Nesta faked -faked- everything with Eris.

Oh with Cassian, he softened her heart, he made her smile♥️

Cassian and Nesta Dance Scene. I was literally on. my. knees. they are Mommy and Daddy I love them so fucking much and I will never shut up about them

LITERALLY SCREAMINGGGGGG LOOK AT THEM!!!!

[thefatesofspring]

One thing that unhinges me most about Cassian is that there was more than one occasion where he is barely able to restrain himself from physically hurting Nesta, like I’m talking if he didn’t walk or fly away when he did this male would have physically abused her & that is something I can not understand why it’s not talked about enough.

[ladydeath-vanserra]

YIKES

[delaneytveit]

THE WAY THAT FEYRE THINKS ABOUT CLARE AS FAR AS ACOWAR AND SHE STILL DOESNT SAY ANYTHING?????

like it literally got brought up at the HL meeting and nesta was right fucking there but feyre just shut it down???

i’ve been thinking pretty much all day about nesta trying to cross the wall to find feyre . that’s CRAZY!!!! that’s a positively wild thing to write in your book and then immediately turn around and forget about a few books later. she was willing to risk death (OR WORSE?) at the hands of what she believed to be super-predators to save her sister. hello? HELLO?

[fenrysmoonbeamswife]

"As if he'd had it waiting a long, long while" lives rent free in my head and people do not talk about it enough

SJM keeps sprinkling in these little sentences that just scream Rhysand is the bad guy and she knows it but I don't know if she's that evolved

It's also funny how they're trying to tell Nesta she can't spend "their" money while at the same time Amren is trying to say that Nesta being human emissary means that she works for them. She hasn't been paid for that job so way to contradict yourself you absolute pleb

"You have no problem spending money that we owe you but also we don't owe you anything but also we own you because you work for us" yup makes sense

They are truly amazing rulers. God forbid Nesta spend the money, you know the fortune they have so much of they don't know what to do with it, the money that she is owed, in the community and boost the economy. No, we can't have that. But when they tear down peoples houses because they want to control one person, make an entire court refugees but don't actually house any of them, and build their fourth, sorry, excuse me, their fifth mansion, that's just cutesy ruler things🥺🥺

And the fact that Cassian just said absolutely nothing when he knew Amren was lying? And acted as if Nesta was the problem? You will never convince me he's a good person. He took full advantage of that lie for his own gain because he wanted to get some because he's pathetic and he can't get it anywhere else outside of a manky back alley or *checks notes* his sister🫶🏻🥺

I haven't posted a WIP Wednesday in way too long. Mostly because the writing block is kicking my ass thoroughly. BUT! I thought I'd give y'all a little treat of Hockey Cassian being a down bad simp and some hockey romance accuracy! 🥰

“You want me to go to a hockey game?”

“How can I be expected to play my best if you’re not there to cheer me on?” Cassian drawls, earning an eye roll and a scoff, exactly as he intended.

“Are you going to ask me to wear your away jersey and everything?” Nesta fires back, a smirk tugging up the corner of her lips.

The sight has Cassian’s heart kicking up with excitement, and he chuckles softly. “Been reading a lot of hockey romance novels recently, sweetheart?”

“You wish.”

Despite her words, the pink color that spills across her cheeks betrays her, gives her away. Gods, Cassian would give anything to draw out that pretty color elsewhere. Would give anything to trace that color with his fingers, his lips. Would give anything to see if the pale freckles brought out by that blush are echoed anywhere else across her skin.

“Well, I hate to burst your bubble, but you can’t wear my away jersey even if you want to.”

That gets her attention. “What’s that supposed to mean?”

“It means that I don’t have my away jersey. In fact, I don’t have any of my equipment. It’s the team that makes sure the jerseys get washed, that makes sure all the gear stays cleaned, that our preferred sticks are ordered and stocked up. There’s a whole equipment team that’s hired and paid just to do that.”

