Nessian Headcanon

Cassian is a bundle of nervous energy in the days leading up to the birth of his and Nesta’s baby. Like physically jittery, hot to the touch, eyes practically glowing, not quite fae. Nesta simply sits in the corner of the room, eyeing him, then getting back to her reading. After several hours of Cas literally just pacing back and forth, anxiously pulling his hair, she finally screams “cassian I swear on the cauldron, if our baby is born and the first thing they see is their father impersonating a fucking radioactive bouncy ball I’ll kill you.”

[danikamariewrites]

Soooo, I hope that this is alright to request. I can't really pick between a ship for this b/c I love them and how you write them so much. So, if you don't mind, could you write about the reactions of Feysand, Rowaelin, and Nessian + Azriel (...Nesriel?? IDK) to reader getting poisoned by an enemy (reader lives, but is left feeling very, very weak and ill)?? If you just want to do one or two that's fine... I was just curious to see how some of them might react :).

Cured By You headcanons

Feysand x reader, Rowaelin x reader, & Nezriel x reader

A/n: I would not be able to pick between them in general and I love these ships and so happy you do too anon

Warnings: poison, over bearing mates

Feysand

It happened while visiting the court of nightmares

You felt like an idiot, you always check your drinks or have Azriel’s shadows check

When you wake up 2 days later you were more embarrassed than anything. Especially passing out in the middle of the Court of Nightmares, like what a rookie move

Cassian and Azriel jump into action as Rhys scoops you to his chest. Feyre unleashes her claws, practically growling in Kier's direction. Rhys grabs her and winnows the three of you home to an awaiting Madja

thankfully you healed quickly. whoever poisned you clearly didn't get their dosage right

you still feel weak and get tired easily during the day for a few weeks

the first thing you see is Rhys and Feyre casually chatting. you watch them for a bit before reaching for Feyre's hand that's casually draped on the bed

they jump at your movement and are overjoyed that you're finally awake

if you thought they were doting and overly fussy about you when you have the sniffles, think again. these two are unbearable!

Rhys carries you everywhere. it was a struggle to convince them to let you out of bed so this was the compromise

the poison had weakend you to the point where lifting your arms was a chore. Feyre had decided to feed you even though most of the time you gave her an I'm-going-to-kill-you look

you considered yourself lucky though. to have mates that take care of you is a blessing

Rowaelin

Furious doesn’t even begin to describe how Rowan and Aelin felt

everything was fine, dinner was going great. this new alliance with a kingdom bordering Wendlyn seemed promising

until you polished off your wine. you turned pale and Rowan immediately scented that something was wrong with you

you passed out, collapsing from your chair. the dining room fell into chaos as soon as Fenrys sniffed your glass and announced you'd been poisoned

the guests were ushered out and taken to another room to be interrogated while Rowan rushes you to your shared bedroom, Yrene following and ready to draw the poison from your system

you woke up two days later with Fleetfoot watching over you, her golden head laying on your stomach. her big brown eyes staring at you. petting Fleetfoot behind the ears she shakes your hand off after having her fill. leaping off the bed the large golden beast sits by the door and begins to howl as loud as she possibly can

the queen and king coming running, almsot breaking down the door

Fleetfoot wags her tail at the sight of Aelin, running back over to sit next to the bed as your mates approach

the pair throw themselves down next to you, squishing you between them carefully. "We were so worried, oh gods." Aelin breathes out as Rowan repeatedly kisses your face

(like Feysand) the two of them don't let you lift a finger. Rowan never gets to do this for Aelin so he babies you to the max

from helping you walk and work out the muscels in your body to feeding and bathing you he does everything for you

Aelin spoild you with attention and treats. you two spend all her free time snuggled up in bed eating junk food

Nesriel

they each have a very different (yet extreme and justified) reaction

Azriel starts threatening people with Nesta, who lets her power rumble through the room, flames cupped in her hands

