To Wake a Winter Heart by darknessdescends
Fandoms: A Court of Thorns and Roses Series - Sarah J. Maas

Summary
Born under Amarantha’s brutal reign, Nephele has never seen the world beyond temple walls. Raised in isolation at Cesere’s edge, her life has been one of ritual and restraint—until Hybern’s forces raze her sanctuary, leaving her with nothing but ashes and grief.
Rescued by her court’s High Lord, she is brought to the House of Wind, where ancient magic stirs and winged warriors fly under starlit skies. But even there, peace eludes her. Blood-stained dreams and a pull toward something unknown haunt her sleep in the quiet of the library.
As war looms, Nephele draws the attention of Rhysand’s Inner Circle. His spymaster, Azriel, cannot understand why his shadows linger around her. His general, Cassian, feels a strange familiarity in her presence. Amren scents forgotten magic in her blood. And Mor watches the threads of fate tighten around a girl who may unravel everything.
Something long-dormant stirs in Nephele—power she never knew, truths hidden beneath a life of lies. To stop what’s coming, she must uncover what was taken from her… and decide what, and who, she’s willing to fight for.
What will it take to awaken the winter within her heart?

Summary
“𝘠𝘰𝘶 𝘤𝘢𝘮𝘦 𝘢 𝘭𝘰𝘯𝘨 𝘸𝘢𝘺, 𝘭𝘪𝘵𝘵𝘭𝘦 𝘴𝘩𝘢𝘥𝘰𝘸.”
They say the Illyrian Mountains remember every child born with wings. Their warriors. Their bloodlines. Their sons who burn bright enough to scorch the snow. But they forgot her the moment she clawed her way into the world: a devil’s child cast out under Amarantha’s rule, dumped in the wilds where the Night Court fades into ocean, left for a test no one expected her to survive.
Eight winters old, sharp as frost, half-starved and half-shadow, she roams the north even where the camps dare not enter. No family. No name but the one she clutches like a secret. Lilia. No promise but her own teeth and the hush of the creek she calls home.
Or...
When Rhysand and his Inner Circle find Lilia, starved, desperate to tear the world open and vanish, they offer warmth she never asked for and a promise she doesn’t believe. Just a soft place to rest.
But the wild doesn’t forgive what the world tries to tame. And her shadows always remember the way back through the dark.

Summary
Her hands twitched with unspent magic swelling inside her. “Forgive me dear sister” she interjected, her voice dripping with sarcasm. “I am not inclined to believe you in the slightest when you so clearly have become the very thing you fought against - a tyrant who would control others’ lives so freely.” she cocked her neck to the side.
“Or is this all your mate’s doing? Tell me Feyre, have you simply gone from being Tamlin’s puppet to being one for your Highlord ?”
*******
A partial rewrite of ACOSF with Cassian actually behaving like Nesta's mate.Like many of us, I don't like the lack of comfort following the hurt in ACOSF. Not to mention how butchered Rhys's character became (SJM, look how you have massacred my boy) or how unnecessarily cruel and petulant the IC became.
Goes without saying that if you don't like Nesta or don't particularly care for IC being held accountable then this isn't for you :)
