Summary
James would never, never have considered that Sirius would give up Remus’s secret. But he did, and Snape paid the price with his life.
Some things are so integral to your being, you don't notice them until they are lost. In the blood-soaked aftermath of the worst day of his life, James Potter realizes his priorities are not what he thought they were, and the fabric of time and reality is a paper-thin nuisance compared to his resolve.
James holds time in his hands and breaks it.

Summary
“Tartaglia, you are being reassigned.”
Excitement pumps through Childe’s veins as the words are uttered, his casual smile widening into an ecstatic grin. For it to be the Tsaritsa passing this mission along to him directly rather than Pierro– it must be high-stakes.
“You will be going to Liyue,” she says, “to enter a courtship with Rex Lapis.”
What?
Childe swallows harshly, his tongue feeling thick in his mouth.
“Your Majesty, I believe there may be a misunderstanding.”
More like an impossibly large oversight to this whole plan. “Rex Lapis and I… we are not on the best of terms, at the moment.” That’s putting it lightly, though saying as much to his Queen feels immensely childish, and shame surely paints his face a burning red hue. “I do not think he would be pleased to receive me.”
Her expression does not change, and she only answers him with patience. “On the contrary, he has specifically requested you.”

Summary
Zhongli remembered every moment of his life. He would for the rest of time, a blessing and a curse. He remembered the moment he met a mysterious young man on the docks of Liyue harbor, spilling sweet words like tea, purchasing precious artifacts for him and then flitting out of his life. He remembered when he found out that young man was Tartaglia, Eleventh of the Fatui Harbingers.
He remembered when he broke Childe's heart.
So when a near death Childe stumbles his way through the streets of Liyue, Zhongli does the only thing he can think to atone for his mistakes.
Childe manages to escape the Abyss for a second time, finding himself on the streets of a city he longed for almost as much as home. He can feel the life escaping him and he knows his mind has been failing him. His memories are broken and scattered, the only thing clear that all he needs to move forward is the pain in his heart and the rage that comes from it.
Still as he feels life escaping him, he sees memories of a god that betrayed him. A god he would give anything to see one last time, to drink wine with, to hold once more.
And then he wakes up, light and free of the Abyss.

Summary
The night of Laena Velaryon's funeral does not go as planned. No, not at all. An eye is lost and a dragon is claimed. But nobody thought King Viserys I Targaryen would make his Hightower Queen another Ceryse.
OR
Daemon just wanted to get through his dear Laena's funeral and fly off to Pentos with his children. But Viserys just couldn't keep his brood under control. In hindsight, he really needs to learn how to control his laughter.

One of them intrigues him. The boy has a quick mind, knows curses beyond his years, and simply appalling manners.Bookmarked by BattleSquid
