Neris Fanfic Rec #1: The Price of the Ticket
(Artwork used with permission by @rosesncarnations!)
Greetings, Neris Nation, and welcome to our first ever Neris Week Featured Fic Showcase, where we will highlight some of the finest pieces of Neris fanfiction one can find on AO3!
There's a twist, though: we wanted to deviate away from the old fan favorites this year to shine the spotlight on fics - short and long, finished and still in progress - that you may or may not have seen before. So fire up your web browsers, block off some spare time, and join us as we present today's selection, the price of the ticket by our very own @macneiceisms!
If Eris couldn’t orchestrate the downfall of an airline, he’d settle for a drink, or a fuck. Whatever he could find first. With only a laptop bag, tomorrow’s suit, and a foul mood to his name, he set to reach the concierge.
Instead he found a pair of legs. A pair of perfect legs adorned in sheer black tights and very high heels, belonging to incandescent rage in a mini dress of mauve silk.
At Lucien and Elain’s wedding, Nesta finds herself without a room, and Eris finds himself without his suitcase.
We wanted to learn a little more about what inspired this absolute masterpiece, so we reached out to the @macneiceisms, who served us the tea:
"Truthfully, this fic was born during a very sleepless night at home for the holidays, while working on a canon universe Neris fic that's still too rough to go anywhere. I’d also recently reread a fic i loved from another fandom, and i was just seized with the idea of Eris and Nesta as two jetsetting workaholics coming together during a wedding. Slow burn, except they’re having sex the whole time. A chance to shamelessly trawl the seabed of useless things I know and write with a completely different tone than I usually go for. It’s been a lovely challenge and it’s been so so so much fun."
So what are you waiting for, people? Get out there and get reading! (And of course, don't forget to show @macneiceisms some love while you're there. ♥️🔥).
See you next week with more Featured Fics and as always: Let's Go Neris Nation!
