Rhysand felt a surge of star-flecked darkness identical to his own go through the River House Manor in the early hours of the morning, briefly rattling the windows and shaking the floor as he sat at his desk reading a memo from the Winter Court.

"Nyx," he sighed, running a hand through his raven hair. Just like himself, the boy was an early riser, and just like Feyre, he had a temper. Their son was still learning to control his growing power, and when distressed, he loses control of his darkness before he reels it in a second or two later. He just hopes Nyx didn't wake his mother up.

As he felt Feyre's lovely light within the bridge of the mating bond, he realized it was too late. She was stirring awake. She was as attuned to Nyx as he was, much more so. Before his exhausted mate could get up from bed to check on their 8-year-old son and whatever caused him to be upset, he whispered to her with a soothing voice he hoped would lull her back to sleep, "I'll check on him, Feyre darling. Sleep and dream of me."

"Mhmmm okay," Feyre relented too easily, clearly wanting to sleep more, and added, "then come back to bed after."

Rhysand chuckled, sensing the palpable annoyance his mate felt waking without him at her side, and promised her, "I will," before she dozed off and he got up from his chair.

Rhysand didn't need to follow the retreating darkness to know where Nyx was. He knocked twice on the ajar door, letting Nyx be aware of his presence, before entering his bedroom. He found their son still in pajamas with his ruffled hair, sitting on a stool, hunched over a blank canvas, and covering his face with his palms. His wings drooped low as a few remaining tendrils of darkness and stars swirled around him. Placing a hand on his shoulder, he asked, "Is everything alright, Nyx?"

Nyx turned around to face him, and at the sight of his father's concern, he blinked away the darkness, letting the sunlight streaming through the wide, open balcony shine into his bedroom. "Yes, dad, I'm sorry. I'm just—" he trailed off, looking down at a discarded brush smudged with blue paint staining the white carpeted floor. The paint brush was one of a kind, lovingly engraved with Nyx's name on the handle—a gift from Feyre for their son a few years ago when he wanted to paint just like his mom on his fifth birthday.

Rhys knelt down, picking up the brush with one hand and snapping a finger with the other, cleaning the brush and returning the carpet to its pristine condition. "Are you having a bad painting day?" he asked gently, handing over the brush.

Nyx nodded, cradling the brush against his chest. "How does mom do it perfectly, dad? I see a picture in my mind, but when I paint, it's all wrong." His shadowed blue eyes pointed to two similar abandoned paintings resting on the floor—a silhouette of Azriel and Cassian training with swords during dawn. He admired his uncles and wanted his painting to do them justice. He didn't think they did.

Rhysand gave a comforting smile. He wasn't sufficiently versed in painting techniques, but he knew Nyx paintings were beautiful and exemplary for a fae youngling. However, Nyx was a perfectionist, and Rhys understood the desire to get everything as planned. "Your mom doesn't always get it right, Nyx." He gave another smile. "Don't tell her I said that."

Nyx raised an eyebrow. "She doesn't?" he asked, disbelief in his voice.

"No," Rhysand said, lightly pinching Nyx's freckled nose. "She practices and practices until she does everything right."

Nyx's face turned into awe for his mother until his self-doubt made him glum. "But what if I never get it right? What if I am never able to paint what I see in time? How do I not lose the picture in my mind?"

Rhysand shook his head. "I don't believe for one moment that you cannot achieve anything you want in life, Nyx, and that includes painting your vision in your head."

"Dad..." Nyx whined and frowned over the praise.

Rhys chuckled at his son's reaction and added, "But I suppose this is where being Daemati comes in handy."

"Really?" Nyx perked up, standing and extending his wings in excitement. "How? Show me, dad, please."

Rhysand could never deny him anything, and so he stood up too and extended a hand, which Nyx took immediately. A talon hand gently tapped at Nyx's mental shields, and Nyx let them drop, letting his father into his mind.

Nyx's mind was wondrous. A starry night sky enveloped them as countless open storybooks floated about, flipping through pages of happy memories he held dear since he was a babe and every day after.

It wasn't the first time Rhysand was invited into Nyx's mind, but it stunned him every time he saw it. A sense of heartwarming peace came over him, knowing that their son has yet to endure any pain or suffering in his life. Outwardly, Rhysand rubbed his chest, and Nyx held his hand tighter.

