    Summary

    Nesta isn’t depressed, she doesn’t need saving, she just doesn’t like hanging out with Feyre’s new friends.

    Or, a somewhat cathartic rewrite of that TERRIBLE holiday party.

    Summary

    No matter where she was, no matter what she was doing, she never left the Cauldron.

    Pain and emptiness have been her companions since she was born. Her mother made sure of that.

    The drinking was supposed to help; it was helping. Now confined to the House of Wind, Nesta can't escape the darkness that follows her every step. What happens when it finally catches up with her?

    Cassian doesn't know how to help.

    No one can help.

    Would it would be better if she let the darkness have her? Maybe tonight, she can finally close her eyes and never wake up.

    Summary

    He remembers his eyes bulging, his back hunching, his bones breaking, stretching, rearranging. Screams. A fear so primal he could taste it. The feeling of his claws cutting through flesh like it was butter. The texture of meat and bones between his teeth. The taste of blood in his mouth. Delicious.

    But those memories are getting more blurry the longer he’s here. They tell him that he had a mental breakdown and that he made it all up in his head as a coping mechanism to deal with the physical and sexual abuse he suffered from Laurel Gates Marilyn Thornhill. Yet even though they allow that Laurel Gates Marilyn Thornhill is real, her face is also blurry, like paint melting on a canvas and leaving only puddles vaguely resembling the original portrait.

    There is one memory too vivid, too full of sensory detail for him to have made up.

    The Kiss. Or rather, the series of kisses he shared with Her, just once.

    He knows instinctively that if they ever find out about Her, they will try to take Her away, too, and that if he loses Her, he’ll lose the most important part of himself. He’d rather kill himself than let that happen, even if She only exists inside his head.

    Summary

    Nesta hasn’t heard the sound of a voice—familiar or otherwise—in five days. Not since Cassian slammed the balcony doors behind him on his way out after a particularly nasty argument, wingbeats like thunder retreating into the clouds.

    It seems that all she can do these days is anger the ones around her.

    She hasn’t left the House of Wind in two weeks. She hasn’t been allowed to. Not since Rhysand told her, voice black with rage, “If it wasn’t for Feyre, if you weren’t my brother’s mate, I would have had you executed for what you did.”

    Not since Amren said she belonged in one of the cells beneath the Court of Nightmares, because, “Some monsters don’t stay tamed, no matter how hard you try to civilize them.”

    Not since Mor stared at her and said to her cousin, “I don’t know why you’re surprised, Rhys. You’ve always known she’s reckless and useless in equal measure. She never did become one of us.”

    Not since Cassian stood in that same room and stayed silent.

    _____

    Even after the Mask is safely returned by Bryce, Nesta is confined to the House of Wind. Deciding enough is enough, she makes plans to sever something that was supposed to be her sacred forever.

    Summary

    Nesta Archeron disappeared three months to the day after the end of the war against Hybern.

    Without so much as a whisper, she slipped away into the night, leaving it all behind.

    The Night Court. Her sisters. Him.

    There were no answers, no justification, no anything.

    As quickly as she appeared into his life, she vanished, as if she were never there. The few things she owned were left abandoned, locked away in an attic, to be forgotten like so many other relics of their lost ones.  

    Three years later and the wound still burned as if she’d stabbed him directly in the chest.
    ---
    When Nesta disappears at the end of the war, everyone believes she simply left on her own free will, without a care for anyone, least of all him.

    But when the hunt for the Dread Trove begins and Cassian is tasked with bringing her back home - at any cost - he learns that not everything is as it seems.

    Summary

    “Tell me what you want,” she whispers, grinding once—gently, expertly.

    “I want,” he says, voice rough with control, “for you to do whatever you want to do to me.”

    She freezes for just a second. Then she turns around, straddling him fully, her knees caging his hips. Their faces are inches apart. She cups the back of the couch, her body swaying to the rhythm.

    “So this is a game, then?” she asks.

    “It might be,” he says, low. “Or maybe I just like to watch you wreck me.”

