Meanwhile, Nesta is out here making friends like nobody's business: Gwyn, Emerie, the Valkyries, Clotho (really it feels like Nesta's befriended all the priestesses except Merrill), Bryce, Ember, Randall.

And then, of course, there's Eris, who wants to marry her after only three dances.

One last Nesta for @nestaarcheronweek

Ember really looked like she might cry now, especially as she turned back to Nesta and said, “This time with you was a gift, Nesta. It truly was.”

With that, she pulled Nesta to her in a tight embrace, and Bryce could have sworn something like pain and longing crossed Nesta’s expression. Like she hadn’t experienced a mom-hug for a long, long time.

For today, @melphss and I commissioned, with our dear friend Lib, an illustration very close to our hearts, of Ember, the wonderful person that she is, ensuring that Nesta knew the gift that simply being with her was and giving her in return a mother’s affection in a hug, something that Nesta clearly missed.

Like... why did she write ACOSF giving Cassian and Nesta the worst love story of all time but still a full "happy ending" — saving Feysand’s life and everything — just to then drop bonus chapters (for another franchise!!) where Nesta looks sad as hell and is being treated badly again??

And we don’t even know if it’ll ever be addressed or if we’re just supposed to sit here and accept it.

Then I saw a comment saying “In that scene Nesta is probably pregnant and insecure about it.” And honestly???? What a terrible plot idea. But at this point... anything is possible when SJM is the author and seems determined to turn my personal nightmares into story.

Feyre’s Adult Daycare—today’s art class prompt was “paint something that stresses you out” and it turns out that Ember and Cassian have something in common… The biggest source of stress in both of their lives, at the moment, is Bryce Quinlan. 😂
