Starfall Week 2025 Masterlist

Day 4 - Character A thought it was a date and Character B thought they were going as a group

Summary: A little misunderstanding, thats all it was, a gathering with your friends was all that you thought it was, but for a certain shadowsinger, it was meant something way more.

Cw: Fluff

"Oh, y/n, why didn't you tell me you saw Azriel as a brother?" Cassian had snuck in beside you while you admired the star-lit sky surrounded by your people, his question took you by surprise. He slung his arm around you, "If I had known I never would've convinced Azriel to persue you."

"Wait what?" You spun to Cassian, confusion written all over your face. His words repeated in your head, and the fact that he convinced Azriel to pursue you rang in your mind.

Cassian chuckled softly, his golden eyes glinting in the starlight as he gazed at you intently. "Oh come now, don't act so surprised. It's clear as day that Azriel has feelings for you, strong ones at that." He gave you a gentle squeeze with the arm still draped across your shoulders.

"I may have... Encouraged him to take action, to stop holding back and express his true desires." A mischievous smile played at the corners of his lips. "Little did I know he was a brother to you."

"Cassian who told you that?" Every moment you'd spend with Azriel played in your head, his feelings for you were something you had been unable to see, you turned to Cassian, "This... This was supposed to be something..."

"Azriel thought..." You took a few steps away from Cassian, looking for Azriel in the party, at every flicker of shadow. As you rushed through the crowded party, pushing past bodies and clinking glasses, your heart raced with each step. The revelation hung heavy in the air, Azriel's feelings, Cassian's meddling, the complex web of bonds and unspoken affections.

As you frantically searched the crowded party, your eyes finally landed on a tall, broad-shouldered figure standing alone near the balcony indoors. Azriel. He seemed lost in thought, gazing out at the twinkling sky, trying to ignore the festive chaos swirling around him.

Taking a deep breath to steel yourself, you approached him slowly, your heels clicking against the polished floor. When you reached his side, you gently placed a hand on his arm, feeling the firm muscles tense slightly at your touch.

"Azriel," you said softly, your voice barely audible over the pulsing music and chatter. "Can we talk? Please?"

He turned to face you then, his piercing hazel eyes widening as they met yours. There was a vulnerability in them that you'd never seen before, shadows curling away as if giving you privacy, a raw emotion that made your heart ache.

"Of course, y/n. Always." His deep, resonant voice was low and intimate, meant only for your ears amidst the party. Slowly, deliberately, he took your hand in his much larger one, scared fingers intertwining with your softer skin. The contact sent a shiver racing up your spine. "I will always be there for you, even if you see me as your br-"

You cut him off with his kiss, squeezing his hand tighter, leaning into him. Eyes closing as you finally felt his lips against yours, countless nights of imagining what it would feel like and you never imagined the situation you would be in when it did.

Azriel froze for a split second as your lips met his, clearly stunned by this sudden turn of events. But then, almost instantly, he melted into the kiss. One large hand came up to cup the back of your neck while the other pulled you flush against his muscular chest.

He kissed you back with a fervour that stole your breath away, centuries of pent-up longing, pouring out into the passionate embrace. His lips moved against yours with skill and hunger, coaxing you to part them and allow him to deepen the kiss.

When he finally broke away, both of you were left panting, hearts hammering in sync. Azriel rested his forehead against yours, hazel eyes fluttering open to gaze at you with unrestrained adoration and desire.

"That was…" He murmured huskily, voice roughened with emotion. "Not very family like of you."

"I don't see you as my brother, I never have, that'd be disgusting given the thoughts I have of you." You whispered back, hands over his on your face, "Who even got that in your head, Az?"

"You... You truly don't feel that way?" He breathed, his grip on you tightened, hope shining in his eyes, voice thick with emotion. "All this time, I thought... I hoped, but I never dared to dream... I mean we did grow up together, and I see Cassian and Rhysand as my brothers but..." His hands splayed across the small of your back, pressing you against the hard planes of his body. "I love you, y/n. Not as a sister, but as the one I've wanted since the moment I first saw you."

In response to his words, you surged up onto your tiptoes and captured his lips in another searing kiss, pouring all of your own long-suppressed feelings into the heated embrace.

