@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.

Have y’all notice that in canon, everyone who meets Nesta that isn’t tied to the IC likes her? Just me?

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….

Bryce Quinlan ✨️

[jupiterisastarr]

“He laughed softly, a sound of wonder at odds with the crystal throne room and the monsters in it. ‘I love you. I wish I'd said it more. But I love you, Quinlan, and...’

His throat closed up, his eyes stinging. His lips brushed her brow. ‘Our love is stronger than time, greater than any distance. Our love spans across stars and worlds. I will find you again. I promise.’”

House of flame and shadow is finally out!!!

Based on “The Other Side” by Dean Cornwell (1892-1960)

Rhysand in HOFAS

(Slight HOFAS spoilers; read at own risk)

Rhysand: I’m not just going to read Bryce’s mind without permission. That would be rude.

Amren:

Amren:

Amren: When did you find the time to take a fucking daemati ethics class without me noticing, Rhysand?

[rainingriversofyou]

There was only one thing that Bryce Quinlan would describe her as: “A warrior.”

 @nestaarcheronweek | Day 07: Free Day

“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, Chapter 100.

In one of her past interviews, Sarah J. Maas commented Nesta's journey was just beginning after Silver Flames, and after reading House of Flame & Shadow I believe part of her journey will be linked to the Dusk Court, as not only did Nesta bargaining mark has an eight-pointed star form (which is associated with the Starborns and thus the Dusk Court), as now she is the Gwydion owner. And as much as Nesta power is usually linked to death, its also showed capable of bringing life (as we have seen with the House of the Wind and Feyre & Nyx). I also found it particularly curious that Pegasus started appearing in Avallen once the land was healed, since Pegasus seem to have an association with the Valkyries.

Thank you @/paolapieretti.art for creating this stunning art!
