Summary
“I didn’t keep most of the memories. Other people’s memories. I get flashes of big things, births, deaths. Except about you.”
Carol feels the confusion slip onto her face. Nervousness creeps up her spine again. “Me?”
“I know everything that anybody has ever thought about you, Carol. Every memory. Every feeling. Helen. Your ex-girlfriends. Your dentist. It’s like I have a Carol encyclopedia in my head.”
Carol had thought that she was done experiencing fresh horrors. What a nightmare it is to realize that she is not. “Oh, god.” She says.
“Oh, god,” Zosia agrees.
After they manage to break Zosia free of the hive, Zosia and Carol try to navigate the field of landmines that is their relationship.

Summary
"What does it say about me when the people I choose don't choose me back?"
"Emma…"
"People get rejected all the time, right? This is nothing new. I'll live." Emma grins sadly to herself, a humorless tilt of her head as her eyes meets Regina's. "Well."
The silence between them stifles, chokes. Regina has nothing to say, and Emma expects as much. She stands, one hand cold, the other empty, and walks home.
OR
emma saves marian, regina and emma are on the outs, and then something big goes missing.

Summary
The sheriff station had taken on a strange stillness after dark—a kind of unnatural quiet, like a hospital hallway just after visiting hours. The overhead lights buzzed faintly, sterile and cold, one of them flickering with a rhythm that made Emma want to break it just to end the cycle.
She sat at her desk, back hunched, fingers stained faintly with ink and god knows what from a rushed fast food dinner she hadn’t finished. The fries had gone cold. The burger sat, untouched, in its greasy wrapper. Her stomach had given up protesting a few hours ago. Or maybe longer. Time had started bending.
Her head throbbed—low and deep, like a bruise forming behind her eyes. Her throat scratched every time she swallowed, but she chalked it up to the dry air or stress or the fact that she hadn’t slept more than four hours in the past three nights. Maybe five. Maybe two.
Everything blurred at the edges.

Summary
"Tell me the truth."
And Emma whirls around and Regina's standing in the doorway, eyes glittering with unshed tears, and she looks like she knows. Knows exactly why Emma got shit-faced last night. Knows exactly why she broke up with Hook. Knows exactly why she said those words a few moments ago.

Summary
“Friends do not do what you and Rio did. And you and I certainly never have.”
“Me and Rio had—” Agatha pauses, her eyes sliding over to Teen, who has stolen one of her gelt and is nibbling on it, “—s-e-x one time. And then decided to be friends. Just friends. And have been friends ever since.”
"I’m seventeen,” Says Teen tiredly, “I know how to spell sex."
*
Or, after having sex once (or like three times, but who's counting, definitely not Agatha) Agatha and Rio decide to be friends. Just friends. They are amazing at it, obviously.

Should Have Jumped (When You Told Me To) by mrdcai
Fandoms: House of the Dragon (TV), A Song of Ice and Fire - George R. R. Martin
29 Dec 2024
Tags
Summary
Alicent knows she shouldn’t bite but she cannot stop her reflexive retort. “That’s rich coming from a notorious narcissist.”
She immediately regrets it, is on the verge of apologising, but Rhaenyra is quicker and out for blood now, a dangerous glint in her eye.
“Better a self-aware narcissist than a self-righteous, deluded, parasite. Tell me do they teach charlatanism at the Citadel or is that something you inherited from your father?”
(Modern Academics AU - Alicent, literature professor and noted novelist, returns to King’s Landing after a long absence to take a position at the same university where former best friend Rhaenyra is a member of the history faculty. Why did they fall out and why in the Seven are they teaching a lecture together?)

Summary
“She won’t even admit that she’s gay for a New York City Ballet dancer. You think she would go for you, Rio Vidal of Cobb, Oklahoma?” Jenn raises an eyebrow, “IT service provider who plays Elden Ring in her spare time.”
“Maybe.” Chirps Rio. Hope does, after all, spring eternal.
*
Or,
Rio goes from IT service monkey to fucking her very beautiful, very poised boss in a very short period of time. And then, of course, there’s the aftermath.

