    Summary

    Nesta was prepared to die. For Feyre, she would give everything.

    When Nesta sacrifices herself to save Feyre, the only person able to save her is the one who has hated her the most: Rhys.

    Cassian was so tired of watching his mate drown in her self hatred, her despair, and he'd just wanted her to find peace. But now, he would do anything for her to wake up and come back to him, even if it meant living through that grief and sorrow all over again.

    This is an AU for ACOSF, where Nesta trades her life for Feyre's instead of giving up her power, only it doesn't go as the Cauldron expects. This will focus heavily on Rhys and Nesta learning about each other and resolving their differences, as well as addressing how Nesta's trauma was handled by the IC (Also Rhys will apologize for his secret keeping).

    CW: Sexual assault, suicidal thoughts/attempts/ideation, child abuse, trauma, grief, and death.
