Flying Changes - Prologue
A Nessian Equestrian Fic
Masterlist // Next Part
Read on AO3 or below!
Their hearts were connected as they flew over the obstacle. Pieces of dirt came undone from the ground as Flames’ hooves pounded down and roared up. Nesta kept her head high keeping her wrists steady and light as they aimed for the next jump.
This was her third Olympics. She could win this. She could prove to the world she could do this all on her own. She could win gold without Markus. Fuck that monster. He belonged to the deepest parts of hell. After she wins she’ll come forward. All of the abuse she suffered from her parents to Markus. How she survived everything. How she wanted to make it up to her sisters.
She was so busy training she had missed big life events recently. Elain had graduated from Spring Manor College in late spring, but training had already begun. Feyre was still in school in their hometown, Velaris. Nesta made sure to send gifts to them whenever she could. Occasionally she would receive a text from Feyre. And every once in a while a call from Elain. But the calls were becoming less and less frequent.
Flame blew from his muzzle as Nesta urged him to the next jump. Bystanders stood outside of the manmade track. Their eyes followed her as they clapped and egged Nesta on. She could bring home gold. She would do it. One more time.
As Flame took off over the next jump, something slowed in Nesta’s mind. For a second she questioned where she was. She had been in this position for most of her life. In the air between the sky and ground. Her stomach dropped, knowing something was off. It wasn’t the blissful feeling she would always get. It was something darker. Scarier.
A dull scream erupted from the scene, but Nesta couldn’t tell where it was coming from. Her body made impact with the ground, lying broken. She looked up to see Flame in a mirrored position. A silent scream slipped from her lips as she felt hands travel all over her body. She pleaded with them to stop. She would listen this time. This time she would listen.
But no one answered her as a world of unknown darkness claimed her view falling into an abyss. In the distance she heard a faint familiar sound of camera flashes going off.
Then there was nothing.

The Blood on Your Hands
Summary: Cassian's had enough of Rhysand threatening his mate. He's decided to show his High Lord what happens when he threatens her for a second time.
This is pure smut. The first half is somewhat violet as a heads up. Also warning, there's slight HOFAS spoilers but I made it vague enough that it doesn't go into much detail. This isn't an anti Rhys train, I was just mad at his reaction.
Additional Tags: I was mad once again at HOFAS / Mainly the BAM bonus chapter / Cassian is crazy in this / 1000% alphahole / But I love him / Possessive Cassian / Mating bonds / Its pure filth in the second half / Smut / Praise kink /Not really blood play but blood is kinda there

Tag list: @separatist-apologist
There was so much red, Cassian couldn’t see his siphons anymore. His hands were coated in blood, his blood. The male who was his brother, his friend, his High Lord.
Rhys would heal.
That was his only reassurance as he punched his face again. His fist connected to Rhys’ mouth once more. From the hit, he spit out the mixture of saliva and blood and tears.
“We’re Ilyrian. So today we will follow their laws.” Cassian growled, his teeth baring at Rhysand. Rhysand was smart not to say anything. His breathing was heavy as he gasped for air.
Rhysand was high lord but he was no Lord of Bloodshed. He could fight his way through a battle with strategy, but when it came down to physical strength, that’s where Cassian had him. But Cassian had another factor in his anger. Something ancient and holy that not even the Illyrians would deny.
His hazel eyes met her silvery blue ones. Her face remained stoic, not a single wince of fear in sight. Yanking the High Lord by his hair, Cassian dragged Rhysand to Nesta’s boots. She wore Illyrian leathers, just like the two of them. An Illyrian in mind and soul.
“Apologize.” Cassian demanded. Rhysand mumbled something but Cassian decided that wasn’t good enough. He pulled on Rhysand’s hair, making him look up at Nesta.
“Apologize to her. Now. Be clear with your words. I will not ask again.” The High Lord gulped as more blood left his mouth. His entire face was bruised in shades of blues and purple. Ironically it complimented his violet irises.
“I’m…I’m sorry.” Rhysand spoke. Cassian sneered. “For what?” Rhysand coughed more of his blood.
“For threatening to kill you, Nesta…For a second time.” Cassian roared at the apology, his hand finally letting go of Rhysand’s head. He marched forward until he stood behind Nesta, his mate.
Silence from Nesta amplified Rhysand’s gasps and coughing fits. Still standing without so much of any emotion. The queen of queens her mother projected her to be, and today she was.
“Rhysand.” Nesta spoke. Her voice firm with her silver flame eyes.
“You will never threaten me, or my loved ones again. I did what anyone with a human heart would have done. That includes my sister. The very sister you’re mated too. There are concepts that even century old fae like yourself cannot understand. I hope after this, you understand my actions. You do not have to agree, but respect is something of mutual value.”
She offered her hand to him. “You’re high lord, which is why Cassian decided to do this in the training yard and not in Illyria. We need to be strong and unified against the ones who cause unjust rebellions. So let this be a one time moment. A learning moment if you will.”
Rhys looked up at Nesta. “Never fuck with Cassian’s mate again?” Nesta smirked. “You’re a fast learner.”
She grabbed his hand and helped him up. Together they brought him inside where Feyre was sipping her tea. Looking up, she grimaced.
“Jeez Cass, did you have to go that far?” Cassian glared at her in reply. She rolled her eyes.
“Has everyone learned their lessons?” Feyre asked. Rhys and Nesta looked at each other then nodded.
“Good. Cassian, put him down over there. I’m going to make his favorite tea and then I’ll start healing.” Cassian did as the High Lady instructed. He graciously placed the High Lord down on the sofa. All three of them heard her mumble about ‘big Ilyrian babies’ as she walked to the kitchen.
“Brother.” Cassian said, firm but gently. Rhys kept his eyes closed, but he spoke softly. “I would’ve done the same thing to you, you piece of shit.” And for the first time that evening, Cassian laughed. He bumped his fist on Rhys’ shoulder who hissed in pain. “You did that on purpose.” “Just a love tap, brother.”
Cassian walked over to Nesta who stood with her arms crossed, watching the whole scene. “Ready, Sweetheart?” A crack in Nesta’s steel armor appeared. A soft smile welcomed his question. “Always.”
