Summary
Showing up to Sylvaina 2 years late with starbucks and a plague mask but I'M HERE NOW.
Please enjoy whatever indulgent nonsense I come up with for these two.
Anthology containing:
On Good Behaviour
[Pre-Heart of Ashes] - WotLK Era
With the defeat of Yogg-saron, and Azeroth spared from clinical eradication, a celebration is thrown in Dalaran to mark the victory and bolster morale for the coming trials in Icecrown.
While everyone else makes the most of it, a certain Archmage and Banshee Queen find themselves drawn together.
Taste Your Beating Heart
[Pre-Heart of Ashes] - WotLK Era
Sylvanas is badly injured in the process of killing a frost giant in Icecrown Glacier, and the lack of living creatures in their near vicinity leads to Jaina offering an alternative solution to mend the Banshee Queen’s wounds.
The Judgement of Helheim
[Pre-Heart of Ashes] - Legion
Odyn's arrogance and ego have long run unchecked. He casts himself as an undeserving victim of Helya's attacks and resentment, never admitting to the fact that Helheim and Helya herself are products of his disregard for others. But the truth has a way of getting out and in the end, his thoughtless cruelty will be the instrument of his own undoing...
Heart of Ashes
That damned smirk remained. “Are you volunteering?” Sylvanas asked in a low, conspiratorial voice that positively oozed with provocation.
Anduin, Genn and Nathanos were deathly silent, the kind of silence one fell into when they desperately hoped to go unnoticed.
Nostrils flaring, Jaina glared. “And what if I am, Warchief, afraid of one little mage looking over your shoulder?”
-
AKA Battle for Azeroth but what if there wasn't a faction war and it's about two traumatised women falling in love at the end of the world?
Take My Breath Away
[Post-Heart of Ashes]
And just like that, Jaina found herself confronted with the image of Sylvanas Windrunner, feared Banshee Queen, Dark Lady of the Forsaken, and Warchief of the Horde, looking for all the world like a startled deer.
Tides of Darkness
[Post-Heart of Ashes]
Two months after surviving the trials of Kul Tiras, Warchief Sylvanas Windrunner and her Witness, Archmage Jaina Proudmoore, stand in attendance at the Maelstrom as the Earthen Ring clears the skies of Azeroth, bringing back the sun after Sargeras's attack on their world nearly smothered it in ashes, secure in the knowledge that the fledgling peace between the Horde and the Alliance grows stronger every day.
But the machinations of a vengeful queen and an Old God are not to be underestimated, and as wounds wrought by decades of conflict are inflamed, threats to the peace will come from within as readily as they do from without...
Burning Shadows
[Post-Heart of Ashes]
Living with the lingering effects of the weapon that destroyed her home was something Jaina had long since resigned herself to.
Lady of Silver
[Post-Heart of Ashes]
Jaina likes to remind Sylvanas just how loved she really is.
Firecracker
[Post-Heart of Ashes]
As part of the Lunar Festival celebrations, a ball is thrown in Lordaeron, and Sylvanas has plans for her wife.
The Pains of Yesterday
[Post-Heart of Ashes]
Determined to scrape together something resembling closure, Sylvanas returns to Windrunner Spire to dig through the memories and recover everything that remains.
The pain is more than enough to drown in, but that’s why she isn’t doing it alone…
Boiling Over
[Post-Heart of Ashes]
A busy day is the perfect excuse for Jaina to rile up her wife until Sylvanas just can’t stand it anymore.
Companions
Katherine sends Jaina and Sylvanas a cat.
Glass Heart
For Sylvanas, control was everything after having it so brutally ripped away, her very will and sense of being violated down to the fabric of her soul, forced to do things that would remain with her for the rest of her days. To wilfully give in, to surrender knowing that the person she submitted to was not going to hurt her and would respect the slightest sign of discontent—it allowed her to shrug off the heavy chains she held herself together with.

