This song for this painting for them😭👏

@nessianweek | Day 03: Symphony

Baby, there's something tragic about you

Something so magic about you

Don't you agree?

Baby, there's something lonesome about you

Something so wholesome about you

Get closer to me

- From Eden, by Hozier

Nesta and Cassian enjoying a relaxed moment with music, laughter and dancing while they listen Symphonia and get ready for a night out. 

Thank you @/pablochmn for this amazing piece of art! It was a pleasure working with you!

My lovely friend @melphss and I were able to commission with insanely lovely art by @jjflorentina

The artist did such an incredible job showing Elain and Lucien in a sweet embrace.

@melphss thought this quote from Elain in ACOWAR reminded her of a quote from Jane Eyre so I attached both of them. I thought it was a lovely correlation.

Elain: “It felt.. strange, like you pulled on a thread tied to a rib?”

Jane Eyre: “I have a strange feeling with regard to you. As if I had a string somewhere under my left ribs, tightly knotted to a similar string in you. And if you were to leave I'm afraid that cord of communion would snap. And I have a notion that I'd take to bleeding inwardly. As for you, you'd forget me.”

Helion, High Lord of Day. 🌞

I was always suspicious if he was, in fact, Sellyn Drake. I'VE FIGURED IT OUT.

Sellyn Drake = Sellin' D(ay) rake.

C'mon, it can't be a coincidence?! 😂

Happy final day of @nessianweek from myself and @melphss 🩵 We agreed that if there's one thing that Nesta and Cassian deserve after the events of canon, it's a nice honeymoon! A relaxing vacation where they can be soft and happy and in love and mated 🥺

They stroll through the streets of the Day Court, and Nesta makes them stop at every book store, but Cassian doesn't mind because he loves the way she smiles and her blue eyes spark when a particularly good book grabs her attention. He then buys out the whole store just for her like the simp he is

A very big thank you to @/lamonyo for working with us to bring this scene to life and create this breathtaking art! 😍

“The first time I saw that look on your face, you were still human. Still human, and I nearly went to my knees before you.” His breath caressed the shell of her ear and she couldn’t stop her eyes from fluttering shut. His smile brushed against her temple. “Your power is a song, and one I’ve waited a very, very long time to hear, Nesta.” - A Court of Silver Flames, Chapter 15

Rai and I planned an illustration in which Nesta and Cassian were causing the kind of havoc that Feyre imagined they would wreak together when they decided to stop fighting among themselves.

L��o, once again, did an incredible job that left us in awe from start to finish.

Just under 8 weeks until Valkyrie Appreciation Week

Last week’s post highlighted their friendship bond, but this week it’s back to business, badass warrior style. What kind of role do you think the Valkyries will play in future ACOTAR books? Fighting against Koschei or some other evil? Going off to other courts and recruiting new members? Something completely different? Here are our ladies decked out in full battle armor, complete with winged helmets. This art by @_inkye was commissioned by @melphss and by @lib-arts

✷ Announcing Nessian Week 2024! ✷

❤️‍🔥 Join us in celebrating Prythian's hottest couple for the fourth year in a row! ❤️‍🔥

Come celebrate Nesta and Cassian with us from September 15 through September 22, 2024! Feel free to participate in any way you can, from headcanons, fanart, moodboards, playlists, fics, drabbles…. no matter how big or small, anything celebrating Nessian is welcome! Please note this event will be happening on Tumblr, AO3, and Instagram only.

Please tag @nessianweek and use the tag #nessianweek2024 to spread the word! If you're posting on Instagram, please tag @/nessianweek2024!

You can find Nessian Week 2023's masterlist here, Nessian Week 2022's masterlist here, and Nessian Week 2021's masterlist here!

This year's prompts are as follows:

Day One: Banter ✷ One of our favorite things about Nesta and Cassian's relationship is their banter. They're always ready to go back and forth with one another, and we're always ready to see it. Show us your favorite Nessian banter, or come up with your own!

