    Summary

    I may be ice. As frigid and deceptively fragile as frost at dawn—an apt crown for aphelion of the tantalising warmth that has ever tempted but never thawed me. Yet I’m also summer. Mesmerising menace masked by mirth, debauched bearer of every earthly delight, purveyor of such luminescence that I rival Sol, although I’m damned myself to gloom that only a half–denizen of the Void can know.

    He may be fire. As fervid and dazzlingly ferocious as wildfire at zenith, subjugated to the furious tempest that rages within him, mercilessly as surf ravages scar, demanding immolation on a protean pyre—for whom does he burn tonight? Yet he’s also winter. Winsome woe of reckoning, scourge to the sublime and dread of the decadent, although all he covets in these worlds are the halcyon days he’s due.

    We are both creatures of contradictions. It’s why we understand one another. But it’s not lost on me that ice and fire cannot mingle without the frailer’s demise, that summer and winter never meet anywhere but the Ice. We tried for temperance.

    We failed.

    Summary

    He had long since left the dance floor, but Eris Vanserra still felt the burn of silver fire on his skin.
    Nesta Archeron.
    She had danced with him like she wanted to burn him alive, and Mother help him, he hadn’t wanted to be anywhere else.
    The music hadn’t stopped, but the moment had. Still, some part of him was caught in it—off balance, branded, wondering if he’d imagined the whole damn thing.
    He should leave. He’d made his move. He'd shown his hand. Maybe more than he should have, outright turning down the gift of a Made weapon in exchange for a chance at Nesta's hand in marriage.
    There was nothing more to be gained here.
    And yet.

    or

    A retelling of ACOSF, starting at the Winter Solstice Ball, where Eris decides that he can’t—won’t let Nesta slip out of his grasp this easily. Nesta, feeling trapped in a life she never chose, accepts his offer to train her power at the Autumn Court.
    This is a story about choice and healing on your own terms.

    EDIT 11/04: Not abandoned, just on hiatus for personal reasons. There's a lot going on in my life right now, but I'll get back to this once I actually have the time and headspace to write the conclusion the story deserves!

    Summary

    Derived from the old word congruō, Congruence is a rare cosmic phenomenon. While much is still unknown about this particular bond, it is characterized by a very powerful, very concentrated energy exchange between the two subjects—undoubtedly the most powerful one ever observed.
