Creator Highlight #2 - @asnowfern

Welcome back to Nessian Creator Highlights!! We want to take a moment to recognize the amazing individuals in our fandom who kindly use up so much of their freetime and creative energy to share their work with us!

Today we want to highlight @asnowfern

If you've never spoken to asnowfern, you're missing out. Besides being one of the nicest people in the fandom, her talent is immense. Blending history, mythology, and the characters we've all become so fond of, asnowfern is a master when it comes to telling an compelling, gorgeous story.

If you're looking for some nessian recommendations, try out these:

We're Not Strangers: Cassian's muscles twitched as every fibre of his being screamed at him to go after her. He didn't know her, not in this lifetime, not yet. OR another take on the reincarnation/soulmate trope.

Crimson Blade: When Paris-based Feyre stops contacting their London home, Nesta engages private detective Cassian to investigate. The truth turns out to be much bloodier than she ever expected. OR a vampire Cassian and human Nesta Victorian love story

The Writings On The Wall: “So why haven’t you killed me?” she demanded, continuing when he raised a questioning brow, “You’re a hunter. Isn’t that what you do?” “I hunt malicious demons.” he answered easily as the infuriating smile returned. “You don’t seem very malicious to me.” She's a demon, he's a hunter. Their fates intertwined after a chance encounter. Can Nesta and Cassian overcome all odds to be together?

Creator Highlight #12 - @podemechamardek

Welcome back to Nessian Creator Highlights!! We want to take a moment to recognize the amazing individuals in our fandom who kindly use up so much of their free time and creative energy to share their work with us!

This week we're highlighting @podemechamardek! As one of our beloved art commissioners, she's brought many different Nessian scenes to life - both canon based and her own interpretations of their dynamic.

As we've said before, we love all of the commissioners in this fandom for dedicating both time and money towards content we can all enjoy.

@podemechamardek's commissions provide such a range of Nesta and Cassian's characters - showing them both as the fierce warriors that they are, but also the soft moments they share.

In addition to her commissions, @podemechamardek is so kind and makes a point to uplift other content creators. We are so lucky to have her here and we hope you love her commissions as much as we do!

Creator Highlight #3 - @kale-theteaqueen

Welcome back to Nessian Creator Highlights!! We want to take a moment to recognize the amazing individuals in our fandom who kindly use up so much of their freetime and creative energy to share their work with us!

Today we want to highlight @kale-theteaqueen

@kale-theteaqueen is one of those rare talents who manages to capture the nuances of Nesta's inner turmoil, her angst, her trauma. Her understanding and love make for compelling narratives centered, often, around healing arcs and empowering the voices of characters who are often forgotten and sidelined in favor of their sexier male counterparts.

And of course, it's never a true highlight without talking about how wonderfully kind @kale-theteaqueen has been to other members of our community. The critics have spoken, they all agree: she's one of the nicest nessians around! If you've ever wanted to get to know her, drop her a line and say hi!

Lady Death and Her Kingdom: When Amren pushes Nesta too far at training, she unlocks the full potential of her power, and with it comes devastating consequences. A post-ACOWAR AU in which Lady Death sees the dead, with chaotic results.

To Pay A Debt: 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.

Burning From the Inside Out: Nesta had lived with pain all her life. She thought she knew how to keep it controlled, secret, afraid to burden her family even more with her inadequacy. Then, she was thrown into the Cauldron. Now, try as she might, the stolen fire that rages inside her only makes things worse, until she can no longer maintain the stone-faced mask that had gotten her through the first two decades of her life. When her truth comes to light, how will her family perceive her weakness? And more importantly, how will it affect an already tenuous relationship with a certain Illyrian? An AU in which Nesta has secretly lived with chronic pain her whole life, only to have it exacerbated by the powers she took from the Cauldron.

Creator Highlight #7 - @perseusannabeth

Welcome back to Nessian Creator Highlights!! We want to take a moment to recognize the amazing individuals in our fandom who kindly use up so much of their freetime and creative energy to share their work with us!

This week we're highlighting @perseusannabeth! Truly a multi-shipping queen, her blog has something for everyone, canon ship or not! However, this is a nessian blog and we're MOST obsessed with the nessian works she'd created!

Additionally, @perseusannabeth is incredibly friendly and welcoming, and just a wonderful addition to our fandom space! She's the whole package: talented, funny, AND nice. Be still our beating hearts!

You can find all of her works in her masterlist HERE, or check out some of our favorites below:

Sick Of You: When Cassian turns up to collect Nesta for their trip to Rhys and Feyre’s house, he instantly knows something is not right. Looks like their trip will have to wait. 

Don't Look Away (Okay Just A Peek): Nesta and Cassian live together and then start dating. Typical them, doing things the wrong way around. Watch them try to navigate being in a very new relationship while also living together!

Let Me Be Your Home: As a young woman in regency Prythian, Nesta is well aware that she cannot remain unmarried. It’s just their way of life. This thinking still doesn’t make the fact she is recently widowed, and about to marry a man she’s never met any easier. She just hoped that he was kinder than her now-dead husband, and wouldn’t mind the scars she came with, or add to them.