When you finally parted for air, you nuzzled into the crook of his neck, breathing in his familiar, comforting scent mixed with something new and exciting. Your hands roamed over the broad expanse of his chest, mapping the contours of muscle beneath his shirt. "I'm sorry I just thought by us, last night you meant you, me, Rhys and Cass..." A realisation hit you, "And that's why you thought I think of you the same way... This whole thing was my fault huh?" You asked with a sheepish grin, "Leaving you brooding."

Azriel shook his head vigorously, a soft chuckle rumbling in his chest. "No, no, it's not your fault at all. If anything, I should have been clearer, more direct about my feelings instead of letting them fester all these years. I was just too afraid to risk our relationship, to potentially lose you completely if you didn't return my affection."

"Come on, there's still time for us to spend together tonight." Azriel smiled warmly, taking your hand and leading you towards the balcony doors. The cool night air greeted you as you stepped outside, the distant sounds of the party fading into background noise. He simply held you close, savouring the feeling of finally having you in his arms without restraint.

Elain and Lucien at Starfall as a family 🌑✨

Starfall has always been such a pivotal moment in this series where true healing and peace has either begun to happen, or has become tangible. We have seen Feyre and Nesta at their own Starfall during their journeys, and I cannot wait to see Elain during her’s. The idea was Lucien and Elain with their daughter, who is so enraptured with her father that she cannot even focus on the falling stars. The look of love.

I cannot thank electra.rt enough for this STUNNING artwork. The way in which she conveys emotion in her work astounds me and I have always been floored by her work.

She died never knowing that Ser Barristan had loved her. How could she? He was a knight of the Kingsguard, sworn to celibacy. No good could have come from telling her his feelings. No good came from silence either. If I had unhorsed Rhaegar and crowned Ashara queen of love and beauty, might she have looked to me instead of Stark?

A Little Drunk On You

A/N: Soft, comforting Cassian supremacy!

@starfallweek 2025 March 20th Prompt: Character A has a little too much to drink during the festivities, leaving Character B to take care of them. Or maybe not?

Cassian had experienced stress many times throughout his life, mostly on a battlefield or during missions of some sort. However, he had never felt stress quite like realizing in the winding down of the Starfall party, that he had absolutely no idea where you went.

You who, last he’d checked when you were right next to him - and he could’ve sworn you were a second ago - were very, very drunk.

You two hadn’t been seeing each other for very long but you’d been friends for centuries. You were one of Azriel’s best, having been on what you affectionately nicknamed ‘Vanserra babysitting duty’ when you were stationed in Autumn. You’d gotten too close to that den of vipers though and had to be extracted and retire from your spy duties, using your skill set to aid the Inner Circle in other ways. You had a knack for organization, information and correspondence making you an ideal agent to send in Rhys’ stead for negotiations around the court if he couldn’t be there. You were also an incredible civil servant in Velaris, aiding her citizens however and whenever you could. You even managed volunteering in the theater district. It was kind of impossible for Cassian not to be a little in awe of you.

That didn’t stop him from wanting to protect you. It may have even compounded the problem.

He’d never seen you drunk, or at least never like this. You were swaying before the lights even started falling. He had to find you.

He whipped his head around the room, scanning for any sight or sound from you. Not over there. No. Where were you?

He was about the check another area entirely when he heard it. Your laugh, loud and sharp cutting across the room. He spun, finding you and Mor in equal hysterics, slouching on each other like you were both using the other to hold yourselves up. The only destiny that awaited you two in that configuration was the floor and fate was fast approaching.

Cassian still smiled at the sight as he made quick strides over to the two of you. It was a testament to his strength that he managed to hold the both of you upright with only one hand each.

“You girls having fun?” He asked.

You and Mor’s laughter peetered out as your forehead scrunched in bleary confusion. You stared into your nearly empty drink like it was the Cauldron itself before blinking up, finally catching sight of him.

The grin that split your face squeezed his heart in the best way.

“CASS!” You shouted, sounding the happiest you’ve ever been, and threw your arms around him. Or, at least, you tried to. Cassian had to let go of Mor to open his arms to catch you, the other female slouching back in her chair. You didn’t seem to notice, wrapping your arms around his neck, practically purring.

Cauldron boil him, you were drunk.

You never called him Cass.

Ever.

The only nickname you ever used was Rhys because he had all but commanded you to do so. It was always ‘Cassian’ with you. He had to get you home, now. He couldn’t stand to think of what might’ve happened if you were by yourself. He knew most of the people at this party, but there were some males he didn’t know. His eyes sliced daggers around the room at the thought.