    ________________

    Nesta Archeron doesn't do repeats. She doesn't get attached. But something about Cassian—his restraint, his hunger, the way he looks at her like she's something holy and not just another transaction—makes her want to break all her rules.

    What begins as a distraction turns into something far more dangerous. When Cassian returns seven nights in a row their dynamic turns into a slow, burning power play neither of them fully controls.

    Summary

    Whatever the case, she was here, and that was his chance — one he would be a fool not to take. He had let his darkest emotions win too many times before, and always lost because of it. So now Tyler held back the urge to refuse her outright. To yell, to sneer, to threaten. He had always known how to play wicked games, turning her rules into his own. Why not play again?

    The story of how just a few phrases could have changed the plot of the second season.

    Summary

    Cassian looks at her, searching for something in her face, but she won’t turn. Won’t let him see the hollowness inside. The quiet roar of thoughts that have been spiraling again, louder with every passing hour.

    “You can hate me,” he says after a long moment. “You can scream at me, Nesta. You can blame me. I deserve it. Just… say something. Just don’t give up.”

    She lets out a soft laugh. It’s empty and sharp, like breaking glass. “Maybe I already did. Maybe you all just caught on too late.”

    _________________________

    After Nesta reveals the truth of Feyre’s pregnancy and faces Rhysand’s wrath, Cassian whisks her away to the Illyrian mountains. But there is no breakthrough. No healing. Only silence, grief, and a descent into darkness that Cassian is too late to stop.

    What happens on the hike sets off a chain of consequences no one is ready for. Broken in body and mind, Nesta must confront not only the ghosts that have always haunted her, but the ones who claimed to love her.

    Summary

    Theo hummed. He hadn’t laughed like the others, and Draco wondered if his best friend had feelings for his- for the witch, he corrected.
    “I think she is quite nice. Of course, a Gryffindor through and through, but I’ve studied with her a few times this year. She’s not as insufferable as our dear Draco has accused on several occasions.”
    Draco winced at the reminder that he was, in fact, an asshole.
    However, his guilt soon turned into irritation when he realized that Theo might know a bit more about Granger than he did.
    “You study with her, mate?” Draco asked without hiding the aggravation he felt.

    Summary

    Takes place after Bryce and Mask Gate.
    Nesta discovers she is pregnant and flees the Night Court in fear for her life, and the life of her daughter. She is given sanctuary in Summer, hidden in one of the ancient secret cities.
    Nesta hopes for an easy life, hidden and left alone. A life where she can just be.
    But that all changes with the birth of her daughter.

    Fate has called Nesta back to politics, back to a war of mind games.
    Former enemies became allies, alliances formed and broken.
    It often leaves one wondering, is Nesta a pawn in a High Lord's game or is she letting them think she is merely just an innocent pawn?

    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.

    Summary

    I think Lorcan and Elide deserve their own version, so I wrote them one. This sets out to fill in the blanks in KoA after she saves him from the battlefield, as we were severely deprived of all those moments in between which WE KNOW they spent together. Mainly focusing on the nights spent together. Lorcan POV.

    ***
    “Do you think you can sleep?” he asked her, trying to divert her thoughts. She looked so tired.
    She nodded, and his heart exploded when she curled together in a tight ball next to him, scooted closer to his side and nuzzled her cheek against his shoulder. Her soft, small hand curled around his arm and she looked as if content to go to sleep right there, right that moment.

    Lorcan couldn’t speak, couldn’t think, could barely breathe. Could just lay there, stare down at her, and let her move into him like an iron thread wrapping around his spine. Just by existing, she had slipped behind all of his defenses and moved into his soul. She had stolen his heart for her own and he knew it was futile to ever get it back. And he knew he was completely, utterly at her mercy.

    The declaration slams into her. Shackled. The fissure of her heart is so stark and sudden, she’s surprised nobody hears the resounding crack echoing through her. She staggers back a step, putting distance between them. It makes that bond, that thread attached to her rib, linking them together, ache painfully.

    Unbeknownst to him, Cassian is at risk of loosing not only the love of his life, but a chance at having the one thing he has craved ever since being dumped at the Illyrian war camp as a youngling as well.
