Nesta Archeron is stuck between the planes of life and death: a consequence of a near-fatal accident. Nearing the one-year mark of that fated day, she has established a close kinship with Gwyn, a nurse and a medium whom she finds similarities with.
When it becomes apparent time is of the essence, Nesta had to reassess what she really wants to do, and begins to contemplate old ties.
Which is hard when only three or so people know she's actually alive. And Gwyn in paralyzed with social anxiety. Her best friend Emerie has her own hurdles to juggle. And all that's left his her Brother-In-Law who seems to want to makes amends - but was the one who kept her actual status a secret to her entire family until it bit both of them in the behinds.
Besides her kidney, there are a lot for complications for Nesta the sometimes-friendly ghost to overcome.

Summary
Hey everyone! After about a year since I’ve read ACOSF, I’ve decided to write my own version. I was very disappointed by the way SF was handled. Everyone is entitled to their own opinion, and I understand that Nesta is imperfect and highly flawed. I will not, however, stand idly by while people villainize her. The way she treated Feyre was wrong, but I don’t see that energy directed towards their father or Elain the same way.
Secondly, and more significantly, I want to discuss how Nesta is more hated than a cruel, neglectful leader and his Inner Circle who have all committed much more heinous crimes over the centuries than being a bad sister. Rhys has hurt Feyre worse than nest an ever could and I can't keep quiet about it because there are young impressionable girls out there who are seeing the glorification of Rhysand's behavior.
Lastly, the Inner Circle have admitted that they also behaved similarly to Nesta after their own first war, but were given decades and not mere months.
With all that being said, my goal is just to try and do Nesta's story justice. I hope you all enjoy this fic!

A Court of Unforged Hearts by limeandorange, MissMandi

Summary
Nesta Archeron has always been seen as a weapon—a volatile force to be wielded when convenient, feared when not. After the scrying for the Mask, everything unravels. Fractured relationships, hidden truths, and growing threats force Nesta to make a choice: remain a pawn of the Night Court or carve her own path.
Meanwhile, Eris Vanserra watches from the Corner. His loyalty is as sharp as his tongue, his motives always unclear. But as political alliances shift and dangers loom from within and beyond, Eris finds himself drawn to the very woman the Night Court fears most.
This is a story of rebirth and rebellion, of fractured hearts and fragile hopes. A story of masks—both literal and figurative—and the power to choose who you become once the masks are removed. But mostly, this is a love story. 💖
Sometimes, the darkest paths lead to the brightest dawns.

Summary
He had long since left the dance floor, but Eris Vanserra still felt the burn of silver fire on his skin.
Nesta Archeron.
She had danced with him like she wanted to burn him alive, and Mother help him, he hadn’t wanted to be anywhere else.
The music hadn’t stopped, but the moment had. Still, some part of him was caught in it—off balance, branded, wondering if he’d imagined the whole damn thing.
He should leave. He’d made his move. He'd shown his hand. Maybe more than he should have, outright turning down the gift of a Made weapon in exchange for a chance at Nesta's hand in marriage.
There was nothing more to be gained here.
And yet.or
A retelling of ACOSF, starting at the Winter Solstice Ball, where Eris decides that he can’t—won’t let Nesta slip out of his grasp this easily. Nesta, feeling trapped in a life she never chose, accepts his offer to train her power at the Autumn Court.
This is a story about choice and healing on your own terms.UPDATING EVERY FRIDAY!
All chapters are fully drafted, and I'm currently (lightly) reworking chapters 1-10 ♥ -

It's been a few months since Nesta and Cassian's mating ceremony, but things haven't been as rosy with the newly mated couple as they make out. Eris is now High Lord, and the Inner Circle attend his coronation in the Autumn Court.
One drink becomes a conversation. A conversation becomes an escape. What begins as a sharp exchange between the two of them soon grows into something neither of them expected: honesty, temptation, and the recognition of the darkness in one another. In the gardens of the Autumn Court, two people who swore they’d never bend discover how dangerous it is to be understood. Worse still, they each long for the next encounter, whenever it may come.
(Or, the post-Nessian mating bond turned Neris love story no one asked for)

Summary
Nesta liked to think she was strong. She was strong, and she would not break. Had never broken, but she found that she was brittle and on the verge of breakdown now. How weak she had become. Her mother would be turning in her grave if she saw her eldest daughter now, slumped over a wooden barstool and clutching a glass mug of muddy liquid.
There was the coppery tang of blood on her lips, and Nesta startled to find her lips bitten and bloody. She decided she didn’t care. Couldn’t bring herself to dredge up any shred of anger, any shred of emotion at all. She brought her mug to her lips. The sting of beer meeting her lips did not bother her. Nothing did, at this point, she supposed. The alcohol and men were just ways to make her feel something again.
Anything to feel again.

Summary
Nesta knew that even if she accepted what she knew in her heart, even if she accepted the mating bond with Cassian he would never put her first.
Rhysand and Feyre and Azriel and Morrigan and Amren would always be first.
His inner circle.
His court of dreams.
There would never be a place for her. No matter how much he would pretend otherwise.
At least Eris would not hide that she would always be second.
That night as she drifted off to sleep Nesta already knew her choice. She chose the one that would enable her to live. To live and not just survive.
She chose Eris.
***
Nesta Archeron is tired of the Court of Dreams controlling her life. She is taking back control. And the first step is accepting Eris Vanserra's marriage proposal.

Nobody expected Eris Vanserra to propose marriage; once he had, they certainly did not expect she would accept. But Rhysand said Nesta had a choice, so she seized it with both hands, counting on the fact he would not break his word and risk damage to their alliance.
It wasn’t an easy decision to make, but Nesta knows it was right when she thinks of everything that brought her here.
Nesta leaves the Night Court to forge a path of her own, and a marriage of convenience becomes something more.
