#highking

AU = alternative universe WHAT IF :

After Nesta & Cassian are married, they split up - you can say it was because they were put in an impossible position like Helion and the Lady of the Autumn Court OR Rhysand’s war plans with Koschei tear them apart OR something happens that makes Rhysand say F U to Nesta even though he owes her his and his family’s life and yeets her from the Night Court OR you decide

THEN Nesta is cast back to Prythian, but Rhysand isn’t HIGH KING, so he can only really keep her out of ALLIED lands, if that (cause our boy Helion still wants a slice).

SOMEHOW, Nesta and Eris find each other in Spring Court whilst Tamlin doesn’t have himself together and start chatting prior to Cassian or whoever decides to show up for their secret meetup.

The two chat it off and Eris convinces Nesta to head back to the Autumn Court with him, therefore missing his secret meeting (subtly telling the Night Court to piss off by doing this)

Lord Beron MEETS Nesta, and they end up playing MASSIVE court politics during her entire stay there, but she’s fed and clothed

In secret, Nesta and Eris are planning for his take-down BY THEMSELVES, aka without the Night Court and outsiders

Nesta being the “witch” she is, creates a potion to enhance Eris’ powers that can only be made once (obviously)

PLUS, Nesta is still in control of an ENTIRE Dead Trove and steals it from the Night Court's possession the moment Eris sits on the throne as High Lord.

They attack during a ball celebrating their coming union with Autumn Court officials/royals/nobility and SUCCEED

Eris is now High Lord of Autumn Court

High Lord Eris has the entire remaining court’s attention and states his future wife is Nesta Archeron

The marriage ceremony would take place the next day leaving little to no time for interference.

He marries Nesta and announces it to the world AFTER THEY HAVE WED even mentioning that Nesta currently possesses the Dead Trove (it’s politics, after all) - they kept it quiet since everyone in the Night Court thought Nesta was still in Prythian or managed to leave the continent or whatever

Maybe even Nesta becomes a High Lady herself

The two already have Lord Keir and the Court of Nightmares in their pocket

The Valkyries decide to stick with Nesta over the bargain they made or make. #girlpower #alwaysstickingtogether #newfamily

The alliances between the Night Court and other courts would now be vulnerable

Each court must decide which court to pledge allegiance to 

Autumn Court - Risk death by Nesta with the Dead Trove and Eris’ growing flames

Night Court - War from the Night Court

High Lord Eris & (High Lady) Nesta seeing each other as equals in power (you could say the two fell in love or hold equal blackmail on the other therefore never betraying one another), gather allies from across the world without the Night Court, until THEY become THE ultimate power.

Meanwhile, Cassian is fuming about Nesta being with Eris especially after he called the man a coward for not already killing his abusive father (like okay Cas, not everyone can/will do that)

Mor & Cassian get into multiple fights about what he sees in her other than being his mate to the point the entire IC gets involved.

Amren is saying stuff like, “how typical of Nesta to only think about power and herself” but you’d mix in Nesta being poorly treated by the Night Court a month after her mating ceremony - Why? You decide

Elain as a Seer already knows which way this will end, but keeps her mouth closed

Feyre tries sending letters to her sister, Nesta, but after the first few, all letters from the Night Court are burned without regard to their contents (this could be a Lord Beron order or simply out of safety or whatever).

Rhysand is having to plan a hostile take over as his enemies start popping up from all sides of the globe, enemies Nesta & Eris will have to face as well.

Azriel is working himself ill to keep the Night Court as up to date on foreign and domestic issues

THEY BATTLE Koschei or whatever other evil comes up and take him or them DOWN together

End of the war, Nesta ends up PREGNANT! with Eris’s baby (no affairs shall be had here)

Slowly, but surely, the Night Court loses power and crumbles itself from within as the new leaders of Prythian arise (this can be before or after the final battle). 

Epilogue - X years later, Eris & Nesta are a formidable force with a massive kingdom and talented offspring that inherited their gifts (you decide which ones)

HIGH KING AND QUEEN, Eris & Nesta

Alright people, I know many of you don't like the idea of Rhys being the high king, the hint for which Sarah just dropped in #acosf but I think he would be the best high king prythin could ever get.

Just think about it. He was the one who knew about Amarantha's plan even during under the mountain as well as the threat the king of hybern posed.

He was the one who gathered all of the prythin when the high lords were just content ruling over their own territories and knew nothing of the impending war upon them. I know the night court is supposed to be the hero but still it's like they r just concerned with their particular courts and don't tread any further.

Even in acosf, he is the one who's doing everything to avoid a new war. Eris does helps and knows about it because he's father is involved. And no other high lord is privy to this and neither do they know what is happening outside of their territories.

A good ruler would be the one who's willing to do anything and even sacrifice himself for the good of their people which is who Rhys is.

I know that many people hold this against Rhys that he only shielded velaris during Amarantha's reign but something is better than nothing. This scene is also explained in the series when Rhys admits that he did what he could and carried the weight of not saving the others with him.

Let's also not forget that Rhys could have allied with hybern and avoided the war all together but he thought about all of the prythin and also about the humans.

He did made a few bad choices but who doesn't? Even the most wisest kings make bad decisions once in a while but Rhys does what needs to be done for the greater good.

Not to mention that the beasts carved into the pillars in hewn City are the same ones who were present in the great history of prythin and Nesta is also shown them when she's in prison. I think that Rhys is meant to be the high king and this also has to do with his ancestors history with that of the only high king prythin ever saw. I also have a theory that the high king that existed before is Rhys's ancestor or something.

Magica Scozia

Magic Scotland

Glencoe, Highlands

marzo 2020 E’ MAGIA, E’ MOZZAFIATO, E’ IPNOTICA in una parte del mondo meravigliosa e selvaggia, dove strette valli si incontrano e scontrano lascionado corsi d’acqua e laghetti cristallini. Con colline spolverate di neve che creano ancor di piu uno scenario magico e fatato. Io amo la Scozia. Glencoe e le Highlands sono facilmente raggiungibili da Edimburgo o Glasgow se si noleggia una macchina o se si preferisce fare un bus tur giornaliero che porta fin su a nord e ritorno dalle 2 citta’ principali. Ecco un suggerimento https://www.visitscotland.com/info/tours/loch-ness-glencoe-and-the-highlands-day-tour-9823dcaa https://www.visitscotland.com/destinations-maps/glencoe/

“King of Filory"

Okay but something that has bugged me in the Narnia fandom for forever is how almost everyone labels Peter as the prideful hothead.

It’s like, yes, he does have tendencies to be over dramatic or brash but let’s not forget the fact that he is 30 something year old man forced to live in a world without magic as a teenager when he is the rightful king of a magical realm that he feels like he’s abandoned. He’s trying to protect his siblings and fit back into the ordinary and dangerous world of WWII London while trying to cope with his guilt and fear that he’ll never see Narnia again.

So when he finally returns and sees the state of decay and how the people, ‘His’ people, have been driven from their homes and hunted like wild beasts by the Telmarines, he’s understandably angry and feels responsible... He didn’t mean to leave them, but he did, and he feels the weight of it. Everything he does from that point on is, in his eyes, for the good of his people. Whether it gets him killed in the process or not. He wants to be the king he should have been, he’s trying to make up for the time that’s past. Bring back the golden era but it’s gone and the more he realizes that the more reckless he becomes. His heart has always been with Narnia and the only thing he truly wants is the safety and happiness of his family and his people no matter the cost.
