    Summary

    In the hall of Formenos, the messenger, solemn of mien, conveyed Lord Irmo and Lord Manwe’s heartfelt wish that Feanaro visit Lorien to heal the wounds Melkor had wrought upon him. Feanaro may be very much unwilling, but the alternative requires introspection which will hurt, heal, and ultimately change more than just his perspective.

    Summary

    "I am the queen of spades, I am the wasp that stings, I am the dark serpent. I am the invulnerable animal who passes through fire and is not burned." - Elena Ferrante, The Days of Abandonment

    Rhaella thinks perhaps the gods, any gods, have heard her prayers, when Aerys vomits up blood in bed. (Aerys dies before the 'trial' of Rickard and Brandon Stark can commence. In King's Landing, Rhaella at last finds her footing. On Dragonstone, Elia makes her preparations. And in the Tower of Joy, Lyanna comes to a series of cold realizations).

    Summary

    "All our silence could not excuse/Disappoint or further prove/Anything other than what we already know." - MS MR, 'All the Things Lost'.

    “Who did you promise?” she asks him, tearful with alarm and terror.

    He gives an odd sort of little half smile, then rasps, “Lyanna. I always kept my promises. She would have been so angry with me… otherwise. I had to help her. It was the only way.”

    “What was the only way?” Catelyn feels cold sweat dripping down her back, feels slightly feverish herself. “What do you mean, Ned? Did Lyanna ask you to do something?”

    “Keep him away… from Robert,” he whispers. “To protect him.”

    (Mortally wounded during the Greyjoy Rebellion, a delirious Ned makes a deathbed confession to Catelyn, leaving her to pick up the pieces of both her life and Jon Snow's.)

    Summary

    "Mother said at birth, 'Boy, you better only take what you can hold.'/So I stood there in the sun, only minutes young/With love and mercy all around/And that's where we began." - Cotton Jones, 'Only Minutes Young'.

    Sansa looks like a princess from a story; Tommen just gapes at the sight of her. Her ivory gown seems to glow through the light of those crystal windows he always found so pretty, and she’s wearing a grown woman’s skirts and bodice, not a little girl’s. Suddenly he feels even more a baby, cheeks stained apple red, averting his gaze in near shame until Mother jerks sharply on his arm and forces him to look back up again, at the waiting crowd filling the pews of the sept. The only thing that makes him feel any better is that her cloak seems just as big on her as his does on him. As though they were just playing a game. Cella and him used to dress up and play games, although they never pretended to be husband and wife. But maybe if he can pretend it is not real, and just a fancy, he will feel better.

    (In which Sansa is wed to Tommen, not Tyrion).

    Summary

    “Punching Phil will not endear you to Mrs. Rushland,” I warned.

    Clint frowned. “Are you sure? Because I feel like he’d look better with a couple of black eyes.”

    In which men are men, spies are spies, and the path of true love would run smoother if one of them was a 1.6 oz dimpled white ball, and the other one wasn't dead.

    Summary

    Two related, but different divergence timelines, one from JGY's perspective, and one from LXC's. The former focuses on the divergence itself, while the latter is more about the aftermath. The shorter canon-compliant pieces were written as prequels specific to their divergence, but are also designed to work for either, or as standalones.

    😭😍 I love this so much—gives a real feeling for what their lives would have been, during the timeskip, after JGY was established as xiandu—the work, yes, I should say their work, as it is the work of their lives, separate and together, and really their lives continuing, separate and together (in some sense) but always with the bond of affection and understanding and support which informs and indeed transforms both of their lives—and the real sense of the joy of and in that connection.... 😍

    Summary

    "I have come to offer an apology and ask your forgiveness," Lan Xichen says, keeping his eyes on the floor in front of him. Meng Yao takes a step closer, so Lan Xichen bows before he can get close enough to stop him, hands on the floor, forehead touching the tops of his fingers. The warm metal of his headband presses into his fingers as if taunting him. "I have put you in danger these past months," he confesses, "for no reason other than my own selfishness."

    Lan Xichen seeks forgiveness, and something more.
