    Summary

    He had long since left the dance floor, but Eris Vanserra still felt the burn of silver fire on his skin.
    Nesta Archeron.
    She had danced with him like she wanted to burn him alive, and Mother help him, he hadn’t wanted to be anywhere else.
    The music hadn’t stopped, but the moment had. Still, some part of him was caught in it—off balance, branded, wondering if he’d imagined the whole damn thing.
    He should leave. He’d made his move. He'd shown his hand. Maybe more than he should have, outright turning down the gift of a Made weapon in exchange for a chance at Nesta's hand in marriage.
    There was nothing more to be gained here.
    And yet.

    or

    A retelling of ACOSF, starting at the Winter Solstice Ball, where Eris decides that he can’t—won’t let Nesta slip out of his grasp this easily. Nesta, feeling trapped in a life she never chose, accepts his offer to train her power at the Autumn Court.
    This is a story about choice and healing on your own terms.

    EDIT 11/04: Not abandoned, just on hiatus for personal reasons. There's a lot going on in my life right now, but I'll get back to this once I actually have the time and headspace to write the conclusion the story deserves!

    Summary

    After the war and the guilt of her actions, Nesta Archeron finds herself on the edge, consumed by despair. The weight of her mistakes—hurting those she loves, especially Cassian—drives her to the brink of ending it all on the mountain. In a moment of desperation, she winnows without control and accidentally lands in the Day Court. There, she is met with Helion, who sees through her pain and offers her a way out—one that could free her from her past and the future that haunts her.
    Gifted the opportunity of a fresh start, Nesta agrees to fake her own death and vanish into the shadows, hoping that this will finally allow her to heal and for her family to be rid of her.
    But as she embarks on this dangerous path, Nesta is forced to confront not only her darkest fears but also the possibility of redemption and the hope of reclaiming her life, and her family, when the time is right.

    Summary

    “Can I come in?” He asked, the ghost of a smirk twisting the corners of his lips slightly upward. Gods, she wanted to throttle the arrogance out of his beautiful face.

    “I’m naked.” She frowned, pressing the door shut with full intentions of it hitting his big, dumb nose. A strong hand gently pushed it back.

    “All the more reason.”

    — — —

    Cassian is ordered by Feyre to check on Nesta everyday, to make sure she's breathing and eating and getting sunshine on her skin. Perhaps an even harder task than that—he's ordered to bring her to the townhouse once a week for a weekly dinner.

    OR- what if Nesta's trauma wasn't left to fester for so long?

     

    In which Nesta learns how to breathe again, and Cassian learns how to love.

    Summary

    “You brought me breakfast. Of course. Some kind of peace offering from the great High Lord and his inner circle?” Cassian finally rallied his composure before this conversation could get any further off track.

    “Yes. Breakfast.” He held out the bag to her. “Seemed like an appropriate gift, from a new neighbor.”

    Someone who didn’t know her might have been forgiven for thinking they were already witnessing the pinnacle of Nesta Archeron’s rage. But as her scowl twisted into something deeper, Cassian knew he’d only scratched the surface. “Neighbor?!”
    --
    Cassian is outraged by the Inner Circle's plan to force Nesta to move into the House of Wind against her will. To make sure she has support available without taking away her choices, he proposes an alternative : he's moving in next door to her, and is determined to earn her trust by not repeating their earlier mistakes.

    Summary

    This is a darker version of events than Nesta's canon story where she has less plot armor.

    Summary

    Nobody expected Eris Vanserra to propose marriage; once he had, they certainly did not expect she would accept. But Rhysand said Nesta had a choice, so she seized it with both hands, counting on the fact he would not break his word and risk damage to their alliance.

    It wasn’t an easy decision to make, but Nesta knows it was right when she thinks of everything that brought her here.

    Nesta leaves the Night Court to forge a path of her own, and a marriage of convenience becomes something more.

    Summary

    Months and months have passed since Nesta Archeron cut the King of Hybern's head off.

    In that time, the River House has been built, Velaris is once again vibrant, and everyone is enjoying the happiness that was hard earned, and at great cost. Well, mostly everyone.

    Nesta, who spirals further and further into her own grief with every passing day, has instead burrowed into her tiny apartment in the city, intent on drinking her sorrows away.

    But when she goes missing, a concerned neighbor shatters the relative contentment the Inner Circle had been enjoying. Now, faced with the very real possibility that she is once again in the clutches of the enemy, they must stop at nothing to get her back.

    For Cassian, that means tearing the world apart, until he has the chance to make sure his mate comes home safe.

    But Nesta is no damsel. She was taken by Hybern once, they will not succeed twice. Now is the time for vengeance, and she will not stop until every last one of her enemies is vanquished.

    A post-ACOWAR revenge plot AU, in which Hybern kidnaps Nesta as revenge for the death of the King.
