Of Swords and Sorrows by Mad_Morrigan

Summary
In an act of desperation, Tamlin sends Andras beyond the wall to make the ultimate sacrifice - but he doesn't find Feyre, who is sick with fever. Instead, he finds Elain, who braces herself for certain death, setting off a different chain of events from the original story.
How will the Spring court break Amarantha's curse? How will the destiny of the Archeron sisters - and all of Prythian - change when the wrong ones are taken across the wall and it's up to Nesta to find them? Will Tamlin be able to handle all three sisters haunting the Spring Court? What's Lucien going to do with a mating bond... to a human? And, last but not least, what if Andras wasn't the sentry to die?
A rewrite of ACOTAR, my plan is to go wherever the words and characters take me. If you’re here for canon, you're in the wrong place.
(NOT on hiatus; I'm just balancing a lot of fics and heavy work/life stuff. I WILL be back though.)

A court of withered roses PART 1 (Anti-Villain Tamlin fic) by GoodLadChompher

Summary
Tamlin, the high lord of spring has suffered. He lost his people, his sentries and his former fiance aided in the destruction of his court while her mate continues to goad him. He had spent months in his beast form trying to run away from the pain, from everything. He was tired but when he came back the high lord of the night court came back just to goad and insult him once more. He wanted to grieve but the night lord wouldn't let him and his mercy died that day.
The night lord once told him he deserved to rot alone, to wither away but what about his tormentor who's hands are stained with the blood of innocents. That semeed hardly fair. Tamlin wanted revenge and he won't betray his morals to achieve it. The night court called him a monster, let him prove it. Set after ACOSF & HOFAS
My first ever fic! Inspired by a few k-dramas and some game of thrones politics.
This is slow burn revenge so it'll take awhile to reach the revenge part.

Summary
"They won't admit they're villains. But I'm willing to be one to get revenge for Clare."
Hello. Hi. Good morning.
Are you tired of Rhysand being praised as an ideal person/partner/ruler? Do you think he needs to answer for his many crimes? Are you mad that Tamlin got retconned until he was a total contradiction of himself? Then you might be entitled to financial compensation, and this fic, where a human girl in Prythian makes common cause with the Spring Court and we get the power struggles we deserve and maybe even an ambitious morally questionable power couple like Feyre and Rhysand could have been. Our MC is a human (for now) who is in Prythian and has a bone to pick with both Feyre and Rhysand because Clare Beddor was her girlfriend. (RIP). I'm giving Tamlin his character back, I'm venting my ever-present anger about how this series could've been better, and I'm making the Night Court pay for their crimes. -

Tears and Regrets by darkbluenath
Fandoms: A Court of Thorns and Roses Series - Sarah J. Maas
15 Sep 2025

Summary
Months after the war against Hybern, the Spring Court and especially it's High Lord are in pretty bad state. Tamlin struggles to find something good - or at least a quick death -, to keep going. He KNOWS he has a mate, a human woman from distant lands, but his love and grief for Feyre keeps him away from her.
Tamlin was never a lucky male and the Mother didn't have any mercy choosing his "equal": a seemingly very taciturn woman with a large amount of political influence and military power, not to comment on the strange aura oozing from her.
The journey to healing will never be easy and going through the way with the woman he hates won't make it any better.This is an "enemies to friends to lovers" fanfic, enjoy!

Summary
She was no lady. Tamlin could tell that much, just from a glance. Hell, he wasn't even sure she was human. He could smell death upon her. Death, and salt water, and smoke.
But, then again, he was sure that after months upon months of lying around in his own tears and sorrow, just waiting for someone to finally put an end to him - he probably smelled worse, by far.
---
When a stranger comes knocking on Tamlin's door, finds him dying and nurses him back to health, he finds himself shaken awake from the heartbreak and sorrow that has been slowly claiming him since Feyre left him.

Summary

Curiosity draws him to follow the stranger to a small clearing with a single simple cottage, even if only to see what kind of person would bother with him anymore...

Summary
People left the Spring court after the war, even if it was meant to thrive afterward. It should have thrived, Prythian won. The hybern king and his torment and constant war efforts were gone for good, most killed, some captured, the rest fled like whipped dogs. So why was the Spring court deteriorating? Calanmai hadn't been practiced for good two years, which was catastrophic. Many of Spring’s people left after their highlord began to waste away, from eye witnesses he should be happy but apparently not. The high lord of night had been sighted twice, not on good terms apparently with how angry he left. Some other night court cronies came too, alongside the heir to the autumn throne.
