After so long here's Nesta Archeron on the Continent in the ACOTAR Moscow!!

Nesta x (half human half fae) human rights advocate Dmitri

[Idk if it's canon but in my head the Continent is definitely more socially mixed with humans and Fae living along side each other]

Nesta on a transcontinental steam train. Sleepily watching through the window as the snowy wilderness passes by. Brown leather seats and the smell of black coffee.

She has an elderly human from Prythian as a neighbour and Nesta writes all her letters for her since they speak the same language. The woman has three cats. Henry, Tabitha and Maude. Through this woman she meets Dmitri.

He is an eccentric half human half Fae who smokes too much. He runs an organisation that provides free help to humans and 'lesser' Fae seeking legal assistance in misuse of magic cases.

Nesta and Dmitri clash sometimes but not enough to ever impact their work. At first Nesta is only there because she writes fast but her efficiency and ability to quickly pick up on complex topics helps gain Dmitri's trust.

He explains things to her, sometimes writes out notes, eventually hands her books and pamphlets. It's not as fun as her romance novels but it's new and it helps ground her in her new world. In Prythian, she'd been pushed into her new world then made to work and train without any real mental adjustment.

But through Dmitri's work Nesta understands both human and Fae better. She adjusts, settles and things start to feel right.

He sometimes sends Nesta to lectures and conferences he insists he's too busy to attend, asking her to take note and relay to him. The frequent attendees start to take notice of her and at first they greet, friendly enough, but soon she's roped into questions and discussions.

Eventually a now familiar group invite her to lunch, then to the houses of some of the local speakers, to evening drinks and even a half hidden restaurant that seems to act more like a debate space than anything else.

Sometimes it's too much but Nesta finds herself engrossed in new ideas and expanding her mind. Sometimes she doesn't quite now how to counter arguments without revealing things she'd rather not about her life as a once human now fae.

But she's one of the youngest fae in almost every setting so everyone gives her grace, even when she doesn't want it. It feels strange to be acknowledged as young, something she hadn't been even as a human child, and brought into strange perspective her life in Velaris - Feyre's rush to seem on level with her 500 year old husband and friends.

A part of Nesta wants to write to her sisters - it's been 4 years since she left a note and boarded a ship after receiving that horrible ultimatum - but she isn't quite ready yet.

Eventually, she tells Dmitri about who and what she is. It isn't easy. Neither of them are especially vulnerable people and in Prythian almost everyone knows anyways but once she tells him it becomes easier to tell others.

It changes some things, the way some people look at her. Less like a child. Nesta doesn't mind. There's an upscale in some of the evening dinners and parties she's invited to. But she slides into those roles easily enough - getting Dmitri in so he can strongarm officials and influential names of the upper echelons.

She finally feels herself slip into the rhythm of the city. Horse carriage rides and wine parties, art exhibitions and long nights pouring over cases, her favourite cafe where she goes to be alone and watch people pass by on the street, chess games with Dmitri.

Winter was never her favourite time of year but here she finds things to look forward to. Moving ice sculptures and the laughter of children having snowball fights in the park. Cups and cups of coffee, hot chocolate and tea.

Eventually, she helps draft a policy that protects humans against fae glamouring as violation of their autonomous rights. Nesta writes to the Summer, Dawn, Day and Night Courts on including the policy in the laws on the protection of humans in Prythian and pressuring the other courts to do the same.

She, Dmitri and a few are invited back to the Summer and Day Courts to speak on and further help with the integration of the new policy.

Edit: I just realised Dmitri is kinda my first OC ?? It's kinda exciting ☺️

practice or fun? | azriel x fem!reader

description: y/n and azriel decide to train to practice forms in battle. things get a little frisky.

trigger warnings: seductive behavior, a lot of fluff, mostly platonic, fae!reader, graphic violence, fighting, etc. read at your own risk.

word count: 1.1k

You stood before Azriel with a sword in hand, firmly grasping the handle. Your knuckles turned white as you swung your blade towards him. He blocked it effortlessly with his own, slashing it to the side so the tip of your blade kissed the snowy ground. You breathed out through your nostrils as he did so.

Lifting your gaze to him, your eyes flickered a bright shade of blue as you motioned your hand to toss a frosted ball of energy against his chest, knocking him down upon his back.

He grumbled and laid there for a moment. "I thought we said no magic," Azriel said lowly. You laughed and walked towards him, your eyes fading back to their original color as you held out a hand to help him up. He took it and stood up with your assistance.

Dusting off the snow against his Illyrian leathers, he stared at you with his bright hazel eyes. "You always manage to surprise me," He whispered. "And that will help you in war.. on the battlefield."

"I know," You smirked.

The two of you stared at each other for a while, a comfortable stillness fell upon the air. The soft snowfall was heard against the grass and the distant sound of an icy babbling stream filled the silence.

"Again," Azriel smirked slowly.

You smiled and raised your blade with a knowing expression as he would be the one to make the first strike. You alternated that during practices.

