Okay I am home from work.
Right off the bat, you’ve caught my interest with Nesta growing up with her mother and grandmother. How is Nesta different when she has her mother her whole life? Clearly this is not a mother who prized Nesta above all else if she sent her away to some terrible monster to marry, but still.
Pretty Cassian. Excellent. Nesta not knowing how to handle this. Excellenter.
Also I love this quick peak into Cassian’s mindset, obviously marrying a human is just as weird for him as marrying a faerie is for her.
“Deep in the thralls of lovemaking or whatever” sHUT UP I LOVE HER
And then immediately yelling at him. Vintage Nessian
Nesta aggressively thinking sex at Cassian over breakfast is just chef’s kiss
Also I love that the House still loves Nesta in this
Okay, so, the premise that is not included is also so interesting!! Like why has Cassian been chosen to marry Nesta? Is it because her being a human means she is too low for Azriel/Rhysand? But also might it have to do with Nesta’s connection to the Mother might be something dangerous and the High Lord thinks he might be able to control her (read: kill her) if need be?
I also have questions about Nesta’s family - since she wasn’t abducted, she might be allowed to continue contact with her family, right? Like letters and such. Is Feyre fae-hating-acotar-Feyre, or something different in this world? Does Elain mourn her or is she a romantic?
Also Cassian says they’re in the House to be spied on, but what does Nesta feel about being at the top of a mountain she can’t get down from and no one can get up to? Is she grateful not to be in the city of faeries, or does she feel trapped? Has she grown up knowing she would marry like this? What does her connection to the Mother give her the ability to do?
Anyway I’m obsessed and this has more lore than all of a/cosf. I would love love love love if you continued this!!
