    Summary

    Nesta wakes to sunlight stabbing through unfamiliar curtains and the immediate, visceral knowledge that she’s made a terrible mistake.

    Her head throbs. Her mouth tastes like expensive wine and poor decisions. Her body aches in places that make her face heat even in her half-asleep state. She’s naked—completely, utterly naked—in a hotel bed that is definitely not hers, wrapped in sheets that smell like sex and some woodsy cologne that she can still taste on her tongue.

    The body beside her shifts, and Nesta freezes.

    Oh god. Oh no.

    —————

    Nesta wakes up in Cassian’s hotel room the morning after her sister’s wedding and immediately panics. This was not supposed to happen... Written for romance week day five: Only One Bed.

    Summary

    "Loneliness was a feeling Nesta Archeron was well accustomed to, but looking at them, at Lady Death and her General, she often found herself in a unique state of yearning.

    A yearning she only let herself feel while standing right here, alone, with her thoughts, and the strange kinship she felt with this goddess, the Queen of Queens, and Savior of Worlds.

    “She kind of looks like you.”

    Nesta blinked, irritation coming down like a hammer at the interruption to her solitude. Turning her head, she took in the man beside her. He was egregiously tall, dressed in a white T-shirt and jeans, an open flannel with rolled up sleeves overtop. His long hair was pulled back, and he was very obviously fit. A backpack was slung over one shoulder, casually.

    It was a sharp contrast to her turtleneck sweater and plaid skirt, her black tights and oxfords, the briefcase at her feet.

    “Excuse me?” She asked, blunt and cold.

    The man raised a hand, pointing to her beloved painting.

    “Lady Death. She kind of looks like you.”

    Summary

    The conductor clears his throat. “It appears we have… un petit problème.”

    But Nesta is already looking past him into the compartment, and she sees the problem immediately, and it’s not petit by any means.

    A man occupies the space, sprawled across one of the two facing bench seats with his long legs stretched out, boot heels scuffing the burgundy carpet. He wears dark trousers that have seen better days, and a waistcoat over a white shirt with the sleeves rolled to his elbows. A brown tweed jacket hangs from a hook beside the window. His hair, dark and too long, falls along a face that looks carved from rough stone, all hard angles and a shadow of stubble along his jaw. As Nesta and the conductor appear in the doorway, he glances up from the small leather-bound book in his hands, and she finds herself looking into hazel eyes that gleam with unmistakable amusement.

    “Well,” he says, voice low and rough around the edges, accented with something she can’t quite place. “This is unexpected.”

    —————

    When Nesta Archeron boards the Orient Express in a desperate attempt to flee scandal, she's forced to share a compartment with a large, insolent scoundrel. What could go wrong?

    Summary

    “Oh,” Mor said, sliding out of her shoes as they stepped inside. “And she arrived with that partner of hers. The other sister.”

    “She?” Cassian asked, sliding out of his jacket and hanging it on the hook. “Isn’t she a figure skater?”

    “Mhm. Hoping for the Olympics, or something. Her arrival even made the local paper; can you believe that shit?”

    “It did?”

    “Look.”

    Said paper was suddenly thrust into his face, and he looked down at the front page of their local journal. A small publication that typically reported on high school football games and community garage sales.

    ‘National Skating Champions to Practice at Local Rink Ahead of US Championship’

    Beneath the headline was a picture of two skaters – a vibrant red head, tall and sharp in his figure, and what was probably the most beautiful woman Cassian had ever seen.
