#nessianweek2025

I thought more about respect than worship for Day Six: Reverence ✷ for @nessianweek. In my opinion, SJM missed the boat in ACOSF by having Cassian take off-page dance lessons with Mor - I get that she wanted him to surprise Nesta but that translates to more quality time with Mor and less time on-page spent dancing with Nesta. Meanwhile, Nesta participated in Cassian's interests throughout the book (whether or not she wanted to is a discussion for another day). She even read books that Cassian liked to read. It didn't feel like a two-way street. I would've liked to have seen Cassian participating in Nesta's interests with Nesta, even if that means being a little irreverent in the process.

For @nessianweek reverence. Just a soft moment of nessian

Happy Day 6 of @nessianweek 🩵 I know the end of ACOSF says a "disgustingly ornate" mating ceremony, and while I do think Nessian would have one of those for friends and family, I'd like to think they'd also have a ceremony just for them. One that's quiet and intimate. One that incorporates Illyrian and human traditions and represents them as people. One where the only focus is their love, their reverence for one another 🥹

I cannot thank @froggybogwitch enough for bringing this absolutely gorgeous piece to life! For taking my simple "so this is the vision/vibe" and turning it into this soft and beautiful and perfect masterpiece. I mean do you see all those details? 😍

For @nessianweek day 6: Reverence

My idea was Cassian finding out Nesta was pregnant and falling to his knees before in pure joy. May be basic but I really loved the idea.

✷ Announcing Nessian Week 2025! ✷

❤️‍🔥 Join us in celebrating Prythian's hottest couple for the fifth year in a row! ❤️‍🔥

Come celebrate Nesta and Cassian with us from September 21 through September 27, 2024! Feel free to participate in any way you can, from headcanons, fanart, moodboards, playlists, fics, drabbles…. no matter how big or small, anything celebrating Nessian is welcome! Please note this event will be happening on Tumblr, AO3, and Instagram only.

Please tag @nessianweek and use the tag #NessianWeek2025 to spread the word! If you're posting on Instagram, please tag @/nessianweek!

You can find Nessian Week 2024's masterlist here, 2023's masterlist here, Nessian Week 2022's masterlist here, and Nessian Week 2021's masterlist here!

This year's prompts are as follows:

Day One: Love Languages ✷ Nesta and Cassian have many different ways of showing their love for one another. How do you see them showing love to one another through words of affirmation, physical touch, acts of service, gifts, and quality time?

Day Two: Bargains ✷ Nesta and Cassian have made several bargains throughout the series, both to each other and with other characters across Prythian. How do you see those bargains playing out?

Day Three: No One Else ✷ "There will be no one else. For either of us." / "Yes." When Nesta and Cassian finally acknowledged their feelings for one another, we couldn't have been happier! What does "no one else" mean to you?

Day Four: Alternate Universe ✷ What do you think Nesta and Cassian's lives would look like outside of canon? How would they live in the modern world, a completely different fantasy world, or within the plot of your favorite book or movie? [Non-Canon AUs requested]

Day Five: Missing Moments ✷ Although we're happy to see Nesta and Cassian finally be together, there were many missing moments we didn't get to see throughout the series. How do you envision those moments?

Day Six: Reverence ✷ Cassian nearly went to his knees for Nesta while she was still human, and we don’t have enough room to talk about all the times they’ve gotten on their knees for each other since 😉 How do you see them showing reverence for one another?

Day Seven: Free Day ✷ Any topic of your choosing!

@nessianweek | Day 1- Love Languages

Nessian Week

“Whatcha reading, Nes?”

Sometimes quality time with your mate means sharing your current spicy read with them. Depending on the scene, Cassian is equal parts horrified, intrigued, and maybe a little turned on. Nesta has definitely come a long way since her more flustered, “The book is about a book,” days.