“So, what?” Nesta asks dryly, crossing her arms. “All you do is just show up?”

“Pretty much. Show up, look pretty, play great hockey.”

Nesta snorts softly, barely more than a low, breathy sound, but Cassian still delights in it all the same. It’s so close to a laugh. Gods, he'd do unholy things to get a laugh out of her, a real laugh. Would it be light and melodic? Would it be low and refreshing? Would it start loud and taper off into little more than breathy giggles? Would her nose scrunch? Would crinkles pop beside her eyes? Would those eyes flare with the joy, the surprise at a laugh tearing out of her? Would the easy serenity remain on her expression when the laugh finally subsided, a soft smile and pink cheeks the footprints in the sand following the warm, gentle wave?

“Cassian.”

“What?” Cassian blinks, realizing belatedly that Nesta was speaking and he most definitely was not listening.

[ghosttownheart]

“She told her because she cared about her-“

She literally had access to Prythian’s equivalent of the Library of Alexandria and didn’t bother helping look for answers at all…

Scarlett dragna would ruin her ngl

how anyone is still justifying how nesta told feyre about the pregnancy is beyond me. the whole “well at least she told her, no one else did”

1) rhys was going to. as soon as he a) found out what was wrong / how to fix it or b) found out there was nothing they could do to fix it. because there’s no point stressing her out and possibly miscarrying or going into labor early if there was a way to fix it.

and 2) nesta also agrees to keep it a secret !! she agrees with their reasoning even though she hates everyone at this point (including herself). she’s like yeah that makes sense no point stressing her out unless there’s reason to.

nesta only says it out of anger and nastiness, she literally admits this herself. and she REGRETS DOING IT. why are yall trying to say it’s okay when nesta herself doesn’t think it’s okay

yes. feyre deserved to know, but even the medical professional that they trust, the one who has healed them all countless times told rhys not to tell her until they figured it out. why are yall mad at a man who listened to a doctor, hated not telling her, and was doing everything he could to try to fix it? i don’t get it

Hopefully this is the last wip Wednesday I'll ever do on this fic, despite how hard it will be to let go. From Chapter 4 of The Knight and His Witch! And this is brought to you by: me forcing myself to finish a fic before I start a new one

Ruby pushed her nose into her hands, looking for treats. “She likes me better,” Nesta said.

“She does not.” Cassian ducked under her neck, fixing the saddle on the other side. “Speaking of pets, what’s Bryaxis going to do while we’re gone?”!

“Oh, I don’t feed him,” Nesta said. “There’s nothing I can catch that he’d be that interested in, anyway.”

Cassian visibly shuddered, looking up from where he tightened one of the leather straps. “Your cat freaks me out.”

“Again, not a cat.”

“Yes. He’s made that perfectly clear, thanks.”

She chuckled. “He likes you, at least. If he didn’t, he would’ve torn you up ages ago.”

“Reassuring.” Cassian stepped back, patting Ruby’s neck as he joined her. “I’m not going to ask how you came into the possession of a beast that takes the form of a common house cat, because I have a feeling it’s a long story.” He kissed her cheek. “And one that you’ll tell me eventually.”

She thought of the story—of how she’d tracked down the beast in the darkest parts of the forest. Offered him the hearts of the cowardly men who trespassed and overstayed their welcome, and a warm roof over his head, in exchange for the protection that came with his fangs and claws.

A symbiotic relationship, if she had to put a word to it.

“You would be right.”

It was a shame that Nesta never let him near her. He'd already thought of nesting material he wanted to gift her. Touchably soft blankets, thick throws, billowy pillows in the pale blue of her eyes. Nesta's favorite color.

His favorite color too.

And maybe he'd throw some bronze in there too, just to remind her of his skin--that her pale thighs would look angelic against gold. Like a painting. Her panting and her wanton looks. Her eager lips. Her desire plain on her face.

