Summary
"I've turned it over in my mind again and again," Nesta said, and looking at her now he saw the glassiness of her eyes. The faraway look that indicated some sort of shock. "It must have been about equality, right? I'm your mate, I'm expected to be equal to you."
Cassian's mouth fell open, and he looked helplessly at Azriel who, despite all his efforts at constant stoicism, appeared nothing short of stricken.
"I know it must be a disappointment that I did not make Carynthian."
"Nesta," His brother began, his voice strained. "Do you think we put you in that Rite?"
His mate finally lifted her gaze, settling her unfocused eyes on the shadowsinger without any real heat in them.
"Didn't you?"

In which, in the aftermath of the Blood Rite, Nesta's mind suffers more than Cassian realizes, resulting in a horrific misunderstanding. -

Summary
The Night Court tells many stories about the past—about war, about sacrifice. About why Uncle Cass leaves the room when Mother and Father get moony, why they whisper behind his back about her.
Twenty-five years later, when he finds her portrait hidden in an abandoned wing of his home, Nyx sets out to find Nesta Archeron, and learn why.
A Nyx & Nesta story about reconnection, reconciliation, and reckoning.

Summary
“Still think you belong here, little witch? Not even those leathers make you look convincing. I could still snap you like a toothpick.”
The male – not quite as tall as Cassian, but perhaps just as bulky, had been eyeing her from the moment she’d first arrived in this gods’ forsaken place for training. She knew he’d just been biding his time before taking a shot.
Typical male behavior, if she ever saw it.
“I belong where I please,” Nesta replied, making an effort to step around him.
Instead, he stepped towards her, and a large, rough hand landed on her shoulder, heavy through the fabric of her jacket, pushing her back.
“I’m not finished.” He snarled, leaning in close enough that she could smell the ale on his breath. “Someone ought to remind you of your manners when a male is speaking to you.”
“Do not,” she warned, angling out from his hold, “put your hands on me.”
--
In which Nesta beats up a man and Cassian learns that constant resilience has a price.

Summary
No. No, no, no. This could not be happening.
Not here, not now, not her—not with so many eyes watching and calculating. And yet, the word formed in his mind with perfect clarity even as his entire being rebelled against it.
Mate.
***
During the High Lords meeting, as Azriel is squeezing the very life from Eris, an unexpected female comes to his aid. It is bad enough that said female is Elain Archeron. Worse still, as Eris comes to find out when the bond snaps moments after his lucky escape, she is also his Cauldron-blessed mate. As they navigate what this means for both of them, through the tears and the laughter, will it be beautiful... or just a beautiful disaster?
