Summary
“I must say, I have a terrible headache,” said Vision, massaging his forehead. “I think some food must have disagreed with me."
Wanda smiled a plastic smile as the laugh track howled. “Why not lie down for a moment, dear? You’ll feel better in the morning.”

is this the shine of a wine-toasted victory? (or is it just a sad bitter sigh of defeat?) by MsStarryNightSky

Summary
Daenerys Targaryen was always supposed to be Queen. From the moment she could understand the spoken word, she was told she would one day be Queen.
In the final battle at King's Landing, Daenerys almost does it. She almost drowns them all in Fire and Blood when she sees one face - a face that changes everything. A simple smallfolk woman tucked into an alley, looking up at Drogon with fear naked on her face and an infant clutched to her chest. Dany, realizing just what she was about to do, flees the battlefield and breaks down, allowing her army to win in her stead.
She's Queen now. This is her moment of glorious victory. So why is she still tormented by screams of burning men and the face of a nameless mother?
Why doesn't she feel like she won very much of anything at all?
*******
Primarily Dany-centric but also features lots of Arya POV.

We Are The Mediocre Presidents, 2nd Edition by RamercyGriff
Fandoms: The League of Extraordinary Gentlemen (Comics), All of fiction but especially anything with fictional US presidents in it
09 Feb 2025
Tags
Summary
An updated version of my earlier "list of US presidents in the League-verse." Hey, re-releasing earlier work with minor additions and adjustments. I have achieved writerdom.
Actually I had intended this to be an update following the American elections this year (with some changes, to fix the things I wasn't entirely happy with first time around). Since those elections... didn't go as I had anticipated, I guess this pushes us into more an alternate history (I'd like to believe, a more comforting one)