The General of the Night Court swooped his mate into his arms and disappeared to their room.
The second Cassian closed their bedroom door, Nesta quietly asked the House for a sound barrier under her breath. The House created a barrier as asked, keeping everything inside their room private. Cassian looked over to Nesta and as he started to approach her, she backed him up against the door.
His eyes widened for a split second before he could smell it. Her yearning. Her need. Her desire. She placed a hand on his cock, feeling it grow hard through the leathers. A breath left him as her lips connected to his neck. She nipped and sucked at him, their desire growing.
“Never have I ever been turned on by a brutish fight.” She mumbled into his skin. “Good to know what gets you off, Sweetheart.” Cassian replied.
Her hands ran to his leathers, slowly undoing the armor letting it fall to the floor. Eventually as she reached his pants, they dropped down along with her knees. Nesta didn’t even flinch at the impact, as it just made her more turned on. His cock, thick, long, and throbbing to be inside sprung out. Quickly she took her hand and started to pump. Her lips found his head, licking his slit before putting his length in her mouth.
Cassian moaned, grabbing Nesta’s hair, pushing his cock deep inside her throat. She gagged as tears sprang into her eyes. A throbbing need matched at the apex of her thighs.
“Look at you. Taking my cock so well, Sweetheart. You didn’t let me clean up first. Does beating the shit out of someone do it for you? Do you want me to fuck you with their blood on my hands?” In response Nesta moaned, picturing the thought in her head.
“You’re filthy, Sweetheart.” The humiliation burned her desire great as she squeezed his cock harder. Cassian hissed, fucking her throat. He pulled her mouth almost fully off before entering her mouth again, letting a slip of air come in.
“If you don’t stop, Sweetheart, I’m going to cum down your throat. You want that? You want my cum everywhere, don’t you?” Nesta’s tears splattered on her face as Cassian yelled, his hot finish releasing. Nesta pulled her lips off, drooling.
“Your beauty will end me and all our enemies. They will fall to their knees looking upon you.” Cassian fell to his own knees, pushing Nesta down on the wooden floor. He quickly removed her leathers, wanting every piece of her. In seconds Nesta was bare before him, her arousal coating her inner thighs. A smirk fell to his lips.
“All of this, for me?” Nesta whimpered, her hips bucking wanting to be touched.
“Answer me, Nes.” Cassian ordered. “All of it. All of this. It’s for you, Cassian. Now please fuck me!”
“Or do I have to get your other brother involved to finish the job?” Nesta taunted.
Immediately Cassian wrapped a hand around her throat squeezing. His teeth bared as he growled. “You will involve no one else but me inside you, Nesta.” He squeezed harder. “Understand?”
Nesta’s eyes fluttered, air being trivial at this point. But she nodded to his command. Gently his hand left her neck. And right as she gasped for her air, Cassian put his mouth on her clit. Nesta swore so loudly as she saw stars appear in her vision. He sucked on her before his lips left, dragging his tongue everywhere. The taste of her consuming him to no end.
His mouth traveled from there to her inner thighs, biting the soft skin, claiming every part of her. Nesta gasped as her hands pulled at his hair. His lips found her clit again and with a tiny nip of his teeth, she came. He pulled away, keeping her legs spread apart, watching her cunt clutch at nothing.
“Please, Cassian. I want your hands, your cock. Please. Please fill me until your cum is slipping out of my cunt.” Her face flushed at her own words.
Cassian growled and let go of her legs before grabbing her cheeks. “Get on the bed. Choose whatever position you want, Sweetheart.” He let go and watched her scramble to their bed. Her arms down on the blankets with her ass up. Mother above he could die just by that view.
“I’m going to wash my hands and then I’ll be back, Sweetheart.” Nesta whined, stomping her feet the best she could in that position. Cassian strolled over, yanking her hair so her upper body came up. “I would rather chew my hand off, then have another male’s blood inside you, Nesta.” The way he growled her name made her desire leak onto the bed.
He slapped her ass hard, catching Nesta off guard. She gasped at the impact, the upper half of her body dropping back down when he let go of her hair. The red handprint on her ass was divine as he walked away. As he got into the bathroom connected to their room, he kept an eye on her.
“Touch yourself, Nes. I want you to get yourself ready for me.” Cassian called out.
Slowly Nesta brought her arm in between her legs immediately sinking three fingers inside herself. Cassian and Nesta moaned in unison. Quickly Cassian washed his hands, the blood leaving a pink faded trail behind. In mere seconds he walked out to the bed, putting two of his own fingers inside Nesta, joining her own. She squealed at the tightness of having five fingers inside her.
“You can take it, Sweetheart. You take my cock and my whole fist. You were made for me. Just as I was made for you.” He whispered into her ear. The action of their hands thrusting faster and faster made Nesta gasp as she came. Cassian licked his lips.
“I love it when you do that.” Nesta huffed a breath. “I could have gotten myself off three times by now.” “You sure you want to be a brat today?” Nesta shaked her ass in response. Cassian growled. He took her hips into his hands and thrusted his cock into her. They moaned at the sensation as it been days since they last fucked.
“I don’t have the patience for discipline tonight. So you’ll get it rough and learn your lesson later.” Cassian shouted, his hips slamming into her. His cock thrusted in her cunt as Nesta held onto the bedspread for deer life. He grabbed a hold of her neck again, pushed her body flat against his, her back on his chest.
“What do you want? Tell me, Nesta.” “Want you. Fuck me. Make me cum.” “Not what I’m looking for, Nes.”
She screamed as his pace slowed into a taunt. So slow that his cock left her except for his tip.
“What. Do. You. Want?” Nesta screamed in agony. “Please, Cassian. Fuck me. MATE. My Mate. PLEASE.” Then he found himself back inside her, pounding into her. They moaned and screamed as their desires finished, coating her walls. They breathed heavily as she dropped back down to the bed, his cock leaving her.
Cassian watched the cum leave only for it to be pushed back in. Nesta moaned at the sensitivity of the area. She gasped for him to be gentle. He noticed the bloody fingerprints over her thighs making he purr at the sight.
