Summary
Aemma Arryn, wife of Prince Viserys Targaryen, dies in childbirth mere months before Viserys’s father and heir to the throne, Prince Baelon, meets his own tragic fate. When Viserys is chosen as the next Prince of Dragonstone and too quickly becomes King of Westeros, he names his only child by Aemma, his daughter Rhaenyra, his heir. But in order to strengthen his line, he marries the Lady Alicent Hightower, daughter of his Hand, soon after his coronation. She quickly gives birth to a son, Aegon, but Viserys remains steadfast in his choice of heir. At Aegon’s second nameday celebration, Otto Hightower proposes a marriage to the King: Rhaenyra and Aegon. This proposal Viserys readily accepts.
Aegon Targaryen grows up married to his sister, both of them raised to one day rule the Seven Kingdoms together. As he gets older, he realizes the secrets she keeps from him, and the secrets he’s kept from himself. Namely: why has he always hated the idea of Aemond and Helaena’s betrothal?

They kissed underneath the trees. It was summer. Stars were visible through the branches and leaves, but they weren't paying attention to the stars. God Himself could have walked in on them, and they would still only have eyes for each other.

Summary
Dennis recounted all of this on the rooftop every morning, almost like a prayer. How he’d gotten here. It wasn’t a sudden morning, waking up with the realization that God had abandoned him. It was slow, painful. Of feeling farther and farther from the light, of drifting away wordlessly from the only truth he’d ever known. There was no moment where it hit that he didn’t believe anymore. It just was.
Dennis had never been able to escape the ghost of Nebraska. But maybe with some confessions and newfound belonging, he finally could.
Or five times Dennis Whitaker held onto something, and the one time he let go.
Based on the song Sun Bleached Flies by Ethel Cain

Summary
Ex Mormon Dennis Whitaker, folks. ft a lot of mental breakdowns. author is lowk working through trauma with this one (I am exmo)
Title and chapter headings from We'll Never Have Sex by Leith Ross <3
(His desire for human contact was embarrassingly innocent. A hand squeezing his shoulder, the nape of his neck, petting through his hair. Sometimes, laid down at night, alone, he would pet himself like that. Rub his scalp, pretend it was someone else's hands. If it was someone else, who would it be? Would they whisper sweet things to him?
Now, he imagined it to be Dr Robby. As humiliating as that is, he can't help himself. Dr Robby gave him something to work with- he squeezes his own shoulder, pressing his thumb into that bit of skin Dr Robby had touched. Dr Robby's hands are bigger, warmer, but Dennis makes do.)