Summary
Desperate to circumvent her fate and leave the place that holds her literal nightmares, Sylvanas Windrunner seeks out the powerful Jaina Proudmoore to form a contingency plan. However, with the introduction of the mourneblade and the reminder of her traumatic past, Sylvanas realizes the mage is her only true path to freedom and, despite Jaina's initial reservations, an uneasy alliance is formed. Unfortunately, the mistrust between them comes to a crux at the worst time, and in order to move forward Jaina suggests an old elven agreement that, unbeknownst to her, she has gravely misunderstood the intentions of.

Yet another marriage fic, except we're dealing with the Shadowlands mess and actually addressing Sylvanas' trauma.

Summary
“Out of the question.” They had all lost their minds, she was sure of it. It had to be some sort of new Corruption; an unforeseen side effect from one too many close encounters with the Blight.
Anduin looked like a lost little boy, defeated and at a loss for how to console her. “It's not as if we've been left with much choice, Jaina.”
“It's preposterous.”
“It is our only hope.”
“Marriage —”
“A union between warring factions would seem to be a wise direction to start with, my lady. If peace is still what we seek.”
“Between the Alliance and the Horde??"
“...yes.”

The Measure of the World by Adavellis
Fandoms: Warcraft - All Media Types, World of Warcraft
05 Mar 2022
Summary
Jaina Proudmoore is the most powerful mortal mage of Azeroth, and she is sick of every other Horde Warchief turning out to be a despot like clockwork. When Sylvanas Windrunner wins her mak'gora against Varok Saurfang, Jaina's patience comes to an end - and so does Sylvanas' reign.
Sylvanas is spared execution so that she will not become a martyr to her loyalists and to Horde sovereignty, but she is demoted and placed under house arrest - and Jaina herself will be the banshee's watcher. Because if there is one other thing Jaina is sick of, it's the collapse of every community she tries to nurture, her seemingly poison touch. But this vigil over a single banshee seems like something she can manage without it wilting and crumbling in her hands.
Cut off from her resources and forced to exercise what power she still has through intermediaries, Sylvanas spends her days mostly alone under Jaina's watch. She worked to protect the Forsaken against an evil that lurks beyond Death; she tried to save her people from eradication; she tried to draw out and crush their enemies. Now, unable to pursue these enemies real or imagined, what is left for her to become?
Covers a divergent BFA and Shadowlands timeline.

The Concept of Peace by ItsNotAnObsession
Fandoms: Warcraft - All Media Types, Warcraft III, World of Warcraft
23 Aug 2021
Summary
A post Legion Azeroth. The causalities, destruction and desecration of the world bears heavy on everyone’s shoulders as the tentative hope for peace lays in the minds of all. It’s now up to the faction leaders to make it so as negotiations begin. A brighter future is within the grasp of both the Horde and Alliance, if only Jaina knew how much that future depended on her.

Summary
Nothing has gone according to plan. Sylvanas hasn't lost control of anything this badly since Arthas marched on Silvermoon, and it feels awfully familiar. Someone is sabotaging her. Lordaeron, Teldrassil, none of it was supposed to happen that way. With everyone in the Horde a suspect, Sylvanas reluctantly turns to the last person she ever expected to ask for help. But she gets a lot more in Jaina Proudmoore than she ever expected. And Jaina has secrets of her own.
Yet another political marriage AU, because clearly we can't get enough of them.

Nor the Arrow for its Swiftness by Themme_Fatale

Summary
Marooned on an uncharted island, Jaina's only hope of survival --let alone escape-- is to work with the Warchief of the Horde.
But as personalities, loyalties, and traumas collide, reluctant cooperation becomes something else entirely... and even the most bitter of enemies may find they have more in common than not.(The obligatory Sylvaina shipwreck AU.)

Summary
The war has not gone well for anyone. The Alliance has three months left before collapse. The Horde is not much better off. With neither victory or death as options, Sylvanas proposes an alternative. A treaty, to ease tensions and open borders, with a political hostage to ensure that both sides stay in line. A marriage with many political implications and Sylvanas would only accept one person. Jaina Proudmoore.
And Jaina Proudmoore made for the perfect hostage. If the Alliance moves wrong, Jaina dies. The Horde attacks, and Jaina reduces Orgrimmar to a wisp of a memory in the minds of children.
Of course, no one expected Sylvanas and Jaina to be anything more than uneasy partners with each other, least of all Sylvanas and Jaina...
