Summary
The bond flares to life in her chest—sharp, bright, Cassian—and Nesta’s entire body goes rigid even as she forces herself to reveal nothing.
Cassian lands first, Azriel following close behind. They’re both in their leathers, both clearly having come straight from Windhaven. Cassian’s face breaks into a grin when he sees her, sees the gathering, and something about that unguarded joy makes her throat close up.
“Well, isn’t this nice,” he says, striding inside with that easy confidence she used to find thrilling. “A family gathering and nobody told me?”
He crosses to where Nesta stands with Nyx, and before she can brace herself, he’s there, solid and warm and overwhelming. His hand comes to rest on the small of her back, familiar and possessive, and he presses a kiss to her temple that she feels like a brand.
“Hey, sweetheart,” he murmurs against her hair. “Miss me?”
—————
Months after Bryce Quinlan returned to Midgard, Nesta barely recognizes herself anymore. She can't wrap her mind around the concept of forever when she never asked to be immortal in the first place.
When Nesta finally breaks, Cassian is forced to confront every way he's failed her.

Summary
Four years after the events of AFFC/ADWD, a lost daughter of the North returns to Westeros. A deranged, humiliated queen drinks until her decisions seem to create a shadow of sense while the last Targaryen begins her reclamation of her home. An army of the dead march towards the Wall and the best defense is a man who has already known death. Mainly a Gendrya story, but some overall ASOIAF to satisfy the decade-plus we've racked our brains over what happens next.

Summary
The breaking happens three weeks to the day after Bryce Quinlan retrieves her parents from the House of Wind.
It is brutal, and as unapologetic as Lady Death herself often was, when fighting for what she believes in.
More than anything, it is loud.
Books are thrown around the private library, glasses are shattered with the intensity of a power that was supposed to have been bargained away yet lingered.
Unofficially (yet all but officially) confined to this place that was somehow both a beloved home and glorified prison, banned from her work in the Library or from interacting too frequently with her Valkyries, Nesta Archeron shatters into a million pieces.
Screaming and wailing, she breaks for hours, nearly throwing herself off the nearest balcony, before the lights flicker and a stray curtain wisps out to catch at her ankles, drawing her back.
Nesta Archeron breaks on a bright, sunny morning.
No one is there to witness it.
No one except a magical abode and its many, many ghosts.
The aftermath is as follows.

Summary
“Nesta.”
She doesn’t turn. Doesn’t move.
The bond in his chest is screaming. Her emotions crash over him in waves—despair, worthlessness, exhaustion, and underneath it all, a terrible calm. The calm of someone who’s made a decision.
“Step down.” His voice comes out harder than he intends. The voice of a general. But inside, he’s begging for her to listen.
“Go away.” Her voice is hollow. Empty. Nothing like the sharp, cutting tone he’s used to. Nothing like the fire he’s always admired.
This is worse than her anger. It’s defeat.
“No.” He takes a careful step closer, hands out like he’s approaching a spooked animal. “I’m not leaving.”
“I don’t want you here.”
“I don’t care.” Another step. The bond is pulling tight in his chest, urging him closer. Keep her safe. Keep her alive. “I’m not leaving you alone.”
He feels a flicker of something. Confusion, maybe. Or frustration that he won’t just let her do this.
“Please,” she whispers, and the word breaks his heart. “Please just go.”
“Not a chance, sweetheart.”
—————
When Cassian realizes how deep his harsh words hurt Nesta on Soltice, he takes her out of Velaris and brings her to Illyria.
