Heavy In Your Arms by ChelseaMorningGirl

Summary
"Excuse me," she manages, standing abruptly. The room tilts slightly, and she has to catch herself on the back of her chair.
"Are you alright?" Feyre is half out of her seat, concern etched across her features.
"Yes," she says. "I just need some air."
"You look pale," Cassian says quietly. He's watching her with those sharp hazel eyes that see too much. "Maybe you should—"
"I said I'm fine." The words come out sharper than she intends, but another cramp is building and she needs to get out of here before she breaks down in front of them. Before they have more ammunition to use against her.
—————
Nesta's first fae cycle hits during a tense family dinner, but she doesn't understand what's happening to her body. Determined not to show weakness, she pushes through the pain until she collapses during training the next morning. When Cassian discovers the extent of her suffering, everything changes.

To Wake a Winter Heart by darknessdescends

Summary
Born under Amarantha’s brutal reign, Nephele has never seen the world beyond temple walls. Raised in isolation at Cesere’s edge, her life has been one of ritual and restraint—until Hybern’s forces raze her sanctuary, leaving her with nothing but ashes and grief.
Rescued by her court’s High Lord, she is brought to the House of Wind, where ancient magic stirs and winged warriors fly under starlit skies. But even there, peace eludes her. Blood-stained dreams and a pull toward something unknown haunt her sleep in the quiet of the library.
As war looms, Nephele draws the attention of Rhysand’s Inner Circle. His spymaster, Azriel, cannot understand why his shadows linger around her. His general, Cassian, feels a strange familiarity in her presence. Amren scents forgotten magic in her blood. And Mor watches the threads of fate tighten around a girl who may unravel everything.
Something long-dormant stirs in Nephele—power she never knew, truths hidden beneath a life of lies. To stop what’s coming, she must uncover what was taken from her… and decide what, and who, she’s willing to fight for.
What will it take to awaken the winter within her heart?

I Shall Be Free by ChelseaMorningGirl

Summary
"Quite the fighter, aren't you?" He tilts his head, studying her. "Even injured. Even exhausted. Still fighting."
"Stay back!" Nesta's voice is hoarse.
"Or what? What will you do, little doe?" He sounds almost amused. "I just obliterated an entire court. What do you think you can do while bound in my spymaster's shadows?"
"Rhys—" the big one—Cassian—tries again.
"I said be quiet." Still that terrible calm. Still watching Nesta like she's the most fascinating thing he's ever seen. "Tell me, Nesta Archeron. Heir of Dusk. Where is the Trove?"
"I don't know what you're talking about." And it's true. The word tugs at something in her mind, but there's only blankness where the memory should be.
—————
After Feyre's death, Rhysand's grief consumes him, and the world with it. In his mad quest for the Dread Trove, he captures Nesta Archeron, and strips away her memories, her autonomy, her very self. But some things can't be broken, no matter how thoroughly they're pressured to shatter.

A Court of Snow and Snares by delreydays

Summary
“𝘠𝘰𝘶 𝘤𝘢𝘮𝘦 𝘢 𝘭𝘰𝘯𝘨 𝘸𝘢𝘺, 𝘭𝘪𝘵𝘵𝘭𝘦 𝘴𝘩𝘢𝘥𝘰𝘸.”
They say the Illyrian Mountains remember every child born with wings. Their warriors. Their bloodlines. Their sons who burn bright enough to scorch the snow. But they forgot her the moment she clawed her way into the world: a devil’s child cast out under Amarantha’s rule, dumped in the wilds where the Night Court fades into ocean, left for a test no one expected her to survive.
Eight winters old, sharp as frost, half-starved and half-shadow, she roams the north even where the camps dare not enter. No family. No name but the one she clutches like a secret. Lilia. No promise but her own teeth and the hush of the creek she calls home.
Or...
When Rhysand and his Inner Circle find Lilia, starved, desperate to tear the world open and vanish, they offer warmth she never asked for and a promise she doesn’t believe. Just a soft place to rest.
But the wild doesn’t forgive what the world tries to tame. And her shadows always remember the way back through the dark.

Nothing Tried To Eat Me Today by ChelseaMorningGirl
Fandoms: A Court of Thorns and Roses Series - Sarah J. Maas
11 Nov 2025

Summary
The words hung in the air between them, casual and devastating all at once.
"Nothing tried to eat me today, so it was fine."
Cassian had asked her a simple question about her day—How was the library?—the kind of question people asked each other all the time. He'd caught her in the hallway between her room and the stairs.
Nesta had answered like it was a test, and then she'd looked like she'd already failed.
He watched her face carefully, saw the exact moment she registered his expression shifting. Her shoulders drew back, that familiar defensive armor sliding into place—the armor he'd tried to hammer through a hundred times with challenges and provocations and frustrated demands that she just try harder.
But there was something else there too, something that made his chest constrict—a flicker of confusion, maybe even hurt, quickly shuttered behind those steel-blue eyes.
"What?" The word came out sharper than she probably intended. She took a step back from him. "What did I say wrong?"
—————
When Nesta comes back from the library and Cassian asks about her day, she says something that makes him understand her in an entirely new way.

Summary
“How about a deal, Feyre darling?” Rhysand said as he soundlessly swooped in from behind her back. She could picture it on her head, without looking at him; how he would have that amused, mischievous glint in his eye that would dance in the moonlight, how his eyes would be gleaming with wicked, predatory amusement. Feyre slammed her sketchbook shut. “Pity, they were such beautiful drawings,” he grinned, pulling out a large blanket from thin air and dramatically laying it out onto the ground.
“If Tamlin finds you here he will have your head.”
“Oh? Well he happens to be with Ianthe right now, so I wouldn't be too concerned with that.” Ryshand laughed.
She scoffed. “What do you want Rhysand?”
“Marry me.”
Feyre grows up among the place gentry as a mortal, with her sisters. She is engaged to Tamlin, but one day she finds him in bed with Ianthe, his childhood friend. Rhysand finds her pondering her future in the gardens and makes a deal - they will get married in the Night Court. A loveless, purely political marriage. Which should all be fine, expect for when Feyre starts to fall for him...

Summary
When Feyre and Rhysand plan to kill his sentries and shatter his mind, Lucien is forced to make a bargain. He knows he is a prisoner, a dead man walking in a Court full of shadows almost as heavy as his own grief. Lucien must find a way to escape the Night Courts clutches and return home to Spring Court to salvage the shattering Court.
Cassian knows one thing, and that is anger. Anger at a dead Amarantha, who tore his family apart. Anger at Tamlin, for all he did to hurt Feyre. Anger at his Emissary, the prisoner now in Night Courts clutches. But overtime, Cassian begins to question the mask the clever fox wears day and night, and searches to find the truth.

Summary
The breaking happens three weeks to the day after Bryce Quinlan retrieves her parents from the House of Wind.
It is brutal, and as unapologetic as Lady Death herself often was, when fighting for what she believes in.
More than anything, it is loud.
Books are thrown around the private library, glasses are shattered with the intensity of a power that was supposed to have been bargained away yet lingered.
Unofficially (yet all but officially) confined to this place that was somehow both a beloved home and glorified prison, banned from her work in the Library or from interacting too frequently with her Valkyries, Nesta Archeron shatters into a million pieces.
Screaming and wailing, she breaks for hours, nearly throwing herself off the nearest balcony, before the lights flicker and a stray curtain wisps out to catch at her ankles, drawing her back.
Nesta Archeron breaks on a bright, sunny morning.
No one is there to witness it.
No one except a magical abode and its many, many ghosts.
The aftermath is as follows.
