People who are like super die hard stans of the other Archeron sisters who are not Feyre, especially the Feyre anti Archeron sister's stans are fucking weird 💀
Feyre is the protagonist of the ACoTaR series and quite literally the heart of Maasverse, its superrr weirdddd idk and idc what you say its weird and icky asf
Edit: came here to say that one of the biggest ick factors that weird me out abt these people are that often times they want the same things and tools ( as in plot points, such as becoming High Lady and stuff ) that Feyre got in her character arc and story while simultaneously discrediting and hating on Feyre for having them, saying she's "undeserving" of those things, I could make a list of all those things 😭
Like if its so bad why do you want it for your fav? And last I checked it was Feyre who died saving the world, what makes you think your favs "deserve" it more than Feyre when they aren't even fucking independent, lives their lives in Feyre's money, earnings, connections and status, on Feyre's land, under the protection of her position and title?
The pregnancy plot from SF feels so illogical that one day I was seriously investigating the anatomy of newborn bats. Just so you know, babies of every species are very flexible at birth. Human babies are flexible - their skull bones aren't connected so they can squish. In the same way, bats are born with soft wings which harden shortly after.
Also, what kind of hips should an Illyrian woman have to be more special than an ordinary female body, which can give birth to a child weighing up to 5 kg?
And of course, someone could always refute that Illyrians aren't bats and respectively, hard wings in uterus is part of the canon, but the whole ordeal doesn't stop being stupid as the logic of biological processes was the least of the problems with this pregnancy plot.
*deep sigh* anyway, newborn bats are as ugly as newborn humans, but the baby form of both is so cute. Damned evolution and the big eyes of these fragile beings making me, a serious woman, go "awwwww, what a cutie patootie!" 🥺
“Azriel and Elain remained in the sitting room, my sister showing him the plans she’d sketched to expand the garden in the back of the town house, using the seeds and tools my family had given her tonight.”
“…my affections?”
“Oh, that’s from me… I had Madja make it for me, It’s a powder to mix in with any drink.” Elain bit her lip and then smiled sheepishly. “It’s for the headaches everyone always gives you. Since you rub your temples so often.”
SJM- “It’s a novella set after the events of ACOWAR, that bridges the gap between the original trilogy and the upcoming spinoff books, and lays a bunch of the groundwork for the set-up of the new novels.”
Fanfic idea for people who want to explore the sibling relationship between Nesta and Feyre.
Takes place somewhere between WAR and SF.
Feyre wants to invite Nesta to another family gathering, but because she doesn’t want to be recognized and attract stares in Nesta’s neighborhood, she shape-shifts her face into something less recognizable. While she waits for Nesta, something suddenly triggers her, or perhaps the more she thinks about Nesta’s situation, the more her anxiety grows, leading to a panic attack. The exact cause doesn’t matter, but Feyre needs to be visibly distressed.
Nesta passes by and stops when she notices a distressed girl alone in a dark place. She approaches with her usual cold stance, though there’s a hint of worry beneath it, and asks if she needs help. Feyre is too startled to reveal her real identity, meanwhile Nesta helps her. Maybe she uses a grounding technique she uses during her own ptsd episodes, showing care in such a genuine way that Feyre remains shocked by the dissonance between this Nesta and the one she thinks she knows. And because we know Feyre isn't attached to morale principles(reminder she did read Lucien's mind), when Nesta asks for her name, she lies.
Here we have two options:
- for a more nostalgic or sad reaction from Nesta — use “Clare”
- for a slightly amused reaction — use any name starting with “Ne” (or “Fe”) like “Nelly” or “Nessa”
Nesta asks Feyre if she wants a drink. She mentions there’s a place with good music, so good that it’s rumored to heal an aching soul. Feyre suspiciously asks, “Does it?” and Nesta adds nonchalantly that nonetheless the music is really good. A gross sound interrupts her (maybe someone pissing nearby, or a drunken fight accompanied by loud curses) and she continues that it’s definitely better than staying alone in the dark listening to that.
Feyre, who misses seeing a normal side of her sister, takes advantage of the situation and accepts.
They go to a tavern and talk. Feyre tries to learn more about Nesta’s life, but Nesta isn’t very open, constantly answering in riddles. Feyre notices that even though her sister was born human, she speaks like a fae. This part can be freestyle, anything you want to explore about their relationship, but not too much, keep it realistic.
It could start with Nesta asking Feyre what frightened her so badly, and Feyre answering with bait meant to provoke a reaction and start a discussion she would never dare initiate under normal circumstances.
Examples:
- “I had a fight with my sister.”
- “Something triggered memories of…” (insert trauma: the war, a toxic ex, etc.)
- “I lost my father recently and I saw someone who looked very similar to him.”
At this point, the world (fic) is your oyster.
Now I would like to think that at some point Nesta notices a nervous tick specific to Feyre and together with other clues (certain phrases, food preferences, chosen topics of discussion, manners, etc) she realizes she’s talking to Feyre and confronts her. She may even ask a question just to confirm her suspicions.
Feyre says something and does a certain gesture, the final piece clicks into place in Nesta’s mind, and her expression changes. Her face turns cold again. Feyre notices the silence and looks confused.
Depending on the option used at the beginning:
“Really, ‘Clare’? That’s how you got her killed in the first place?”
Or:
“Really, ‘Nessa’? I thought, as an artist, you could be more creative.”
Nesta gets up to leave. Feyre stops her by the hand, trying to explain how the misunderstanding happened.
Nesta asks, “Oh, so you came to drag me to another spectacle of your perfect family?”
Feyre answers that she only wants to help her, that she thought being in a positive atmosphere might help Nesta recover. She insists she never intended to spy on her, but she misses her sister.
This conversation already takes place outside. Nesta silently listens, says she won’t attend Feyre’s event, and leaves.
Feyre follows after her, unwilling to leave the discussion on a bad note. They end up somewhere more private, e.g. an empty park or maybe the bank of the Sidra.
And Nesta says:
“Okay, you want to talk? Then let’s talk. There was no need to organize this masquerade just to appease your curiosity.”
Like a true sibling, Feyre grunts and reminds her it was an accident. Nesta sits down on a bench and looks at her with a mildly judgmental expression.
And now comes the second part: an honest conversation between two sisters. It doesn’t need to be cordial or therapy talk. Both of them can be mean, wrong, defensive and still make valid points. Maybe they reference things from their earlier conversation. The important part is that they talk, or rather fight like real siblings on neutral territory. Without an army to take Feyre's side.
The key is, in the end, something should change.
For example, Feyre sits beside Nesta on the bench and says she will no longer sponsor her self-destructive behavior. Nesta asks if this is just another way to bribe her into attending the family gathering. Feyre says it isn’t. She admits she tried to help Nesta, but came to the realization that she doesn’t actually know how. She says that maybe Nesta is right, maybe trying to keep her close is not the best strategy. As Nesta said they have different lives different now.
Feyre explains that Nesta will receive her own separate account and that she won’t bother her anymore.
A moment of silence follows.
Feyre stands up and quietly says that she’ll still be there for Nesta when she’s ready to accept her help. She apologizes for what happened when they were turned fae, admitting that during that night she was horrified by the thought of losing her sisters, and that now she feels the same horror again.
Nesta remains silent, staring into nowhere. Feyre looks at her one last time and leaves.
We stay with Nesta sitting alone on the bench.
Bonus scene:
The next morning, Nesta finally returns to her apartment. After taking a shower, she hears knocking at the door. It’s Azriel carrying documents for the bank account in her name, and maybe some homemade food packed for her.
He tells her that if she ever needs anything, she can ask him for help.
