Summary
Daniel pays an old friend a visit. But what can the damned really say to the damned?
It was times like these he almost missed the clear boundaries of journalist and subject, predator and prey, man and monster
Now they were as close to being on equal footing as they’d ever be – two lonely monsters tied by a thing that could be friendship, if you squinted.
(the last time they’d been this close, that mouth was swallowing the last throbbing beats of his heart. that mouth was sinking into the meat of his neck and the soft tissue of his mind and the exposed underbelly of his terrible longing. that mouth had drank him down and spat him right back out)

Summary
After a near-decade of bitter silence, Rhaenyra and Alicent share an unexpected reunion in a shadowed alcove. Regret, envy and desire are unveiled as they confront their painful past and uncertain future.
As she hungrily takes in every change in the other woman’s appearance, Alicent wonders how it all went so terribly wrong. To fall out of love would be bearable, but to love and loathe so deeply is untenable — the bittersweet torment threatens to drive her mad.
‘So be it’, she hisses, ‘If I am to be yours, then claim me as your beloved’ — capturing Rhaenyra’s mouth in a searing clash of blood, teeth and tongue.

Summary
Arthur is the Royal Arbiter for Suitable Suitors' Disputes. He (and his trusty companion, the golden-dragon-tasselled hat) alone can determine who is fit to woo royal servants and other assorted courtiers in Uther's court. (In light of the preceding sentence, the following may not appear to be a truthful statement, but: not as cracky as that makes it sound. Really.)

There Are No Gays in Football by Malu_3 (Grainne)

Summary
When a deeply-closeted Arthur Pendragon finally earns a spot in Camelot's first XI, he's dead set on breaking records, not one of sport's last taboos. But life, like football, is a funny old game, and sometimes the only way up is out. Especially once he realises he's arse over tit for the new physio.
A queer Arthurian tale of courage, love, and football.