“I will mate. Now before we take a bath, let me clean you up.” He flipped her onto her back before he walked off and wetted a clean washcloth with warm water. He came back and gently began cleaning her thighs and in between.
“Should I beat up more people around you, Nes?” Cassian looked down at her. “Maybe I should join you and Azriel in your interrogations.” A feline grin on her face. “Perhaps, if you’re good.” He teased before he threw the cloth into the hamper. He picked her up in his arms, and off the two went to bathe.

Flying Changes - Chapter One
A Nessian Equestrian Fic
Masterlist // Previous Part // Next Part
Read on AO3 or below!
Three years later…
Nesta Archeron made a lot of mistakes in her life. In the seventh grade she accidentally told a secret that wasn’t hers to share. When she did her online classes during high school she had forgotten about an entire English project and simply had to take the failing grade. But this current mistake, as she smelled of cheap beer and liquor. This was by far the worst mistake she’s ever made as she stepped out of the Uber facing the Velaris Courthouse.
Bile rose in her throat, the contents of the alcohol gaining an upperhand. She gulped then massaged her face, putting color into her cheeks. It would all be okay. I’ve been fine in the past. I’ll be fine now.
She climbed the marble steps before entering the courthouse, finding the room her case was assigned too.
“Where is your client, Mr. Vanserra? I won’t ask again.”
“I’m sorry, your honor. She’ll be here any minute.”
Ah fucking shit. Eris might just pull out all of his hair for this.
Heads swung as Nesta opened the court door, keeping her head low. She wore an old dress that most definitely had a ripped somewhere and her heels seemed to be wobbly. Or was that herself being wobbly?
Eris greeted her quietly before glaring at her. He pulled his head near her’s.
“Your have to be fucking kidding me right now. Are you actually drunk right now, Nesta?”
Nesta made a motion with her head to show somewhat as an answer. Eris sighed heavily before turning to the judge.
“You honor, my client has appeared now. I think we can start now.”
The judge peered down at Nesta. Her silvery eyes and black hair bob made Nesta squirm slightly.
“Listen young lady. If you’re ever late to court again, there'll be a lot more trouble given to you.” The judge said before continuing.
“You pleaded guilty for driving under the influence and as this would be your second offense, your consequences fit your crime.”
Nesta swayed back and forth, the nerves lingering in her body. She dropped her chin a little and looked over her shoulder. Near the back was her baby sister, Feyre. And at her side was her long-term boyfriend, Rhysand Valyrian. Feyre’s face was written in disappointment while Rhysand shot glares at Nesta.
Better watch out, buddy. Your face might get stuck like that.
“Miss Archeron, did you hear me?” The judge called out.
Nesta jolted, coming back to reality. “I’m sorry, Judge.”
Eris groaned, his hand already in his hair.
“It’s your honor, girl.”
“Yes, your honor.”
The judge began flipping through a packet in front of her.
“I will not be repeating myself after this, Miss Archeron.” She paused before continuing. “As you pleaded guilty this will not be entering an official trial. I would sentence you to the Dusk Court Prison if it was solely up to me Miss Archeron.”
Nesta’s heart began to speed up. Prison was really on the table this time when she spoke with Eris last; the night she made bail.
The judge sighed. “But after a loved one sent in a letter I’m afraid their decision had swayed me. Nesta Archeron, you will not be sentenced to prison.”
What felt like a collection of relieved sighs happened across the room. However Nesta must have imagined it.
“You will serve three hundred and seventy-five hours of community service while on probation. You will meet with your lawyer and parole officer once a week. If things go over well we can look into extending the meetings every two weeks.”
“Your license will be suspended for 1 year. You will be attending mandatory Alcoholics Anonymous sessions in the area you’ll be staying in.”
Nesta gripped her wrist, nails digging into her skin.
“Finally, you will be volunteering at the House of Wind Therapeutic Ranch in Windhaven. You will not be allowed to leave the site unless otherwise approved by the staff or mandated such as the sessions.”
Her stomach dropped. Freezing water dumped over her entire body.
A ranch?
“Your honor, is this a horse ranch?”
The judge looked down at her with a deadpan stare. “Yes, Miss Archeron. This is a ranch that involves horses. Although there may be other animals there too. Is that a problem?”
Nesta shook her head. No, no, no. This couldn’t be right.
“No, your honor. I’m not qualified to work there. I’ll take the–” but before Nesta could continue, Eris squeezed her shoulder roughly. He glared at her, his rusted color eyes glancing at her silvery blues.
“Your honor, my client doesn’t understand how this is a tremendous opportunity given to her. She will take it. Won’t you, Miss Archeron?” Eris squeezed harder, Nesta wincing. Her breath drew heavier, a faint memory of hands on her before.
There was no escaping. This was her consequence.
“...Yes, your honor. I understand.”
“I’m glad that you do. You’ll be needed at the ranch by nightfall tonight. If you cannot arrange a ride, the court will order one for you. If you break any of these rules, Miss Archeron, the consequences will escalate to a higher degree. Do I make myself clear?”
Nesta nodded. “Yes, your honor.”
The gavel’s sound bounced across the rooms. The sentencing was finished. Dread filled her veins while Eris stepped away from her, packing his things. She looked behind her again to see Feyre standing there, arms crossing over her chest. Rhysand had just walked out the door.
Nightfall came as Nesta sat in the passenger seat of Feyre’s truck. Technically it was their father’s old truck, but he passed it down to her shortly after her high school graduation. The fabric seats were torn with threads peeling and mysterious stains that Nesta didn’t need to know more of.
The car ride was filled with so much silence, it was like a third person was in the truck. Nesta kept picking at the skin, creating bloody hangnails. The radio wasn’t on either. Nesta loved music, but Feyre looked like she wanted silence. Her sister’s eyes kept on the road, both hands on the wheel. Driving through the highways then onto backroads, Feyre and Nesta made their way to the town of Windhaven. Approximately an hour outside Velaris.
There was humid mist in the air as rain drizzled from the sky. The windshield wipers rubbed against the glass. Nesta winced every time the wipers made a sound.