“Cass,” you slurred, playing with a lock of his hair, “what’s wrong? You look like Azzy.”

Cassian paled. ‘Azzy’ had been your boss for centuries. You were on friendlier terms now with the career change, but you’d be caught dead before you let anyone hear you call him that.

Cassian swallowed, looking down at you with a comforting, if not a little nervous, smile, and said, “Nothing’s wrong sweetheart. I just want to take you home and take care of you, okay?”

You looked down, forehead scrunching again as if thinking was difficult. “Okay,” you said, looking up at him, sound in your drunken decision.

“Okay,” he said slowly, pulling you up and wrapping his arms around your shoulders from behind, his wings and body a shield against the world.

“Have fun!” Mor, who was not as drunk as Cassian thought she’d been, called from her chair, taking the remnants of your drink Cassian had deposited on a nearby table.

You giggled - actually giggled - and nuzzled into Cassian even as you walked. Mother spare him.

Flying you down to the apartment you kept in Velaris, just on the edge of your beloved theater district, was tricky. It took longer than Cassian had expected it to, but it did him a world of good knowing he was the one getting you back safe. What? Who said that?

You were adorably stubborn. Attempting to push him in your sluggish state when he tried to unlock the door for you. Insisting on being a good host when you both got inside. Arguing that you were, “not as think as you drunk I am,” and that you were well and fully capable of taking care of yourself.

Cassian laughed, not mockingly, but in honeyed amusement. “I know, sweetheart. But I want to take care of you. Let me do this okay?”

You faltered, and Cassian saw a flicker of clarity in your eyes. He grinned, recognizing that even inebriated as you were, his words could still strike the heart of you like this. You settled back into your subdued state of being from before just as quickly, but you allowed him to care for you this time.

“You’ll want to drink this water, it’ll help you feel better in the morning.”

“Eat some of this, sweetheart. It doesn’t have to be a lot. Just have a little of it.”

“I’m going to wait outside, change into these pjs, and get me when you’re done. I’ll be right here.”

It wasn’t long before you poked your head out the bedroom door and Cassian let himself inside. You were tired, babbling nonsense at this point, as he pulled you to the bed.

He helped you down onto the mattress and tucked you in nice, snug and comfy. You smiled lazily up at him as he leaned down pressing the softest kiss on your forehead. Heart eyes looked down on you for half a moment before he crossed to the door to leave, half sure you would be asleep by the time he got there.

“Cass,” you said, panic pushing through your grogginess. It only seemed to ease a bit when he turned around.

“Stay,” you pleaded like it wouldn’t melt his heart on the spot.

“Sure, sweetheart. Sure thing.”

He carefully removed the covers on the other side of the bed and squeezed into the small space, trying to not disturb your comfort while creating a tiny amount of his own.

When he fully settled, facing you, he brushed a hand over the side of your face and kissed your forehead again. “See? I’m not going anywhere.”

You hummed softly, closing your eyes. He watched you a second longer, then did the same.

A contented sigh from you, and then you said, “Thank you, Cassian.”

Hmm. He sighed like you had, settling down after a night of revelry.

This was nice.

Hmm.

Hmmm.

Wait a fucking second.

He opened his eyes to see you grinning wickedly at him, your eyes decidedly not foggy and your countenance the exact opposite of what you had been moments before. Puzzle pieces clicked in his brain as your grin grew wider.

“W- You were faking?!”

The question drew full body cackles from you as you sat up, the covers moving with you and pooling at your waist. Cassian followed at a break neck pace.

“What!? Explain!”

“Mor and I thought it would be a good idea!”

“What- how- how did- how did you do that?”

You smiled at him with a quirked eyebrow, tucking a strand of hair behind his ear. “I’m one of the best spies your brother’s ever had and I regularly work with and around actors, dear. How do you think I did it? I knew there were a few things that you’d never think I’d say. If I threw those in, along with typical drunken behavior, you’d believe it.”

Cassian continued to make sputtering noises, so you explained further.

“I approached Mor with the idea and she thought it would be funny. I just wanted to see what you would do. You were even sweeter than I thought.” You turned your attention down to the sheets, drawing little shapes with your finger, avoiding his eyes.

The surprise finally dissipated from Cassian’s brain. A wolfish grin spread across his face. He brought his hand up, cupping your chin and pulling your attention to him.