Cassian is getting you the hell out of there and to Madja

Cass doesn't let go of you for a single second while the healers pulls the poison from your body. he presses kisses to your temple and whispers sweet nothings as you writhe in pain from the poison being extracted

while you sleep for a week they hover over you, watching over you like hawkes

Azriel sleeps sitting up in a chair next to the bed while Nesta sleeps next to you, playing with your hair so you feel soothed in your unconcious state

when you wake up you're startled to find Cassian curled up at the end of the bed like a dog, Azriel in a chair, and Nesta next to you

Az's shadows go haywire next to his ears, alerting him to your conciousness. the shadows rush to alert Cass and Nes who perk up immediately

Nesta sits up, holding your face in her hands, "oh thank gods, you're ok." she coos on the verge of tears

even though you're weak you force your arm to move so you can hold her wrist. "I'm ok," you whisper

you all thought Cassian would be the more doting/crazy one but it turns out to be Nesta

she freaks out every time Az or Cass move you, worried about your comfort levels or if you're in pain. she yells at them if you even wince, "Careful! you're hurting her!" they always give her the same exasperated look as you giggle

when they find out who poisoned you Cassian tells you and stays with you. meanwhile Az lets Nesta tag along to the interrogation

he even let Nesta participate and she did not hold back. making this guy feel the worst pain he has ever endured

D1~Beginnings: "How I Met Your Fathers"

D2~Comfort: "Hold Me Close, Hold Me Tender"

🩸 Nesta has always struggled with more intense cycles than most, and when she became fae it only got worse. Thankfully, her mates Azriel and Cassian are there to take care of her. (Nessriel)

D6~Celebration: "Into the Fire"

🔥 Feyre doesn't listen when Tamlin tells her to stay in her room during Calanmai, and they both wind up in the cave with a very beastly Tamlin to complete the rite. *smut* (Feytamcien/Lufeylin)

D7~Free Day: "Know Your Place"

[nestastits]

Okay so a little headcanon/theory I have is that because the Archeron sisters retain a part of their human dna, they can have babies more easily and quicker than other fae. Which would explain why Feysand got pregnant quickly (other than sjm wanting them to have a baby cause she was pregs at the time 😭).

Now to add to this, I think it’s fairly uncommon for fae to have multiple babies at a time, so if a twin pregnancy happens it’s seen as a gift from the Mother. And because the fae struggle with conception they’ve never had any pregnancy more than one or twins. Never triplets or quadruplets. And twins only happen every so often.

Now, my headcanon is that when Nessian finally decide to have babies they break free of the faes conception “rules”. Lmao the first pregnancy they have triplet girls and when they are told this Nesta passes out in the Prythian equivalent obgyn office and Cassian’s just like: 😝😝. And I say all three are girls because nes+cass embody girl parent vibes. Like Nesta is the mom who wears matching outfits and hairstyles with her girls and Cass is the dad who wears matching tutus when playing “princesses” with his girls and paints his nails the same colors. Anyways, the fae see this as a sign from the mother and throw this huge celebration party much to Nesta’s dismay. She has the house do research on how the hell it’s even possible for the first pregnancy to happen so quickly AND for it to be triplets. No reason is found though.

The Illyrians see it as a sign of evilness and say it’s because Nesta is a witch and now she’ll have her own coven😭. Cassian of course punishes any of his soldiers that say this by making them do flying maneuvers until they literally drop out of the sky.

The birth is awful and long and Nesta just wants to give up towards the end but Cassian shares his power with her and tells her how wonderful she’s doing and how amazed he is of her. The girls all three have wings. I see one of them looking exactly like cass, the other exactly like nes, and the third is the perfect mixture of each.

When it comes time to teach them how to fly, Cassian can’t stand the thought of them potentially getting hurt so he brings in uncle azzy and uncle rhysie to help. Nesta watches from a balcony on the house of wind. Of course the girls are naturals and get the hang of it after like an hour of practice and they take midnight flights every day with their daddy while mama gets some much needed rest.

After like another century Nes+Cass decide their ready for another and to their utter shock they get pregnant with triplet boys this time 😭. And Nesta’s just like: how the fuck has this happened again?!?!? And cass again is just: 😝😝. The girls are fiercely protective of their baby brothers and will start fights over them.

