It feels like nessian isn't a mating bond per se but a curse the cauldron threw at nesta, as by one side she will always be suffering at his side and by other, the fact they are mates kinda unlocked a chain of events that leaded to nesta having to give up the powers she took from the cauldron in order to save her sister.

The Archerons' Mating Bonds are Fake

This isn't about personal preference for or against mating bonds.

The mating bond lore is wishy washy like all her world building but ultimately it's 2 things - a bridge between equals and a magical eugenics programme.

However, especially for Feysand and Nessian, this does work??

1: the mating bond is about the children produced. (Which is why I often call it the Magical Eugenics Programme.)

It's literally called a MATING bond. Mating is sex for the purpose of reproduction. The fae even go into a frenzy to try and make sure the female is impregnated.

And it works in canon because, somehow a relatively normal HL and a normal Illyrian woman had Rhysand who is (allegedly) the Most Powerful.

In fact it is mostly geared towards magical eugenics because the same example is one of a mating bond between two people who didn't love/ weren't right for each other as individuals.

And the Archerons are anomalies.

We're meant to believe that Rhysand ( and Cassian) felt these bonds when his mate was human.

But if an Illyrian baby can kill not just a high Fae but a high Fae as supposedly overpowered as Feyre - a human stands no fucking chance. So how could they be mates??

And let's say you believe that the Archerons aren't anomalies, I'll give you Feyre and Elain but Nesta is quite literally an unnatural entity who should not exist.

And if it was always Feyre's fate to become Fae - then the baby wouldn't have been dangerous or straight up impossible to have without anomalous magic like Nesta's or even Feyre's stolen shapeshifting.

Nessian has the same problem.

2) the mating bond is a mind link between equals. (Equals in what?? Again Rhysand's mom was like an 18 or 19 yo lesser Fae and his dad was a 900yo HL!! So what the fu)

Here Feysand makes more sense if again, you take it that Feyre was always gonna be a overpowered high.

But Nessian???

Again Nesta is a straight up unnatural entity who shouldn't be alive as an Fae or immortal. But she is. And she's one of the most powerful creatures to exist, EVER, so it makes no sense for not only a normal Fae but even a lower Fae to be her mate.

Elain x Lucien is the only pairing that makes sense in any way. Elain is Made, more powerful than most Fae and Lucien is the only Fae we know of who seems to have power of more than 1 court.

Their personalities or power levels don't clash as badly either and ultimately the only thing that might impede them is that Elain might choose to reject bond.

According to sjm's own lore, mating bonds are rare. Feysand's bond could just be a daemati connection, it would make more sense.

Cassian could just like Nesta, but it's basically impossible for him to be her mate or for her to even have one.