Creator Highlight #5 - @jmoonjones

Welcome back to Nessian Creator Highlights!! We want to take a moment to recognize the amazing individuals in our fandom who kindly use up so much of their freetime and creative energy to share their work with us!

If you've been around for a minute, you've likely seen the distinctive art style of @jmoonjones. Injecting humor into her pieces, either by Brayxis tormenting Cassian in a myriad of creative schemes, or the famous Shadow Babies, Jmoonjones keeps us all well entertained in her free time.

Outside of being a wildly talented artist, Jmoonjones is also incredibly lovely and wonderfully generous. She makes our nessian community warmer, brighter, and an overall fun space to be in.

Creator Highlight #9 - @unhealthyfanobsession

Welcome back to Nessian Creator Highlights!! We want to take a moment to recognize the amazing individuals in our fandom who kindly use up so much of their freetime and creative energy to share their work with us!

Today we'd like to highlight @unhealthyfanobsession! If you've never met them, @unhealthyfanobsession write both fabulous nessian fanfiction AND creates thoughtful and detailed meta that many readers may have missed.

Their passion for nessian extends to the fabulous fics they've put together. @unhealthyfanobsession fleshes out their characters, expands upon their relationships, and fills in the gaps in order to create a satisfying arc for our favorite pairing.

Check out some of our favorites below, or check out their masterlist HERE:

Amidst The Madness: Love and war have always followed the same rules: Quick to ignite, slow to extinguish. There aren't many things Cassian has dared to openly want in his 500 years of existence. Not even the position he currently occupies as Lord of Windahaven (far too lofty a spot for nothing more than a well-blodded bastard, if you ask the other Illyrian Lords), but from the second Nesta Archeron stepped foot in his camp, the entire world ebbed into a single truth.

She is his.

He is hers.

Everything else - the war he is meant to lead, the people relying on him, the legacy he should be fighting to protect, cease to exist the second his eyes are caught in roiling silver flames. There is pain in this female, his female. And retribution will be exacted. Rhysand has his war, and now so does Cassian. Whether the two align ... only Nesta can give that order.

Golden Threads of Time:

Nesta and Cassian have never required blades or leathers to spar with each other. Weapons change, battles are fought and won and lost and white flags are waved. They say things they don't mean, do things they regret. They aren't good at this. Love. Neither of them grew up knowing what that emotion was, so of course they didn't recognize it when it wrapped its fickle fist around their hearts. No, Nesta and Cassian are not good at love. But what they have is not love. It is life. Bright, passionate, blinding, and vital to their very being's as oxygen. One does not love to breathe, they simply die without it. Nesta and Cassian are not a love story... they are an inevitability.

A collection of Nessian drabbles and one-shots posted from my Tumblr (UnhealthyFanObsession). Some pre-ACOSF, some Post-ACOSF, some in an alternate timeline that I just made up and ran away with. Some smut, some sweet, some angst. Enjoy!

Assentio Mentium:

Assentio Mentium: Latin. Commonly used legal maxim literally translated to “The meeting of minds”. A central tenet of contract law meaning that no understanding can be reached unless both parties are of the same mind going into the agreement.

From the moment they met in a prep course for the Bar exam, Cassian knew that he had found the love of his life. Brash, outspoken, brilliant, gorgeous, and above all, passionate. Nesta Archeron was perfect for him. And he was perfect for her. All he had to do was make her see that. This might just be his hardest case yet.

Creator Highlight #6 - @c-e-d-dreamer

Welcome back to Nessian Creator Highlights!! We want to take a moment to recognize the amazing individuals in our fandom who kindly use up so much of their freetime and creative energy to share their work with us!

You've likely seen @c-e-d-dreamer floating around the nessian tags, either for her wonderful art commissions, her incredible fics, or her willingness to roll out the welcome mat for new nessians! Her generous spirit and friendly disposition makes the nessian tag a safe and supportive space for all new folks looking for a soft landing!

Besides being so wonderfully kind, @c-e-d-dreamer is also an impossibly talented fic writer. If you're looking for nessian angst, look no further- and if you're looking for hockey Nessian, she is absolutely your expert!

Check out some of our favorites below:

Top Shelf Love: After an embarrassing first meeting at her youngest sister’s engagement party, Nesta swears that she’ll never think about hockey hotshot Cassian Valdarez ever again. But then he’s moving to her city, refusing to get out of her bookstore, and seemingly determined to get under her skin. When Cassian gets traded to the Seattle Kraken, it feels like his whole life changes. The last thing he expects is Nesta Archeron, his sister-in-law’s sister and the only person he knows when he moves across the country. Unfortunately for him, the only thing Nesta wants is for Cassian Valdarez to get out of her bookstore. He’s determined to change her mind. Aka: the most self-indulgent hockey AU you’ll ever read

But I'm Only Looking At You: Cassian has been in love with Nesta Archeron for years and hopes to one day ask for her hand. But when Cassian learns that Nesta is set to marry the Viscount Tomas Mandray, he’s ready and willing to do anything to stop it, including doing something very very stupid. Aka a Regency AU inspired by Taylor Swift’s Speak Now

Wonderland: And in the end, in Wonderland, we both went mad What if Nesta rejected the mating bond without understanding the consequences? What if Cassian was driven to madness by the rejected bond?