“What I’m hearing,” he said, low and dangerously joyful, “is that you wanted my attention.”

To his delight, instead of cowering, you met him. “I always want your attention.”

He smirked, eyes flicking to the bed below you and back up. “We’re in a bed right now, and you aren’t under the influence anymore…”

You chuckled and he fought the urge to chase the sound. “I’m a little under the influence, it wasn’t all fake. The water and food definitely helped.”

“Well, I’m a little under the influence too.”

“On what?” you said, “I don’t remember watching you drink anything at all tonight.”

“I’m always a little drunk on you, sweetheart.”

And what could you do but kiss him about it?

After party

Azriel x Reader

For @starfallweek [hosted by: @azsazz and @writingsbychlo]

Starfall Week 2025 Masterlist

Day 6 - Starfall this year was a costume party and now Characters A and B can't find one another.

Summary: On the night of Starfall, the party didn't end until the sun came up, and after a nasty break up your sisters dragged you out to party with the rest of the Inner Circle. You end up running into someone whose it.

Cw: Dark!Az, he mad mad, jealous Az, shadowplay, choking, I think by far the most Azriel smut I've written... Smut 18+ MDNI

a/n: Long fic WOOHOOO, strap in and strap on! (would fit better if there *was* pegging involved but still it has Azriel's dick in it so it had to be at least that big)

The pulsating beats of the music thrummed through your body as you stepped into Rita's, your sisters flanking you on either side. Twinkling lights cast a warm glow over the busy crowd, your faces illuminated by flashes of colour from the mirrored disco ball above. The air was thick with the mingled scents of expensive perfume, sweat, and something more primal.

"You needed this," Feyre said, giving your hand a reassuring squeeze. She was dressed as an angel, her shapeshifting powers giving her a way to form pure white feathered wings, and Rhysand was somewhere getting drinks for her, dressed as a dark devil to compliment her. "To get out, have some fun. Forget about him."

Nesta nodded, humming in agreement, her lips curving into a small smile at her sister's words. You knew they were right, after everything that had happened, you desperately needed a night out. Nesta was already snatched away by Cassian, dressed as old warriors of legends, lost in the music.

Elain, dressed like a walking garden, was nursing her drink and sitting by, even though such parties weren't her scene she was with the shadow twins, talking and having a laugh.

You wore an outfit that looked like it was made of life itself, the shimmering fabric seemed to pulse with an inner light, leaves and vines twisting around your curves as you moved. The skirt you wore flared at your thighs, the corsetted top barely covering your curves. Your hair had white tinsels in it, styled up in a high pony, a mask over your face, fully covering you. You found it hilarious, dressing like life, given your powers. Nesta had convinced you to dress slutty to "catch a better male for the night" as she put it, there was plenty blushing involved on your part as she went into detail about the importance of a matching set of lace underneath.

While you stood there, amidst the pulsing throng of bodies, dancing your heart out for the past hour or so, having a little too much to drink, you couldn't recall, the music seeming to flow through your very veins, you felt a sudden presence behind you. Strong hands gripped your hips, pulling you back against a firm chest. You could feel the heat radiating off the body pressed so close to yours.

"I must say, that costume is... Captivating." A low, heavy voice murmured in your ear, sending shivers down your spine. "Life itself couldn't possibly be more beautiful than you look tonight."

You turned your head slightly, catching a glimpse of a someone covered in darkness, he wore a cloak over his head. Suriel? A scythe in hand. Death. How poetic.

You felt a thrill run through you at the dark stranger's bold touch and flattering words. There was something magnetic about his mysterious aura, something familiar too, the way his strong hands held you possessively. When you glimpsed his cloaked form and the ominous scythe, a frisson of excitement mixed with apprehension danced along your nerves.

The mysterious male in the death costume spun you around to face him fully, one large hand still resting possessively on your hip. Up close, you realised you could truly not see his face, as if the darkness that surrounded him made him appear headless. His other hand came up to brush a stray lock of hair from your cheek, leather glove-covered fingertips grazing your skin and leaving tingles in their wake.

"I've been watching you all evening," He murmured, his deep voice resonating through you. "Watching you move, watching you shine brighter than anyone else here. Tell me, little life, do you often have this effect on strangers?"

His thumb traced idle circles on your hipbone through the thin fabric of your costume as he waited for your response, the heat of his palm seeping into your skin.

