WIP Wednesday: TTBW Ch 3

Hello loves!

For your midweek snack I have a snippet of "Take These Broken Wings" Chapter 3.

Not caught up on the fic yet? Read the first two chapters here on AO3!

"A Dark Black Night" is scheduled to post this weekend barring major complications. Keep reading under the cut for your tasty little snack!

After a moment’s hesitation, Nesta placed a hand on Azriel’s shoulder. “I’m here for you too, Az. You are not alone. I know your history. You know ours. I’m not sorry about a single thing the three of us have done, separately or together. And I won’t let anything they say make me regret it. Keep that in mind for me, won’t you?” Time seemed to stand still as Azriel stepped forward and embraced Nesta, their emotions eddying around them in an almost visible flurry. His arms wrapped tightly around her as he buried his face in her pale blue Illyrian wool dress. She wore the same armor adornments over the fabric as she’d done that night. Nesta wasn’t shying away, not from a single thing. So why should Azriel? He held her tight as his shadows began to swirl around them both, cocooning them in darkness and muffling any words they might say. Azriel pulled back just enough to speak. “He’s truly okay?” Nesta let out a little exasperated laugh, her face falling from her proud mask into worry. “Not even a little bit. But he’s ready for today, and that’s all we can ask for right now.” She looked up at Azriel with tender concern before asking, “are you?”

Stay tuned to find out if Cassian, Nesta, and Azriel can get through this day.

An untrained eye might not have noticed, but Nesta could read every flex of every muscle in her mate’s body. He was not okay.

From Chapter 3 of "Take These Broken Wings", currently in final edits.

When you see this post, add one sentence to your current WIP.

(I need to work on my thesis, so I’ll add a sentence per note as long as that’s sustainable. We can do this together 🧡🧡)