Red lights reflected on the puddles on the two lane road. The car came to a stop. And then Feyre sighed.
“Nesta, I love you. You’re my sister. But I can’t keep doing this.”
“I can’t keep reliving this nightmare of my family dying because of alcohol. Mom and dad died because they drank themselves to death.”
Nesta’s hand curled into her palm. Bitter words were hanging off her tongue and she did nothing to stop them.
“You need to get over dad’s death. It was almost three years ago. And secondly you need to get a new car, Fey.”
Fey was the nickname Nesta and Elain had decided for her when their sister was born. It had been stuck like that since. Feyre winced at her old nickname. The light turned green, and Feyre drove again.
Silence came in between them once more, as Feyre made a turn onto a dirt road. Some of the street lamps were on, illuminating pastures and arenas. Nesta’s stomach turned at the once familiar sight.
“That’s not fair, Nesta.” Feyre counted as she pulled up to a house, putting the old truck in park.
“You’re the one literally dating Daddy Warbucks. He could give you the moon if you wanted. Maybe ask for a new car or some shit.”
“You will leave Rhysand out of this. He has nothing to do with this. And Nesta…IF you don’t change your ways, I will make sure you will not meet my child. I will not have that in their life.”
Nesta sat stunned in the quietness of the truck. Her gaze went from Feyre’s face to her stomach then back to Feyre.
“I love you, Nesta. But after this, no more. I will not let you be a burden to my life anymore. I will not have my child witness that.”
Nesta’s lip trembled slightly before she roughly opened the door and grabbing her stuff from the back seat. She didn’t look as she marched on forward, her suitcases and backpack in hand trailing behind her. As she climbed the porch to the front door, it suddenly swung open.
A man, a tall man, stood in the doorway. His long hair in a half up half down style as he leaned against the frame. The wheels of the truck became distant as Nesta looked up at him.
“So, Nesta Archeron. We finally meet after all this time. Welcome to your new home.” He stood inside, ushering her in.
“Prison is more like it..”
“I can get orange jumpsuits if you think that would make you feel better, however I don’t think orange is your color.”
Nesta scuffs, the insult nailing her. She glared daggers at him.
The man moved on, walking down the hall before turning around to face her. “I’m Cassian. Your warren, if we want to stay on the prison theme.”
“And lucky you. You get the fourth floor all to yourself. Enjoy, Nes.” Then he walked off, not bothering to help Nesta.
“My name is Nesta!” She called out after him followed by mumbling a few curses under her breath. Nesta took her things and began to climb the stairs. Step after step Nesta made her way flight after flight when she finally got to the last step of stairs. A closed door stood on top.
Nesta sighed, her breath heavy and jagged from the climb.
“I never hated a place more than this.”
She grabbed her belongings, dragging the heavy suitcase up the final set of stairs. The wheels rolling off the wooden steps. Once at the top, Nesta opened the door.
She was greeted with a decent sized room especially for an attic. This had to be the attic after all. There was
twin bed in the corner near the window with an AC box unit installed.
The suitcase and bags were thrown to the ground as Nesta pulled out a piece of gum. Quickly she began to chew as her stomach hit the bed. Squeals of the bedsprings hit her with force. The spearmint flavor kept her mind at bay, letting the urges stay in the dark.

Flying Changes - Chapter Four
A Nessian Equestrian Fic
Masterlist // Previous Part // Next Part
Read on AO3 or below!
Horses
CW: Mentions of alcohol abuse and drunk driving, mentions of family members being hurt bc of addiction. Cassian is indeed an ass in this one. So is Mor.
“Look, Nesta. You got yourself into this. You’re the one who drove drunk to the cemetery last month where you knew your sisters would be there. It’s almost as if you wanted to be caught, falling into a trap they didn’t even set.” He shook his head, looking out the nearby window.
“You’re lucky you didn’t kill someone.” Eris huffed as he ran a hand through his hair.
“I know I might be asking for a lot. But I can’t stand it here, Eris.” Nesta said, crossing her arms.
“You’re asking for something that I can’t do. The judge will not lighten your sentence. In fact she may double down. Or better yet throw you in jail.”
“Maybe it would be better.” Nesta mumbled.
Eris rolled his eyes. “My hands are tied. You put yourself behind that wheel. There's no excuse for that in this world.”
Nesta remained silent, her foot tapping against the table’s leg. The probation officer leaned back in the opposing chair staring.
“Sorry chick-a-dee. You should have known better.”
Her eyes raised until she met his gaze. Glaring from her silver blues to his browns. A smirk rolled with his lips. He leaned down, closer to Nesta. “Careful, pup .”
Eris shot a glare at the officer. “Watch your tone, Bellius. That’s my client you’re speaking to.”
Bellius lifted his hands up in mock surrendering. “Sorry, Eris. Bitch got my tongue and all.”
Nesta snarled shooting up from her chair, but Eris caught her wrists before she could do anything.
He leant down to her ear. “If you want a punishment worse than what you have now, by all means, continue.”
Feeling Bellius’ stare, Nesta yanked her wrist from Eris’ grasp.
“I’m done for today.”
Nesta marched out of the tackroom in a silvery blaze.
**
Bits of the citrus peel came under Nesta’s nails as she finished peeling the clementine. Eating one at a time, Nesta took out her phone, shuffling a playlist to listen to. Her head bobbed to “Stone Mother” by Joise & Laurel. The folky country music played in her earbuds where cellos and violins made art with their bows. Drums in the back and piano as the melody she sang along softly to the music. The sound helped soften her thoughts from earlier with Eris and Bellius. It was something she didn’t want to think about; how she ended up here.
Looking up, Nesta watched the horses from the therapy barn graze. By now she was learning who was who despite not working with them. The two terrasen cove horses were Sundrop and Starlight.They trotted around the area, playfully annoying one another. At first glance it wasn’t easy to tell who was who, but if she looked closely, Starlight’s forelock was a brownish color compared to the rest of his mane that was whitish blond like Sundrop’s.
