I don't understand how anyone can say that Nesta is healed and happy.

She literally ended ACOSF saying that she wasn't worthy of Cassian, that she didn't deserve friends, wondering whether she was finally worthy of Ataraxia, and saying that she didn't deserve to be loved but that she would work towards earning it every day. That's not healed. That's someone who's barely begun the healing process.

And happy? Have people not read HOFAS? We have an entire bonus chapter dedicated to just how unhappy Nesta is. And let's be honest, she's not unhappy, vacant, and lost because of Rhysand. She couldn't give two hoots about him, his opinion, or his verbal lashings. She's unhappy and hurt because of Cassian. Because he, once again, failed to stick up for her, defend, or protect her from Rhysand threatening her with physical harm. And, once again, Cassian was the most furious with Nesta and was willing to see her punished, which is the exact opposite of mated male behavior.

“Her home was no longer just a physical place, but a person too. (….) For Bryce, home was, and always would be, Hunt.” - HOFAS

People thinking Bryce would choose anyone other than Hunt are out of their damn minds.

@nestaarcheronweek | Day 01: Queen of Queens

“We heard about you down here. You are the one the sea and the wind and the earth whispered of.”

“Nesta.”

“You took from the Cauldron itself.”

“Come with me, Queen of Queens, and we shall return what was once lost.”

-  Chapter 54, A Court of Silver Flames.

Nesta has been referenced more than once as a queen in the books, and perhaps this is a portent for what the future holds for her. Maybe not exactly as queen, but as ruler of the Dusk Court.

In this art, me and Luana wanted to represent Nesta as it's High Lady, holding her two swords: Cauldron made Ataraxia and Starsword/Gwydion. And we couldn't have loved more how @gessueter brought this idea to life.

Tharion Ketos and Ithan Holstrom share a single brain cell, but neither of them has it. Who knows where it is? Not them, that’s for sure.

“When we stop again… can you show me how that contraption works?” … “Trying to figure out what it does has been driving us all crazy.”

Genuinely cannot believe this was a canon scene. Had to go and draw this as soon as I read it.

[iocaisaint]

I don't know how to explain but one thing I'll always love about Nesta is her accomplishments and how she's seen in the eyes of canon vs how they genuinely don't register to her (like not in a humble way she genuinely just never thinks about)

like she's able to circumvent a high lords glamour through pure strength of will

she then treks on a 4 day round trip through wolf country in the dead of winter to go get her sister back, simply because it wasn't right she was taken when the family has only benefitted from that

this leads into ACOMAF where Feyre thinks about asking Rhysand if he can force Nesta's hand if she doesn't agree to host (daemati powers) and then questions if he could even do it to Nesta

We've got literal gods talking about some Nesta "you're the one the wind whispered about" in ACOWAR

her having the King off Hybern scared as a human simply because she pointed a finger at him

Then there's the king slaying obviously

Then at some point between ACOFAS & ACOSF she manages to deal with her terror of bathtubs through pure exposure therapy and no outside help

Then there's the weapons she made

Not being able to be contained by Rhys at the height of her power (+ him admitting that she scares)

Kelpie slaying, dread trove, pure death etc.

Then there's the mother imbuing her power into Nesta's friendship bracelets? This one was genuinely crazy

Her managing those 10,000 steps that were difficult for even the bat boys on nothing but strong thighs and spite!

This is one I hate but the IC just throwing her at any single man (Helion & Eris) in Pyrthian to get what they want and it working

Holding the pass for Gwyn & Em, murdering Briallyn, stopping time, making a deal with a soup pot, having a one on one with the mother and saving Nyx, Feyre and Rhys in one morning

Then HOFAS she's calling up the dread trove through universes and slaying the wyrm, getting Gwydion and going down as saviour of another universe

This entire moment>>>>>> "Rhys nodded without looking at the warrior, and focused all his fury on Nesta. To her credit, the female stood stiff-backed, chin high. Imperious and unbending. Ember couldn't help but admire her.

Rhysand’s violet-blue eyes guttered into pure darkness at the challenge in Nesta’s expression, her stance. A predator recognizing a worthy opponent—and unsheathing its talons. His hands curled at his sides, as if invisible claws were forming."

Then we get into Nesta's pov and her only desires are to go home to her man, hang out with Emerie & Gwyn, get her hands on a pegasus, read smutty books and eat chocolate cake 😭

I may not like how her story went but I'll always appreciate that this part of her stayed the same

[lyssasdrafts]

Feyre: We decided that if, Cauldron forbid, anything happens to us, we would like Nesta and Cassian to be Nyx's god parents

Nesta: That is great news! Nyx! When something horrible happens, you'll be all mine!

Rhysand: It really is an 'if' situation

Nesta, taking Nyx: All mine!

[ladydeatharcheron]

The fact that executing Nesta was even a debate in hofas…

Inner circle, they could never make me like you.

[silverflameataraxia]

I know I'm being delusional, but I would like to believe that Az didn't stop Ember because he wanted someone to stick up for Nesta. I just wish it was him or Cassian, but I like to believe that Az was Team Ember and Team Handing Rhysand His Ass.

[midnightbluhm]

A Nesta Drawing! I’ve been thinking about that bonus chapter in the last crescent city book and how much she seems to still be misunderstood and mistreated by those around her!!! I feel like there are still some dynamic shifts that need to happen with Nesta and the Inner circle in the upcoming books….

High Lord and High Lady of the Dusk Court

@nessianweek Day Six — Legends and Destiny

“You said you had an eight-pointed star tattooed on you,” Bryce explained. “And you found the chamber with the eight-pointed star in the Prison, too.”

Nesta lifted her head. “So?”

“So I want you to take the Starsword.” Bryce held the blade between them. “Gwydion—whatever you call it here. The age of the Starborn is over on Midgard. It ends with me.”

“I don’t understand.” But Bryce began backing toward the portal, taking Hunt’s hand, and smiled again at the female, at her mate, at their world, as the Northern Rift began to close.

“I think that eight-pointed star was tattooed on you for a reason. Take that sword and go figure out why.” — HOFAS

My biggest theory is that Nesta and Cassian will help to revive the Dusk Court and the land—and the Mother—will choose them to rule as High Lord and High Lady.

I want to thank @lulybot-blog for this incredible artwork that depicts that scene so well! I am so in awe of this piece and of your talent!
