Fics like If You Stretch Out Your Hand, I Think You Can Reach Mine

Velaris is home, in every way that should matter. Still, at night, Cassian sometimes looks up at the sky and feels the old, quiet panic move beneath his ribs. He’s General of the Night Court’s armies, the Lord of Bloodshed, Carynthian, bastard-born son of a nameless Illyrian woman whose face has been blurred by time. He has survived wars, has been on battlefields so soaked with blood he was afraid he’d never emerge. He has survived losing friends, gaining brothers, and failing people important to him. He’s all that, but still, at times, being in Velaris seems to be the thing that can undo him. Because there are too many lights, and all of them soften the sky until the stars blur or vanish entirely. Whole constellations disappear above the city, whole stretches of the heavens going missing. Ancient markers, old routes, and familiar shapes, some of which once held him steady through hunger and cold and fear, end up hidden beneath the pretty golden haze of civilization. ————— Nesta finds Cassian after a hard day in Illyria, and he tells her more about Illyria's stories of the sky and the stars.