Grazing near the pasture fence was the nidaros draught named Betty. Cassian mentioned he wanted to call her Betty Brown Eyes but everyone vetoed the name. The horse looked up, watching Neta. She could maybe see where Cassian was coming from, however she would not ignite that man’s ego.
The sun was setting in the late August sky as Nesta’s gaze traveled from horse to horse. It was so natural looking at them, studying their markings and their behaviors that she didn’t notice that different music was playing.
Until she heard the soft violins play the instrumental version of a song about a summer’s cruelty. Her eyes widened at the sounds as she remembered it all; riding Flame in the Grand Prix freestyle in her first Olympics at sixteen. Flame performed the piaffe gorgeously, his body in elegant trot. But what stole the show and earned them the bronze medal were the smooth transitions of the flying changes in his canter strides.
Naturally Nesta’s posture changed from muscle memory. Back straightened, eyes forward, hands steady. Her attention was solely on the music so her gaze unfocused from the world around her. Colors of the sky and grass and horses blended together. Her face stayed neutral as if she was still performing.
Then the music stopped as the wire to her earbuds were yanked. Startled, Nesta scrambled to stand, meeting blonde hair and glaring brown eyes. She stood up fully, tucking her phone back in her pocket, the clementine on the ground.
“Can I help you?” Nesta asked.
“You can help the ranch. Breaktime is over.” The woman said.
Nesta recognized the designer logos on the woman’s outfit and accessories. Who the fuck brought Barbie Karen out here?
“Excuse me, but you don’t order me around.”
“I do when my cousin owns this ranch. I do when my best friend has had to suffer from not just alcoholic parents, but a sister too.”
Guilt slid right to her heart at the mention of her family. Shifting left, Nesta stared at the woman in front of her. She looked oddly familiar, remembering her on Feyre’s instagram. Ranging from posts featuring the City of Starlight to late night stories. Her stomach twirled with slight envy whenever they appeared on her feed. She raised an eyebrow at the woman as she tried to recall her name.
Michelle? Monica?
Nesta glared. “I don’t know why you’re being such a busybody? And in any case, I follow Cassian’s orders.”
The woman glared right back. “Cass and Az went to the tack shop a few towns over to buy more feed or whatever.” She glanced down at her manicured nails before continuing. “It doesn't matter. Cass put me in charge of you. As a reminder, you were sent here to work. Not to look at ponies all day.”
The guilt dried out as anger brewed over it, swelling in Nesta’s stomach and mind. Her hands curled into fists. As emotions rose, so did the familiar wanting waves of liquor Nesta knew she should ignore.
“Fuck off.” Nesta snapped, her tone bitter to the bite.
The woman stood unphased. “Cassian mentioned you would be stubborn as Rhys’ mule. Get back to work, Nesta.”
Nesta moved back so she was leaning against the nearby tree. “I think I’m quite content to stay right here actually. And clearly you know me, but I don’t know you. Although you seem oddly familiar.” The desire to drink grew with every word she spat.
“I remember my sister hanging out with an alt-righteous bitch. Megan was it?” She spoke without missing a beat.
“It’s Morrigan.” The blonde snarled. “And last time I checked, the alt-righteous bitch was the one who almost killed her own sister by driving drunk.”
Time swirled as Nesta was no longer standing near Morrigan on that damn ranch. No, she was behind the wheel of her car, familiar blue eyes looking at her in fear, wincing for the impact to happen. The guilt rose and overlaid her entire soul as engine smoke blew into her lungs.
Cold deadly rage bolted Nesta from the tree, her body barely inches from Morrigan.
“You know nothing about that day.”
“I know enough.”
The rage grew sorrowful in its course through Nesta’s heart. Her desire to defend herself lay defeated in between them. Nesta silently walked past Morrigan, bumping her shoulder with the blonde’s.
“Where do you think you’re going?” Morrigan called out.
Nesta stopped, looking over her shoulder. “I can’t stand you if I’m sober.”
She walked away, every step in wrath and grief. As Nesta came near the house, spotting a bay mare trotting around uneasily. Her body language came off as scared almost. Don’t I know the feeling?
Turning her head, Nesta continued walking down the dirt driveway making it all the way to the mailbox before turning on the two way road, heading to the right. Her phone was her only companion whose battery life ran dangerously low as the sky only grew darker.
**
Nesta was unsure how long she was walking for as she made her way down the road. The urge to drink was clutching her throat, needing the taste of smooth cold vodka. Her nails scratched her left arm, trying to suppress the urges that she fed willingly for the last several years. Body aches and a pounding headache merged not long after, her symptoms starting to come back in high tide.
Fuck that bitch. Fuck Morrigan. She doesn’t know anything. None of them do! Nesta thought to herself as her mind stayed focused on all of these thoughts. Her guilt had drained entirely but only to be replaced with anger. It was like this for years, no one knowing the truth, and Nesta knew she shouldn’t be surprised, but it bothered her. It bothered her to her bones, as they carried her trauma.
A car going the opposite direction came over a hill, its headlights blinding Nesta for a moment where she walked on the narrow shoulder. Large fields were all that she could make out as she stopped walking. A slow dread curled into the pit of her stomach. Where the hell was she?
She peered up to the sky, the once oranges and pinks and purples were now the shades of blackish blues. The sky was littered with stars, however their names she never could recall. Feyre was always good at remembering the constellations, their names and where they were in the sky.
The thought of her baby sister made the pit grow bigger, anchoring her to the stop. She squeezed her eyes shut, not wanting to think of Feyre. Reaching into her pocket, Nesta drew out her phone that’s battery was at five percent. Panic strode deep within her, hands shaking. Quickly Nesta unlocked her cracked screen, moving on autopilot as she found the last number she called that was several weeks ago. The phone dialed, her anxiety growing.
I shouldn’t have called. She’s busy. She has her life. She doesn’t need me. But I–
“Hello?” A voice Nesta recognized far too well spoke on the other line.
Nesta struggled to speak, but her anxiety pushed through with a tail flare of courage. “Ellie?”