I see Nessian being the couple who names their children after I guess prythians version of Greek gods? Eventually they also decide to adopt some children from Illyria. I also see Nessian as the couple who have their own little army of offspring 😭spread out over centuries of course! But they don’t stop until they have a complete level of the HoW filled with their children lmao.

Enjoy!

[ennawrite]

Thanks for the tag @sonics-atelier (& someone else but i can’t find the post😭)!!

Answer the questions below & tag whoever you want, or make it an open tag!!

Who's your favourite ACOTAR character?

Nesta & Lucien. Tamlin is at the top as well :)

Who's your least favourite character?

Amren. She is not interesting to me at all. I can forgive a lot but I draw the line at boring characters.

Say something nice about your least favourite character.

I think she could be a cool character but SJM hasn’t given us much in regards to the IC, even though they’ve been part of the series since the second book. Maybe she can rectify that in the next few books but I’m losing hope, especially after HOFAS🤷‍♀️

Who's your favourite High Lord? (If you picked one for your fav character, then who's your second fav!)

I absolutely adore Tarquin. I think he has the potential to be a really good HL, especially since the bar is so low😭

Favourite MINOR character?

Probably Jurian, if he counts as a minor character lol. The Bone Carver too, though his death was very anticlimactic for being a DEATH god lmao

Favourite ship? (Crackships included!)

Tamsand, Azris, Targwyn when it comes to crackships. Elucien for real ships!!

Favourite court and why?

I loveee the beach so I love the Summer Court, I feel like it’d be so nice there. I also really like Tarquin & Cresseida and I just know they’d be so fun to party with

Make up a brand new court RIGHT NOW, NO PREP JUST VIBES.

I’m making a court for the girlies, gays & theys. No straight men allowed.

What relationship would you have wanted to see more of in the books?

I wanna see more of Tamlin & Rhys rectifying their past friendship. I would also like to see Lucien/Eris & their mother interacting.

What's your unpopular opinion?

I don’t really LOVE any of the mating pairs we’ve gotten so far, but I’m still a ride or die for Elucien. But also, I loved the idea of feysand & nessian until they actually got together and now I’m doubting SJM’s ability to write a good, healthy romantic relationship. Which is a bit ironic.

What's your favourite headcanon/fan canon?

That Tamlin & Rhys had a brief, violently passionate love affair hundreds of years ago and that’s why there’s so much tension between them (outside of the family murders lol). On the flip side, I also like the idea of Tamlin having a romantic relationship with Rhys’s sister and that she didn’t really, but escaped through the Starlight pool w/ her mother and Tamlin glamoured random heads to look like theirs. That HC gives me peace because it actually utilizes the magical element in these books lmao

If you were swept away to Prythian, what's ONE thing you would want to do?

Oh baby I’m going to all of the Soltice parties. Especially in Spring & Summer. I’m avoiding all the warnings and heading straight to the faerie wine. And then I’m gonna stick realllll close to Tamlin during Calanmai 😏

If you could have ONE faerie ability seen in the books, which would it be?

Ooh probably shapeshifting. I know we haven’t seen too much of it from Tamlin or Feyre (which is a shame) but Lysandra from ToG made it seem so badass. I love it. Also, winnowing sounds amazing.

Again, I’m late to the party so consider this an obligatory tag to YOU if you haven’t done this yet :)

[fimproda]

ACOTAR tag game

Thanks for the tag, @teddyhoneybear 🥰

Answer the questions below & tag whoever you want, or make it an open tag!

Who's your favorite ACOTAR character?

Nesta. If she has one fan, then it's me; if she has no fans, then I'm dead. I'm so, so ashamed that I didn't like her at first, for she has never been the heartless bitch some people in the fandom (and even some characters in the books) made her to be. Silver Flames and, later, House of Flame and Shadow only cemented my love, admiration and respect for her.

Who's your least favorite character?

Amren. Sometimes you just need to slap a bitch in the face.

Say something nice about your least favourite character.

She did sacrifice herself at the end of Wings and Ruin.

Who's your favorite High Lord? (If you picked one for your fav character, then who's your second fav!)

