Summary
When Nesta realizes Feyre has not included her in any of their family paintings, the sting of her exclusion is sharper than she could have ever imagined.
Desperate to relieve Feyre and her new family of the burden that she was, she did the only thing she could think of: run.
An alternate take after ACOFAS, in which Feyre not painting Nesta gets addressed, the Inner Circle gets a little bit of a reality check, and everyone kind of learns to communicate.

Summary
Nesta Archeron is the Institute's first Necromancer in centuries, surrounded by secrets after a two-year disappearance to master her art.
Cassian Balderas is the best Demon Slayer in an age, full of unlimited potential and beloved by all who know him.
Almost a decade ago, they were schoolmates on the verge of something more, but now, they were as good as strangers. Nesta is happy to keep it that way, especially after that night Freshman year.
But when they're paired up to investigate a series of corrupted spirits, they're forced to ignore what went wrong between them all those years ago and, more importantly, whether that fire that had drawn them together in the first place still burned in their hearts. It may just take a near death experience for either of them to admit it.
Stay tuned for misunderstandings, secrets, angst with a healthy dose of incoming spice, second chances, and two idiots that are avoiding their true feelings so badly even the ghosts are mad about it.
A gift for @DustJackets for the 2024 ACOTAR Gift Exchange!

Summary
“Then stop, Cassian!” She was shouting now, inches from his face. “Stop fighting for my life! I never asked you to! Forget about me and move on!”
A sparkling tear froze on the tip of her eyelash and he felt a triumph in it, this sign that she was in there somewhere. His hands ached for her. This had all gone so differently in his head.
“I can’t,” he admitted.

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
Ten years later after Nesta Archeron’s wretched choice: exile in the Human Lands. She got exactly what she wanted—distance from Prythian, the Inner Circle, and Cassian.
However, the silence for a New: Feyre is pregnant again. This time the heir she carries possesses Illyrian wings, but unlike her first pregnancy, Feyre’s physiology is failing to adapt.
The Inner Circle is on its knees. With Rhysand consumed by despair. When is said that only someone who has wielded the power of Death and walked the Human Lands can pierce the mystical blockade holding Feyre prisoner within her own body.
Nesta is faced with a choice she loathes:
Remain in her solitary peace while the world she despised burns to ash and the distance is no longer a punishment; it is cowardice. Or return to save her sister and her unborn nephews. But, for that Nesta will have to face the General she abandoned and the darkness she swore never to touch again. While her still largely unknown power leads her down an unexpected path of redemption, with unexpected people—or not. Perhaps fate will reveal it later.

I was brought out of fic retirement by this message
"(tw for rape and pregnancy) idk if the timeline of acotar even works for this idea but imagine if nesta didn't get away from Tomas and when feyre and the ic come to nesta and Elain, Nesta's pregnant and showing. 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.

Summary
Nesta Archeron desperately needs her happily ever after. She’s overcome her trauma, atoned for her missteps, and worked hard to temper her sharp edges so she could be the mate Cassian deserves, and the sister Feyre and Elain need. All that remains now is her mating ceremony, and then she can take her place among the Night Court's Inner Circle.
Across Prythian, Eris Vanserra has spent centuries doing the exact opposite: sharp edges are what's kept him alive in the Autumn Court. He's fought tooth and nail to stay on top and two steps ahead of the game, and worn the ugly mask of politics for so long he no longer remembers where Eris the Heir ends, and Eris the Person begins.
But on the day of Nesta's mating ceremony-a day that should mark a new beginning for her and an end for him-both realize that old wounds don't always heal quickly, and that even the best, most careful planners can still get taken by surprise.

Summary
“Archeron,” he says, when he’s close enough to count each individual hair in the fan of dark lashes. She goes still in that particular, feline way, gaze lifting to his like it’s unspooling from a reel. The slow recognition in her eyes does something ugly and sweet to him.
“Hello Cassian,” she says, dry.
“You look—” He stops. Beautiful is a word that feels to intimate. Too much like everything they’re not. “—like you’re on the hunt.”
“I could say the same about you.” Her mouth tips.
The music makes the floor vibrate under his boots. He’s aware of his hand—of the ring. Of his entire body thrumming. “Can I buy your next one?”
“You can,” she says, considering him over the rim of her glass, “but I may refuse to drink it.”
“Sounds a bit bratty, Nesta.”
She hums. “What ever will you do about that?”
____
When Cassian lets his family convince him that Nesta isn’t the right woman for him, he marries his safe choice. But cutting Nesta out of his life proves more difficult than he thought.
Nesta promised herself she’d never become that woman. But letting go of the love of her life appears to be impossible. Until she meets someone with auburn hair and amber eyes.