An old nickname for her first younger sister. Growing up they called each other Nessie and Ellie, a duo that survived their mother’s laws and father’s absences. The other day she didn’t want to think of her, but now she clung to her sister’s voice in this endless sea of darkness.
“Are you drunk?” Elain accused.
Startled by the accusation, Nesta’s pitch shot high. “W-what? No. Listen it’s a long story, but I walked off the ranch and my phone is dying-”
“What!? Where are you, Nesta? What are you even thinking? Are you asking to join our parents now?”
Hurt slammed into Nesta like the wind was knocked out of her. But she pushed it down, all the way to the rage she grew familiar with living with. The rage everyone saw.
“Fuck you, Elain. I was just trying to talk to you.”
“Well excuse me for not knowing the difference. I don’t think I’ve spoken to you sober in almost two years, Nesta.” She sighed before continuing. “And the last several times you called, all you did was apologize to me while drunk.”
“You got yourself into this mess, Nesta. Figure out how to get back on your own.”
Her words ironically mirrored Nesta's conversation with Eris. Before she could hiss or cry out, the line went dead. Nesta pulled her phone away from her ear, the black screen filling the void. Numbly, Nesta walked, her anxiety and hurt and rage clung to the ground making her steps heavy as she pushed forward.
Her eyes stung with tears as Nesta continued walking. She sniffed, hoping to bottle these feelings away. She hated crying. Hated looking weak. Hated how she could be taken advantage of with tears. As sadness brewed into a simmering rage, she suddenly stopped. Lights of a nearby store shined, an open sign flashing in the corner of the window. Then it hit her.
“I also live down the road from the House of Wind. I run the general store down the way. If you make a right out of the ranch and keep going down, you’ll find my place eventually.”
Before Nesta knew it, she was running. Her lungs heaved at the sudden exercise as Nesta pushed open the door, almost falling face first into the wooden floor. Trying to regain her breath, Nesta gazed around the shop area. There was a counter filled with crops probably from local farmers. Nearby was an entire shelf dedicated to the local honey, ranging from honey in a bottle to honeycombs. On the other side was local pet food and toys. There were a few spots that held snacks and drinks for customers.
As Nesta approached the cashier counter, news clippings of barrel races that were so old the paper was an ugly hue of a brownish yellow. There were actual photos along with magazine cut outs. Then in an old wooden frame behind the counter was a photo of a woman who looked like Emerie. Her smile was big as she stood next to a bay colored horse. The horse wore western tack as it seemed genuinely content with the woman.
“We’re about to close, so make it fast–Nesta?” A voice came out from a nearby backroom. Her new friend stood with her hair in a braid like the other day. Emerie lifted the hatched to cut through to the store area.
“What are you doing here? I thought you said that you were…what’s wrong?”
Nesta shook her head, but felt the sting of water in her eyes threatening to fall. She rubbed her eyes roughly, pushing the tears away. She took a breath, then another one. Her hand still over her eyes as she spoke.
“I..I got lost.” She sheepishly shrugged. “Didn’t want to be alone.” She mumbled the last part.
There was weight on her free hand. Pulling the hand away from her face, Nesta cast her gaze downwards. Emerie’s hand laid on top of her’s.
“These roads can get pretty scary at night if you’re not familiar.” Emerie said, before pulling her hand away, ushering Nesta to the backroom. With a little encouragement, Nesta stepped forward going. Most of the room was taken up by shelves, back-stock items. At the end of the room was a desk with a computer and a phone.
“Make yourself at home.” Emerie pointed to a chair as she walked to the desk.
Nesta sat comfortably in the cozy armchair. It was worn down by the years with scratch marks and stains, but the golden velvet stood out like a sore thumb. It was the brightest item in the room, possibly on the store level. Nesta raised an eyebrow at the chair.
Emerie grinned at her expression. “I live upstairs, but sometimes I like to read down here when the shop is closed. My dad’s family has had this shop for decades. My mom helped with this store ‘til the day she died.”
Her brows furrowed, lost in a memory. A moment passed before Emerie spoke again. “He wasn’t a good father or husband, but that chair was the one thing he allowed my mom to have.” Emerie shrugged. “Having the chair here is like having her down here too.”
Glancing down at the chair, Nesta’s fingers traced the left armrest. Her gaze returned to Emerie as her new friend stared at her own tattoo on her arm. Emerie traced the words inked into her skin.
“It was something she said to me every day, even on the day she died. ‘I love you Emerie, more than the mountains, the moon, and Mars .’” Emerie’s voice cracked slightly when she finished the quote.
“I’m sorry about your mom.” Nesta’s mother appeared in her mind. Her stare mirrored Nesta's eyes, watching with unrestrained coldness. Rubbing her arms, Nesta tried to draw warmth from the friction of her hands.
“Thank you. Also I’m sorry, I tend to leave the AC blasting down here all of the time.” Emerie apologized as she tossed a blanket from a nearby basket.
Nesta caught the thow, noticing all of the different horses scattered around. A similar one flashed from a childhood memory. Quietly, she breathed looking back up.
“Is your dad still around?”
Emerie laughed, although there was little evidence of humor. “No. He died two years ago. Had a heart attack while running the store…When I found him.” Emerie tapped her fingers against the desk, shifting. “It was like a weight had been lifted.”
Nesta moved so she sat cross-legged underneath the blanket, mindful to slip off her boots beforehand. “I felt similar when my mother died. I was already traveling to shows by then, but when my dad called me to tell the news, I felt…I felt clear, if you ever felt that before.”
Emerie nodded. “I have.”
Standing up, Emerie opened the mini fridge near her desk. She pulled out two glass bottles that resembled beer. Nesta voiced concerns, but stopped short when Emerie handed one to her, a colorful label she’s never seen before.
Cola Cold - originally made Smite Hill.
“Smite Hill?” Nesta puzzled, staring at the logo.
“It’s a small town south of here. They’re not friendly, as you could guess by the name, but they make all sorts of craft sodas and strangely enough neat rabbit statues.”
Emerie took a sip. “Their cola is far by the best in the world. And it’s a twist cap, so don’t even worry about asking for a bottle opener.”
Nesta hummed, twisting the cap off.