Thesan, my STEM king ❤️

Favorite MINOR character?

I agree with @teddyhoneybear on this one: Nuan, my STEM queen ❤️

Favorite ship? (Crackships included!)

Nessian, always and forever. Elucien and Gwynriel are close seconds.

Favorite court and why?

Day, because I headcanon it as being similar to Ancient Greece/Ancient Rome and, as a born and bred Italian who studied ancient Greek and Latin in high school for five years, I can't help but want to live in such an environment.

Make up a brand new court RIGHT NOW, NO PREP JUST VIBES.

The Future Court, based on the planet Magix from Winx Club. I just love the concept of technomagic so much.

What relationship would you have wanted to see more of in the books?

This will sound weird, but: Eris and his dogs. This, of course, has nothing to do with the fact that I have a dog myself and I find people who care about dogs to be incredibly hot.

What's your unpopular opinion?

Boy, do I have more than one. - Amren should've stayed dead. - Feyre was right in wanting to have a baby so soon. People can, and will, change their minds about anything. - Speaking of babies, Madja is at least partly to blame for the whole pregnancy debacle, and her medical license should be revoked. - Mor has smelled fishy to me ever since the very first moment, and her power of truth is scary as fuck. - Rhysand is a shitty High Lord. Feyre being crowned High Lady with absolutely zero experience is just yet another of Rhys's shitty decisions as a shitty High Lord. - What happened in the Ember and Randall bonus chapter from House of Flame and Shadow is not as controversial as anyone makes it to be. Both Nesta and Rhysand were right and wrong in their actions and decisions in that particular context, and Cassian made the smartest choice by pleading the fifth and not intervening.

What's your favourite headcanon/fan canon?

Everything related to the restoration of the Dusk Court, minus the Elriel implications.

If you were swept away to Prythian, what's ONE thing you would want to do?

Visiting at least three of the Day Court libraries.

If you could have ONE faerie ability seen in the books, which would it be?

Honestly, I would be content with a bit of "domestic" magic, like the one Rhysand displays at times in the books (washing one's body, cleaning one's clothes, make something appear or disappear, et cetera).

ACOTAR Ask Game:

Thank you for tagging @spore-loser :)

Who is your favourite ACOTAR character?

Nesta and Eris. <3

Who is your least favourite character?

Probably Rhysand or Amren.

Say something nice about your least favourite character?

His fashion sense. I’m a black clothes girlie too.

Who is your favourite high lord?

Helion!

Favourite minor character?

Gwyn. And I can’t wait to see more of her.

Favourite ship?

Canon was Nessian until ACOFAS and I really like Vivianne and Kallias & Helion and LoA even tho we don’t have enough content. For fanon is Neris and Gwynriel (even if im still a little mad at him for that extra)

Favourite court?

Day!

Make up a brand new court - No prep, just vibes!

I think it would be nice to have floating court or at least a city. Something like that. I don’t know, I’m not creative 😭

What relationship would you have liked to see more of in the books?

Vivianne and Kallias!

What is your unpopular opinion?

Not unpopular I think but half of the criticism towards Mor is just misogyny. You can criticize her (and trust me there’s a lot of to criticize) without making about Cassian.

What is your favourite headcanon?

Nesta used to sing to her sisters when they were babies. It stopped when the staff realized they weren’t able to put Feyre to bed without hearing Nesta’s voice first.

If you were swept away to Prythian, what’s one thing you would want to do?

Punch Amren.

If you could have one faerie ability seen in the books, what would it be?

