    Summary

    “So many vows, they make you swear and swear... Defend the king. Obey the king. Keep his secrets. Do his bidding. Your life for his. But obey your father. Love your sister. Protect the innocent. Defend the weak. Respect the gods. Obey the laws. It's too much. No matter what you do, you're forsaking one vow or the other.”

    In which Jaime Lannister chooses to forsake his vows... and saves the Kingdom in doing so.

    Kingslayer, they call him.

    But Rhaella Targaryen knows the truth.

    Summary

    After the Dance of the Dragons, Jacaerys inherits a fractured realm and a throne built on ash. As he parts ways with Baela, his heart turns quietly, undeniably, toward the woman he was never supposed to love—Helaena. What begins in duty and silence deepens into something neither expected. In each other, they find a quiet understanding—something tender, unspoken, and defiant in a world still smoldering from war. Some flames do not destroy. Some burn to make room for something new.

    A post-war Jacaerys/Helaena fic exploring legacy, guilt, and the flickering beginnings of something tender.

    Summary

    These hands are quick, with practice and time.

    With a little patience and a bit of suffering, Helaena was never afraid to undo the threads, not when she realized the mistake, not when she could see the embroidery perfectly made in her minds eye.

    And Heleana has seen much. Has lived and died and been made anew. Could she not stitch something new for herself?

    The war will come. The dragons will dance. But Helaena does not intend to fall alongside them. Not if she can help it. Not if she can help her half sister ascend the throne and keep her family safe from themselves.

    And if she has to betroth herself to Jacaerys Velaryon to do so then she hopes her mother won't scream herself mad too much.