The first sip hit her with something fizzy, sweet, tangy, and maybe even citrusy.
A small smile appeared as she took another sip.
“See? It’s good.”
“It’s fine.”
“Liar!” Emerie grinned.
The two smiled at one another, clanking their bottles together.
After a moment, Emerie asked. “You wanna tell me how you got here?”
Nesta took a sip of the soda. “Not really, I don’t wanna talk about me right now.”
Emerie didn’t push, taking the hint. Settling into her desk chair, she reached for a book near the computer when Nesta gasped.
“Is that The Seven Lords and Me ?”
“You know Sellyn Drake?” Emerie’s eyes sparkled with a devilish delight.
“I’ve only read that one from her. What else do you recommend?”
“Oh Nesta Archeon, you have no idea of the pandora box you just opened.”
As the truck turned off, Cassian had an uneasy feeling nestled inside him. Everything was fine up until Azriel and him were on their way back from the store for horse feed and other necessities for the barns. He spotted Mor’s convertible in the lot in front of the house. Grabbing the bags from the tailgate, Cassian began walking to the therapy barn first. He winced slightly with the added weight on his shoulder.
But as he walked, Cassian didn’t see the braided golden brown hair he’s grown familiar with over the last two weeks.The newest horse over in the corral was moving uneasily. She kept trotting and cantering, changing her gaits.
Where was Nesta?
“Cass?” A feminine voice called out.
Cassian turned to see Mor coming out of the house.
“Hi Mor. What’s up? Have you seen Nesta?”
Mor picked at her nails. “You didn’t see her on your way home?”
“On the way home?” Cassian shook his head. “What the fuck happened, Mor?”
“I asked her to finish her break and return to work. It’s what she’s here to do after all. We got into a little spat, and then…” The words trailed off as her hands struggled to empathize.
“Then what, Morrigan?”
It was rare for Mor’s full name to be used within the family. It was even rarer from Cassian.
Mor disappointedly shook her head, caught off guard by the use of her full name. “I don’t know…She said something like going to drink or something. Then she just walked off the ranch.”
The world froze as Cassian’s mind went over everything that Mor just said to him.
“And you…You, you didn’t stop her?”
“I didn’t think she was serious and then 15 minutes went by, and…I’m not sure where she went...”
Panic rustled in his chest. “Alright, and you saw her walk out the ranch, not anywhere else?” He shifted, handing Mor the feed. “And here, put this food in the barn. Just leave them inside the feed room. I’ll get to it later.”
Mor grunted, the heaviness catching her slightly off balance. “Where are you going?”
“To find Nesta. Unless you want to call Feyre on how you lost her sister.”
His friend quickly turned around, heading to the barn.
His foot tapped, thinking.
Nesta couldn’t have gone far…Downtown is about a twenty minute walk from here. It’s the closest place to buy a drink..
Cassian pulled out his phone, calling her. It went straight to voicemail.
“Shit.” He dialed a second time, but was left with the voicemail again. He sighed as he stayed on the line.
“Hey Sweetheart, I don’t know where you are, but you need to get your butt back over here at the ranch…I’ll see you soon.”
His hand pulled at the ponytail from the half-up half-down look. Biting his lip, Cassian raced through his options. He could call the cops, but that could make everything worse for Nesta. And after her AA meeting earlier in the week, she seemed to be doing a little better. Was this all for nothing? His other hand hovered over Rhys’ name in his contacts.
Fear brewed as Cassian recalled that he had faced this before, losing someone out in the field during a battle. But what started as a rescue assignment turned into a recovery mission. The fallen soldier was eventually found far out west of the base. The state of his body…Cassian shook his head, not wanting to relive it again.
I’m not there anymore. He took a deep breath before running up to the house. As he ran, Azriel came flying out of the door.
“Emerie just called.” Azriel said, sounding a little breathless.
“Emerie as in Rip’s daughter, Emerie?” Cassian questioned.
“The only Emerie we both know who has the ranch’s number. Nesta’s with her.”
Cassian blinked, the shocked settling in. “She knew how to get there?”
Azriel shrugged. “Maybe Emerie mentioned it at AA. But we can discuss that later.”
The brothers hopped into the truck before taking off down the road.
**
The door to the truck flew open as Cassian jumped out. Standing on the store’s porch was Nesta. Behind her stood Emerie.
“Where the fuck have you been?” Cassian shouted. Frustration and worried mixed, but it was only anger that dripped from his words. His gaze titled down, finding two glass bottles on the ground.
Cassian’s body shook, unable to hide his wrath. “You were drinking?!”
Nesta looked down, not saying anything. Her arms crossed over her chest.
“Nesta, get in the truck.” Azriel called out, climbing out the driver seat. His black stetson hat blended with the night sky.
Nesta didn’t look back as she got in through the passenger door side, sliding to the middle. Cassian began to sneer when Azriel approached him.
Emerie glared at Cassian. “She was with me the entire time, Valyrian. She hasn’t had one sip. You know this is a dry store.”
Azriel nodded, picking up one of the bottles. “We would’ve smelled the alcohol on her. This is pop. She isn’t drunk, Cass.” His tone was almost a warning to his brother.
Cassian wrestled trying to find the right words. His ears shaded pink in embarrassment. “I’m sorry, Emerie.” He stood as the regret of his words sunk deep. “Thank you for looking out for her.” He spoke gently to Emerie. “I’m sorry that I yelled and accused her of drinking.”
Emerie rolled her eyes. “I don’t care that you yelled, I care that you accused my friend. And more importantly you should be apologizing to her. Not the other way around, General .” Cassian’s old nickname from high school rolled off her tongue like it was nothing.
Cassian mumbled, agreeing with Emerie before he and Azriel got back into the truck.
The truck ride home was the most silent 2 minute car drive Cassian had ever been on. Not soon enough they pulled up onto the long driveway. Cassian didn’t spot the red car in the lot anymore. Mor must have left then. Probably for the best..
The three left the truck. Nesta stormed away, heading to the house. Cassian started to follow, reaching for her hand, but Azriel stepped in front of him, blocking his path. At this angle he could see the slight differences in their height.
