Summary
In which, hundreds of years after their deaths, Jacaerys Velaryon and Aegon Targaryen wake up again, as if they were plucked out of time on the day Jacaerys died in the Gullet. House Targaryen has fallen, and all that remains is a woman with countless titles, Daenerys Targaryen, the last of their line. With Winter approaching and Aegon's Dream on the brink of being realized, these lost descendants of House Targaryen must unite to face it, or fail their family's legacy.
As the rumors said, there were three dragons left in the world.

Summary
Italy had always been Vincenzo’s home, but even with Babel destroyed, he couldn’t bring himself to leave Korea. Things had fallen into place far too neatly for his liking. It made him wonder if there were still things he needed to see through, which was how he found himself sitting across from Hwang Min-seong.
“You look more terrified of me investigating your case than of spending a few years in prison,” Vincenzo accused. “Are you hiding something, Mr. Hwang?”
“Everyone is hiding something,” Min-seong replied bitterly. “Babel has been destroyed, and Shinkwang will be soon enough. What more do you want?”
Vincenzo leaned forward, peering at the other man through the glass. “I want the truth.”
What he didn't know then was the truth had been laid in front of him all along, if only he had been perceptive enough to see it, to see Min-seong for who he really was instead of who Choi Myung-hee made him out to be. Min-seong had been another victim in her game, and Vincenzo wouldn't let him continue to suffer for it.
Min-seong deserved happiness, and if he happened to decide that the mafioso made him happy, Vincenzo wouldn't be complaining.

Summary
Jesper was an addict, and he was never supposed to fall for his dealer.
But Kaz was good luck. When Kaz dealt the cards, Jesper always broke even at least; if he sat anywhere else at the Crow Club, he'd land himself in even more debt. He knew he should stop, but he couldn't help himself.
After accidentally telling his father that he's dating a boy who works at the casino, Jesper goes to the dealer himself. “I need you to pretend to date me. I need to pretend that I come to the casino for you and not--”
"Not to gamble yourself into an even bigger pit of debts?" Kaz asked, amused. "What's in it for me?"
"I'll pay you; just put it on my tab," Jesper offered, and he knew that the dealer had every right to say no. Kaz should have said no, and he looked about ready to, but then something nearly imperceptible shifted in his eyes.
"Fine, but I charge interest," Kaz acquiesced. "And if you touch me without permission, I will break your arm."
"Can I--"
"No."
And so he began his ploy, bringing Kaz gifts and taking photos of the dealer for his father. It was all a ruse, a clever cover story for why he was always at the casino. Or at least, that's what he told himself.
