Summary
“Are you…” Nesta started, her voice nothing but a raspy whisper. “Are you real?”
She said the words as if she couldn’t bear to speak them fully aloud, as if she didn’t quite believe that he was.
Cassian blinked, brows furrowing. Not once had he ever seen her like this, not even when Elain had been put into the Cauldron, and not even during the war that followed. This was a level of horror he’d rarely seen in anyone, let alone this female, who was stoic until the last moment, always. And so, he heard himself say,
“I’m real. I’m real, sweetheart. See?”
Her eyes flicked down to his chest again, as if she didn’t believe him, and he reached for her injured hand gently, moving it so it could rest over his sternum, where his heartbeat rapidly.
“What is it?” He asked again. “Was it a dream?”
Her eyes met his, tears still streaming down her face. In a voice that was almost childlike, betraying her own confusion, she asked,
“You don’t see him?”

Or, when Amren pushes Nesta too far at training, she unlocks the full potential of her power, and with it comes devastating consequences.A post-ACOWAR AU in which Lady Death sees the dead, with chaotic results.

Summary
England - May, 1944
“Your husband doesn't write you.”
Nesta didn't look up from where she was primly folding one of his men's uniforms.
“Well, Captain, he is fighting a war.”
Cassian frowned, knowing full well the men in his Company wrote every chance they could, anxious to hear from their wives, to be reminded what it was all for. Her words were an excuse. A deflection from a lovelessness that cracked his heart in two.
“I don't suppose you would let me?” He asked.
"Let you what?"
“Write you, sweetheart.”
--
While training for the Allies' invasion Europe, Captain Cassian Garcia of the 505th Parachute Infantry Regiment meets the mysterious Nesta Mandray and finds a light in the darkness. Beautiful, if not burdened by some deep sadness, he finds he cannot stay away, even with the ring around her finger.
When Nesta Mandray meets the bold, yet inexplicably handsome American Officer lodging next door, her dream of escape from a loveless marriage becomes increasingly hard to ignore. But a life scarred makes for a woman cautious, and it will take more than brief conversations over clean linens to convince her to take a leap of faith.

Summary
"I've turned it over in my mind again and again," Nesta said, and looking at her now he saw the glassiness of her eyes. The faraway look that indicated some sort of shock. "It must have been about equality, right? I'm your mate, I'm expected to be equal to you."
Cassian's mouth fell open, and he looked helplessly at Azriel who, despite all his efforts at constant stoicism, appeared nothing short of stricken.
"I know it must be a disappointment that I did not make Carynthian."
"Nesta," His brother began, his voice strained. "Do you think we put you in that Rite?"
His mate finally lifted her gaze, settling her unfocused eyes on the shadowsinger without any real heat in them.
"Didn't you?"
---
In which, in the aftermath of the Blood Rite, Nesta's mind suffers more than Cassian realizes, resulting in a horrific misunderstanding. -

Summary
“Still think you belong here, little witch? Not even those leathers make you look convincing. I could still snap you like a toothpick.”
The male – not quite as tall as Cassian, but perhaps just as bulky, had been eyeing her from the moment she’d first arrived in this gods’ forsaken place for training. She knew he’d just been biding his time before taking a shot.
Typical male behavior, if she ever saw it.
“I belong where I please,” Nesta replied, making an effort to step around him.
Instead, he stepped towards her, and a large, rough hand landed on her shoulder, heavy through the fabric of her jacket, pushing her back.
“I’m not finished.” He snarled, leaning in close enough that she could smell the ale on his breath. “Someone ought to remind you of your manners when a male is speaking to you.”
“Do not,” she warned, angling out from his hold, “put your hands on me.”
--
In which Nesta beats up a man and Cassian learns that constant resilience has a price.

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?
---
In the days leading up to Samhain, Nesta learns that she has made a lasting impression on the people of Velaris. Only, the weight of myth and legend isn't as easy to accept as it might seem.

The Artist And Her Model by ChelseaMorningGirl
Fandoms: A Court of Thorns and Roses Series - Sarah J. Maas
14 Feb 2026
Tags
Summary
Nuan drapes a length of sheer fabric the color of shallow, aquamarine water across the model’s hips and thighs. It conceals nothing, but only adds another layer of complexity for the students, another challenge. The model—Nuan says her name is Nesta—arranges herself on the chaise longue with easy grace.
One arm curves above her head, the other rests across her stomach. The pose echoes a thousand classic odalisques, but contrary to the women portrayed in those paintings, there’s nothing passive in her expression. She looks like she’s daring the room to do more than study her.
“We’ll start with gesture drawings,” Nuan announces. “Thirty seconds each. Capture the energy, the movement, and don’t worry too much about details.”
Emerie’s hand moves across the paper, but her lines are tentative, uncertain. Usually, she can detach and look at the model as an arrangement of cylinders and spheres, light and shadow, negative space. But this woman radiates something that bypasses every intellectual defense Emerie has constructed.
Her charcoal stutters.
—————
When the usual model for her live drawing class calls in sick, a new model turns Emerie’s world upside down.
