Last wedding photos I promise

A Rhysta Snippet inspired by the amazing @theladyofbloodshed

His ribs began to ache before the Manor came to view. It should have been a sign in hindsight, that blooming flower of pain in his side, a warning corsage from the Mother. But the swirling snow obscuring their sight and Feyre's wringing hands, picking in turn at her ragged nails and then the fine leather of a scabbard Cassian had pushed onto her that morning for protection, were bigger concerns.

His lovesick fool of a General, was continuing his pining from 6 feet away, fists clenched and jaw tight, a wound spring of longing. Rhys would never have called his brother hesistant until now. But love did strange things to males his mother had said. As Cassian’s eyes bore holes into the back of Feyre's head, fear or idiocy, probably a mixture of both, prevented him from comforting the Saviour.

Which left Rhysand with the honour.

He was going to thrash Cassian in the ring for this tomorrow.

Falling in step beside the girl he said lightly,

"Relax. I think you've faced down worse than whatever that place houses."

He tipped his head towards the looming shadow of the building that had emerged from the gloam just a moment prior. With each step further detail of the house was revealed, candlelit windows with iron bars on them, marble pillars and statues of beasts of old caught his eye. The humans had spent Tamlin's coin well it seemed.

'You haven't met Nesta.'

Feyre let out an unconvincing watery laugh.

He'd heard more than enough about the eldest Archeron. Whispers between Cassian and Feyre had reached his ears in Velaris. And he was not blind to the tears that carved new paths on the archer's ice-nipped face. He always had a particular disdain for those who failed to care for blood, hence his hatred of the mirror.

'Nesta hasn't met me.'

He muttered darkly.

'Stop it.'

Feyre snapped firmly.

'You'll have manners, Rhysand. Do you understand?'

She was very like Rowena when she said his name like that. His sister would have loved her. A fellow pain in his neck.

Huffing in agreement and feeling like a scolded child he stormed forward to knock on the great iron studded door they had reached.

----------

He had always liked romance books, a secret youthful pleasure his mother indulged and his father abhorred.

He dreamed his first meeting with his mate would go like the great love stories he'd devoured, a single glance, a fleeting touch that would explode his world of night into symphony of colour and sunshine.

Instead as a human opened a door, his pulse began to rise, a tremendous searing heat radiated from his heart and the snow around him whirled with fae cast gusts of innate power before being evaporated when he got his first glance of her.

She was resplendent, his mate, her delicate eyebrows furrowed in distrust even as the corner of her mouth softened at the sight of her sister.

He attempted to correct his expression into something gentle and charming so she might like him. It was imperative she liked him.

Instead Nesta Archeron with a beauty so sharp it shredded the snowflakes around him, took one glance at his pained grimace, his pointed ears, his damned wings, and promptly shut the door in his face.

Congratulations on your wedding and marriage! hope you and your husband have wonderful days ahead in the future!

Thank you so much! We had a lovely day with just 7 guests, but today we will host a few more in the garden and cook goulash on the fire etc, true Slovak way 🥰 we also have loads of cake left 🐷

[theladyofbloodshed]

I know he’s the one because we went to the spa after the wedding and I said do a trick so he did a backwards roll in the pool 🥰

[theladyofbloodshed]

Got him for life now

[theladyofbloodshed]

Next time I post about Nesta I’ll be a married woman 👰🏻‍♀️

Day 7 for @nestaarcheronweek - Free Day

Who should Nesta's new partner be!

Tumblr destroyed the quality of the whole piece so I had to split it. Full picture below!

[theladyofbloodshed]

@amchapel hahaha nesta would take one look and be like ??? Get your own ring

What’s your biggest controversial ACOTAR take?

Mine is that I think under completely different circumstances, Rhys & Nesta would be so hot together. In a way that can only truly work in fanfic, where the only thing happening is pure, outright smut that doesn’t really lead anywhere. Enemies banging it out? Sign me up😏

(it’s still fuck canon Rhys though 🙏)

[theladyofbloodshed]

Nesta said, “I want a disgustingly ornate mating ceremony.”

He laughed, pulling away. “Really?”

“Why not?”

“Because I’ll never hear the end of it from Azriel and Mor.” Or the Illyrians.

Nesta, run. Your husband cares more about the opinions of his 500 year throuple situationship than what you want for your wedding

[theladyofbloodshed]

And when feminist king Rhysand has a daughter how will he explain that she can’t be high lady because the magic doesn’t choose women and the Illyrian women are still having their wings clipped but they can now train after their chores to die for him instead - and her auntie Mor is the only dreamer in the hewn city and the rest of the women deserve their loveless, abusive marriages

[theladyofbloodshed]

SJM love Eris, SJM love Nesta, SJM love Lucien. SJM love bla bla.

From my analysis, all this character will soon be 'SJM love them and -turn them into 'I-love-Rhy' or Pro-Rhys' or 'Rhys-The-Soon-To-Be-High-King'

Proof?

Nesta, Cassian, Amren (surprisingly for a 2k years olf immortal taking side of stupid boy, Drakon seem to be pro-Rhys, feyre (ofc).

But my strongest defence is Nesta. We have seen how SJM turn her into 'Pro-Rhys'. I can see this repeating with other character

Literally nobody can hold a negative attitude towards Rhys. That line from Nesta about him being a great leader or whatever it was... girl!!! I think he's in all their heads, picking out bad vibes like weeds

Nesta's only knowledge of Illyrians comes from the little she is told. Of course, she will go to Windhaven feeling uneasy when the IC have told her they're all vile then she's asked what she is and if she's a witch the second she arrives.

This is very different to Mor, who is 500, has been around many Illyrians, perhaps fought alongside them and is one of the group who rules over them. Mor should not be arriving in Windhaven and declaring it should be burnt to the ground.

I won't even touch Azriel's views on his own people.

[theladyofbloodshed]

like, nesta's daughter name will be Ember, in canon, bc if nesta has a child in any future book and that is not writtern, i will simply open adobe acrobat and change it, and also, her kid will have her eyes, red hair and skin paler than hers, even if she still is with cassian (which is gonna make things funnier), then he will obviously ask why tf this kid has red hair, no wings, skin as pale as eris... and she is going to be like, "well, my great-grandmother..."

Oooo I like your thinking, my friend!

[theladyofbloodshed]

I’m so delulu because I’m thinking about nesta telling Eris that if they have a girl she should be called ember and Eris having no context behind the name but agreeing because he literally cannot say no to nesta and indulges every whim

[theladyofbloodshed]

But she always wanted to sleep with a great Illyrian warrior and knew Cassian would be that… 🥲🤡

it's real rich of Mor to hate on Nesta for not training for the first time in her life whilst wearing skin tight clothing in front of misogynistic men who already think her a witch - when Mor holds this opinion of Illyria herself

@nestaarcheronweek | Day 06: Birthday Girl

Nesta was born in the spring, and although I can see a bit of Aries in her, I think her personality fits more with Taurus: independent, persistent, sturborn, honest and loyal. Thank you @_violaiole for making this idea come to life.