But Cassian stopped before he got too ahead of himself. He gulped down all thoughts of Nesta Archeron. For she wanted nothing to do with him at all.

Instead, she was in a ratty apartment across town. No nest in sight.

[ladydeath-vanserra]

I remember reading a snippet of Azriel hugging Nesta in that new CC book and are we really telling me he has comforted Nesta more than her own mate has in five (5) books?

[emmitaaa4]

Elain.

and while people tend to hate on her for it, I say oh how i love cunningly imperfect characters that use others' perception & expectations of them against the system that breeds said expectations.

[silverflameataraxia]

I hate how Nesta was punished and beaten down so badly that she finally broke down, and then the IC molded her into the cookie-cutter version of Nesta that they approved of... and they still treat her like garbage.

[fenrysmoonbeamswife]

I can't even describe how much hatred I have for soft fanart of Feysand or Nessian, especially Nessian

Feysand fanart is just annoying because of his ugly mug but to be fair to him at least Rhysand is soft and caring with Feyre, even if he is an abusive pos. But soft fanart of Nessian fills me with boiling rage every time

It just reminds me how he has never, not once, been soft with her. He is never caring towards her or gentle, never loving or kind. He is always either nasty to her or sexualizing her, or he straight up ignores her and then villainizes her

And the worst part is that people have actually convinced themselves it's canon, that their relationship is actually like that in the books. They have not had a single moment that was even close to soft that wasn't entirely selfish on his part. He has said himself he sees her as an animal, he refers to her as an animal multiple times. He has agreed that she belongs in Hewn City, his inner thoughts about her are either misogynistic and filled with so much hatred or they're aggressively sexual. Their nicer moments are all about him and his ego, never her, never love

This man does not care about her, he doesn't even like her nevermind love. He doesn't caress her, he doesn't cuddle her or read her books or lie with her as she reads. He isn't gentle with her, he doesn't tuck her hair behind her ear, he isn't intimate with her outside of sex. He doesn't hold her outside of possession. They don't cook together, they don't go shopping together, they don't laugh together. They don't share small, gentle smiles. They don't share secret looks

He sees her as a vicious animal that needs breaking. And he did it, he broke her and even that wasn't good enough. HOFAS should have been them in "mated bliss" if they were as solid and in love as people like to claim

Headcanons are nice but let's not delude ourselves here

A Court Of Thorns and Roses - Reading Daydreams including one without windows

[falsemneme]

Feyre rubbed her face again. "I don't know what to do. How to help her." "Three days in and I'm already at my wit's end," he said. (ACOSF, Ch. 11)

"Change comes slowly for us. What humans accomplish in decades takes us centuries." (ACOSF, Ch. 11)

Elain stood by the rail, the breeze caressing her hair. "She's not getting any better. She's not even trying." She wrapped her arms around herself and stared toward the distant sea. (ACOSF, Ch. 17)

"Some of [the priestesses] have been here for hundreds of years and still haven't been able to come back from what they endured. So what hope do I have?" He rubbed at his shoulder, as if it were sore. "We've been working for barely two weeks, Nesta. Physically, you might be seeing changes, but what's happening in your mind, your heart, will take far longer than that. [...]" (ACOSF, Ch. 18)

He said with soft fury, "It took me ten years before I was able to face it. What I'd done to those people, and what I'd lost. Ten years. [...] You want to take twenty years, go ahead." (ACOSF, Ch. 18)

This book makes my head spin. It seems like the timeline for everyone else to heal and process trauma is... decades, at minimum. Centuries, possibly. So if Cassian knows this—(because he IS the man who said he was at his wits end only 3 days in just to turn around a week and a half later and tell Nesta she can take 20 years if she wants)—then I do NOT understand Rhysand's original plan. How long did the IC expect Nesta to be institutionalised in the Sentient Psychiatric Hospital & Gulag exactly? 4 weeks? 30 years?? 250??? With Cassian there the entire time????
