Pushing my Nesquin agenda with the prompt for day 3 of @nestaarcheronweek Self-care

So I hope you all enjoy it

Sweet Sea

Nesta's breath catches in her throat and she clutches harder to the male at her side and she stares with deadly fear she can't do this no way

"Your alright it's alright Nesta breath" Tarquin says one hand coming up to stroke the back of her head the other gently holding her arm

"You've been doing so wonderful and I'm so proud of you Little Pearl" He says gently still stroking her head "I'll be right here holding onto you as usual I promise" Nesta shakes her head a little frantic

"I can't i- I can't" She says her voice almost a whisper as she clings more tightly to him Tarquin wraps his arm around her back and gently pulls her into him

"Oh my darling brave girl I promise I won't let go" he starts"you are so strong and so brave I know you can do It I'll be right here and I won't let anything happen" he promises

Nesta looks out into the pool it would only up to half her chest and her feet would still touch the ground but gods was she terrified

"I won't let you go sweet girl" Tarquin said hands gripping her firmly as if to prove his words true "I swear it on my life I won't let anything bad happen to you" be promised

Nesta took a deep breath and held on tighter to him "Ok" She said voice soft with a hint of determination "Let's go" She looked at Tarquin and he nodded

Slowly they started making their into the water Nesta holding on to Tarquin the deeper they got as promised he didn't let her go

As they got deeper Nesta held unto Tarquin tighter to the point she had to wonder how she hadn't ripped his shirt at all

Once they made it to the deepest part of the pool Nesta had to remind herself to breathe the water was warm this wasn't the cauldron she was alive

Tarquin started pulling away slowly and Nesta panicked gripping his shirt tight and crying out in prue Alarm "No please" She cried

Tarquin Started stroking her hair again gently shushing her 'It's alright lovely it's alright I'm going anywhere" he said "I'm just putting a little space between us so you can look at me but I'm not letting go" He soothed

Nesta took a few deep breaths and took both her hands in his and gently backed away not to much but just enough that should could look up at him without hurting her neck

"Hi" She breathed softly Still taking deep breaths to clam herself he chuckled lightly "Hi Pretty" he said back gently letting go of one of her hands so he could stroke her head lovingly

Nesta Leaned into the soft touch enjoying the way his fingers played the honey- Brown locks They strayed like that for a few minutes before Nesta pulled herself into his chest

"I want out now please" She murmured Tarquin let out a soft laugh at the adorableness his lady displayed "Alright Lovely let's get you out" he said as gently hoisted her up into his arms and Bridal carrying her

Nesta buries her head into his neck and closes her eyes as he makes his way through the palace and towards their bedroom

it doesn't take him long to reach it using his magic he opens the door stepping inside and then closing it with his foot as he makes his way over to the bed

He sets her down gently before summoning an attendant and whispering something to them eyes still closed Nesta listens to the sounds being made around her

Nesta only opens her eyes again when she feels Tarquin pull her into lap and putting her head on chest when her eyes slowly open she takes in her surroundings

Their in the middle of their bed pillows and blankets surround them the balcony doors open letting in the nice summer air and their canop has been tied open

Nesta Has just finished looking around when Tarquin holds a spoon up to her lips

"Here" He says "Eat lovely" Nesta does without hesitation taking the spoon in her mouth

the coolness am flavor of chocolate and strawberries has her delighted immediately Tarquin chuckles and removes the spoon quickly replacing it with another spoonful of ice cream

He keeps feeding her until the bowl has been emptied and then proceeds to wrap his arms around her and lay them both down onto the bed

"I love you my lovely girl" He says pulling a blanket over the two of them "I'm so proud of you and how far you've gotten and I'm so lucky you're mine" He finishes beginning to stroke Nesta's hair

Nesta let's out a sigh of contentment as he gently messages her scalp She feels so loved and cherished and she knows as long as they both live he won't let her forget that feeling

That's all folks hope you liked it

God I need more content for Nesquin they are so cute and I just love them anyway as always please forgive any spelling mistakes

@flowerflamestars THEY ONLY HAVE GIRLS?!????!

Im weeping!

What do you want from me? You want me to cry all of Christmas weekend??? IS THAT WHAT YOU WANT?! I am in the Starbucks parking lot CRYING over these little girls who ABSOLUTELY at least once do that cute little sneeze thing when sprinkled with pearl dust, how dare you!

Shoreless sea snippet

“He,” Nesta sighed, exhale a force as Tarquin’s gentle, immovable hand dug into her aching back, “Will be born in the Summer sea, or not at all.”   “It’s a girl.”   Tarquin believed it- insisted it regularly, mouth pressed to the column of her throat, like the trail of accompanying kisses could hide for even a second the sheer size of his grin. A daughter, with some variable shade of blue eyes, just old enough to chase after Lucien’s Alyssar.   A daughter, who’d look like Nesta.   A daughter, born of drowning depths, a watery little tyrant already, wrecking Nesta’s body with magic not her own.   A twist, to catch his gaze, to nip the line of that perfect jaw, whole face fixed in deep, true joy.   “I refuse to believe any daughter of mine would make me this miserable.”   Tarquin laughed. “Smart enough,” he kissed the jut of her cheek, leaning close, “To know better.”

Don’t mind me, just continuing my stroll down crackship lane.