“Leave her alone tonight. It’s been a long day for everyone. Talk to her in the morning.”
Cassian sighed, his anxiety spiking.
“Let’s take care of the horses for now. It’ll distract you.” Azriel moved past him, but soon turned around.
“You may also want to take your lessons and learn from them. Whatever you said about the damn horse in the corral, apply it to Nesta. She’s not broken, but no one becomes an alcoholic for shits and giggles. You of all people should know that.”
Cassian grimaced, the toll of his emotions from the evening wearing him down like rocks under water. He felt his brother’s hand on his good shoulder.
“Let her come to you, Cass. When she’s ready.”
“When did you become the smart one?” Cassian questioned, cocking his head to the side.
His brother let go of his shoulder, heading towards the barns.
As Azriel walked he called out. “I have two very idiotic brothers. Someone has to be the smart one out of the three of us.”
Cassian agonized replaying the moments with Nesta in his mind. The emotion was so much, the dull familiar pain in his shoulder ached. He groaned, massaging his bad shoulder. The chronic aching had returned like clockwork.
Glancing up the meadow of stars above him, a soft voice called out from his memory. The voice felt almost like it was from a different lifetime, combing through the ridges of his childhood.
“Today was bad, Cassian. But that means tomorrow can be better.”
Cassian turned, his gaze settling onto the mare in the corral. She wasn’t pacing as much, but she refused to stand still. Her big brown eyes watched him, as if something or someone was communicating with him.
“And if the next day is bad, you don’t give in. Keep reaching for tomorrow.”

The Horses
I almost forgot the most important cast! The horses!!! As a heads up this fic is a modern AU of the SJMU so all of the countries and such are still refenced in the fic. With that being said I've taken some creative liberties on "creating" horse breeds in this world. Some I've left alone and some I've altered the name completely.
(From left to right)
Odysseus - Cassian's Fresian. Mainly used in trail riding (Cassian's not much of a competitor in equestrian sports)
Penelope - The most recent horse Cassian bought in hopes of therapy training. (Thoroughbred)
Flame - Nesta's Summer Court Warmblood (RIP)
Singer - Azriel's Lusitano. Mainly used in western equestrian sports (The Az girlies might go feral)
I'll try to update this post when more horses tend to show up.

Hiii everyone!
After seeing @c-e-d-dreamer make Wip Wednesday posts, I wanted to partake too <3 They seem like fun. :D Anyway enjoy this snippet from chapter two of Flying Changes (Nessian Equestrian AU)
The woman stared at Nesta. “Sorry about that, but you must be the new ranch hand that Cassian mentioned. Nesta stared back at her. “I’m sorry, who are you?” She crossed her arms. “I’m Dr. Gwyneth Berdara. But most call me Gwyn.” “Aren’t you a little young to be a doctor?” The woman, Gwyn, scuffed. “Actually, I’m pretty sure I’m older than you…you…I’m sorry, Cassian never mentioned your name.” “It’s Nesta.” “Well, Nesta. It’s not really any of your business how old I am now is it? Oh she has a mouth for sure. Nesta opened her lips to bark an insult, but she soon closed them. “I’m not wasting my time on this. Besides, you won't like how I continue speaking to you. Most don’t anyway.” Gwyn wore a daring grin. “Try me.” Nesta growled “Go fuck yourself.” “Oooh you’re good. Well, Nesta I best be off.” Gwyn laughed before walking off to the barn.

I was proud of this little passage I wrote for chapter three of Flying Changes <3 I know its not Wip Wednesday, but I'm sharing it anyway. Call it Sip Wip Sunday.
Cassian blinked, unsure what his answer would imply. “I thought getting her to work would help with the withdrawal. Feyre mentioned she had been to three different rehabs in the last two years. Everytime Nesta left she would drink again.” He sighed. “I didn’t know what I was going up against. I quit drinking mid deployment and the work kept me busy.”
“She’s no soldier, Cassian.”
Madja crossed her arms over her chest. “The labor probably caused the body to begin stressing earlier than expected. Eitherway, we’re here now. You’re lucky I have experience with this.”
She looked over to a photograph on the wall of Ramiel, the biggest mountain in the Night Court. Caleum Valyrian picked up photography after he stopped drinking when his wife Arwen, announced she was pregnant with a daughter; Rhys’ sister, Artemis. Caleum had taken the photo the night before her birth.
Chapter two will be posted within the next few days <3

Hiii Everyone!
For today's #WipWednesday post I've decided to share something from chapter four which I'm currently drafting. Needless to say, the girls are fighting. Enjoy <3
Then the music stopped as the wire to her earbuds were yanked. Startled, Nesta scrambled to stand, meeting blonde hair and glaring brown eyes. She stood up fully, tucking her phone back in her pocket.
“Can I help you?” Nesta asked.
“You can help the ranch. Breaktime is over.” The woman said.
Nesta recognized the designer logos on the woman’s outfit and accessories. Who the fuck brought Barbie Karen out here?
“Excuse me, but you don’t order me around.”
“I do when my cousin owns this ranch. I do when my best friend has had to suffer from not just alcoholic parents, but her sister too.”
Guilt slid right to her heart at the mention of her family. Shifting to her left, Nesta stared at the woman in front of her. She looked oddly familiar, remembering a familiar blonde on Feyre’s instagram. Ranging from posts featuring the City of Starlight to late night stories. Her stomach twirled with slight envy whenever they appeared on her feed. She raised an eyebrow at the woman as she tried to recall her name.
Michelle? Monica?
Nesta glared at the woman. “I don’t know why you’re being such a busybody? And in any case, I follow Cassian’s orders.”
The woman glared right back. “Cass and Az went to the tack shop a few towns over to buy more feed or whatever.” She glanced down at her manicured nails before continuing. “It doesn't matter. Cass put me in charge of you. As a reminder, you were sent here to work. Not to look at ponies all day.”
The guilt dried out as anger brewed over it, swelling in Nesta’s stomach and mind. Her hands curled into fists. As emotions rose, so did the familiar wanting waves of liquor Nesta knew she should ignore.
