of strangers are either attempting to build her a new path or trying to beat her down. This time the ending will be different, she will be powerless no longer. With a dragon in her corner and a sword in her hand, she has the power now.
Or rather - the story of Sloane's pre-occupation with hands - the ones that have shaped her destiny and the ones she desperately wants to hold.

Summary
The continent is at war. Only Tyrrendor and Poromiel stand against the relentless march of the Navarrian forces. The world rests on a knife's edge. The Tyrrendor intelligence service must learn the identity of the Navarrian spy master, the Wyvern before its too late and whispers of a project code named Venin result in the scorched earth of the Tyrrish homeland.
Sloane Mairi must partner with Navarrian double agent Dain Aetos if they are to have any chance of finding the Wyvern and the truth about Project Venin. The only problem… they have history. When the list of reasons why their partnership is doomed to fail is longer than her insubordination charge sheet, they’ll have to face off with their demons to stand any chance of succeeding. The fate of the continent rests in their hands.

Summary
Lady Sloane Mairi never entered the Quadrant or bonded a dragon. Instead, she’s spent the last decade exasperating her aristocratic guardians, who expect her to do little besides mind her manners, smile pretty, and marry well. So when a politically-advantageous betrothal is finally secured, Sloane figures an arranged marriage will at least grant her some autonomy. After all, how hard is it to handle a husband?As it turns out, pretty damn hard, because the broad shoulders waiting at the end of the aisle belong to Colonel Dain Aetos, a jaded officer who gave everything to the war effort...and is decidedly Not Amused to find himself bringing home a tempestuous heiress.
Bound by law for the next four months, the couple merely has to endure their handfasting and they are free to part ways. But past wounds want healing, unexpected bonds demand forging, and blistering chemistry promises to set their plans aflame.
****
(Or, the arranged marriage, post-war, grumpy-gremlin AU in which Sloane is the feisty aristocrat who never went to Basgiath and Dain is the decorated war hero who is barely holding it together)

Summary
Welcome to my Dain Aetos and Sloane Mairi universe! Here you will find palpable yearning, a soft & sexy secret relationship, sustained chaos, and utter devotion (in short: a good time is had by all ❤️🔥)
This series includes my Dain and Sloane establishing story, “follow me like the moon" and the associated fics that build on it. In this little timeline, I've placed the genesis of Dain and Sloane’s relationship in Chapter 28 of Onyx Storm—between the two isles trips.
Stories take place throughout the remainder of Onyx Storm and can be read as standalones, though each fic builds on those that came before, so might be best enjoyed in order.
The series "officially" concludes with "i came from the crowd seeking you," which also includes a little epilogue to the entire miniseries. Bonus post-canon oneshots may be added at random (we see you, domestic Slain!)
I so hope you enjoy 🫶

Summary
Every emotional crisis Ridoc had gone through recently, Bodhi had been there. Waiting, watching, pulling him back from the edge. And now Ridoc found himself searching for him in doorways like some gothic vampire stalker. Maybe he’d given in too soon. Maybe he just didn’t know how to stop.

Summary
Liam’s shadow, the spoiled daughter of a fallen Tyrrish house, the cadet branded Venin behind her back. Sloane Mairi was never meant to be anyone’s weapon. But her signet is rewriting the rules of war and pulling her into orbit with the one man she swore she’d never touch.
A Wingleader built from his father’s rules and his own fear of failure. Dain Aetos was shaped by obedience. But Sloane’s defiance cracks his armor, forcing him to question who he serves and what he truly wants.
As ancient secrets come to light and cast Dain and Sloane as the centerpieces of the chessboard, a complicated bond coils between them. Not dragon-forged. Something worse. Because obsession doesn’t make good soldiers and sharp-tongued girls don’t make good secrets.