Remembering the task at hand, Rhysand instructed, "Carve out a new space in your thoughts, Nyx, and in that space imagine a big enough chest to store all the pictures you want to keep safe from forgetting."

Nyx shut his eyes and concentrated hard until he projected them both to a darkened corner of his mind before turning it into a snow-covered pine forest. In its clearing in the middle stood a magnificent open chest made of starlight. "Like that, dad?"

"Like that," confirmed Rhysand. "Good job," he said, beaming with pride and admiring his son's work.

"Now what?" asked Nyx eagerly.

"Now, Nyxie, imagine all the pictures you see in your mind neatly tucked away inside this chest you created for safekeeping," Rhysand said, pointing to the empty space inside the chest.

As soon as his father left his mind, Nyx's eyes fluttered open and shone brightly with stars. "Thank you for everything, dad," he said, smiling adoringly up and hugging him tight. 

Nyx did exactly as his father instructed, and soon the chest was half-full. Rhysand wasn't surprised because Nyx was as creative as Feyre was, and so he gave one last piece of advice as he watched Nyx shut the chest closed before leaving his mind. "As your ideas grow, my love, you can make your treasure chest grow with them, whether or not you choose to paint them and share them with the world one day." Outwardly, he dropped a kiss on top of his head and uttered, "Though always remember your mom and I would be endlessly proud of you either way."

When Rhysand finally joined Feyre in bed, he found her sitting up waiting for him with tears in her eyes and a soft smile on her face. "Oh Rhys."

"You heard?" he asked, wrapping his arms around her waist and kissing her neck.

Caressing his strong, muscled back, she simply said, "You left the bond open. How could a mother resist?"

"Our beautiful darling boy will be okay, Feyre. No need to fret."

"I know, my love, because he has you as his father, and I thank the Mother for that."

Rhysand blinked back grateful tears, and Feyre kissed him sweetly and tenderly as they slipped back under the covers, dreaming away the rest of the early morning.

Juie - Feysand Oneshot

Hello everyone! I apologize for none of my usual fanfic updates this week. Unfortuantately, a lot of this summer will be like that, including next week. I also thought I'd take a break and do some new stuff, like oneshots - which I have LOVED doing. There's no pressure to make a huge plotline, and I just love writing happy fluff.

As y'all probably know, I'm mostly a Throne of Glass girly, but I though I'd switch it up with some ACOTAR, which I also love. HOWEVER, because Feysand isn't AS MUCH - it still is, just smaller - of my baby as Rowaelin is, this writing isn't the best but - what ya gonna do, you know?

I hope you enjoyed! Tell me if you'd like to be added to the tag list or if you'd like to see more ACOTAR fics! If you have requests for a couple fic, just message me or comment :)

No matter how hard she tried, Feyre’s painting just looked wrong. 

She cocked her head and chewed on the wooden end of her paintbrush as she surveyed her half-finished painting. It was supposed to be an abstract portrait of her family, the Night Court Inner Circle. It wasn’t to show her family’s true faces and bodies, but a blur of colors and shapes. In Feyre’s original vision, which had come to her in the middle of breakfast, the painting would leave viewers a bit spooked, or intrigued. She’d hoped to convey her loved ones' traumas through the paint, but it wasn’t working. Although the painting was beautiful, it just felt…flat.

Heaving a sigh, Feyre checked the clock on the wall of her studio. It was time to meet her mate and son for dinner. She packed up her supplies and waved at Ressina as she stepped out into the warm Velaris air. It was early summer, and the Square was filled with laughing people shopping. The sight filled her chest with buoyant joy. We did this, she thought to herself as she made her way to her home. 

She stepped through her threshold, shutting the heavy door behind her. “I’m home!” she called throughout the house. She smiled as she heard giggling around the corner, and she turned to see her five year old son running down the stairs to her. Nyx squeezed her tight, and Feyre picked him up and twirled him around, taking a deep breath of his perfect scent, made up of baby soap and stars. 

“Where’s your dad, baby?” she asked him, setting him down. Nyx’s black brows scrunched together adorably as he wracked his tiny mind. 

