Summary
The story basically a canon divergence of Chapter 47 A Court of Silver Flames
---
After Nesta Archeron exposed the truth about Feyre’s fatal pregnancy—a secret Rhysand and his Inner Circle buried in the dark—she was banished from Velaris under threat of death.
Cassian was ordered to take her far from the city. But instead of salvation, he left her in a crumbling tower surrounded by the endless sea.
Alone with the ghosts of her past and the silence that answers back, Nesta begins to unravel the thin thread between memory and madness. Haunted by what she became in the Cauldron—and by the water that remade her—she faces the one war she can’t fight with a sword: the one inside her own mind.
She’s survived the war, the Cauldron, and the world’s cruelty—but can she survive herself?
A Court of Silver Flames reimagined through Nesta’s eyes — stripped of forgiveness, drenched in silence, and haunted by what was left unsaid.
---
[Note: This is not a story of healing. It is a story of neglect and unacknowledged trauma]

Summary
“Archeron,” he says, when he’s close enough to count each individual hair in the fan of dark lashes. She goes still in that particular, feline way, gaze lifting to his like it’s unspooling from a reel. The slow recognition in her eyes does something ugly and sweet to him.
“Hello Cassian,” she says, dry.
“You look—” He stops. Beautiful is a word that feels to intimate. Too much like everything they’re not. “—like you’re on the hunt.”
“I could say the same about you.” Her mouth tips.
The music makes the floor vibrate under his boots. He’s aware of his hand—of the ring. Of his entire body thrumming. “Can I buy your next one?”
“You can,” she says, considering him over the rim of her glass, “but I may refuse to drink it.”
“Sounds a bit bratty, Nesta.”
She hums. “What ever will you do about that?”
____
When Cassian lets his family convince him that Nesta isn’t the right woman for him, he marries his safe choice. But cutting Nesta out of his life proves more difficult than he thought.
Nesta promised herself she’d never become that woman. But letting go of the love of her life appears to be impossible. Until she meets someone with auburn hair and amber eyes.

Summary
“Come here,” he said. So close to a plea. “Everything else aside, just…come here, Nes. I’m still here.”
He wasn’t—he’d been more distant than ever. Coming to bed late, and leaving for the dining room before she even had the chance to wake up properly. It felt like their last conversation had been ages ago, before the girl fell onto Rhys’ lawn.
She remembered the night before it all happened. Their last night together: her hands held above her head, and him smiling and whispering words against her neck while he made love to her.
“You are the most precious thing in the world to me,” he’d said, under the bright moonlight.
She missed his steady presence, and the physical comfort he gave so easily.
She missed him.
***
Or, Nesta and Cassian struggle to come back to each other after the events of CC3.

Summary
“I often feel too big for my body,” he whispered against her neck, so quiet that she wouldn’t have understood him if she were still human. “For this world. There's…there's too much of me.”
The stillness of the world around them kept Nesta's breath trapped in her chest. I know what you mean, she didn’t say.
“Then turn into something smaller.” Nesta replied instead, her voice not quite as dry as she usually kept it.

Summary
I was brought out of fic retirement by this message
"(tw for rape and pregnancy) idk if the timeline of acotar even works for this idea but imagine if nesta didn't get away from Tomas and when feyre and the ic come to nesta and Elain, Nesta's pregnant and showing. She refused to marry Tomas or anyone even if it would save her reputation. I'm just thinking of how it would change the mood of the ic meeting her for the first time. and also obvs change canon afterwards in some form. "
I diverged slightly and Nesta will be a mother in the first meeting with the IC.

Summary
"In her mind, she knew those very hands could be capable of wielding gentle pleasure, just as they wielded the sharp edge of a blade. Masterful and to a rare skill of something altogether Godly."
Gwyn was spiralling.
So fast and hard she barely could keep her grip on the world she had clawed up Ramiel for.Azriel was burning.
So fierce and wild, he couldn’t help the long-forged walls that he had built going ablaze.Some scars, no matter how different, look the same in the dark.
What happens when an unstoppable force meets an immovable object, both spinning and flaming to the depths of the past? What happens when hidden scars are revealed, and we step into the shadows of our hearts?
Set post ACOSF, a Gwynriel story.

Summary
“Just that the feeling is mutual. The same way you can’t lose me?” Gwyn shook her head. “I can’t lose you.”
The shadows on Azriel’s shoulders wriggled down his arms, coming to wind around Gwyn’s wrists like an affectionate pet. “Berdara, you’re not going to lose me.”
“What if Beron tries to–”
Azriel lowered his voice, “Beron Vanserra is an old fool, too blinded by his lust for power and insecurities to see that his ruin is right under his nose.”
