Now that I’ve let Sarah’s podcast digest and some of the comments settle down, here’s what I’d like to see in the next two books especially since book 7 is like 900 pages
* Elaine and Lucien
* I want to see where their mating bond goes. If Elaine decides not to reject the bond, I don’t want it to be a straight line of “yes I accept the bond” I want longing, yearning, angst, anger, sadness, finding oneself, a roller coaster of emotions between both of their POVs.
* I want Elaine to get out of the Night Court and explore not just Prythian, but also parts of the human world. I want her to go on a trip to visit the flowers she was going to see with her dad.
* I want Elaine to stop being babied by her sisters (and by extension everyone in the IC). She’s a grown adult, she doesn’t need to be constantly watched.
* I don’t want just her to accept the bond, I want Lucien to accept it too. The decision isn’t just hers, it’s his too and from the small snippet we’ve seen in his mind, he’s nowhere near in the right mindset to have a mate. I want the bond to be accepted based on a mutual decision, not just because it’s supposed to be.
* If the bond isn’t accepted, I’d rather Elaine be single and enjoy her life rather than be with Az (I’m just not a fan of them being together and as far as we know he’s still hung up on Mor, but he has A LOT of things to work through to be honest)
* Nesta and Cassian
* I want more romance between them and not just warrior training and smut. Nesta is a romance girlie and I want to see her getting wooed by her man.
* I want Cassian to stand up to Rhys more when it comes to her. In SF, there were moments where I feel like he could’ve stood up to her rather than take Rhys’s side. If the roles were reversed, Rhys wouldn’t stand for anyone coming down on his mate, so I’m gonna need Cassian to do the same.
* More scenes with Nesta, Gwyn, and Emerie. I love their friendship and fond family dynamic and I want to see more of that.
* Idk if it’s going to happen, but I’d love for Nesta and the Valkyries to go to different courts and help other women who need it and also help the Illyrian women and stop their wing clippings somehow. It’s definitely a long shot, but I think it’d be cool if Nesta became the leader of the Illyrian women and they can all be badasses together
* I want to see where Nesta’s powers are at since she gave a majority of them up to save Feyre
* Less Feyre and Rhys. Their story concluded nicely with their baby and nice house so they don’t need to be the center of the storyline anymore. Let’s start looking at other characters
* I want Nesta to be treated more nicely and given the grace Elaine and Feyre get. It’s not fair that Rhys dogs on her, especially after saving both his wife and child, so I’d like there to be some sort of kindness given to her.
* Eris and Lucien showing off their brother dynamic. It’s obvious Eris cares for Lucien in a way none of their other brothers do so I’d like to see more of that.
* Beron dies and Eris takes over the Autumn Court. Helion dies and Lucien takes over the Day Court.
* Lucien knows his dad is Helion he’s smart and I’m pretty sure he’s put two and two together but hasn’t said anything in order to protect his mom. Eris knows too.
* A side story of Bryaxis frolicking and living her best life. Also wanting to know what Cassian saw when he saw her.
* Jurian and Vassa getting together. Sorry to the people who ship Vassa, a mortal, with Lucien, an immortal, but it doesn’t make sense to pair those two together.
* I want to know what Lucien and Elaine’s dad talked about and deal was struck in order to get Vassa out. Those two clearly did something and I think Elaine is tied to it somehow.
* LEAVE TOG ALONE!!!!! I think ToG ended on a good note and I’d hate for them to have to fight in another war when they don’t need to. As much as Aelin had to fight tooth and nail to get her kingdom back, I’d hate for her to have fight again and leave her kingdom behind. Also I’m not really a fan of world mixing. Storylines get messy, character developments get lost and it starts to get confusing. I’d only accept a crossover if it’s done really, really, good and actually makes sense.
* I want to know what followed Mor when she was riding her horse at her house.
* What happened between Mor and Eris??????
* More moments with Az and his mom
* Getting out of the Night Court and exploring the other courts as well as the human world. There so much out there and we’ve mainly been in the NC, and I’d love it if we can see some of the other high lords in their elements somehow.
* I wouldn’t be opposed to Eris and Az being together. I can see that they’d match each others freak and just imagine the power dynamics they’d have in the Autumn Court once Eris takes over.
