@nessianweek | Day 05: Behind Closed Doors

Sarah J Maas was once asked during an interview, “What would be the perfect modern-day dates for the ACOMAF couples?”

Sarah said that, “Nesta and Cassian would go to a private island or the Maldives where they would have some quality time alone” 😉☺️

@/kotikomori nailed this perfectly, and showed the sweetness of their mate bond. Thank you @/kotikomori for this devastatingly beautiful artwork of Nesta and Cassian!

@nessianweek | Day Five: Behind Closed Doors

My first idea for this art was to focus on the dialogue from the Acosf Prison scene, where Cassian says “I can’t risk you” and this phrase was repeated at a time when they were alone, after Bryce returned the mask to Nesta, because I believe it is one of the reasons, among others, for Cassian to be “the most furious” person with Nesta in that situation. However, the same Acosf Prison scene develops in a way that allows me to believe that Cassian recognizes that he should believe her. So I decided that, in response to Nesta’s “I’m fine” after the worlds were safe, in part because of the decision she made, he would again respond with an “I don’t know why I doubted you”, because I want Cassian to increasingly allow himself to consider Nesta’s perspective first, instead of criticizing her in favor of others, especially in cases where she is the most appropriate person to assess the situation.

My dear Jaque made this wonderful illustration, which I was super excited to share, and I don’t have enough words to praise and thank her.

Happy final day of @nessianweek from myself and @melphss 🩵 We agreed that if there's one thing that Nesta and Cassian deserve after the events of canon, it's a nice honeymoon! A relaxing vacation where they can be soft and happy and in love and mated 🥺

They stroll through the streets of the Day Court, and Nesta makes them stop at every book store, but Cassian doesn't mind because he loves the way she smiles and her blue eyes spark when a particularly good book grabs her attention. He then buys out the whole store just for her like the simp he is

A very big thank you to @/lamonyo for working with us to bring this scene to life and create this breathtaking art! 😍

Nessian Week Day 5: Behind Closed Doors

Nesta and Cassian building a life together of love and kindness and vulnerability after all they've both been through is something that can be so personal 🥹 soft Nessian is my favorite Nessian

@nessianweek | Day 5: Behind Closed Doors

After a long day of training, Nesta likes nothing more than to curl up with a good book. Cassian is content to watch his mate in her most relaxed and unguarded state.

Nessian Week Day 3: Symphony

"For it was music between their souls. Always had been."

One of my favorite parts of ACOSF is when Cassian gives Nesta a Symphonia. It's such a meaningful gift for her ❤️🥹