The male's fingers tightened almost imperceptibly on your hip as he awaited your response, the heat of his touch seeming to brand your skin even through the thin fabric of your costume. You swallowed hard, pulse quickening at his proximity and the dark promise in his tone.

"I… I don't know what you mean," you managed to say, voice coming out breathier than intended. "I'm just here to enjoy the party with my sisters." Even as the words left your mouth, you knew they rang hollow. There was a part of you that revelled in his intense focus, in being singled out amidst the writhing sea of bodies. You were glad you had let Nesta talk you into wearing a matching lace set to "be ready for a male" in her words, because you were going to fuck him tonight, you just felt like it, in your slightly tipsy state, you needed someone to forget him, someone currently without a face seemed like a wonderful option.

A low, dark chuckle rumbled from the cloaked male's chest at your feigned innocence. "Is that so? Well then, allow me to change your mind." In one fluid motion, he pulled you flush against him, one muscular thigh slipping between your legs to press intimately against your core. The heat of him seared you even through the layers of clothing separating your bodies.

"This isn't just enjoyment, little one. This is destiny." His gloved hand slid up your side to cup the swell of your breast, kneading the soft flesh possessively. "Can't you feel it? The pull between us, like moth to flame?" Leaning in, he nipped sharply at the sensitive skin below your ear before soothing the sting with his tongue. "I'm going to worship every inch of you tonight until you're begging."

You gasped as his thigh ground against your core, but instead of pulling away, you leaned closer, "And what of you, do you approach random females having fun out of nowhere and think everyone wants you?"

The cloaked male threw back his head and laughed, a rich, dark sound that sent shivers down your spine. "Oh no, sweet thing. I don't make a habit of approaching just any female." His hand slid lower, gripping your ass and pulling you impossibly closer. "But when fate drops a goddess wrapped in silk directly into my path, I'd be a fool not to act."

He captured your lips in a searing kiss, his mouth moving over yours with skilful intent. One hand fisted in your hair, angling your head to just push the mask past your lips as he plundered your mouth thoroughly. When he finally released you, you were left panting, knees weak.

"My apologies, I couldn't resist sampling the nectar of the Mother herself," He purred wickedly, he wasn't sorry at all. And you weren't either, cause you felt like you knew those lips, and you kissed him back more confidently.

He broke the kiss, only to trail his lips along your jawline, nipping and sucking at the sensitive skin. "Mmmm, I can taste the wine on your lips. But there's another flavor beneath it, something sweeter. The essence of life itself." His hand slid under your skirt, calloused fingers caressing the smooth skin of your thigh. "I wonder, does all of you taste as divine as your mouth?"

The crowded dance floor seemed to fade away, the pulsing beat of the music dimming to a distant thrum. All you could focus on was the heat of his body pressed against yours, the wicked promises in his gravelly voice, the teasing caress of his fingers inching higher up your thigh. Your core clenched with need, arousal dampening your lace.

He groaned softly as his fingers brushed against the damp lace covering your most intimate area. "Already so wet for me, aren't you little goddess?" His hand traced teasing patterns over the soaked fabric, applying maddeningly light pressure. "I bet you're aching to be filled, to be stretched wide. Let's take this somewhere private, yeah?"

Then he pressed his scythe to the back of your head, then you realised that it wasn't simply a part of his outfit and the blade was very much sharp. As the reality of the situation dawned on you, a surge of fear mixed with exhilaration coursed through your veins. The cold metal of the scythe pressed firmly against your skull, a potent reminder of his power and dominance.

"Move, now," He commanded, his voice a low growl that vibrated through you. Without hesitation, you allowed yourself to be led through the crowd, his grip on your arm unyielding. The dance floor receded further into the background as you stumbled after him, your heart pounding in your ears.

He guided you through a door in the back, set for privacy in the club's nightly activities, the doors were dark red yet translucent, you could make out faint bodies of lovers pressed together, the male guided you to one of the empty rooms. The room was dimly lit, the air thick with the scent of incense and something muskier, more primal. A large wooden table dominated the centre of the space, its surface polished yet stained with age.

As soon as the door clicked shut behind you, he spun you around to face him, pressing you back against the cool wood of the table. His hands roamed over your curves, squeezing and kneading as if to claim every inch of you as his own.

