### Deeper into the Woods (Ao3)

Once, in the realm of the fae, a Seelie War General - Gwyn ap Nudd - committed a terrible crime, and went to the most unlikely of places for assistance; the home of an Unseelie waterhorse he’d never met before, for a most unconventional form of healing.

### Game Theory (Ao3)

Six months after Gwyn's defeat of the once Unseelie King, Augus Each Uisge - and decades after their first encounter - Gwyn has the fae waterhorse and ex-King of the Unseelie locked down in a cell, beneath the Seelie Court. In a difficult position himself, ruling an unwanted throne and waiting out the years between now and the time he can step down as King, Gwyn finds himself unable to stay away.

### The Nightingale and Terho the Mouse-Lad (Ao3)

A story about the Nightingale - a gifted, power-hungry and malicious Unseelie shapeshifter - and Terho the Mouse-Lad, a chronically sick, lower class Seelie fae who only wanted to heal the sick. One was trapped in the underworlds as a punishment for his path of destruction, and the other was an innocent boy, determined to save what he thought was a wrongly caged bird.

This is the tale of how they both ended up bound to one another, changing the fae world they lived within - unfortunately, not for the good of all.

### The Court of Five Thrones (Ao3)

Gwyn ap Nudd - newly crowned King of the Unseelie Kingdom - is saddled with a broken Court, not knowing who he can trust, while the bright Seelie Court bears down upon them, seeking to depower the Unseelie Kingdom once and for all. His lover and Advisor, waterhorse Augus Each Uisge, is unloved by many, fielding multiple assassination attempts. Drifting away from each other as life threatens to completely fracture the tenuous connection they have, they must both find allies and a way to survive in a world of fae fraught with chaos.

### The Ice Plague: Book 1 - The Forest of Fire (Ao3)

Seelie fae Eran Iliakambar has lost his family and his home to an unstoppable sea of ice bent on attacking the fae realm. All he has left is his will to find the person who created the destructive force, and bring them to justice. His determination leads him to Mosk Manytrees – Unseelie dryad – who takes responsibility. But nothing is ever as it seems in the fae realm.

### The Ice Plague: Book 2 - The Seething Seas (Ao3)

Eran Iliakambar and Mosk Manytrees shelter from the invincible, sentient plague of ice aboard the Mantissa, a huge legendary ship that hasn’t sailed for hundreds of years. Aboard Ondine’s ship, among a mixed Seelie and Unseelie crew, the two have a chance to get to know each other better. Or they would, but the sea is rife with thorny politics, and the most powerful fae in the world have their eyes on them.

### The Ice Plague: Book 3 - The Ice Plague (Ao3)

Eran Iliakambar and Mosk Manytrees are on the final stretch of their journey to vanquish the plague of ice and defeat the dreaded Mage Olphix once and for all. Travelling with a mixed Seelie and Unseelie group of fae – including the Unseelie King – mourning their losses and dealing with their traumas, the two are challenged repeatedly, struggling to keep their love for each other alive during a time that threatens not only their relationship, but their lives, and the lives of all fae.