He slowly brought his blade up towards you. Your eyes were undeniably beautiful; intoxicating to Azriel. You stared at him warmly, as a way to distract him from making a strike. You slowly lowered your blade, letting the tip of it kiss the frozen ground.

Stepping closer to him, you breathed slowly as it became a misty cloud in front of you. It was warm and smelled of mint. Azriel could almost taste it. Your noses almost brushed against each other's, dangerously close but not quite. As his eyes fluttered closed for the slightest moment, you took the opportunity to swiftly grasp his sword and step back with both of them in hand. You held his directly at his throat as yours was still touching the ground.

"You should never let your opponent distract you, Az," You clicked your tongue in a way to tsk as he smiled bashfully, his dimples showing.

"Very funny," Azriel stated lowly with a smile before it faded, "Give me my sword." He curled his fingers as a way to gesture for you to hand it over.

You pressed your lips together fighting a smile as you made no such movements to obey.

"Y/N, come on, give it here please," Azriel insisted growing impatient.

"I like the sound of you begging," You smirked, eyes bright blue once again. Azriel noticed and swallowed, seemingly nervous. "Do it again," You said calmly.

"Please," Azriel held out his hand, eyes pleading and pupils dilated. He was enjoying this. You smiled softly and tossed his sword to him with the blade pointed down. He swiftly caught it by the handle and held it up, immediately going for a strike towards you.

You blocked it effortlessly and grunted, using all your might to push his blade down to the left. He stumbled back as you stepped forward, preparing to strike. Your hair fell before your eyes as you swiftly took your sword and started to slash in front of Azriel, just above his groin. It was one of the most sensitive areas to hit in battle, especially on a man.

Azriel backed up quickly, dodging your hit as he used his blade and it clanked with yours. The two of you held that position for a moment, catching breaths. His hazel eyes were bright as he looked into yours.

Your lips curved into a smirk as you took your knee and hurriedly jabbed it into Az's groin. He immediately dropped his sword and held his private on the outside of his Illyrian leathers, groaning as he fell to his knees.

"Oh, I'm sorry," You tossed your sword in the snow and covered your mouth, trying not to laugh. "I meant to aim for your stomach," You spoke apologetically between soft laughs. You knelt down before him and laid a hand against his shoulder.

"I'm fine," Azriel spoke through clenched teeth and a grunt. "That was a good strategy though," He chuckled in pain.

"Just lay stomach down in the snow, the ice might fell better on it," You tried saying it seriously. Azriel looked up to give you a very annoyed expression. You broke out into fits of laughter.

He rolled his eyes and shoved you on your back playfully. You kept laughing as he took a handful of snow, tossing it against your face and stomach.

"Stop! I said I was sorry!" You laughed as you made a horrible attempt to back away. Azriel ignored your helpless pleas as he gripped your sides and squeezed them, tickling you against the ground.

"Az!" You yelped in between laughs. "I'll do it again if you don't stop!" You grabbed a fistful of snow and threw it at his face. He laughed loudly, throwing his head back as his eyelashes and hair were covered in snow.

You giggled breathlessly and sat up as he pulled back from you.

It was rare when Azriel laughed or even genuinely smiled. The two of you somehow always seemed to share a laugh and a playful moment. He was always so solemn and serious; you were able to take him away from that for a few moments at a time.

The two of you were breathless as you slowly scrambled to get up and retrieve your sword. Azriel tried to do the same but wasn't as quick as you. The tip of your sword found his chin as he was still kneeling against the ground. You stood before him with a dangerous smile.

"I believe I won this match," You stated with a grin.

"Is that right?" Azriel smirked as he was slowly reaching for the handle of his sword. His eyes remained on you, pupils dilated and lips parted as he breathed slowly.

"Yes," You quickly lifted his head with your blade as you stared down at him with a dangerous glint in your dark eyes.

Azriel made haste and pulled back from your blade, swinging his sword against it, clanks vibrated against your eardrums. He pushed himself up and off the ground, continuing to spar with you. You had a smile on your face with each dodge and block you made. It was effortless.

It wasn't training or even practice to either of you; truly, it was just plain fun.

4th day of Christmas - Ice Skating

Better Safe than Sorry (Elriel Drabble)

Velaris in the Winter was like a fairytale come to life. Small wooden stalls dotted the bank of the Sidra, vendors selling everything from hot beverages, to books, to trinkets from every other court. Fairy lights hung between lampposts, giving the city an ethereal glow even in the soft light of the Winter sun. Just to the side of the river, a rink of ice welcomed everyone for a spin, the laughter of children filling the air alongside the cheery music that so often played the streets.

It was truly a Winter Wonderland, and Feyre couldn’t be gladder she had dragged Rhys and everyone else to enjoy the festivities alongside the Velarians.

Even if her attention now lied elsewhere.

