    Summary

    The Dax symbiont has suffered another trauma — four of its last five hosts have died by the age of 35 — and is taking some time to be alone in the Caves of Mak’ala. Its desire to be left alone and undisturbed is so strong that the Guardians assign a new initiate who hasn't yet learned to telepathically communicate with the symbionts to care for Dax. But sometimes when we think we need to be alone, we're wrong.

    Summary

    She imagines a little house by the river here, with a room for her girls and a room of her own. Dreamfyre would sleep under the stars, unbothered by spectators. For a moment, she wants to imagine a world where she can exist alone, with no servants, no family, not even her sweet ladies. With no help, she would learn to cook, clean, and hunt without a thousand tagging along. They would speak only Valyrian, and people in the nearby farms would name her a witch, as they already did. But there would be an affectionate tone to it, and when their children got sick, they would brave her small underworld and beg her for some ointment. If they were kind, she would give them a tonic of coneflower, learned from her maester as a child. If they are thankless, she would crush some lily of the valley berries and let them clutch at their chests in the privacy of their own homes.

    (or Rhaena hurtling her way between one hurt and another and loving all the way)

    Summary

    It didn't happen that way. In fact, it could happen so many different ways. Stannis Baratheon deserves better. So does Shireen. So did the watchers and book readers.

    Seventeen different endings. I think I might stop here. I have a couple more ideas, but they are resisting completion, so perhaps they aren't that good.
