⊹nesta x azriel⊹

He buys her a present, knowing full well she didn't get him one (not out of any ill intent, but just because she wasn't planning on going to the party). He gifts it to her in front of everyone. And it's not just any present that could be gifted to anyone, but it's specific to Nesta. A present that he knew she would love and treasure because he pays attention to her and cares about her. Her reaction is priceless. Nesta - who's not keen on physical affection - leaps up and throws her arms around Azriel, and Az - who's also not big on physical affection - pulls her in for an embrace and gives her a gentle squeeze 🥰

In HOFAS, Az tries so hard to coax the Mask off Nesta, not even moving away when she could kill him with one swipe of Ataraxia. When Nesta finally takes the Mask off, he catches her before she falls, bringing her tightly to his chest, and gently strokes her hair 😍

Thinking about how if Nesta was the heroine instead of Feyre, her dynamics with characters could have been very different and she could have been living that fairytale romances she reads about.

Nesta would have been the perfect Beauty and the Beast archetype and it would have been so interesting to see what she would have done given she was so strong willed to see through glamour. Plus she’s intelligent and curious, which could have led to more world building exploration.

If Nesta was the leading lady, I would have loved to see how she would have handled Amarantha and early Rhysand. The riddle would probably been simple for her.

If Rhysand x Nesta was a thing, he’d have a harder time manipulating her and it’d truly be an enemies to possibly lovers.

Tamlin x Nesta would have been so interesting. Lucien x Nesta would have been fun to watch them banter. I still think SJM was wrong to think they’d tear each other apart. Maybe Eris x Nesta could have gonna better. Maybe Cassian wouldn’t have been so volatile to Nesta since the Feyre bias wouldn’t be involved. Azriel x Nesta should just be a thing. Period. 😂

Literally so much potential.

Nesta is such an interesting character and it’s be interesting to see how things would be different if Feyre’s bias against her wasn’t leading the interactions most characters have with her. It would have been interesting to see how she handled her childhood trauma in a different context.

A girl can dream…

The fact that both Az and Nesta are canonically interested and fascinated by history, constellations and different worlds, only for Cassian to either forget or shut off any questions

I’m just glad Nesta and Azriel got to experience their little history crash course together in hofas. Even though they had to deal with

A) Bryce

B) a Daglan

Because I fear the people’s desires do not match the number of fics we have, and I might… want to help with that 👀✍️
