#nesta headcanon

[etchedjade]

My comfort headcanon is that, instead of going to the house of wind, Nesta decided to run to the human lands instead in a petty act against the IC, as if saying she preferred a sure death than live with Cassian. And you know what court is closest to the human boarders?

The Spring Court.

Nesta going there and kinda forcing Tamlin into taking her in, both turning into reluctant housemates that clash a lot, but Nesta isn't afraid of his beast form and her mean tongue doesn't bother Tamlin. Eventually they become friends because they bond over the ic's hypocrisy and how they've been treated over glasses of wine. They both get their healing arcs together.

She gets to see Eris sometimes, outside the IC machinations, and while they don't like each other yet, she gets to know him a bit better.

Until the IC comes looking for her (because of course Rhysand had Azriel track her down to drag her back) Tamlin helps her escape and guess who ends up finding her this time?

Eris, who brings her to his court as a refugee, and she has to navigate around the complicated family dynamic and the twisted court where no one can be trusted. But much like Feyre's canon story, what seemed like a terrifying and evil court turns out to be way more than it meets the eye. The Vanserra are not what people think, none of them. And slowly, Nesta finds her place within them

First of all, I love this. I believe she would heal better away from the IC and outside of the NC (though the Valks helped a lot). I do think Nes having a hand in taking down Beron and rebuilding Autumn with someone who gets her—Eris—would be very cool and fitting.

Second of all, I think I partially read a fic that went something like this. I didn’t get to the part where Nes got together with anyone but Nes and Tam’s bond was really sweet. I think the endgame for the fic was Az—which I love bc Nesriel is on par with Neris for me.

It’s called “A House of Flame and Flower” by Mellowenglishgal on AO3!

Third of all, I was not expecting this but I love that you wanted to share your Nesta-related thoughts and headcannons with me!

If anyone wants to send their Nesta/Valk/or Autumn Court theories and headcannons with me, please feel free to send it in asks! I’d love to read them!

(I’m actually working through 3 theories rn and hope to post those with evidence in the next month or so)

Isn't it so ✨poetic✨ how Nesta is a smut romance reader and she gets one of the most spicy and full of love story ever?🥰

Headcanon that if Nesta became a writer she'd write about her love with Cassian because it would be her source of inspiration.🥰

Cassian: Is it just me or Az's shadows are giddy?

Azriel: They are always like that

Rhys: Maybe because Az is so smiley and giddy

Feyre: What got you so smiley Az?

Azriel: I'm just in a good mood

Nesta: What got you in a good mood then?

Azriel: Should there be a reason?

Amren: y/n kissed his cheek and called his shadows cute

At The Spa

Lucien- *In a robe, cucumbers over his eyes, getting a pedicure* "And THEN, Lady Catherine decides she's going to not alone try to cheat on her husband, but she's dumb enough to think that just saying they had a break up is going to be enough for anyone to sleep with her!"

Tamlin- *Also in a robe with cucumbers over his eyes, getting a manicure* "That stupid slut."

Eris- *Taking off a cucumber* "Who was she trying to sleep with?"

Lucien- "You won't believe me"

Nesta- *Takes off both cucumbers* "Try us"

Lucien- "M E"

Everyone- *GASPS* "THAT WHORE"

[glossamerfaerie]

I feel like a lot of people focus on Nesta’s reaction to Gwynriel’s relationship once they go public. Maybe Nesta threatens Az to keep her girl safe. Maybe she tears up with joy for her BFFs. Maybe she’s speechless because she didn’t see it coming. And so on. But no one ever talks about how Cassian will react other than the obligatory joy and merciless teasing. “Surely he’s going to take revenge for Az’s disruptive chaperoning!”

Except… I don’t think that’s quite right for Cassian. He’s watched his brother pine after their mutual friend for 500 years. He feels incredibly guilty for sleeping with Mor just because he was jealous of Az’s crush. He’s been acting as a buffer in a fucked up situation that only ended recently. He knows how desperately lonely Az is. How much Az wants to find love. How fragile Az’s heart is despite his broody spymaster exterior.

I like to imagine that Cassian finds Gwyn in the Library, asking for a private word. He’s happy for them, of course, but he asks Gwyn for a favor. Cassian explains that he will support whatever Gwyn wants in this relationship, whether it’s being with Az or breaking up if she’s unhappy. All he asks is that Gwyn be gentle with Az’s heart and devotion, especially when it comes to ending things. Just… be careful not to shatter his heart.

Everyone assumes that Az can withstand any pain or blow. But Cassian knows better. Everyone else is worried for Gwyn in this relationship, but only Cassian is worried for Azriel. 💔🥺

Prythian handwriting ranking

From best to worst

Nesta -- She would make having perfect handwriting into a sport

Elain -- Everything she does is pretty

Lucien -- He's big on appearances and communication is kinda his job. Also i just think the children of the Autumn Court would be taught fancy cursive

Eris -- (See point No. 3)

Mor -- she dots the i's with little hearts

Rhys -- tidy, but he writes in all caps

Azriel -- legible but clearly boy handwriting

Feyre -- looks the same as Rhysand's but messier

Tamlin -- Used to be at No. 7, but he spent so long in his beast form that he forgot how

Amren -- no one knows bc it's all in another language

Cassian -- completely illegible

For @tamlinweek Day 7 - Free Day

This is loosely based on a post I once saw about Tamlin being distracted from his paperwork and running outside to chase hummingbirds.

