Give Me Something Beautiful by Separatist_Apologist
Fandoms: A Court of Thorns and Roses Series - Sarah J. Maas
18 May 2023
Tags
Summary
“You think my help is conditional?” he challenged.
“You’re a man aren’t you?” she shot back. Cassian dared a small step toward her. Nesta didn’t flinch nor did she shrink back. She merely watched, waiting to see what would happen.
“No, Nesta Archeron. I am not a man.”
And because he was so very, very stupid, Cassian unfurled his wings just to illustrate his point. He was a fae male, not a human man.“What’s the difference?” she demanded, her heart thudding so loud it was the only thing he could hear. Cassian couldn’t make heads or tails of the scent coming off her—it wasn’t fear or arousal, but something else. Something that excited him all the same.
“Would you like to find out?”
-or- The bond snaps between Nesta and Cassian the first time they meet

Summary
Nesta falls off a cliff and dies while she’s on that terrible hike. There is also more of a plot, but honestly a big part of this is me getting mad yet again about the hike scene.

8. Wedding night - Wedding day sequel, Nesta's POV.

Summary
The Night Court tells many stories about the past—about war, about sacrifice. About why Uncle Cass leaves the room when Mother and Father get moony, why they whisper behind his back about her.
Twenty-five years later, when he finds her portrait hidden in an abandoned wing of his home, Nyx sets out to find Nesta Archeron, and learn why.
A Nyx & Nesta story about reconnection, reconciliation, and reckoning.

Happier Than Ever by ChelseaMorningGirl
Fandoms: A Court of Thorns and Roses Series - Sarah J. Maas
13 Feb 2026

Summary
The bond flares to life in her chest—sharp, bright, Cassian—and Nesta’s entire body goes rigid even as she forces herself to reveal nothing.
Cassian lands first, Azriel following close behind. They’re both in their leathers, both clearly having come straight from Windhaven. Cassian’s face breaks into a grin when he sees her, sees the gathering, and something about that unguarded joy makes her throat close up.
“Well, isn’t this nice,” he says, striding inside with that easy confidence she used to find thrilling. “A family gathering and nobody told me?”
He crosses to where Nesta stands with Nyx, and before she can brace herself, he’s there, solid and warm and overwhelming. His hand comes to rest on the small of her back, familiar and possessive, and he presses a kiss to her temple that she feels like a brand.
“Hey, sweetheart,” he murmurs against her hair. “Miss me?”
—————
Months after Bryce Quinlan returned to Midgard, Nesta barely recognizes herself anymore. She can't wrap her mind around the concept of forever when she never asked to be immortal in the first place.
When Nesta finally breaks, Cassian is forced to confront every way he's failed her.

Summary
She’s my mate. He couldn’t form another thought in his head. It echoed again and again, making him think he might lose his damn mind. Who is she?
Rhys went silent, likely seeking the answer from somebody else. Nesta Archeron.
That name would haunt his dreams.
She was beautiful. Devastatingly so. She was from this awful city. She looked like she could rip him to shreds–
Cassian. She’s married.

To Choose Her by TheTeaQueen
Fandoms: A Court of Thorns and Roses Series - Sarah J. Maas
24 Sep 2024
Tags
Summary
Instead of wings, long dark blonde hair fanned out on the pillows. A thin arm hugged the one this figure now rested her head on, as if she’d turned to grasp onto it whenever her bedmate had risen. Her breaths came slowly, deeply, a sign of an easy sleep.
She was beautiful in the sunlight, which caught on the freckles sprinkled across her skin. Not even Mor could deny it as she took in the sight.
But what was most striking was the fact that, underneath the sheet that had been drawn up to her shoulder, Nesta Archeron was decidedly bare in Cassian’s bed.
Cassian stood in front of his dresser, his back facing her, yet had turned his head on her arrival. Seemingly frozen in the middle of buttoning one of the sleeves of the cotton shirt he’d donned – distinctly not his usual training leathers – he was looking at her with an expression Mor didn’t think she’d ever been on the receiving end of.
There was no kindness there, no warmth that he usually greeted her with. Instead, there was a fierce irritation, a protectiveness, even. The message was clear even to her basest of fae instincts.
A warning.

We Both Go Down Together by Mad_Morrigan
Fandoms: A Court of Thorns and Roses Series - Sarah J. Maas
06 Nov 2025

Summary
Nesta Archeron desperately needs her happily ever after. She’s overcome her trauma, atoned for her missteps, and worked hard to temper her sharp edges so she could be the mate Cassian deserves, and the sister Feyre and Elain need. All that remains now is her mating ceremony, and then she can take her place among the Night Court's Inner Circle.
Across Prythian, Eris Vanserra has spent centuries doing the exact opposite: sharp edges are what's kept him alive in the Autumn Court. He's fought tooth and nail to stay on top and two steps ahead of the game, and worn the ugly mask of politics for so long he no longer remembers where Eris the Heir ends, and Eris the Person begins.
But on the day of Nesta's mating ceremony-a day that should mark a new beginning for her and an end for him-both realize that old wounds don't always heal quickly, and that even the best, most careful planners can still get taken by surprise.

Summary
My earliest memory was of my mother — staring at the face I would one day inherit.
The cold eyes that only ever looked warm when they turned on me. She had cheekbones like blades and eyes that could gut you with a glance. I have them now, too.
I adored my mother. And I despised her. The line blurred — as it always does in families like ours. something we pass down like jewelry or a name.

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.