Shifting like Tamlin. I would turn into a kitten, never to be been seen again.

tagging @hugevanserrass @yaralulu @sherell-x (sorry if you already made it) and everyone is free to do it :)

👰‍♀️💭

👰‍♀️ what do you think their mating ceremony would look like? I think it'd be fun if they stayed apart before the wedding (and cassian was a big baby about it)

💭 favorite nessian headcanon? Oh God I've forgotten canon give me a moment. Sweetheart is my favorite, and I love every fic author who clings onto it even though it didn't make an appearance in silver flames

You know amidst all the wonderful discussions we have had in our small corner of the acotar community, a thing that has been on my mind since I've first joined and got invested in all of this in back in 2021, is the thing about the Archeron sister's transformation into fae and the aftermath of it. And my deep disappointment that the author like many other things in her books overlooks or only once briefly touchs upon. Like maybe it's partly because I have read admittedly a lot of vampire turning stories on where they have to adjust to their new reality, but realistically I think that all of the sisters shouldn't have accepted their circumstances that quickly. Like, the humans grew up on stories and tales of the fae, the fae still terrorized the humans on the other side of the wall all this time until Book 1 and past that, their fears are absolutely justified (no matter how Miss Maas tries to tell us the opposite, because what the fuck???) and bc of the sisters involvement they get pulled into the mess eventually, Elain and Nesta get kidnapped, their house burned to the ground and imprisoned for hours until they get dragged into a eldritch sentient cauldron and forcibly/painfully turned for an fairy king's test experimentation, for some kind of sick spectacle. And obviously this is deeply scarring. But like they should have had a lot more difficulty in their healing journeys to come to terms with their loss of humanity. From everything they ever knew and were completely uprooted and ripped away from. And now they should be apparently grateful for that? they should just adapt to fae culture like nothing without any problems? and completely enstrange themselves from their human origins and own culture and customs because humans are lesser inferior beings? this is messed up like holy fuck and it makes me very angry.

Like there should have problems/conflict with body dysphoria, culture shock, cultural misunderstandings and difficulty to adapt* (*to faeness and immortality/longevity). Maybe even struggle with how they get perceived by fae for being born as humans, the good bad and ugly. What it truly means to be human, and eventually becoming comfortable with themselves once again and reluctantly reconciling both halfs and finding peace one day. And I mean as the characters are immortal this arc could span over decades and go slow. But SJM wants her cake without eating it, wants her characters to go from point A to Z without putting any effort at all into it. It makes me frustrated because it could have been so compelling and interesting.

Yeah this tirade got very long, but I hope it overall makes sense ~

Hey

Here's sjm eating the nonexistent cake: the sisters get a pinch traumatized but ultimately they should be grateful they can now be fucked (in both ways) for eternity. And adjusting? Don't worry about that there was no real distinction, besides magic, to begin with.

From the perspective of a Nesta fan

While reading this I realised all my ACOSF au snippets and headcanon include Nesta settling and adjusting to her own body and mind years after she leaves the NC.

Because they're short n sweet it's mostly physical from learning how to sleep without hyper-focusing on the sound of the ocean, to making a habit of walking and winnowing.

But can you imagine the mental adjustment? To immortality?? Sorry, but I'd take myself out if you know what I mean. I'm not doing 100 years or 500 years or eternity.

Now the reason this is all waved away is because Sarah Says so.

That's the rule to truly enjoying her books. Listen to what Sarah Says. Even when her own writing contradicts this - that's the fandom rule : Sarah Says.

This was way longer and turned into a Nessian Rant (PART 3 BABY!! WE'RE BACK) so I'll cut that and make it its own post.

[shallyne]

We really think either sisters should be having children soon despite their history of barely being able to take care of themselves ?

Guess I just wish things made more sense with her and this fandom..And part of me understands why it’s easier to be a fan of Gwyn or Emerie because of this I hate to say. They don’t have neglectful do nothing backrounds, they’re easier to make so many theories for because they don’t have a past I can’t respect. Babies and titles for the sisters? Ick..A decade later at best for them to be fit for kids if SJM wanted to be fitting. I wouldn’t become a stan just yet but I can understand Gwyn and Emerie stans outside of some of the bad ones Anti or Pro Nesta Acosf behavior. It’s easier to smile at arts of them or think of them evolving while the sisters I’ll always have a small issue with..If Gwyn became a leader or had a child I’d take it more seriously than I would Elain because she doesn’t have Elains neglectful or lazy history. But SJM and some of fandom clearly don’t care about these things. Nessian arts with them having kids? Unserious as hell when she just got through with bullying her younger sister last week people 🤦‍♀️ Jesus I can see why some Feyre stans left if this is the sister writing we have to witness