* I want the Archeron sisters to FINALLY have a heart to heart conversation and talk about their relationship and issues they have with each other because it’s clear that A LOT of miscommunication and misunderstanding has happened between them and I need to just air it all out, especially Feyre and Nesta.
* Koschei (I think that’s how you spell the name) and his story. Also wanting to know how Vassa ended up with him. I think the war between him and Prythian is gonna be interesting.
Cassian fully believed his girlfriend was a demon.
Not in the bad sense of the thing, even though whenever he told her that she would reply by saying that there wasn’t a good sense in that. No, Cassian just believed that Nesta could not be human. There was a series of reasons to that, but the biggest one was that his girlfriend couldn’t be scared.
Haunted houses, horror movies, pranks, jump scares… Nothing drew more than a simple frown from Nesta. Cassian just knew that she could walk into Hell itself and probably scare the Devil before being scared by him.
And so obviously, Cassian spent the whole month of October trying to scare her.
He didn’t do it as much during the rest of the year, but there was something about Halloween season that just made him insanely tempted to giive Ness a good fright. She wasn’t like Feyre who hated scary pranks, or like Elain who would scream and laugh seconds later. Nests didn’t react, and so she didn’t particularly care if Cassian tried to scare her or not.
“I’ll get you this year.” Cassian said, eyes narrowed as he stared at Nesta.
She only smiled sarcastically over her coffee mug, reading the news on her phone. “You couldn’t make me gasp from surprise even if your life depended on it, sweetheart.”
Cassian jaw fell slightly, and he crossed his arms over his chest. “I’m sorry?”
Nesta raised her icy grey-blue eyes to him, a light-brown eyebrow raised. “We know each other for seven years. We date for four. Tell me one time you got a reaction like that from scaring or surprising me. Let’s be honest, Cass, I can’t be scared and you have become predictable. It’s ok, it’s how our relationship works.”
“I will surprise you.”
“Uh-huh.” Nesta murmured, going back to her coffee and news.
“I mean it.”
“Of course you do.” Nesta’s ironic smile only grew. “Why don’t you go to Halloween spirit buy a Michael Myers mask? You can try catching me when I’m getting out of the bathroom. No, wait, this is not very original. Haven’t you done this already too? Like three times.”
Cassian huffed, getting up from the table. “You’ll see, Nesta Archeron.”
“Want to bet?”
He, stupidly and recklessly, assented. “Yes, I actually do.”
“Very well, name your conditions.” Nesta’s face was probably hurting from her smile.
“If I make you obviously surprised, and I mean even a gasp, I win. If by the end of the month this doesn’t happen, you win. The winner can ask anything and the loser has to say yes.”
Nesta raised her eyebrows, low laughs coming out of her. “Oh, I’m in. You’re so fucked.”
He walked out of the kitchen, Nesta’s laughs following him until he closed the bedroom’s door.
He would never admit it to anyone, especially to Nesta, but she was somewhat right. It’s not that Cassian had never tried to surprise her, but Nesta was always one step ahead, always noticing stuff he thought he had hidden well. She knew him way too well, and getting anything that would be actually surprising to her was near impossible.
And then there was the fact that Nesta couldn’t be scared. It wasn’t something solely based on Cassian, but just in general. Both Feyre and Elain would always tell the rest of their friend group that Nesta was never scared, especially during Halloween when she knew things were fake. She had been a serious kid, and nothing, absolutely nothing, would even force a surprised gasp out of her.
He was dating a goddamn evil genius, and he would need to step up his game a lot if he wished ti get Nesta to at least widen her eyes.
And so Cassian paced his room all throughout breakfast time. He mentally annotated some ideas for actual scares, but nothing that he truly believed that would make Ness surprised. After thirty minutes of nothing, he sighed, throwing himself on their bed.
At least he hadn’t bet with her.
Oh, wait.
—————
Nesta adored Halloween.
People usually believed that because of her serious demeanor, she was the type of person to hate the holiday, but to be honest, since she was a kid Nesta had loved Halloween time. She liked the autumn aesthetic, the elaborated decorations, the horror movie marathons. She loved the candy sales and how everyone was minding their own fucking business and not shoving their noses of hers.
