@serendpitous Do You Believe In Fate? (kate)

@serendpitous — do you believe in fate? (kate)

"no." she responds simply. too simply. in the time that it takes for the music to come to an end and for the orchestra to prepare for their next piece, nesta realises that kate is fishing for more information with her question.

"i believe that we create our own fates. if you desire a happy ending, work is required. but fate is certainly a comforting thought. all of my favourite novels have a sense of kismet." for a fleeting moment she wonders if perhaps some people are more destined to create their own happiness than others. the same, she realises, could be said for MISERY. "— what do you think, miss sharma?"

@feydarling — “ if you die for me i’m gonna be really fucking mad keep your eyes open. ”

"many people strive to die as they lived." nesta's lips spread into a horrific smile, revealing the blood that has bubbled up in her throat and settled between her teeth. she's only vaguely aware of the wet sensation as it dribbles from the corner of her mouth. "...there are worse things to die for."

but she takes a SHUDDERING BREATH - a promise that she has no intention of dying - and fights the heaviness of her eyelids to survey the sky above. it's difficult for her to tell if the illyrians are moving impossibly fast amongst the clouds, or if her vision is simply blurring. "dying for merrill, now that would really piss me off."

Ella Purnell 🤍✨ insane beauty.

au where nesta comes out of the cauldron and immediately knows cassian is her mate.
