    Summary

    “Cass?” Nesta asked, her voice husky with exhaustion.

    Cassian’s heart fluttered to hear that nickname on her lips.

    “I’m here, Nes,” he replied.

    She reached out a thin hand, and he took it, cradling it as if it were the most precious thing in the world.

    “Will you -” she hesitated, her blue-grey eyes huge in her pale face.

    “Anything,” he promised, bringing her hand up to his mouth and kissing it tenderly. “Whatever you need.”

    “Will you stay?” she asked. “Just for tonight.”

    “I’ll stay as long as you want,” Cassian replied

    ---
    Instead of shouting at each other and throwing presents into the Sidra on Solstice, Nesta and Cassian spend the night together. But their night of passion has far reaching consequences, ones none of the Inner Circle could anticipate.

    Summary

    Nesta hasn’t heard the sound of a voice—familiar or otherwise—in five days. Not since Cassian slammed the balcony doors behind him on his way out after a particularly nasty argument, wingbeats like thunder retreating into the clouds.

    It seems that all she can do these days is anger the ones around her.

    She hasn’t left the House of Wind in two weeks. She hasn’t been allowed to. Not since Rhysand told her, voice black with rage, “If it wasn’t for Feyre, if you weren’t my brother’s mate, I would have had you executed for what you did.”

    Not since Amren said she belonged in one of the cells beneath the Court of Nightmares, because, “Some monsters don’t stay tamed, no matter how hard you try to civilize them.”

    Not since Mor stared at her and said to her cousin, “I don’t know why you’re surprised, Rhys. You’ve always known she’s reckless and useless in equal measure. She never did become one of us.”

    Not since Cassian stood in that same room and stayed silent.

    _____

    Even after the Mask is safely returned by Bryce, Nesta is confined to the House of Wind. Deciding enough is enough, she makes plans to sever something that was supposed to be her sacred forever.

    Summary

    A "dark" romantasy AU

    When Feyre gets stolen away from their cabin by a beast, and Nesta's father and sister have no memory of it, Nesta follows her baby sister herself over the wall. But instead of rescuing Feyre, Nesta gets kidnapped by Rhysand and tricked into a bargain for Feyre's life. She has to rely on her wits to survive Prythian and this evil faerie's mysterious intentions, first Under the Mountain and then the Night Court.

    Rhysand can't rationalize why he stole a snarling mortal girl away from the Spring Court. But when he drags her Under the Mountain, first to toy with her and then for some real companionship while in Amarantha's claws, he begins to realize that this odd mortal is more important to him than he wishes her to be.

    Summary

    Nesta falls off a cliff and dies while she’s on that terrible hike. There is also more of a plot, but honestly a big part of this is me getting mad yet again about the hike scene.

    Summary

    Nesta Archeron is mated, miserable, and thoroughly done pretending otherwise. So she does what any reasonable person would do—she walks out on her mate and her problems.
    Unfortunately, one of those problems comes with red hair, a sharp tongue, and the title of Autumn Court heir.
    Eris Vanserra is insufferable. Calculating. Smug. And, irritatingly, the only person who seems to actually see her.
    What starts as mutual disdain quickly turns into something far more inconvenient. Because it’s one thing to hate someone—
    It’s another thing entirely when they start to feel like freedom.

    Now Nesta has a choice: stay bound to fate… or pick the male who chooses her right back.
