Summary
Martyrdom was always in the cards for her, but she never considered the complications that might arise from giving herself so fully, so deeply, so truly to the cause. Foxglove always knew she would die for Him, but to live? Living is harder.

or, a War cleric of Ilmater struggles through a new quest when she awakens, infected, on an illithid nautiloid. At first, she only sought to heal her allies - and herself, secondarily - but the plot thickens, the gods watch, and the way forward gets murkier every day in the shadow of an Archdruid and the light of love burning bright enough to rival Ilmater's halo.

(give this story a shot if you like: character study, a strong main character with a journey of her own, world-building and Faerun lore, complex moral choices, fantasy religious themes without the real-world prejudice, found family, and Halsin (duh). bonus points if you can wait through a canon-typical sloooooow burn leading up to more sex than you get in the game (lmao)) -

Summary
Nesta Archeron is a shell of herself. Her relationships with everyone - including herself - are complicated and unfulfilling. She's got her coping mechanisms and her books and she's convinced she needs nothing else, deserves nothing else. When her sister tries to stage an intervention, it's not only Nesta's past that rises up. Everyone has demons to face, and given how they all showed up at once, hell must be empty.

Or, a Modern AU. Major diversion from the plot of ACOSF. More emotional intelligence, more awareness of trauma and hurt, and a whole lot of healing to come. See notes inside for a more descriptive summary! -

Summary
"A different voice whispered her name, this time. It did not come from that liminal space connecting her and Cassian, but from outside, elsewhere, upward and away. It swept through her like a storm wind on a choppy ocean, icy and silver and full of dreadful promise."

Or, Nesta plays with Made magic and finds something else, something otherworldly whispers to her, in the dark.

Summary
“Stop it! Just stop it. None of you know what you’re talking about.”
“Your defense of your sister is admirable, but we’re only speaking truths.”
“But that’s just it. You don’t know the full truth. None of you do.”
“What are you talking about?” Feyre asked, and Nesta filled with horror. Elain wouldn't . She couldn't. She swore never to tell-
“Don’t you dare,” Nesta hissed, and she offered Elain one final glare, filled with an equal amount of pleading. She couldn’t fathom the thought of Feyre knowing her secret, she couldn’t bear the thought of them knowing. Not the full extent of what had happened, what had changed her well before the Cauldron-
“Father sold Nesta when she was 16.”
When Nesta's deepest secret is revealed at yet another tense dinner, she was sent into a spiral, desperate to escape before Feyre demanded answers. But it isn't her sister who comes to find her in the aftermath, it's someone else. Someone who might have more in common with her than she ever thought.
TW: Child abuse, suicidal thoughts/ideation, forced prostitution, sexual assault (underage!!)
