    Summary

    In the end, she had been given one semi-normal Solstice. One where, while still feeling more than a little outcast, she had been embraced by enough of these people to feel something other than abject despair or disdain for the fae holiday.

    Naturally, she’d ruined all of that just in time for the next one.

    Semi-good graces one year, back on the periphery the next.

    Such was the price for saving the universe.

    Nursing a warm cup of mulled wine, she observed the rituals of the day in solemn silence.
    ---
    In which Solstice is a time to be grateful for those we love, and in the aftermath of Bryce Quinlan wreaking havoc in their world, some holiday magic just might be what is needed to heal the wounds left behind.

    Summary

    “You brought me breakfast. Of course. Some kind of peace offering from the great High Lord and his inner circle?” Cassian finally rallied his composure before this conversation could get any further off track.

    “Yes. Breakfast.” He held out the bag to her. “Seemed like an appropriate gift, from a new neighbor.”

    Someone who didn’t know her might have been forgiven for thinking they were already witnessing the pinnacle of Nesta Archeron’s rage. But as her scowl twisted into something deeper, Cassian knew he’d only scratched the surface. “Neighbor?!”
    --
    Cassian is outraged by the Inner Circle's plan to force Nesta to move into the House of Wind against her will. To make sure she has support available without taking away her choices, he proposes an alternative : he's moving in next door to her, and is determined to earn her trust by not repeating their earlier mistakes.

    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.
