Summary
“We’re running a special all week for Mother’s Day. Moms and their kids get a discount on any single scoop ice cream.”
“Oh, no, we’re not-”
“Yep.” Melissa clasped Jacob’s shoulder, squeezing until he clamped his mouth shut. “Mother and son. Got my eyes and everything. Hey, how much is that discount?”
Sometimes, Melissa and Jacob pretend that they're mother and son.
Really, they’re just pretending.

Summary
When Shireen's parents die, Myrcella is the only Baratheon to step up. Still nursing a broken heart, she finds herself on Dragonstone where it's always raining and the house is always drafty and she just can't manage to write no matter what she does!
But she is there for her cousin, and that's what her focus has to be, which would be a whole lot easier if she didn't have such a habit of running into Shireen's gorgeous history teacher, Jon Snow.
Jon found himself on Dragonstone for his own reasons, and when a motherless Rickon Stark is sent South to boarding school, he too has his hands full - though he is more than willing to make room for Myrcella.
With Rickon making eyes at Shireen, and Myrcella blushing every time Jon looks at her, things get a bit complicated rather quickly.
oh, and for those that have been around since my Robbcella days, you might find this concept familiar. I scrapped the old story years ago, and decided to rework it for these pairings.
Title is from the song 'Dive' by Olivia Dean

Summary
He doesn’t think that going mad is the right way to describe it. Mad insinuates that they have, at some disastrous, unsupervised point in time, had enough sanity to endure the process of insanity. That they weren't all born bright—stupid and youthful and broken down sharply like Canopus wiling away, exploding into a cataclysmic supernova just before the age of thirteen. That they don't delight in destruction and relish In the sickening snap of bone—vertebrae and tailbone and the marrow inside of them.
Honestly, that's giving them too much credit, their existence isn't poetic in the slightest; it's damned. Blasphemy against the Holy Spirit. The Seven Deadly Sins, although they only make up six, although they're imprisoned in an existential cycle of relentless survival. Of 'one more fight', and 'one more reason' and yet they're not even at legal voting age—much like the various other fateful choices held just above their hungry grasps.
Honestly, they're just teenagers. And that means absolutely everything.

A 'Dear Arkansas Daughter' by Lady Lamb song fic which touches on the group's childhoods, their semi codependent relationships, and their psychs. I wrote this while sleep deprived as hell
