    Summary

    When Daemon Targaryen claims his bastard daughter, Maelyra, born from a pirate captain he took for a lover in his time as King of the Narrow Sea, it’s not to raise her in court and gown her in dresses. That’s for his trueborn daughters, Baela and Rhaena. No, Lyra, the child of a fallen Tyroshi pirate captain, possesses too many skills Daemon can use in his strategies and plots, as he senses building strife between the courts of Queen Alicent and Princess Rhaenyra. He needs a spy, an assassin, and a dragonrider no one expects, so he brings his bastard into the household of Driftmark, disguised as nothing more than a foreign serving girl.

    Lyra grows up between Driftmark, the Red Keep, and Dragonstone in the events leading up to the Dance, and as tensions rise, her loyalties are tested, especially when she finds herself caring for someone who may bring doom upon those she calls kin.

    (Basically all of Rhaenyra and Daemon’s kids have a secret older sister who will smother them with eldest sister energy in all events leading up and into the Dance. Also slow burn friends-to-enemies-to-secret-third-thing between female OC/Aemond.)

    Tom watched as the mother and son stop at a spot by the fountain. The witch whom he's never met before in his life, with bushy brown hair atop a heart-shaped face, and the boy who looked exactly like him when he was at that age.

    Summary

    Craigh na Dun was a place that always gave her the chills, and not because of the cold. The rocks organized in an almost perfect circle, and the way sound traveled through them, always seemed weird to her. That and the way they seemed to buzz with energy, almost like bees singing a melody, or the static sound old TVs used to make after being turned off.

    "Besides the body, this is the only indication there was someone else here, and that this was a murder."

    There, right next to the stone that stood in the middle of the circle, a body laid with a black plastic cover on top, being gently ruffled by the cold wind. The grass beneath the body was darker than the rest. And above the body, on the big stone as if they were in an 80's horror movie, two bloodied palms were printed on the surface.

    ~

    While investigating a crime, Detective Aurora Cameron stumbles upon the impossible: mystical time travel. Following the culprit, she ends up in the 18th century, lost and alone. The craziest idea forms into her head, and now with the help of one red-headed, blue eyed and tall scot by the name of Jamie Fraser, they will bring justice to the victim of that crime.

    Summary

    (we all fall down.)

    Contrary to popular belief, she did not come into the world snarling like a rabid bitch to be put down. There was no foaming at the mouth, no sharpened glare and certainly none of that piercing shriek. There was no auspicious star, no malicious blood-curse.

    Pansy Parkinson is the only daughter of a declining Pureblood house, a mean girl of a side character, largely unimportant in the scheme of things.

    Or rather - she was.