Ok I’m like 1000000% sure I did this for my first thanksvember but FUCK IT. I remembered the pearl dust thing @flowerflamestars and I have FEELINGS again! When I tell you that this really just started out as some shitposting and @flowerflamestars had to turn it into a whole ass thing that I longed for? Absolutely rude. There was no reason for them to take it this far! Anyways, this is a Tarquin x Nesta crackship that ended up making waaaay too much sense. I absolutely loved it because it lets Nesta be with someone who let her be her most feral self, but loved her as deeply as the depths she feared. PLUS we got BFF Helion which is my favorite Helion. When I tell you that this fic actually gave me a biting kink- aaaanyways. This fic lets Nesta experience tenderness from a male that would have her for who she is, and give her a 1000th reason not to go back to the night court. In this universe Nesta is the librarian of the Dah courts library and she quite literally takes reading (and fucking) on the beach VERY seriously. I love that aspect because it allows Nesta to do what she loves in this narrative but also explores how that role would have her interact with other courts. Something that being an emissary never showed us (even though that is literally her job🙄). Moving on! One of my favorite parts of this fic (other wise than the pearl dust scene….I’m biased ok) was when Nesta and Tarquin talk about courting. I love how much of Tarquin’s past and understanding of healthy relationships is put into this. It’s tender and funny and just very sweet to read. There is nothing burdensome about the endeavor, and he places no needs or primal urges on her to care for. He simply wants her to be herself, just with him. And honestly that’s what made this fic so tender to me. Ok, now that I have thoroughly ruined this fic, go read it, or don’t. Lord knows I read this fic enough that flowers could put out a restraining order on me for it. But seriously, go read it! The crack ship is worth it! Thanks to @flowerflamestars once again for sharing 🖤🖤.

P.s. (the dinluke fic is next and I will go apeshit about it flowers….you are NOT ready)

THANK YOU FOR THE NERIS ART ✋😫🙏🙏🙏💖💖💖

I live to serve. 🙃

Should I do a series of Nesta crackships? Nesquin’s siren song calls.

[ncssian]

neris this nesquin that i will always be nescien

[visenlya]

As to our conversation, I can get behind that ACOTAR Feyre and Tamlin's dynamic seems to be better than say ACOSF Feysand by miles. I'm a pretty big shipper of Neris and Nesquin myself (anyone but Cassian please).

But yeah, I have a big grudge against SJM's depiction of Soul Mate bonds. They feel.. very forced and just wrong. Both canon Feysand and Nessian have a bad dynamic, and the mate craze is very.. ew. I'm leaning on the asexual side heavily so it's a nightmare for me affdghjfgcvhh I just want meaningful characters interactions! at least some character development. The wrong book series I suppose, because we sure aren't getting that from S//JM as author.

But honestly, two characters getting to know each other, slowly befriending each other and building a strong friendship and then falling in love along the way as the cherry on top will always be better in my opinion than having two characters get "mated" (ugh) and having this shadow hanging over their relationship to one another. That well, the stars have aligned and fate has decided that they're now essentially in a arranged marriage neither of the two parties can ever get out of really. And that the other partner might otherwise not even given a single care about their partner if they didn't happen to be bound to each other. The mating bond has so many fucked up implications as well (like that they're paired with whom they make the strongest offspring and bla bla) and as much as I love both Lucien and Elain as inviduals, it turns me away from shipping them in a romantic manner. He would be a far better love interest than Rice and and Cassian combined, but unfortunately.. mhm no. A au concept: Where Elain and Lucien aren't mates, even after getting turned fae. Where bonds are as rare as S//JM once claimed they are and neither Elain nor Nesta are mated to anyone. And where they don't have the pressure on them to get together with Lucien or Cassian. Maybe Elain could leave the NC and join the BoE and go on Journeys with them (maybe falling in love along the way with Lucien, that would be more wholesome). And Nesta could do whatever she wanted. I can dream ahaha :')

I agree with everything you’ve said. honestly rhysand made me sick in the first book, and then i was kinda into him for the rest of the trilogy and that was only bc of sarah’s manipulative and inconsistent writing, she made tamlin into a complete monster in order to make rhysand seems like the best option at the moment. when i reread the trilogy once i get a bit older, i realised that both of them are just as bad as each other, rhysand is even worse in my humble opinion bc he’s much more subtle and insidious. anyway i will forever pity feyre bc now this girl is completely locked in an even more abusive and toxic codependent relationship with no way out bc she doesn’t even realise she needs to get out, she completely bought into the rhysand’s cult of personality. regarding the mating bond, yeh it’s horrid i hate it. the entirety of feysand’s relationship is carried by “sexual attraction” and sex craze caused by the bond and it just doesn’t work for me compared to what she had going on in the first book, i was not sold by feyre and rhysand’s relationship. and yup i also wish nesta, elain and lucien hook up with the band of exiles, they sound so cool, and it would’ve been so nice if elain and lucien could’ve fallen in love without the mate bond. i think nesta should just marry into Fae royalty but on another continent, away from the inner circle, and then years later the inner circle has to go to her country on a diplomatic mission and they’d all have to bow to her to show respect! I have a headcanon about the mate bond actually: that the mating bond is actually pretty common and the magic helps bond fae together to help with conception. fae that copulate outside of the bond has less chance of conceiving, while mates find it easier to conceive, that’s why high faes hold the mate bonds sacred bc it helps get around the rare fae pregnancy thing. like with the way sarah is going, everyone and their mothers are getting mates. she should just change the mating bond into something that actually makes sense lore wise.