"You look exquisite in the dim light, like a Nightbloom blooming under moonlight," He murmured, his breath hot against your ear. "So delicate, yet perfect for the taking." His fingers deftly untied the bow at the front of your corsetted top, revealing the lacy cups barely containing your breasts. "Let's get rid of these restrictive garments, shall we?"

With practised ease, he peeled off your corset, leaving you in your mask, tiny skirt and the soaked lace covering your cunt.

His hungry gaze devoured the sight of your nearly bare body, drinking in the curves and valleys of your skin. The way your nipples pebbled in the cool air, the gentle rise and fall of your chest as you breathed heavily, the glistening evidence of your arousal on the lace clinging to your cunt. Every detail was etched into his memory, fueling his desire.

Without warning, he swooped down, capturing one pert nipple between his teeth. He suckled gently, sending jolts of pleasure straight to your core. At the same time, his hand delved beneath your skirts, fingertips grazing the sensitive inner thighs as he worked his way upward.

"Mmm, you do taste divine," He purred against your breast, his free hand palming the other, rolling the nipple between his fingers. "I could feast on you all night long."

You cried through the pleasure, head rolled back, you still couldn't see the male's face, covered in darkness, but as the shadows flickered in the room, you were fully sure who he was, yet you still played the part of not knowing.

His gloved hand slipped past the lace barrier, fingers brushing against your slick folds before circling your clit in deliberate strokes. "Such responsive little life," Death murmured approvingly, his hot breath tickling your skin. "I can tell you're eager for more."

With a sudden, decisive move, he hooked his fingers inside you, thrusting them deep into your clenching heat. A guttural moan escaped you as he pumped his digits in and out, stroking that magic spot within you that made stars explode behind your eyelids.

"That's it, let me hear you," He coaxed, his thumb continuing its relentless assault on your clit. "Scream for me, little goddess. Show me how much you crave my touch."

"What should I moan for you?" You gasped, toes curling on the table, hands gripping the sides as his gloved fingers curled inside you, now that you knew, you could sense the scars on his hands. "Death?"

He chuckled darkly, the vibrations of his laughter sending tingles through your body. "Yes, Death," He confirmed, his fingers never ceasing their sensual torment. "And I'm here to collect your soul..." His shadows moved the Scythe to aim for your throat, forcing you to keep your head up.

His pace quickened, pumping into you harder and faster until your whole world narrowed to the sensation of his fingers stretching and filling you. The pressure built, coiling tighter and tighter in your core until you teetered on the brink of release.

"Now, scream for me, life," He demanded, his thumb rubbing merciless circles around your throbbing clit. "Let go and give me everything." With a final, brutal thrust, he pushed you over the edge into blissful oblivion.

With a final, ruthless thrust, he pushed you over the edge. Your body convulsed, back arching off the table as a scream tore from your throat. Waves of intense pleasure crashed over you, drowning you in ecstasy, light leaving your form as it slammed back in, you were a little ashamed to admit that your previous lover had never made you feel like that just by his fingers, or any part of him.

Death watched, mesmerized, as you came undone beneath his skilled touch. The way your cunt spasmed around his fingers, the flush of bliss on your cheeks, the sheer abandon in your expression, It was intoxicating.

As the aftershocks subsided, he slowly withdrew his fingers, bringing them to his lips to taste your essence. "Delicious," He purred, savouring the flavour of your climax, tasting your essence.

He leaned in close, his shadowy form looming over you. "But don't think that was enough to sate me, little goddess," He whispered, his breath a chilly caress against your ear. "I want to consume every last drop of your sweetness, to drink deep from the well of your desire until you're utterly spent and begging for mercy."

He grabbed your hips, pulling them back against his straining cock. The thick head prodded insistently at your entrance, seeking entry into your welcoming heat.

With a swift, powerful thrust, Death buried himself to the hilt inside you, his rigid cock stretching you wide open around him. A harsh groan ripped from his throat at the exquisite sensation of your slick walls enveloping him, your tightness a delicious contrast to the chill of his skin.

He began to move, withdrawing almost completely before slamming back in, setting a punishing rhythm that shook the table beneath you on it's legs. Each stroke was a claiming, a possession, a declaration of his dominance over your quivering form.

The sound of flesh meeting flesh filled the room, punctuated by your cries of pleasure and his guttural grunts. His shadows danced across the walls, mirroring the wild, primal energy coursing through his veins as he lost himself in the carnal delight of taking you.

