happy day 3 of @nestaarcheronweek everyone! I had a lot of fun with this fic because we all know how much I love writing about secret agents, spies, and the like, so I hope y’all enjoy this one 💙 title taken from Independent Women Part 1 by Destiny’s Child (which is about Charlie’s Angels hehe). part two of this will come during @cassianappreciationweek 👀
Summary: Nesta, Emerie, and Gwyn are Valkyries, survivors of an elite, brutal program that raised them as assassins. They’re on a routine mission when Cassian forces them to change their plans…

Nesta
Nesta took a deep breath as she made sure she had everything she needed for tonight, taking one last look around her apartment before she locked up and headed toward the car. It was a short enough drive to the rendezvous point, and before she knew it she was on her way to the Valkyrie safe house she’d be using to get ready for tonight’s mission.
Emerie and Gwyn were already there when she arrived, calling out their greetings while Nesta headed to the bathroom to shower and start getting ready. She tried not to linger on any one thing as she went through her usual pre-mission routine; if there was one thing the Valkyrie Program had beaten into her, it was an ability to clear her mind so that her only true concern was the mission.
The Valkyrie Program had been a training program for young women that was so effective in training them to be assassins that it was easier for the governments of the world to turn a blind eye rather than try to take them down. Nesta, Emerie, and Gwyn had grown close as they’d managed to survive over the years. To be a Valkyrie was like something out of a comic book – they could blend into any crowd, speak dozens of languages, fight in any number of styles.
To be a woman was to be underestimated, and their handlers had taken full advantage of that. Nesta, Emerie, and Gwyn were some of the last graduates of the program – if you could call them that – but they’d never stop being Valkyries, not even after they’d made sure to burn the entire thing to the ground.
For @nestaarcheronweek day 1: Sister, I've decided to draw Nesta with her found sisters, Emerie and Gwyn, as the three Graces from Botticelli's "Spring"
Do you think Nesta loves Gwyn and Emerie more that Elain and Feyre? Or prefers G&E to E&F? Don't feel pressured to answer, love ya 🧡
I don’t think she loves the Valkyries more, she just loves them differently. Sibling and familial relationships are really different compared to your chosen family so I don’t think it should be a matter of whether Nesta loves her sisters more or less, but rather that she just has different relationships with them compared to Gwyn and Emerie. Even between siblings they have different relationships (I definitely have a different relationship with my brother than my sister because we’re much closer in age, but that doesn’t mean I love either of them less or more than the other!) so I try not to compare Nesta’s relationships in that way.
also love u too anon hehe 🧡

can you do just the valkyries getting ready to go to the club?with all the "omg, see the text he just send me", "what are you wearing", " can you borrow me those shoes" "can you do my eyeliner pls" you know :p
posting this one today in honor of @valkyriesweek! one of my favorite parts about acosf was seeing these three interact and I love their friendship so so much. I hope you all enjoy! 💙
Nesta was going to lose her mind within the next five minutes.
“Are you kidding me right now?” she fumed as she tore through Gwyn’s closet. She and Emerie had decided to get ready at Gwyn’s apartment to go out tonight for Gwyn’s birthday, but the redhead had decided at the last minute that she’d hated everything in her closet and had to find something new to wear.
I love them so much 😇
same. My babies 😩

POV : THE GIRLS GETTING DRUNK AND GETTING THE BAT BOYS' AND MORRIGAN'S TATTOO ON THEIR... well Nesta might get it on her boob, emerie on her thigh and Gwyn on her stomach. Feyre would probably get it on the bottom of her foot for some reason.
OR
THe other way around. I don't mind....
okay imma go with Cassian getting Nesta’s name tatted because he’s the most likely to do something like that 😭😭😭
Nesta was only ten pages from the end of her book when Rhys and Azriel called her in a state of panic.
“Nesta you have to get down here right now,” Azriel said. She’d never heard her friend so alarmed and immediately sat up from where she’d been lounging on her bed.