Above all, Nesta adored Halloween because it never scared her.
Since she was little she would watch slasher movies and while her sisters squirmed and screamed, she was intently watching the story. Haunted houses in amusement parks were fun because of other people’s reactions, because they also always failed to make her jumpy. Spooky prank wars with her sisters was easy because they could never scare her, but were easily scared by her.
In short, Halloween was Nesta’s holiday and she made sure to enjoy every single second of October.
It also didn’t hurt how hilarious she found her boyfriend trying to scare her every year. At this point, he had already tried everything from masks to fake insects, jump scares to fake blood. He would even sometimes run out of ideas and repeat the same prank as if she would have magically grown terrified of plastic spiders. She found his dedication both cute and funny, but also effortless. She had gone twenty four years without falling for these pranks, and it was very unlikely that things would change now.
Sometimes she thought about asking Cassian to stop doing them. It was a waste of his money, but he seemed to enjoy them so much that Nesta just couldn’t bring herself to burst his bubble. There was also a very smug part of her that thrived on always winning their unspoken Halloween matches, but she’d never say this out loud if only to maintain her cold and detached nature about these childish pranks.
All those factors together were what made her, in the following morning, taste her sugar before pouring it into her coffee.
She turned to Cassian who was sitting at the table and intently not looking at her. “Really, Cassian? Salt instead of sugar? Not even my dad would fall for that one.”
Cassian scolded, but refused to look at her. Nesta simply smiled and laughed smugly, looking around the cabinets for what was labeled salt but was actually sugar.
“You got it on a Buzzfeed article, didn’t you? I told you those things will fry your brain and it’s not like you have neurons to spare.”
His head whipped in her direction, eyes narrowed and defiant. “I will surprise you, Nesta Archeron. You’re in for a fucking ride if you think not.”
Nesta smiled coyly, letting her coffee mug on the counter as she slowly walked to Cassian. “Really?”
“Yes.” His jaw was tight, but there was something about his expression that was slightly off, that was slightly different.
Ignoring the fact that she was probably being paranoid, Nesta laughed, sitting on Cassian’s lap and putting her arms around his shoulders. He was stiff under her, something that only made her laugh once more. “Cass, our relationship is not based on surprises. As much as it pains me to say, since the beginning you understood most of me, and I understood most of you. And that was a long time ago. There isn’t any aces to play, no rabbit inside the hat. Our relationship is transparent and it’s good that it’s this way.”
“You can still surprise me.” He grumbled.
“You are easily impressionable.”
“Fuck off.” Cassian’s brood broke, and he let out a huffed chuckle. “This has not convinced me to stop, just so you know.”
Nesta jumped off his lap, smirking as she went back to grab her coffee. “I never hoped it would.”
——————
It was October 31th finally.
As much as Nesta still believed she couldn’t be surprised, Cassian sure as hell was trying. Worst was, he wasn’t trying hard, he was just trying a lot.
In the past year the pranks were elaborate and hard to build, but this time they were… classics.
Fake bugs inside your drawers, mayo instead of toothpaste, garlic inside the Oreos. The type of shit that would make you want to throw the thing away, but not really the type of stuff to frighten you. He did buy some masks and put them in random places of the house to scare her, which obviously didn’t happen. He tried to get her scared by doing jump scares after they watched a horror movie, by turning on and off the lights whenever she was alone in a room. He tried the whole mirror thing that, whenever the bathroom was too hot, the words “help” would show up in it.
It was funny and he obviously thought about it, but there was something missing. There was something that was essentially Cassian not being put into those pranks. It’s like he was actually getting his ideas from Buzzfeed, and he would definitely know that none of those things would actually surprise her.
To be honest, she was somewhat disappointed. Nesta would never say it out loud, but she liked the pranks. It was a part of her relationship with Cassian since they started dating— before even— and this year it had been… boring, predictable.
Exactly what she had said it would be.
As she padded to the kitchen on Halloween morning, Nesta wondered if Cassian was doing it on purpose because of what she had said. Wondered if he had made it purposefully predictable to make her regret her own words.
