"Nesta is an Elriel"

Guys.....Nesta is canonically a Nessriel. She ships Azriel with herself and Cassian before anyone else.

Okay so, I’m horrible when it comes to bookmarks, but I definitely have Nessian fics I’m obsessed with lately! (I’d suggest going through these authors’ entire catalogues, because I literally drop everything when any of them updates or posts something new, but I’ll try (and fail) to stick to one per author otherwise I’ll still be here tomorrow)

- @theteaqueendom’s I Could Find You, Darling, In Any Life (honorable mention for The Whole Truth, which was finished recently and had me feral).

- @wishcamper’s smoke signals. Read it, it’s the best. Bi!Cassian struggling through life, finding love and trying to figure it out. It’s amazing. (Also eagerly awaiting In the bulrushes, but in a patient way).

- @jsmelodies’ devils, where Nesta’s from the Hewn City and Cassian is a man with the concept of a plan (how we love him best), seeing her and going that’s my WIFE (mate). It’s delicious.

- @janearts’ A Court of Steel and Flame, which is an amazing ACOSF rewrite/fix-it with jaw-dropping art that you can find on tumblr. Girl really can do it all.

- @whyisaravenlike-awritingdesk’s Hold Me Like A Knife because Viking!Cassian is one of the hottest things I’ve ever read and they’re delicious together.

- @unhealthyfanobsession has me obsessed with a new wip My Kingdom Come Undone, which vibes remind me of Disney’s Sleeping Beauty and it’s everything.

- @c-e-d-dreamer’s When We Howl The Moon Will Cower. Werewolf Cassian and Witch Nesta, and all I’ll say is I want to be the meat of their sandwich. I’m not kidding when I say I’m obsessed with this.

- @dustjacketmusings’ Baby, Don’t Hang Up. Nessian being dumb and ignoring feelings, is there anything better? The shenanigans and smut are like cakes I stuff my face full of every single time I read this.

- @jellybeanjellyfishblog’s A Court Of Fallen Stars. An ACOSF rewrite, with Nesta in Day, taking place 10 years after ACOWAR.

- @xxvalkyriesxx Flying Changes. Equestrian Nesta is charged with community service at Cassian’s range. Forced proximity my beloved.

- @moodymelanist’s Freak Like Me. Domme Nesta, need I say more? The smut is unparalleled, and they haven’t even gotten to the good stuff yet (except all that has happened has been the good stuff too).

- @ncssian’s Take The Long Way Home. An angsty, achingly sad but hot and beautiful modern au that I am obsessed with. (Also check out Better Man because the latest update was ah-maze)

I’m tossing in some Nessriel too, because these three have me obsessed as well:

- @acourtofladydeath’s Take These Broken Wings. Devastating, heartbreakingly beautiful. Starts out Nessian, turns Nessriel. Won’t spoil too much but get ready to be destroyed and put back together in the best way.

- @thesistersarcheron’s viciousness & intelligence. My first Nessriel and it’ll forever live rent free.

- @wishcamper’s silverfish. Wet cat Az, need I say more?

Happy reading, anon! Thank you for the ask! And again, check out these wonderful artists’ entire catalogues ✨

anon. ANON. ANON. you don’t know how much of a frenzy this ask worked the Nesta girlies into omg. also major shoutouts to @wishcamper, @janearts, and @dustjacketmusings for all of our musings about this lol

tw for dubcon. this got a little uh… away from me

“Are you sure you’re okay, Nesta?”

Nesta opened her eyes to see her baby sister standing in front of her, concern written all over her face. “I’m okay, Fey. I think the red army is just getting a head start or something.”

Everyone had gathered at Rhys and Feyre’s mansion for a family dinner, something that Nesta enjoyed and loathed in equal parts. It was no secret that she and Rhys didn’t get along well, but at least she and Feyre had been trying to mend their relationship. So Nesta showed up for the dinners and the game nights and the impromptu gatherings with a placid smile on her face, trying to play the part of older sister, when really she’d much rather be far, far away from most of Feyre’s new, chosen family.

Naturally, Cassian had found a way to make the entire thing more enjoyable — at least, for him. He thoroughly enjoyed working her up in front of everyone, whether it was carefully timed needling or something decidedly more physical. Sometimes it was poking fun at her until she whirled on him and told him to shut the fuck up, and other times it was trying to ignore his hand on her thigh while they sat in Rhys’ opulent dining room.

Whatever it was, it kept her in his bed more often than not.