"THIS GODDAMN FANDOM 🤬🤬🤬 HOW DARE THEY CREATE HEADCANONS 😡😡😡😡"

[stargirlfeyre]

Nesta stans: Feyre would only get along with Elide because she’s boring and Nesta would be besties with Aelin Manon and Bryce because they both have bad bitch attitudes 🔥

These bitches are so desperate for Nesta to be some sort of badass, sis has barely done a damn thing 😭 Bad bitches aren’t verbally abusive to sweet people. Nesta slut shamed Mor before and Feyre but we think she’ll be fond of Bryce who Cassian might find hot? If she gonna be all for supporting women all of a sudden?

I don’t like this trend of judging acotar characters based on what characters from other series would think of them. Yeah have fun coming up with headcanons for tog/cc x acotar but putting characters down just because someone from another series may not like them just seems kind of silly? When Nesta fans say shit like this I just side eye them because why do you care? You’re that desperate for validation and for people to like your favorite character that you’re now bringing up people part of a whole different book? And not to sound mean but judging by the things I’ve read about the tog characters, they wouldn’t really give a shit about Nesta😭. Hell, they may be the ones to finally give her the tongue lashing she deserves.

I do wonder how they come up with these headcanons though. Her fans think being a bad bitch means being loud and nasty to any and everyone. Nesta is canonly a jealous person and would tear other women down if she feels threatened. She did it to her own baby sister for years. She’s not a “support all women” person. I don’t think Manon is someone she would really get along with. Also with the Cassian thing I can definitely see jealousy if that does happen. Nessian is just a very…strange relationship.

Hi!!!

Santa has come once again (ho ho holy crap how is it already almost Christmas, feels like just yesterday) and he will deliver you the best Nessian fic that he can create.

To get started, a few questions...

One shot or multi chapter?

Canon, Canon-divergent, AU, or something else?

...if you prefer AUs, what are your favourite settings?

Any characters you definitely want in your fic? Definitely don't want? Any other ships you definitely do or don't want?

Happily ever after, or eternal angst (:< ?

Any tropes you're fond of (i.e. hurt/comfort, forced proximity, arranged marriage, etc)?

Would you prefer mostly angst, fluff, or a mix? (I'm not comfortable writing smut, sorry, but I'll write pretty much anything else)

Any headcanons/theories/etc you'd like elaborated on in the fic?

Anything else you can think of?

...and just to get to know you better, what's your current favourite song?

Much love,

Santa

you know that scene in elf where buddy just shrieks santa at the top of his lungs? that's how i feel right now. I'M SO EXCITED!!!!!!!! here's what I have to say:

I will read anything and everything you write and eat it up and leave no crumbs I'm SURE so however long you want to write is fantastic 🥰🥰🥰🥰🥰

I love a canon-divergent (screech especially at mating bond clicking while nesta's human) but I dont always love an acosf rewrite. I LOVE any and all aus but currently my ao3 search history is full of modern ones 🫡 lawyer!nesta and history teacher!cassian is just something that's so personal, ya know?

I believe that you will put the most magical perfect characters into this fic so I leave that judgment to you! just so you know I don't ship gwynriel and I'm iffy on elucien so if you throw in elain and az I humbly request that you leave them single and looking longingly at each other or have them be together (or don't add them in at all do what is best for you Santa!) I love everyone else 🥰

HAPPILY EVER AFTER ALWAYS (lol)

I love a forced proximity and I love an obsessed cassian (lets be so real who doesn't)

I would love some fluff Santa please (🥹) let my babies be in love 🥹🥹🥹🥹

my headcanon is that Cassian's hair routine is 16 steps long but feel free to include that or not let the road lead you

EEEEEEEEEEEKKKKKKKK I'M SO EXCITEDDDDDDD Santa you are already the best and I love you 🥰

my favorite song right now is probably caves by noah kahan but my favorite song ever is next to you by john vincent the iii (it's what I want my life to feel like) <3 what about you! what is your favorite song right now?

so so excited to get to know you, santa !!! Christmas has come early !!