Nyx Headcanons

Headcanons for my favorite little bean, because we don't talk about him enough.

He 100% inherits Rhys's "earth-shattering" power. That extra chapter where Feyre and Rhys were deciding on a name and basically felt powers shifting in the Force when Nyx came up makes me firmly believe that.

He's a good, sweet kid but also goes through a few phases where he's an absolute nightmare to raise through no fault of his own. Nyx is a happy baby, but has zero concept of his power when it starts to show, leaving one very tired High Lord and High Lady when he shatters a window in his nursery when wiggling his arms excitedly.

He's an intuitive little guy though and very quickly figures out he needs to be careful when Feyre and Rhys try to teach him to get a handle on that power. He learns this the hard way after accidentally nightmisting one of his toys.

Nobody for the life of them can figure out why he adores cranky Auntie Amren so much. Though he's not old enough to explain it, he thinks she's another child to play with. Cassian suggests this and Amren nearly rips his head off.

Nyx is a full-fledged mama's boy. He adores Feyre and is a complete snugglebug with her. He's also very protective of his mama.

That said, he idolizes his dad too and copies everything he does. He follows Rhys around and mimics everything, right down to trying to copy the High Lord's graceful swagger. Feyre, naturally, absolutely melts at the sight of him waddling after his dad with one hand in his pocket looking too cool for school on his tiny little legs.

Nyx is obsessed with Starfall, and his first-ever painting is a finger painting of him with his parents under those stars. Rhys gets misty-eyed when he sees it.

He's besties with Kallias and Viviane's little snow angel. The fact they're the same age is perfect--when the grown-ups are too boring tending to one courtly matter or the other, Nyx and his friend can easily pass the time playing in the snow. Nyx already has met his match in the realm of snowball fighting, and takes a new tactic or two back to absolutely wallop his uncles. Rhys could not be more proud of this fact.

Nyx takes his role as Eldest Cousin very seriously, but there's one cousin in particular who absolutely does not and will not listen to a word he says. Guess whose kid that cousin is.

Nyx takes a little too much after his mother sometimes in that he befriends every semi-civil demon-thing or dark spirit that walks the face of the earth. To Uncle Cassian's absolute horror, Nyx is apparently friends with Bryaxis...and Bryaxis loves this kid.

something about Az just calling Gwyn "Berdara" instead of her actual name (really affectionately)

[etchedjade]

Look, I know all of us neris shippers want them to have the most espectacular, elegant and glamorous wedding ever, because they deserve it but also because we know eris wouldn't stand for anything less for nesta (looking at certain winged asshole that mocked her petition to have jewellery on their mating ceremony because "Morrigan and Azriel wouldn't let me hear the end of it" ehem ehem). They're both regal couple goals and i respect that

But hear me out, imagine them that, when they figure out they're in love and want to be together forever blah blah, they instead dissapear and get married in secret, with only the priestess as witness, and then proceed to vanish from prythian to enjoy a peaceful honeymoon without responsabilities, just the two of them.

When they return (after months of their whole family going mad looking for them and thinking they were kidnapped) they have the official ceremony. But yeah, they're dramatic bitches and I totally see them doing this on an impulse they've been trapped in duties and rules all their lives let them do something reckless for the fun of it

No but I was thinking the same thing!!

I don’t think Nes or Eris would want a super big wedding, especially if they were to do it out of love. (For court politic reasons they’d probably also have to have a big one like you mentioned). Nes even said she just wanted a small thing—and Cassian denied her that… 💀

I love the idea that they’d leave without warning for their honeymoon to travel! Not only would Nes actually get to travel like she wanted, but Eris would have a taste of true freedom before becoming High Lord of Autumn.

This is so cute. Now I want to draw their wedding. It’s even Autumn in the northern hemisphere so I think it would be fitting! 🤭

Thank you so much for sharing!! I appreciate everyone that has sent asks with their headcannons! You guys make my Nes/Eris heart happy!!

I have this painful headcanon for the fae of the Spring Court that made me wonder why I crave angst so damn much. . .

When someone from the Spring Court is dying outdoors in a brutal way (instances like war and stuff), flowers begin growing around them as a last effort to ground their magic, in attempts to ground them until help can arrive, regardless of what court or lands they're in.

But when they die, the flowers continue growing and thornless vines creep up their bodies, shielding the wounds so everyone's last sight of them isn't a visual of how they died, but instead the caress of nature as their body is reclaimed by the earth and their magic goes back to the Spring Court.

I have a scenario too, which I'll gladly provide if necessary, but y'all need to tell me which character I'm traumatizing by writing the death of someone close to them.

Does this make any sense at all??? Have I finally gone mad???

[azrielsbxtch]

And if I say SJM is taking Azriel on the same romantic journey as Chaol….

Mor is his Aelin. He truly loved her. It was real to him. But due to circumstances he has to let her go.

Elain is his Nesryn. Mutual attraction but the relationship is clearly going nowhere.

Gwyn is his Yrene. The one he never saw coming.

Nessian 🔥

[achaotichuman]

Human Nesta would shake Nessian Nesta by the shoulders screaming "What the fuck is wrong with you???!!!!"

Human Feyre would be drawing her bow trying to shoot Feysand Feyre just so she would never become her.

Human Elain would look at Elucien Elain and be like, "Nice."