Feyre took a sip of her hot cocoa, frowning as her eyes followed Elain struggling to stand straight on her skates for longer than 3 seconds. Elain leaned against the barrier surrounding the ring, her cheeks rosy as she let out an embarrassed chuckle, eyes rising to whoever stood to her side.

She felt, rather than saw, Nesta approach her, shivering and cursing the cold under her breath. “Care to tell me why you’ve been standing here for the past ten minutes?” She asked. “It’s fucking freezing.”

It was – Feyre had lost feeling in her toes about 5 minutes ago, but she was just too enthralled to do anything about it. Still, she couldn’t bring herself to actually reply. Not when she spotted the male effortlessly skating towards Elain, a gentle smile on his face as he reached out a hand to help her.

“Feyre?” Nesta called again, huffing indignantly when she got no answer in return.

Feyre kept her eyes on the rink.

Elain, her hand in Azriel’s, tried to skate again, yelping as she stumbled against Azriel’s body the second she tried to move. Feyre tilted her head, watching as Azriel pulled her closer, head bent as he asked her something that earned him a blush and a nod.

“What are you looking at?” Nesta grumbled, eyes following Feyre’s line of sight. Feyre could feel the second Nesta spotted them, head tilting as well. “Oh.”

They watched as Elain and Azriel started to skate again, Elain much more at ease now that she was holding his hand, clinging to him - watching him - as if she feared she’d fall if she even dared step away. Azriel, for his turn, was watching her right back.

Neither seemed to notice the ease Elain now seemed to skate with.

Feyre hummed. “Didn’t Elain have skating lessons when she was younger?” She asked, watching as Elain “slipped” again; as Azriel immediately reached for her, hands going around her waist. Even from where she stood, Feyre could see the blush darkening his cheeks.

She finally turned to Nesta, as if trying to check if she was seeing what she was seeing. 

Nesta smiled, a pleased look on her face. “Yes.” She smirked. “Yes, She did.”

@emerieweekofficial Day 3 - Family/Friends

Cassian's throat tightened, and even from across the ring he could see Nesta's eyes gleaming with pride and pain.

The world seemed to pause at the words. As if it had been following one path and now branched off in another direction. In a hunred years, a thousand, this moment would still be etched in his mind.

[nocasdatsgay]

I’m still throughly upset that Cassian has one of the most romantic lines in all the books and then in the following two books treats Nesta like shit.

Home girl needed to know she was worth it and be held for once in her life, but you listened to an old ass eldritch bitch who should have died in book 3 and waited until Nesta broke as a person and rebuilt herself in the image of the night court before you decided to love her.

Note: This is my onion and I will not be taking criticisms. I don’t hate nessian I’m just triggered and I know that’s a me problem 😂

#he threw her gift in a river cause he was pissed #I was so triggered reading that #and they listened to Amern???? that bitch never had emotions until she started fuckin what’s his name #I’ll never forgive SJM for that #nesta deserves better #I also bet money mor was hogging the room while cassian was healing #I wouldn’t go in there either #not after he yanked his hand away when she walked in #like cassian you had such potential #if I had the time and attention I would rewrite acosf #don’t even get me started on that fuckin hike #or the fact he didn’t get mad that Rhys threatened to kill his mate #I’m in my feelings #unpopular opinion: acotar edition #acotar #it’s my opinion! #im not anti nessian I’m just anti whatever the fuck acosf was #cause I’m bias for nesta #acotar spoilers #also no I don’t care nesta didn’t go hunting #the house was never dirty now was it? someone had to clean it and cook #sure as hell wasn’t Feyre we would have heard her complain about it #the real villain is the patriarchy but y’all ain’t ready to hear that 🤣 #even in this fantasy world it wreaks havoc

[felicitysmoaksx]

What if Nesta couldn't physically speak in ACOTAR?

An AU-Canon Divergence Rewrite!

Cassian blinked at the golden string appearing from his chest and attaching itself to Feyre's oldest sister. Feyre's very human sister. Feyre's very human sister who was currently glaring at them. Cassian couldn't help the smirk that crossed his lips as he stared back. But it was at dinner that he, like everyone else noticed something different about Nesta Archeron...Her lips moved when she spoke, but no sound would come out. "Nesta, she can't speak? I mean she doesn't have a voice to talk physically?" Although the question was posed to the eldest Acheron sister, Mor looked to Feyre and Elain who seemed to be reading her lips. Cassian felt the self-deprecation come down the bond as if she were screaming down the bond. At least your one redeeming quality is you can be the perfect wife, girl. A woman is meant to be seen not heard. Don't ask him how, but he knew that wasn't Nesta's thoughts, despite it coming down the bond. Cassian growled low in his throat. Everyone glanced at him. "There were complications with Nesta's birth. A lot of it is fuzzy to us, but it rendered Nesta without the ability to physically speak." Elain explained nervously, not meeting any of their eyes. Feyre nodded, "Our father always said it some kind of stroke?" The General of the Night Court shared an identical quizzical look with his brothers and Mor. A human term then that no one in their inner circle recognized. (Feyre being the exception.)