The shadows covered the translucent glass, so no one outside could see the two of you. His movements became even more frenzied, hips snapping forward with reckless abandon as he chased his own release. The table creaked ominously beneath the force of his thrusts, but he paid it no mind, too consumed by the need to fill you, to mark you as his own.

"Fuck, you're so tight," He gritted out between clenched teeth, his hips snapping forward with renewed vigour. "I'm going to fill you up, little life," He snarled, his voice raw with lust. "Every last drop of my seed, marking you as mine." With a final, brutal plunge, he buried himself to the root inside you, his cock pulsing as he spilt his cum deep within your womb.

The sensation of his hot release flooding your insides triggered another orgasm, your body trembling and clenching around him as you came once more. Body curling around his to grip on.

"He. Didn't. Deserve. You." Azriel grunted as he slammed through your climax, his hood falling down, the shadows that he'd used to cover his face falling, "I hated hearing you sob for him at night. When my mate should be moaning for me." He growled the term and for you it was like time stopped.

Azriel captured your mouth in a searing kiss, swallowing your gasps and moans as he rocked into you, his hips grinding against yours in a slow, deliberate dance. "You're mine now, y/n," He growled against your lips, nipping at them possessively. "Mine to claim, to cherish, to fuck."

His words sent shivers down your spine, a thrill of excitement mixed with trepidation. But there was no denying the fierce passion burning in his eyes, the unyielding conviction in his tone. He wasn't asking, he was declaring, staking his claim on your very being.

As if to emphasize his point, Azriel pulled out of you abruptly, only to flip you onto your stomach and yank your hips up into the air, his shadows gripping your ponytail, grabbing your form still for him.

Without wait, Azriel lined his still hard cock up with your dripping entrance once more, still more to go, the blunt tip probing at your slick folds. Then, with a savage grunt, he drove into you again, burying himself to the hilt in one brutal thrust.

"Ah- AZ!"You felt every inch of him, his hard length splitting you open, reaching depths you didn't know existed. He set a punishing pace, his hips slapping against your ass as he took you with animalistic ferocity, each stroke driving home his claim on you.

Azriel's grip on your hair tightened, pulling your head back as he leaned over you, his breath hot against your ear. "This is what you needed, isn't it, Life? To be taken, claimed, owned?" His voice was a low, menacing purr, laced with dark promise. He pressed in fully, bruising your cervix with a rut of his hips. "Because I'm not done with you yet. All you needed was me. Your mate. But instead you went for that pathetic male. I could feel you when you were under him, how little he pleasured you. I wanted you to explore around and that was the male you chose to have your heart broken by? That male made you cry!"

Azriel's accusations cut deep, striking at the heart, you had chosen wrong. Tears pricked at the corners of your eyes, but he continued unabated, his relentless pace never faltering as he pounded into you.

"You thought you loved him, didn't you?" He sneered, his voice dripping with contempt. "Thought he understood you, could make you happy. But look where it got you - crying yourself to sleep, desperate for something more. Something real."

His hand left your hair to trail down your spine, nails digging into your skin as he gripped your hip, holding you in place for his brutal thrusts. "I am that something real, y/n. I've always been here, waiting for you to realize it."

"Az..." You whimpered under the weight of him, his cloak fell as his wings stretched to their full might. Though you weren't scared of him, instead you felt something snap between you, a thread of gold that connect you.

Azriel's wings unfurled, casting an ominous shadow over the room as they spread wide, the leather a stark black against the dim lighting. The sight alone would have been intimidating, but coupled with his dominant position over you, it was a potent display of his power and control.

As he continued to pound into you, his movements grew more erratic, his hips snapping forward with a frenzy that bordered on violence. The table creaked ominously beneath you, threatening to collapse under the force of his thrusts.

"I'm going to ruin you for anyone else," He growled, his voice a low, menacing rumble. "No other male will ever satisfy you like I can. You belong to me, body and soul." His hand slid from your hip to wrap around your throat, applying just enough pressure to make your pulse race. "Say it, princess. Allow me to kill him and I will bathe in his blood, for ever shedding a tear on your pretty face not born of pleasure."

Azriel's grip on your throat tightened, cutting off your air supply as he held you in a vice-like embrace. His free hand slid down to grasp your jaw, forcing your gaze upwards to meet his intense stare in the obsidian of his shadows, being so dark they reflected back everything he was doing to you, like a mirror to the show.

