Summary
Daphne Bridgerton may have stole Prince Friedrich from her, but Cressida Cowper will not give up so easily. She will marry this season and her match will be extraordinary.
Following the departure of her diamond to her honeymoon and martimonial bliss, Queen Charlotte quickly finds herself bored and unmoored. The solution is clear: a Summer Ball with a match-making surprise.
Lord Debling would rather not be involved in any of the match-making and romantic affairs of the London season. It is all rather superfluous. No, he is here to look at birds and only birds.
***
There is an East Asian belief that two people who are meant to be together are connected by an invisible red thread. Perhaps that is why Cressida and Alfred keep being drawn together? A red thread, or is it a blue ribbon?

Summary
Sneaking in to Lord Debling’s drawing room is far easier than Cressida had expected. Now she need only convince him to compromise her - perhaps marry her, too - and save her from the husband her parents have chosen.

Summary
The iron chain drags across the floor as Tyler moves around the kitchen. After so many years, he’s gotten used to the way it coils on the linoleum floor and wraps around furniture legs. He no longer trips over the links or gets yanked back by the ankle when he runs out of length. Whenever he locks the shackle around his ankle, it still takes a moment to get used to the heavy weight, but less and less every day. One thing that hasn’t changed is how much he hates it.
*
When Tyler unlocks his Hyde years before Marilyn Thornhill returns to Jericho, the Galpin bunker gets put to its intended use.

Summary
"Promise me," Sansa whispers, tears pooling in her eyes, and she doesn't care how vulnerable - and scared - she sounds right then. "Promise me you won't... I hear she is beautiful."
Jon steps to her and with his hands on her cheeks, he holds her face and stares into her eyes. "I promise you. You are my only Queen and you always will be."

Summary
Tyler Galpin could admit he was many—arguably bad—things. Manipulative, bad-tempered, violent, obsessive, and cocky. An all-around asshole, so to speak, if the situation called for it.
But if not anything else, he was also deeply loyal to a fault.
So when Bianca Barclay, his best friend and confidant at this elitist excuse of a school, came to his dorm one night, tears streaking down her face, because her boyfriend of 2 years had unceremoniously broken up with her—like a coward—because of his so-called “trust issues”.
Tyler decided he would make Xavier Thorpe’s life a living hell.When Wednesday Addams—Xavier's childhood crush—transfers to Nevermore, Tyler knows exactly what to do.
Get the girl and crush Xavier's ego in the process.
-
Alternatively, Wednesday and Tyler quickly turn each other's world upside down—for the better.

He doesn’t realize this until coming back to Richmond after LCA, where he doesn’t just have to navigate becoming a better person, but accepting that needing accommodations isn’t soft. This journey follows from childhood, then all through canon up until the end of season 3.

Summary
"We can’t trade her. We need to keep her and prepare her.” the Lord, who has died more than lived, sighs. Stories he’d never seen are rolling before his eyes in the flicker of the fire.
“To bring the dawn.” Thoros nods.
The Lord of Light offers his acolytes a new path to guide the Promised Princess down. One where she keeps her face, her soul and heart. Can three men, a bunch of drunkards and a Bastard Smith raise an angry teenage wolf girl, and in turn save the world?
These are Arya Starks most important days.
