Summary
“Who is she anyway?” The boy asked as they walked away. “Why do we care about some witch on a mountain?”
“She’s not just any witch,” the girl replied, as if it were obvious. “She’s Lady Death.”
Nesta blinked, straightened, and took a moment to process the words.
Lady Death.
At once, the magic in her chest jolted – as if called.
The witch in the mountain.
The witch in the mountain was… her?

Summary
Gwyn and her moody teenage daughter move to Velaris to find someone to teach her how to fly.
Spoiler Alert: Azriel obviously takes the job!
___________________“Are you ready to see your new room?”
Juno answered with a dramatic eye roll and folded her arms in a huff. She turned to walk into their new apartment, nearly hitting Gwyn with her leathery wings as she did.
Why hadn’t anyone told Gwyn how awful she’d feel as a mother when her daughter became a teenager? Everything she did was wrong, uncool, or embarrassing. Although maybe Juno had the right to be upset with her this time.

Tharion Ketos drifted through life, unmoored and untethered. Even a betrothal to a princess wasn’t enough to keep him from going with his own flow. Water, after all, is the most powerful force on Migard.
Well, all except one.

Summary
Nesta hasn’t heard the sound of a voice—familiar or otherwise—in five days. Not since Cassian slammed the balcony doors behind him on his way out after a particularly nasty argument, wingbeats like thunder retreating into the clouds.
It seems that all she can do these days is anger the ones around her.
She hasn’t left the House of Wind in two weeks. She hasn’t been allowed to. Not since Rhysand told her, voice black with rage, “If it wasn’t for Feyre, if you weren’t my brother’s mate, I would have had you executed for what you did.”
Not since Amren said she belonged in one of the cells beneath the Court of Nightmares, because, “Some monsters don’t stay tamed, no matter how hard you try to civilize them.”
Not since Mor stared at her and said to her cousin, “I don’t know why you’re surprised, Rhys. You’ve always known she’s reckless and useless in equal measure. She never did become one of us.”
Not since Cassian stood in that same room and stayed silent.
_____
Even after the Mask is safely returned by Bryce, Nesta is confined to the House of Wind. Deciding enough is enough, she makes plans to sever something that was supposed to be her sacred forever.

Summary
It’s been 15 years of steady waters for Prythian and those who reside there.
For the Fae around her, this time could have passed during the space between one breath and another. But Nesta Archeron’s still human heart has felt each beating second, minute, hour. She has felt it all, each moment stretching out before her.
While trying her best to navigate her way through this immortal life of hers, Nesta is constantly looking outside of herself to find her way and keep those around her off of her back.
What happens when she is forced to look inside herself and push back in ways she never thought she could? At least, not ever again. Will she succeed in trying to save a life outside of her own? And what lies in the balance when she begins to push against a world that punishes those who step out of line?
The now lone rock at which the surf crashes has not broken. But she has been eroded, changed.
Nesta Archeron has never been known to be down for too long. Not when injustice is so brazenly displayed to her. Not when someone she cares for is at its centre.
Long Live the Queen. And Cauldron help those who do not have the sense to bow.

Summary
A modern-mafia family dynamic focusing on the siblings Tristan(Flynn) and Sathia Flynn-Ketos while under their mob boss father Lord Hawthorne's thumb. Events take place after ACoSF & HoFaS. Some canon divergence & lots of vibes!
When Bryce Quinlan crosses universes and returns with dramatic flare, she brings Elain Archeron to Lunathion to keep her safe, and burdens her trusted friends with Elain's care while she returns to help save Prythian. Is that all Elain will be to the Flynn's - the doe eyed mystic with severe trauma issues, a burden? Or will her presence bloom more than love and intrigue in the big city, with new possibilities brings new dangers to navigate - can she grow roots here, or will she be plucked out of this world as quickly as she was the last? Not if Tristan Flynn has anything to say about it.
"It's giving Fae Days of Our Lives on Wisteria Lane in the Ozarks with Succession vibes. Would recommend." - a review, Maybe Me

Happier Than Ever by ChelseaMorningGirl

Summary
The bond flares to life in her chest—sharp, bright, Cassian—and Nesta’s entire body goes rigid even as she forces herself to reveal nothing.
Cassian lands first, Azriel following close behind. They’re both in their leathers, both clearly having come straight from Windhaven. Cassian’s face breaks into a grin when he sees her, sees the gathering, and something about that unguarded joy makes her throat close up.
“Well, isn’t this nice,” he says, striding inside with that easy confidence she used to find thrilling. “A family gathering and nobody told me?”
He crosses to where Nesta stands with Nyx, and before she can brace herself, he’s there, solid and warm and overwhelming. His hand comes to rest on the small of her back, familiar and possessive, and he presses a kiss to her temple that she feels like a brand.
“Hey, sweetheart,” he murmurs against her hair. “Miss me?”
—————
Months after Bryce Quinlan returned to Midgard, Nesta barely recognizes herself anymore. She can't wrap her mind around the concept of forever when she never asked to be immortal in the first place.
When Nesta finally breaks, Cassian is forced to confront every way he's failed her.

Summary
In the end, she had been given one semi-normal Solstice. One where, while still feeling more than a little outcast, she had been embraced by enough of these people to feel something other than abject despair or disdain for the fae holiday.
Naturally, she’d ruined all of that just in time for the next one.
Semi-good graces one year, back on the periphery the next.
Such was the price for saving the universe.
Nursing a warm cup of mulled wine, she observed the rituals of the day in solemn silence.
---
In which Solstice is a time to be grateful for those we love, and in the aftermath of Bryce Quinlan wreaking havoc in their world, some holiday magic just might be what is needed to heal the wounds left behind. -
