#Valkyries

The Valkyries enjoy Mardi Gras!

Emerie is drinking a hurricane, while Gwyn feeds her king cake. Nesta has a moon pie and is excited for all the live music!

Yes, Nesta wore her mask. They used it to get thru the crowds safely and get the best throws from the parades. Nobody got hurt and hangovers were minimal.

What if, when looking in the mirror of erised, Remus didn’t see the marauders, skittles, valkyries and others young and happy as he’d expected, but old and happy.

Old men and women, so wrinkled and ugly that he didn’t recognize them at first.

Old men and women who’d lived out a full and happy life, with children for some, and sweet memories for all of them.

Some married, others made blood oaths to forever be together, others just were content living with those they loved.

But all together.

Not dead.

Not dead.

And he breaks down crying.

Forget the growing Valkyrie/Illyrian conflict. I need to see some Valkyrie/IC conflict next book.

Rhysand's treatment of Nesta was so horrendous that it triggered memories of Ember's abuse at the hands of the Autumn King. And it was so awful that Ember stood up for Nesta and defended her from Rhysand. Keep in mind that Nesta was a social pariah at that point in time and Ember didn't know if she would be punished or executed, but she chose to stick up for Nesta anyways because Rhysand's treatment of Nesta was so triggering for Ember. Even after that, Ember asked if there was anything else she could do to take some of the blame off of Nesta.

Nesta can't continue to summarize her mistreatment as her getting into a fight with her family and disappearing for a week with Cassian. At some point Gwyn and Emerie are going to see Rhysand's treatment of Nesta for themselves and they're going to find out how often he threatens to kill her, and they're not going to be too happy about it. I'm sure it's going to trigger some memories for them, too (especially Emerie). And when they find out Nesta's not even safe around her own mate, who does absolutely nothing to protect her from Rhysand? I don't see any narrative where they don't call out Cassian, Rhys, and the IC for their BS.

I need Nessian to go the route of Elorcan in KoA. I need the Valks to, at least somewhat, turn against Cassian like the MC's turned against Lorcan in ToG. I need 600 pages of not knowing whether or not Nessian is going to be endgame. I need Nesta to consider rejecting the mating bond, and Cassian having to come to terms with how badly he failed her for her to seriously consider it. I need 600 pages of him groveling and worshipping the very ground she walks on. I need to hear Cassian say "I love you" to Nesta, as well as him having entire monologues where he just can't stop listing all the reasons he loves her. I need him to trust her and her decisions. I need 600 pages of him finally behaving like a mated male.

I need the Valkyries to help him understand that the IC is the biggest threat to Nesta. I need him and the Valks to shut down any insults the IC hurl Nesta's way. I need them to stick up for her, and defend and protect her. I need to see Cassian protect Nesta from Rhysand. I need to see him prioritize Nesta and her feelings. I need to see him treat her like the princess she is. I need him to romanticize the avid romance reader. I need him to cherish Nesta's heart, rather than rip it to shreds in his temper tantrums.

I need 600 pages of Cassian finally choosing Nesta over the IC.

Nesta Archeron inspired by the classical painting "Valkyries Vigil" by Robert Edward Hughes ...... when I saw this classical painting all I could imagine was Nesta ... someone who has no interest in violence but who has been handed this massive power that invariably causes Violence .... her sitting in HOW overlooking Velaris torn between her need to protect the people she loves and the peace she craves ....

@jrt _ .... Jess I cannot thank you enough for taking up this commission for me , I am in love with this and it is easily my favourite Nesta commission 💖. I can't wait to work with you in the future as well.

@melphss .... This is my holiday gift to you, my friend... here is me wishing you the most blessed year in 2025 🤗🤗

The origin for the inspiration- Valkyries Vigil

My first ever commission of my most favorite ladies! Happy Valkyrie Appreciation Week! 🩵💙💜

Thank you @valkyrieappreciationweek for hosting this amazing event for my favorite SJM friendship group!! I’m so glad I got to participate.

I am obsessed with how these portraits turned out. @ghosted_ivy brought all three of them to life even better than I could have imagined.

I like to imagine Nesta celebrating her birthday with those she feels overwhelmed with happiness to be with. And as they are the first to completely accept the way she is, I love imagining that Gwyneth and Emerie, the chosen family, would also be celebrating with Nesta, first thing in the morning.
