    Summary

    It’s sometimes hard for Rhaenyra to comprehend how much her life has changed as of late.

    A year ago she was betrothed to her dear cousin. She was fighting at her uncle’s side in the Stepstones. Slaughtering men by day. Sharing her bed with whores by night.

    Rhaenyra thought that would be her lot in life. She was a second child— a forgotten spare in her father’s eyes on the best of days, and a cruel reminder of her mother’s violent death on the worst.

    But everything has changed, now. Rhaenyra never knew that life has so much more to offer.

    Summary

    “The Queen did not have a heart, or so the whispers went, she was as cold and cruel as Maegor before her, as callous with her women and merciless with her foes. They murmured of her violent tendencies, her appetite for blood and wine, her desire for untouched flesh.”

    Summary

    Cait takes a sip of her drink, and Vi does so similarly. The voices of fate beckon to Caitlyn in her feeble state, urging her that she could be sipping liquid gold instead if she only listened to their guidance.

    Caitlyn considers. She’s not usually one to take outside advice, but she’s had a rough couple of days, and figures that Vi probably needs this as much as she does. She relents. In her burnt-out delirium, Caitlyn guides Vi’s head into her lap.

    “Dude, what-”

    A soft thumb runs along the curve of Vi’s forehead.

    “What’d he do?” Caitlyn interrupts. She doesn’t have the bandwidth to explain what’s happening or why.

    Summary

    Vi couldn't believe what was being asked of her, and yet here she was: in desperate need of money and about to help out some random kid try and get his crush to notice him. She took a deep breath.

    "Fifty bucks right now, take it or leave it."

    "Deal!" He jumped up in the air, a little too excited, and extended his hand once he was back on Earth.

    Vi shook it slowly.

    "The name's Ekko, by the way." He beamed and fished out two twenties and a five from his pockets, and extended it out for her to take.

    Vi took it apprehensively after the sudden burst of energy. With the money in hand, Vi made a quick attempt at conversation, before heading back to the bank. "And, uh… Who's the lucky lady?"

    "Caitlyn," he said dreamily. "Caitlyn Kiramman."

    * * *

    Strapped for cash, Vi takes Ekko up on a deal to write Caitlyn Kiramman, the Queen Bee of Zaun High School, love letters. What Vi doesn't expect is for Caitlyn to actually write back.

    Summary

    “We’re in this together, you know that right? I won’t ever let you—”

    “I created something.”

    Kara blinked twice. “Okay?”

    Lena took a couple of steps back from her. She wrung her hands together, clearly nervous about the supposed objection she was going to have to this new creation. “Don’t tell me you created a time machine.”

    Lena didn’t laugh. “Not exactly.”

    That felt ominous. “Well, then what exactly?”

    “I’ve…invented a way to…”

    She could hear Lena’s heart beating wildly, which was only causing hers to quicken as well. She reached out for Lena’s hands again, but Lena pulled back. And she watched as Lena put up a wall between them.

    “A way to…forget you.”

     

    OR

    Lena and Kara erase each other from their memories, only to meet again.