"Look at me, y/n," He commanded, his voice a low, dangerous hiss, his eyes were fully shadow. "Meet my eyes and tell me you understand. Tell me you're ready to let go of that pathetic excuse for a lover and embrace the darkness that's been waiting for you all along."

His hips never ceased their relentless assault, each brutal thrust driving home his point, his possession, his ownership, his jealousy. The air was thick with tension, heavy with the weight of his unspoken threat hanging over you like a spectre of doom. "Say it," He repeated, his grip on your throat constricting further.

"Yours," You choked out, the word barely audible over the pounding of your heartbeat in your ears. "I'm yours, Azriel."

With those three simple syllables, the dam broke. Azriel released his hold on your throat, allowing you to gasp in a ragged breath. His fingers dug into your jaw once more, angling your head to the side as he leaned in close, his lips brushing against your ear.

"Good girl," He purred, the approval in his voice sending a shiver down your spine. "Now, let's finish what we started."

And with that, he redoubled his efforts, fucking into you with a newfound intensity, each thrust pushing you closer to the edge of oblivion. A ring of white forming around the base of his cock, everything of his he'd already deposited deep within you.

In that moment, he didn't look like a male who'd put on a death persona for a little party, but he was death himself, come to take you. And you would gladly go with him.

Azriel's movements became more frantic, his strokes growing shorter and harder as he chased his release. His nails raked down your back, leaving red welts in their wake, a physical manifestation of the claim he was making on you.

"You're mine now, y/n," He growled, his voice strained with the effort of holding back. "My mate, my love, my everything. No one else gets to touch you, to taste you, to make you scream."

With a final, brutal thrust, he buried himself to the hilt, his cock pulsating as he spilt his seed deep inside you again. The feeling of his hot cum filling you, you let out a strangled cry as he put his entire weight on your back, the table underneath giving out. Mixed with a shadow that rubbed insistently at your clit, it triggered your own climax, waves of pleasure crashing over you as you came undone in his arms.

Azriel collapsed atop you, his weight pressing you into the now very broken table as he rode out the aftershocks of his orgasm. His chest heaved against your back, his hot breath fanning over your neck as he struggled to catch his breath.

After a long moment, he lifted his head, looking over his shoulder at you with a satisfied smirk playing on his lips. "That's right, princess," He murmured, his voice husky with satisfaction. "You're mine now."

Slowly, he withdrew from you, his softening cock slipping free with a wet pop. A trickle of his essence leaked out, glistening on your inner thighs as he settled beside you, pulling you into his embrace.

"You're safe with me, y/n," He whispered, nuzzling his face into the crook of your neck. "You know that, right?"

Azriel's words were a soothing balm to your frayed nerves, his warm breath against your skin calming the lingering tremors of your climax. You nodded.

"I know," You replied softly, turning your head to press a gentle kiss to his cheekbone. "I trust you, Azriel. I... I feel what Feyre explained she felt."

He hummed in approval, his arms tightening around you as if to pull you deeper into his embrace. "Good," He murmured, his lips grazing your temple. "Because I intend to keep you safe... And satisfied... For eternity." He kissed your temple, "Still, tell me, should I kill him? As much as I didn't enjoy you wanting to go after someone else, he did break your heart."

Azriel's question hung in the air, heavy with implication. In truth, part of you wanted revenge, craved the sweet justice of watching Azriel's wrath unleash upon the one who had wronged you. But another part, the part that had surrendered itself to this dark, beautiful male, whispered that perhaps there was mercy to be found.

"No," You said finally, your voice firm despite the uncertainty swirling within you. "I don't want you to kill anyone for me..."

Azriel regarded you for a long moment, his expression inscrutable. Then, slowly, a dark smile curved his lips. "I will end generations for you, my mate. Anything that hurts you is nothing but dirt to me."

Azriel's declaration sent a thrill through you, a mix of fear and exhilaration at the depths of his devotion. But as you looked into his eyes, you saw no cruelty there, only an unwavering commitment to your well-being. He would be your darkest protector, your mate.

"I believe you," You whispered, leaning in to brush your lips against his in a tender kiss. "And I'm glad to have you by my side, but he's not worth any more moment of my time. Just let him go."

Azriel's response was immediate and passionate, his mouth claiming yours in a searing kiss that left you breathless. His hands roamed your curves, mapping every inch of your body as if reassuring himself of your presence.