She stopped in front of the fridge, shaking her head. This wasn’t Cassian’s style, no. If he was pissed about what she had said, he would have talked to her. The one in the relationship that usually brooded and was middle vindictive was her. A lot less than she was in the beginning of the relationship, and something she was constantly working on. It wasn’t that she was a mean person, but Nesta had learned to bottle her emotions so much, had learned to treat everyone so coldly as a defense mechanism, that sometimes she would panic and those would be her initial reactions.
It was a slow process— becoming more and more the person she wished to be. A lot of it had been done because of the amazing support she had from Cassian and from her sisters, but Nesta was also proud to recognize that a lot had to do with only herself.
No, Cassian wouldn’t be cruel and do something like that. Nesta knew this because, during the years that she took to overcome her trauma and get to know herself more, she had also gotten to know Cassian more. And he was never cruel, never mean.
Nesta shook her head, clearing her head of thoughts as she opened the fridge.
She could only stare at the jar in front of her, torn between sighing or laughing. She grabbed it, turning around to look at Cassian who had just entered the kitchen. “Really, Cass?”
Cassian huffed, spreading his arms. “Not even a gasp?!”
Nesta chuckled, setting the jar down on the counter. It was big and filled with a green liquid. What was supposed to be scary was the head inside that looked a lot like Rhysand’s. “Bold of you to assume I wouldn’t be happy if this was actually Rhys’s head.”
Cassian laughed, shaking his head. “You’ve got to let the grudge go.”
“I have!” Nesta deadpanned, examining the jar. “Most of the times, at least.”
“Well, looks like I failed.” Cassian said, and Nesta raised an eyebrow at his tone. He didn’t sound defeated, he sounded smug.
“Yes, you did.” Nesta announced, eyes narrowing at Cassian. “What the fuck are you smug about?”
His smile widened. “Nothing.”
“Fuck off, Cassian. If you honestly think I’ll let you surprise me on the last day, you’re mistaken.” Nesta rolled her eyes, turning back to the fridge to grab some grapes. “If you honestly think I’ll—“
And right there, for the first time in her entire life, Nesta found herself absolutely shocked when she turned around. A loud gasp left her mouth, the grapes she’d been holding falling to the ground and rolling all the way to where Cassian was kneeling, a complacent grin on his lips. He was holding a small black box, a simple silver band with small black diamonds on it.
“Well, well, well, Nesta Archeron. If that gasp wasn’t like fucking music to my ears.”
She placed a hand over her mouth, eyes wide. “Cassian…”
“If I remember our bet correctly, which I do,” he winked at her, holding the velvet black box higher. “I believe I had the right to anything I want and you have to say yes.”
Nesta let out an incredulous laugh, her head shaking. “I should have guessed that your shitty pranks weren’t because you were tired.”
Cassian threw his head back and laughed. “No, they weren’t. I thought that by making your expectations for pranks this year be lower, this whole thing would be more surprising.”
“Are you proposing to me only to win a bet, you asshole?”
Cassian grinned again, hazel eyes shining against his brown skin. “No, but you need to admit it has come in handy. I had been planning this for weeks, and then you asked if I wanted to bet I could surprise you. Honestly, you set yourself up to this. And I haven’t proposed yet, chill a little, woman.”
Nesta laughed again, eyeing Cassian. He was still wearing only the shorts he wore to bed, his shoulder-length hair a mess of curls. His face still looked slightly puffy, his usual sharp cheekbones red from happiness. Nesta guessed she wasn’t much better; she was wearing one of his white shirts, light brown hair falling down to her shoulders.
“So, are you going to ask or not? I don’t have all day.”
“So bossy, what am I getting myself into?” Cassian said ironically, but soon his face softened, smile becoming loving. “Nesta Archeron, even though you don’t have another option that it’s not a yes, would you give me the pleasure of marrying me so I can spend the rest of my Halloweens trying to scare you?”
Nesta chuckled merrily, nodding. “Yes, and even if I wasn’t forced to say yes because of this bet, I would have said it nonetheless.”
Cassian got up, immediately sliding the ring into Nesta’s finger, his other hand sneaking around her waist. He pulled her against him, a huge smile overtaking his mouth as he pressed his lips to hers. “I know you would. You’re not that unpredictable either, sweetheart.”
