Summary
All she knows with absolute clarity is that she is burning. That she feels white-hot anger sluicing through her veins, that silver fire stoked higher and higher as Cassian’s words barrel into her like a battering ram.
“Well, everyone fucking hates you, so well done, Nes.”
Nes. Everything seems to quiet. As if what he just said is of no consequence at all. As if the little nickname has no effect. As if she hasn’t asked him to stop calling her that more times than she can count. Everyone fucking hates you. All at once, the anger is replaced by hurt. It starts small, a fissure in her heart that travels through her body like a spider crack.
_______________
Cassian’s words affect Nesta so deeply that she closes herself off from him, from the inevitable hurt he will inflict. Will Cassian be able to convince Nesta of his feelings, or will they crash and burn?

Summary
Nesta Archeron disappeared three months to the day after the end of the war against Hybern.
Without so much as a whisper, she slipped away into the night, leaving it all behind.
The Night Court. Her sisters. Him.
There were no answers, no justification, no anything.
As quickly as she appeared into his life, she vanished, as if she were never there. The few things she owned were left abandoned, locked away in an attic, to be forgotten like so many other relics of their lost ones.
Three years later and the wound still burned as if she’d stabbed him directly in the chest.
---

Summary
"Excuse me," she manages, standing abruptly. The room tilts slightly, and she has to catch herself on the back of her chair.
"Are you alright?" Feyre is half out of her seat, concern etched across her features.
"Yes," she says. "I just need some air."
"You look pale," Cassian says quietly. He's watching her with those sharp hazel eyes that see too much. "Maybe you should—"
"I said I'm fine." The words come out sharper than she intends, but another cramp is building and she needs to get out of here before she breaks down in front of them. Before they have more ammunition to use against her.
—————
Nesta's first fae cycle hits during a tense family dinner, but she doesn't understand what's happening to her body. Determined not to show weakness, she pushes through the pain until she collapses during training the next morning. When Cassian discovers the extent of her suffering, everything changes.

Summary
It happened when you were sixteen.
You hadn’t seen it coming. Why would you? Soulmates weren’t a thing by the time you were born. It was an old concept, a montage of grainy, black and white photos you might see in a museum, or the history channel if there was nothing else to watch.
And yet, it happened to you.

The Mother Made Us A Savage Daughter (Who Never Begs for Forgiveness) by This_Immortal_Hope
Fandoms: A Court of Thorns and Roses Series - Sarah J. Maas
20 Apr 2026

Summary
Nesta Archeron had been wrong from the moment she was born. She came into this world and knew, instantly, that it was not for girl’s like her. The feeling was so familiar now that she sometimes thought of it as a second cord around her ribs. She had her mate attached to one side of her soul and the knowledge that she was, fundamentally, wrong, attached to the other.
So when that second string started to pull, Nesta knew there could be nothing good on the other side of it. But, like the mating bond she once tried to deny, it could not be ignored. Would not be ignored.
She let it pull her down, down, down.

Fissure and Thaw by TheTeaQueen
Fandoms: A Court of Thorns and Roses Series - Sarah J. Maas
28 Apr 2025
Tags
Summary
Masks had always been familiar to Nesta Archeron.
Less shiny, less deadly than the one that occasionally framed her face, these were smaller, meant for everyday wear that hid her identity in different, more vital ways.
‘Stop bouncing on your toes, Nesta. Stay still.’
The earliest effort – to stop her body from constantly moving. Constantly needing to sway or rock up and down, be it at tea, or on the promenade.
‘Sound sweet when you talk. Simpering. No one likes a monotone. And for my sake, smile.’
The bane of her mother’s existence – that her voice was not light and melodic, like Feyre’s, but rather deep-toned and inherently cold. How her face rested in a perpetual scowl regardless of her mood.
‘Watch me, copy me. That’s right.’

In which Nesta masks to conform to her peers, until she can't anymore.

A Court of Unforged Hearts by limeandorange, MissMandi
Fandoms: A Court of Thorns and Roses Series - Sarah J. Maas
17 Feb 2025
Tags
Summary
Nesta Archeron has always been seen as a weapon—a volatile force to be wielded when convenient, feared when not. After the scrying for the Mask, everything unravels. Fractured relationships, hidden truths, and growing threats force Nesta to make a choice: remain a pawn of the Night Court or carve her own path.
Meanwhile, Eris Vanserra watches from the Corner. His loyalty is as sharp as his tongue, his motives always unclear. But as political alliances shift and dangers loom from within and beyond, Eris finds himself drawn to the very woman the Night Court fears most.
This is a story of rebirth and rebellion, of fractured hearts and fragile hopes. A story of masks and the power to choose who you become once the masks are removed. But mostly, this is a love story. 💖
Sometimes, the darkest paths lead to the brightest dawns.

I was brought out of fic retirement by this message

She refused to marry Tomas or anyone even if it would save her reputation. I'm just thinking of how it would change the mood of the ic meeting her for the first time. and also obvs change canon afterwards in some form. "
I diverged slightly and Nesta will be a mother in the first meeting with the IC.
