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.

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?

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.
This is a part of a series, but you don't have to read the first part to understand or enjoy this one!

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.

Summary
Nesta Archeron died in the Blood Rite.
The Rite was a trick, to separate her from Cassian and break her.
But Ramiel, the mountain that had witnessed millennia of death and rebirth, did not bury her.
It resurrected her.
Weeks have passed. Nesta wakes in the House of Wind, carefully watched and tended to. Nesta wakes in a gilded cage. Her magic is gone. Her memories are fractured. Her body feels altered, haunted by sensations she can’t explain.
Everyone around her is keeping secrets. Cassian, once her anchor, wants nothing to do with her.
But he’s been reassigned the role he once swore he’d never play again: her guard. Her jailor.
Bound to her side, yet further from her than he’s ever been.But Nesta is changed. Something ancient took root in her when Ramiel brought her back. she is a vessel for something that never should have entered this world. The Court of Nightmares will stop at nothing to claim her. They believe she will herald the rebirth of the first age, and its bloodlines. One build on legacy, dark magic, and powerful elites.

The Human Sisters by noyeahforsure
Fandoms: A Court of Thorns and Roses Series - Sarah J. Maas
23 Jun 2025
Tags
Summary
An alternate universe of sorts where Nesta and Feyre don’t actually hate each other, they just fight sometimes. Like real sisters. Nesta goes to Velaris while she is still a human to spend time with Feyre at Rhys’s request. Their relationship slowly improves, while Nesta explores her sister’s new world.
What is the same as canon: the world, the characters (not necessarily how they act, just the basics), the plot up until the moment that Feyre asks her sisters for help with the queens
What is different from canon: everyone has at least a modicum of emotional intelligence, Clare Beddor was (is??) Nesta’s best friend, Elain is into Mor (because why not), Illyria is not a terrible place, Nesta and Rhys form an unlikely but ultimately adorable friendship

Fire, Blood, and Shadow by CrochanCursebreaker

Summary
Nesta has finally agreed to train with Cassian, and as she grows stronger, so does the tension between the two of them. But when she watches Cassian and Azriel spar in the training ring, a fantasy takes hold, one that she never expects to play out.
Cassian and Azriel both see the way her body reacts to the sight of the two Illyrians, and while it's not the first time a female has lusted after them both, Nesta may be their undoing.
***
Enjoy my take on Nesta's fantasy, one where she doesn't have to choose, and where everyone gets their happy ever after!
I also try to be as true to the original work and canon events, but I've rearranged some minor events and information to make more sense within the story.
Happy Reading!
