Summary
Flying out at 7 am for a last minute work trip was already bad.
Flying out of Dulles was worse.
But to top it all off, Nesta's morning is entirely upended when the world's most obnoxious (read: gorgeous) pilot spills boiling hot coffee all over in what had to be the worst luck of all time.
Nesta was determined to forget it ever happened, to get through her week and back to her apartment where she could continue to hide away forever. But fate has other plans.

Summary
"Azriel watched as Nesta’s head lifted, so she could stare into his brother's eyes, and for several moments, they seemed enraptured by each other. Cassian even lifted a hand, to brush a strand of hair from her eyes.
But then, Mor’s vibrant red dress appeared into his periphery, and her sing-song voice called out,
“Cassian, I thought you promised to show me a good time!”
In an instant, whatever moment that was happening between him and Nesta was shattered. Abruptly, Cassian detached himself from Nesta’s side, dropping her hand like it was ice and responding loudly about how he always kept his promises.
Seemingly without another word, he was moving back into the blonde’s orbit.
It was a frigid slight, the absolute definition of a dick move. Azriel felt the horror that Nesta was valiantly trying to hide as acutely as his own – so much so that he cringed.
Cauldron, what a fucking idiot."

A post-ACOWAR pre-ACOFAS/ACOSF missing scene/fix-it of sorts in which Azriel has had enough of Cassian being a Moron and calls out his behavior surrounding Nesta and Mor ft. angst with a happy ending.

Summary
England - May, 1944
“Your husband doesn't write you.”
Nesta didn't look up from where she was primly folding one of his men's uniforms.
“Well, Captain, he is fighting a war.”
Cassian frowned, knowing full well the men in his Company wrote every chance they could, anxious to hear from their wives, to be reminded what it was all for. Her words were an excuse. A deflection from a lovelessness that cracked his heart in two.
“I don't suppose you would let me?” He asked.
"Let you what?"
“Write you, sweetheart.”
--
While training for the Allies' invasion Europe, Captain Cassian Garcia of the 505th Parachute Infantry Regiment meets the mysterious Nesta Mandray and finds a light in the darkness. Beautiful, if not burdened by some deep sadness, he finds he cannot stay away, even with the ring around her finger.
When Nesta Mandray meets the bold, yet inexplicably handsome American Officer lodging next door, her dream of escape from a loveless marriage becomes increasingly hard to ignore. But a life scarred makes for a woman cautious, and it will take more than brief conversations over clean linens to convince her to take a leap of faith.

Summary
When Feyre overhears Nesta informing Cassian that the family's teasing has gotten to be too much for her, she realizes that there are many things about her sister that she may not know. That she is not privy to. Things, perhaps, that are reserved just for her mate.
In an effort to understand the eldest Archeron better, her family attempts to investigate, only to come upon soft moments between Nesta and Cassian instead.
Cassian, however, wants nothing more than time to dote on his mate in private.
---
Or, 5 times the Inner Circle witnesses Nessian behind closed doors, and one time they're truly alone, based on the theme of respecting boundaries and learning healthy communication.

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.”

To Choose Her by TheTeaQueen

Summary
Instead of wings, long dark blonde hair fanned out on the pillows. A thin arm hugged the one this figure now rested her head on, as if she’d turned to grasp onto it whenever her bedmate had risen. Her breaths came slowly, deeply, a sign of an easy sleep.
She was beautiful in the sunlight, which caught on the freckles sprinkled across her skin. Not even Mor could deny it as she took in the sight.
But what was most striking was the fact that, underneath the sheet that had been drawn up to her shoulder, Nesta Archeron was decidedly bare in Cassian’s bed.
Cassian stood in front of his dresser, his back facing her, yet had turned his head on her arrival. Seemingly frozen in the middle of buttoning one of the sleeves of the cotton shirt he’d donned – distinctly not his usual training leathers – he was looking at her with an expression Mor didn’t think she’d ever been on the receiving end of.
There was no kindness there, no warmth that he usually greeted her with. Instead, there was a fierce irritation, a protectiveness, even. The message was clear even to her basest of fae instincts.
A warning.

Summary
Nesta notoriously only says Cassian's name when it's important.
When she's angry, or afraid. When she's in pain, or in pleasure.
He can remember each and every time, treasuring the sound of it on her lips.
And the day she says it casually, he knows he's found true peace.
---
Or, five times Nesta says Cassian's name with a purpose, one one time she says it just because.
