    Summary

    Aerion only took a step before he stilled once more. His son slowly turned toward his direction, their eyes meeting. Aerion's face contorted into confusion, then he spoke.

    "Father... I think something is wrong."

    Then Aerion fell to his knees.

     

    Or

    Summary

    It has to be a coincidence, then, that Javert is the one singular cop with whom Jean Valjean has had any interaction with. It must be merely Javert's zealous obsession with him that is the reason for this phenomenon, and the fact that Javert is the only policeman Jean Valjean has ever had the occasion to take notice of in all his time in France must simply be a mark of Javert's dedication to his own craft.

    Certainly nothing beyond that. No, that would be illogical. Ludicrous, really. Truly inconceivable.

    But now, as Jean Valjean places everything else in his life on hold for just the briefest of moments to give thought to the matter, the stark, horrifying realization begins to dawn upon him sure as the sun rises in the east—it is not that Inspector Javert is the only cop Valjean has ever taken deliberate note of; rather, it is that Valjean has simply never beheld a single cop in all his time in France who was not Inspector Javert.

    Alternatively: Javert is the only cop in all of France. That's it, that's the fic.

    Summary

    “Do you think me so cruel that I would make you get rid of the child?” A genuine look of hurt flashes across his face, his blue eyes studying him intently.

    Perhaps he was wrong.

    “No, Robert.” He feels a surge of hope. Perhaps he will show Jon the mercy he denied his siblings, now that he has calmed down. “I thought it best not to tempt fate.” He grabs him by the forearm. “I can still take him to the North. Nobody has to know the truth. He won’t either. He will be no threat to you or your rule. I will make sure of that.”

    Robert chuckles. “It was already too late for that the moment you crossed the city gates. Before nightfall, every beggar and whore will know the truth, or some twisted version of it.” He glances towards the cradle. “Jon. I don’t like this name. My son should have a proper Baratheon name, but since you took it upon yourself to name him as such, I have no choice but to accept that.”

    Ned freezes. “Your son?”

    OR
    Robert assumes Jon is their baby.

    Summary

    The world has changed, and Martin knows the new rules as well as anyone. The monsters come when the sun sets, so you best be home before then. Blast your lights, barricade your doors. Don’t come out until morning. When Martin inadvertently stays out past sunset, he flees his monstrous pursuers and stumbles upon the Magnus Estate, eerie and seemingly abandoned, in the middle of the woods.

    Inside is a man with a monstrous face and glowing eyes, who insists Martin is the key to turning the world back.

    Or, a Beauty and the Beast au—tma style ;)

    Summary

    Daeron was of the opinion that he needn’t have come with his uncle Rhaegel as they traveled to the Eyrie, but his father insisted that Daeron go, hoping the honor and chivalry so prevalent in the Vale will change his drunken, whoring ways.

    What he gets is an attack on their entourage, being taken by one of the mountain clans, and sent off as an offering to the fire-witch’s pet.

    Except the pet is no monster, the witch is a girl with startlingly familiar eyes, and Daeron finds himself faced with a dragon long thought to be dead.

    (SIOC in which a modern girl is reborn as a descendant of Nettles.)
