Fics like Hope Is A Dangerous Thing

She feels suddenly like she's suffocating. But Cassian is back to examining the walls, running his hand over the designs. "She really did cover everything, didn't she? Made beauty wherever she could." "She needed it." Nesta's chest feels tight. "Painting kept her sane." "And your father's carvings." Cassian says, that warm tone still in his voice. "Elain's garden. It's remarkable, really, how your family found ways to create even in the worst circumstances. To hold onto hope and beauty when everything else was falling apart." The words hit her like a blow. Hope. Beauty. Creation. She looks around the cottage, trying to see what he's seeing. Evidence of life, of joy carved out of misery. Proof that the Archerons survived, that they remained human even as they starved. Proof that Feyre and Elain and her father existed here, but nowhere in this miserable hovel is there any evidence of Nesta. ————— After visiting the decrepit cottage where she grew up, Nesta is forced to confront a painful truth. Spiraling from the realization that she’s absent from her own history, Cassian tries to right the wrongs that have been done to her.