“Uhmmmmm…..,” he frowned. “Daddy said that…I think that he said he would meet us at the rest-y-raunt.” Nyx was still learning pronunciations for big words, which was so precious it made her heart burst.

“Oh - is that so?” Feyre raised an eyebrow. “Hmm. Well! Are you dressed for dinner, baby?” 

Nyx nodded, gesturing proudly to his boxers and huge gray shirt that smelled strongly of Cassian - the little boy worshiped his uncle and wanted to be him when he grew up. Although it certainly wasn't a proper dress code for the fancy new restaurant they were going to, Feyre had no problem with her son’s attire. She herself was wearing a white wool sweater and black leggings, her hair pulled into her usual braid.

The mother and son traveled through the streets of Velaris, hand in hand. People smiled and waved to them, forever adoring of the two who saved their world and the loveable child born from the union. Finally, they reached the huge building that they would dine at - Juie. Nyx was exhausted from the fifteen minute walk and his hunger, and was wining and dragging his feet. Feyre pulled him into the restaurant, searching for her husband. And there he was. 

Rhysand, standing with his hands in his pockets in the corner of the restaurant. He was dressed in his usual black attire, his hair effortlessly styled. As if sensing her eyes on him, he turned around to face them, and smiled. It lit up his whole beautiful face. 

Gods, would there ever be a day when his face didn’t make her heart tighten?

No, there won’t be, my Feyre darling. Rhysand’s voice slid into her mind, making her smile and instantly let him through her shields. 

Prick, she shot down the bond, and advanced toward him. He sped to them too fast to be casual, and she bit back a grin as he reached them. 

“Hello, family!” he cried happily, picking up his son and planting a kiss on Feyre’s lips. His hand grazed her arm before pulling it back to twirl a squealing Nyx around.

Soon, they had been seated and were digging into a steak meal. Every taste exploded with flavor, and Feyre made a mental note to take her sisters and Mor out here one day. 

“How was your day, darling?” Rhys asked her, Nyx busy eating and coloring. He looked at her over their son’s head, smiling.

“It was alright,” Feyre shrugged, taking a sip of the iced tea she'd ordered(it was especially refreshing). “Do you remember that painting I told you about?”

“The Inner Circle one? It was abstract, right?”

“Yes, exactly. Only I can’t get it right. Something’s off. It doesn’t have the life I want it to have.” 

“Oh.” Rhys frowned and looked down at his plate, clearly wracking his brain for an artsy response. It made Feyre’s heart warm - her husband didn’t know a lot about painting, but he tried for her. “Maybe it’s the setting?” 

“Actually, maybe I could use a change of scenery,” Feyre replied, toying with the idea in her head. “I could continue at the house, but then I’d have other distractions-” she subtly motioned to Nyx, “around.”

“I’ll take Nyx out tomorrow. Give you some peace and quiet,” her mate offered, biting into his steak. She smiled at him. 

“Thank you, Rhys.”

Later that night, Nyx was long asleep and Rhys and Feyre were laying together, reading. Feyre sipped on some hot peppermint tea, and in her soft gray pajama set, she was perfectly relaxed. Even more so as her mate slid an arm around her, kissing down her neck. 

She set down her book, and laughing softly, turned to kiss Rhysand, his lips warm and gentle. She wound her fingers in his hair as he slid a hand down her leg. Maybe the pajama set would have to go. 

Sure enough, within minutes they were both fully unclothed. Feyre panted as Rhys slid his fingertips lightly down her stomach, so close to what she wanted. He met her gaze, his eyes near-black, as he circled around her spot of need. She made a small sound at the back of her throat, the sight of him there nearly making her explode. She arched into his fingers as he finally put them where she needed, gripping the bedsheets with her fists. 

When Rhys added his tongue to where his fingers were, she couldn’t take it and moaned as she finished, her mate making sure she enjoyed every second of it. He leaned back up to her, kissing her deeply. Finally, he pushed gently into her, filling every part of her. They clutched each other as they moved, Feyre pulling him into bruising kisses one after another. She tugged on his hair, biting his lip, cupping his neck, until he roared, taking her over the edge with him. 

They lay there together for a while, both panting. “I love you, Feyre,” Rhys whispered into her neck. 

“I love you too, Rhys.”