Day Two: Yearning ✷ Nesta and Cassian didn't immediately act on their feelings for one another, despite how badly we wanted them to. How do you see them handling all that longing?

Day Three: Symphony ✷ Music has played such an important role in Nesta and Cassian's relationship. What does that mean to you?

Day Four: Alternate Universe ✷ What do you think Nesta and Cassian's lives would look like outside of canon? How would they live in the modern world, a completely different fantasy world, or within the plot of your favorite book or movie? [Non-Canon AUs requested]

Day Five: Behind Closed Doors ✷ Nesta and Cassian's relationship when they're alone can be very different from what they show the world. How do you see them behaving behind closed doors?

Day Six: Legends & Destiny ✷ As Lady Death and the Lord of Bloodshed, Nesta and Cassian were destined for one another. What does their predestined love mean to you? How do you portray Lady Death and her Lord of Bloodshed?

Day Seven: Free Day ✷ Any topic of your choosing!

We look forward to seeing everything that you create for this event, and make sure to tag @nessianweek once the event starts!

Announcing Cassian Week 2024!

Join us in celebrating our favorite bat boy from July 22 through 28, 2024!

And if you plan to post on Instagram, make sure to follow us and collab with us on the post!

This year’s prompts are as follows:

Day One: Flying ⚔︎ Cassian feels most at peace when he takes to the skies. How do you see him showing off or sharing his love of flying?

Day Three: Family ⚔︎ Amongst the Illyrians, within the Inner Circle, with Nesta, and even with potential future children, we can all agree that Cassian loves his family! How do you see him showing that love?

Day Six: Birthday ⚔︎ Although we don’t know Cassian’s official birthday, we know how much Fire Sign Energy he gives off. How do you see Cassian celebrating his birthday and channeling his inner Leo?

@nessianweek | Day 05: Behind Closed Doors

Sarah J Maas was once asked during an interview, “What would be the perfect modern-day dates for the ACOMAF couples?”

Sarah said that, “Nesta and Cassian would go to a private island or the Maldives where they would have some quality time alone” 😉☺️

@/kotikomori nailed this perfectly, and showed the sweetness of their mate bond. Thank you @/kotikomori for this devastatingly beautiful artwork of Nesta and Cassian!

“A broad-shouldered, stocky male whom Nesta vaguely recognized sauntered their way, flanked two deep by younger males. They all had their wings tucked in tight, perhaps to walk as a unit, but as they stopped in front of Cassian, those wings spread slightly. [...]

The familiar male’s gaze snagged on her. ‘What’s her business here?’

Nesta gave him a secretive smile. ‘Witchcraft.’

She could have sworn Cassian muttered a plea to the Mother before he cut in, ‘I will remind you, Devlon, that Nesta Archeron is our High Lady’s sister, and will be treated with respect.’ The words held enough of a bite that even Nesta glanced at Cassian’s stone-cold face. She had not heard that unyielding tone since the war. ‘She will be training here.’

Nesta wanted nothing more than to shove him off the nearby cliff edge.

Devlon’s face curdled. ‘Any weapons she touches must be buried afterward. Leave them in a pile.’

Nesta blinked.

Cassian’s nostrils flared. ‘We will do no such thing.’

Devlon sniffed at her, his cronies snickering. ‘Are you bleeding, witch? If you are, you will not be allowed to touch the weapons at all.’

Nesta made herself pause. Contemplate the best way to knock the bastard down a few pegs.” – A Court of Silver Flames, Chapter 5

For today Rai and I commissioned this art of one of our favorite scenes from Acosf. In our hearts, Nesta is a witch (affectionately). Once again it was a pleasure to work with the super talented Heitor.

“But mostly I hate the way I don’t hate you. Not even close, not even a little bit, not even at all.” — Kat Stratford, ‘10 Things I Hate About You’

Nesta and Cassian as Kat and Patrick! There has never been a more perfect fit for an alternative universe for these two but this film.

@tamdrry As per usual, did an incredible job! I adore your style and I cannot wait for our next projects together!