Summary
“Wait, you haven’t even heard my pitch,” She can hear William’s footsteps quickening behind her, “She’s gay, too.”
Agatha turns sharply on her heel, “How could you possibly know that?”
“I asked.”
“You asked?” Agatha slaps a hand over her face, covering her eyes, “Oh my God, Teen, one of these days you’re going to get slapped in the face, and you’re going to deserve it.”
*
Or,
Agatha’s teenage neighbor tries to play matchmaker with her and the hot funeral director who just moved in next door. It goes about as well as you’d expect.

Sadness as a Gift by mrdcai
Fandoms: House of the Dragon (TV), A Song of Ice and Fire - George R. R. Martin
06 Aug 2024
Tags
Summary
There is a clearing with a stand of trees at its centre in the deep of the Kingswood. No roads or paths may access it; the forest surrounding too dense, tangled roots as large as dwellings. And yet, to walk three hundred paces due south one will find a lodge. It is where Rhaenyra’s heart resides. The quiet, ragged pieces that remain.

Summary
“Your whole war, based on a bedtime story. You usurp my throne without the slightest idea what it means.” Rhaenyra’s words are vicious, but her tone is soft. She’d been so soft-spoken in the sept. Though there was a knife in her hand there had almost been a gentleness to the way she held Alicent’s wrist, dressed in the drab garb of the septas and still so striking. It’s a wonder nobody recognized her from sheer magnetism alone.
“I did what I thought was best for the realm.”
The blade kisses Alicent’s neck. She can feel the pain in a detached, dreamlike way, the shallow slice of a sharpened edge across the vulnerable skin of her throat.
“Liar,” Rhaenyra whispers.
OR
Alicent is haunted by so many things, her own decisions chief among them. Why not add Rhaenyra’s visit in the sept?

Summary
"This world is cold and cruel, and there are few in it who are steadfast. You, I think, are steadfast."
Both Rhaenyra and Mysaria, her lady of whispers, have been lonely and bereft of intimacy for too long. And if the cure for their loneliness is fucking on every surface in Dragonstone, so be it.
What the queen wants, the queen shall have.

paper rings (recovered from ashes) by Lumyart
Fandoms: House of the Dragon (TV), A Song of Ice and Fire - George R. R. Martin

Summary
After Rhaenyra’s career as a renowned athlete reached its natural end, she never expected her marriage with Alicent to do the same. Yet, her mate no longer bears the title of her wife, and Jace and Aemond’s time is now split between their two lives. A year later, love has not withered and the mating bond is still very much frustratingly intact, the temptation to fall back in each other’s arms only growing with each day spent apart.
Good news in the family, however, comes with Laena's incoming wedding - all grandiose with a one-week-long celebration in a luxurious hotel by the beach their friends are all expected to join and that will, inevitably, force Alicent and Rhaenyra to share the same space for seven whole days. Seven days that soon turn into a game of possession and revived passion neither wishes to lose.
or, Alicent and Rhaenyra are divorced (soul)mates who swear they can and will resist each other - and who, ultimately, fail at that simple task within the span of a week.

Summary
“It will spread here,” Rhaenyra said, her tone dry and sure. “They will come for both of us. And if I step foot in King’s Landing, where every eye is cast against me, I may be headless within the hour.”
“What is there to do but wait?” said Alicent, and was startled when Rhaenyra turned suddenly to her.

Summary
Alicent’s mind flickers to the Mother as she stands, but she shakes her head, turning to leave the sept. She is about to reach the door when Queen Aemma’s pitiful body, swaddled in cloth next to her dead infant, lurches into her mind. Alicent’s stomach rolls unpleasantly and she hurries back to the altar, clasping her hands together, closing her eyes, dropping to her knees hard, pain shooting though her body. She sends a fervent prayer to the Mother that Rhaenyra and her baby will be safe and healthy by the end of her labors.

and if i'm on fire, you'll be made of ashes too. by MoonlightViolet

Summary
Denial is the first stage, Archie tells her, when a loved one is lost. He says it gently, with his hand laid on her shoulder like they’re friends, and tells her that it’s normal to push it off like it’s not real. Regina thinks it’s bullshit.
She’d seen the body. She knows it damn well. There’s nothing to deny.
Emma is dead.
--
Regina has never been good at accepting the fate she's been handed. If anyone's going to bargain with the god of the dead, it's going to be her.
