Summary
He reads the letter—then, shocked, he reads it again. By decree of his imperial father, so it says, Maia is to be given into the care of his grandfather the Barizheise Great Avar, upon the latter's request. Arrangements have been made: there is to be an airship that will take them both to the city of Cairado, where a ship sent by the Great Avar will be waiting to take His Grace the Archduke to Barizhan by way of the river Istandaärtha. Setheris is to return to Edonomee alone. They are leaving in three weeks' time.
(or: how Maia Sevraseched came to Barizhan.)

Summary
On the Role of an Emperor is a book written by Edrehasivar VII Zhas (personal name Maia Drazhar) around the late 1230s AEC, though it wasn't published until after he died in 1239. It is partially a treatise on what defines a "good" emperor, and partially an autobiography discussing the process behind many important policy decisions as well as choice moments from his personal life.

Summary
There were only a few things Idra knew about the Great Avar. He was, of course, related to Idra through his father's line; a younger brother of Nemolis Drazhar, born to the scorned, unfortunate Chenelo Zhasan. That was the source of his claim to the Barizheise throne: he was the grandson of the previous Great Avar, Maru Sevrasched. He knew that his half-uncle took as his standard a prancing lion known as the Corat' Anmeir, Cruelty of the Sun, in partial tribute to his grandfather's Corat' Arhos.
It also might have been a nod to his Drazhadeise blood, which would have been bold if that was truly the intention, given that he had been disowned at fourteen.
(Or: In the fifth year of the reign of the Emperor Edrenechibel IX, the Great Avar Maia Sevraseched came to the Ethuveraz for a state visit.)

the still after the storm by trulyunruly

Summary
"The face of Cersei's husband is as frozen as the forest around them. The swords of the Rebellion have left the kingdoms torn open and red with blood but the North has been spared. Untouched, her handmaiden had sighed when they first stepped out of the walls of Winterfell. Cersei had said nothing. Not untouched, she had thought. Cold. Colourless. Barren.
Yet it is this cold, colourless, barren wasteland that is to be her home now."
Fill for kink meme prompt: "AU where Robert must marry Catelyn Tully if he wants her father's support in the Rebellion. Jon Arryn talks Ned into marrying Cersei, with Jaime still in the King's Guard in King's Landing. How does Cersei change when she's married to Ned instead of Robert, a man that respects her and treats her kindly? Would love to see a redeemed-Cersei as Lady of Winterfell. And any drama with infant Jon Snow would be great."

Summary
Mozart’s ginger locks, so frequently hidden beneath a tasteless wig, are plastered to his forehead with sweat. He is ill, consumed by the toxic mixture of spirits and guilt.
The corner of your mouth lifts. At last, all is coming to fruition.

Summary
"What does it feel like, seeing an evil you have fought for so long finally vanquished?"
"Like a hole in the head," Elrond laughs, and then the words come all at once. "Can you believe it, Bilbo? I feel a loss. Loss, and lost. I do not know where to go, or perhaps I have nowhere left to go. I am turning on the spot, rootless and restless from memory to memory like a dog chasing its tail. I feel as though Arda has swallowed me whole. Perhaps I may be going mad —"
"Or perhaps you are being called home."
_________Two weeks before Arwen and Aragorn's wedding, the father of the bride (and groom, technically) wakes with a bone-deep fatigue he cannot seem to shake no matter how much he tries. Or: a study of sea-longing feat. Elrond Peredhel, who has never cared much for the promise of Valinor.

Summary
The overworked project manager on the redesign of the Imperial Lambda-class shuttle gets surprisingly competent feedback from an unknown official on Coruscant. She promptly decides that anyone bored enough to do a technical review of their own free will should be found proper employment for their own good.
Her correspondent has been missing the opportunity to tinker with machinery. It gives him something to do between hunting down rebels.
