Summary
The climb is steeper than Sciel remembers, and the metal groans softly beneath her as she ascends the final ladder. Her hand ghosts along rusted beams warped by time and ink, passing the old scratched initials—lovers used to come up here, the letterings long since faded with the oxidation.
She almost laughs at herself. What was she hoping for? That the room might still feel the same? That she might feel the same?
Then she steps inside, and the moment her eyes adjust—
“Sciel,” Lune says in a breath caught somewhere in between. Her guitar disappears in a flurry of chroma particles. “Of course you’d run into me up here.”
or, Maelle stays in the canvas and life goes on, just not as Sciel once imagined.

Summary
“I…have known nothing in my life but battle.” The words are stilted, brusque; it is her way. “All my knowledge of…children…is of constant testing, unending bloodshed. I do not know what a healthy creche looks like. I do not know what a healthy githyanki childhood looks like. That knowledge has been stolen from us. I do not—” She grits her teeth. “I dislike embarking on such an important mission with no information. Too much is at stake.”
Tearing such vulnerability from between her ribs has never come naturally. But watching the still-wet hatchling examine its own toes, watching her lover brush eggshell from its arms, against her will Lae’zel softens. They have been through too much together not to respond such. Back-to-back, as ever, there is surely no challenge so great that they cannot—
“Well, don’t look at me,” says Shadowheart. “I was raised in a cult, remember?”

Summary
"No matter how desperate I get," Shadowheart says through gritted teeth, "I'm not that desperate."
But her body is betraying her. It's responding to Lae'zel's suggestion, rising like a well-stoked fire, and Lae'zel lowers herself to the ground near Shadowheart's feet. Shadowheart's legs shift to accommodate her in an instinct so bone-deep that she can't stop it before Lae'zel is filling the space.
"Give in to your desires, istik. Submit to me. In my experience," Lae'zel says, crawling slowly up Shadowheart's willing body, "the hatred will only make it sweeter."
And then Shadowheart is being kissed so thoroughly that she forgets her own name.
OR
Shadowheart doesn't know much about her past, or her future, or even who she is beyond what Shar asks of her. But she knows one thing. She hates Lae'zel. She hates her so much that the gith hardly leaves her mind, and there's nothing that could possibly change that.
A tale of misplaced hatred, building trust, and finding new purpose.

Summary
Vi wanted to snap back how she’s been feeling like a wet towel all those years. How everyone around her had found their place in this world, except for her. How her little sister had to take care of her sometimes like she was some senile old lady. How that, without Powder and Ekko's almost impossibly inventive brains, she'd probably never have bounced back from the horrifying discovery of her arm having been brutally blown off.
That she really lost more than just one part of herself during that incident, and though she'd regained her limb, Vi felt like she’d never be complete at all.
But then she teams up with some strange and extremely uptight Enforcer.

Summary
Triss Merigold survived the Battle of Sodden Hill-- and wished she hadn't. That is, until she experienced a mysterious mage healing her in her dreams, whose teasing, tempting touches begin to bring her back to life.
Philippa Eilhart has taken a particular interest in a little witch's recovery, but what begins as a purely mercenary effort to gain an ally grows... complicated.
A look at how their relationship could begin, using TWN as a framework to do whatever I want ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

Summary
Vi breathed in and opened her mouth, leaning closer to Caitlyn’s ear, and Caitlyn’s breath got stuck in her lungs. “Just do whatever feels right, no one cares. Everyone's drunk."
Vi’s head then began bobbing to the rhythm of the music, her hands swaying Caitlyn’s hips, and the contagious grin was not leaving her lips.
Just do whatever feels right.
Being held in Vi’s arms felt right. Feeling Vi’s warmth on her skin felt right. Following Vi anywhere felt right. It had never been easier to just surrender to her lead.
* * *
“Who told you what was down here? Come along, Caitlyn, if you wanted a peek.”
It's time for Caitlyn to explore everything Zaun has to offer. And Vi is eager to show her.

Summary
"You spent the whole day walking— and you can think of no better way in which we might use the night?”
“I walked today, yes,” Alicent said, insistent despite temptations laid out before her. Only years of learned restraint stopped her from sinking back to her knees, crawling across the lovely bright rug, falling into Rhaenyra once again. “Not with you, though. Come, let’s go outside. It was promising to be a beautiful night as I arrived home. I want to walk beneath it, with you.”
A snapshot of another life.

the essence of sin is disordered love by rotten (catgamer)
Fandoms: House of the Dragon (TV)
17 Apr 2025

Summary
It’s a downright demeaning way to live, she inherently knows this. Alicent used to think one day she would let the guilt get the best of her and end this thing between them before it even really got started, but she’s come to realize over the last few months how weak she is.
It makes her feel dizzy to realize how afraid she is, and how despite that fear, she does it anyway. Gives in time and time again, like Rhaenyra is not a spoiled brat and instead some undeniable force of nature.
(Or, where time and time again Rhaenyra proves she is far from being scrupulous to get what she wants, and time and time again Alicent proves she can’t deny what she undeniably wants.)

Summary
“I had hoped,” Alicent’s hands shook as she pressed a small piece of paper into Rhaenyra’s hands, “That you have not forgotten the love we once had for each other. That if we bent the knee here and now, the lives of my children may be spared.”
or, affectionately named "lucerys tells us how the dance of the dragons never happens," & the aftermath.

Summary
A series of flashes in her mind: Rhaenyra’s head in her lap under the weirwood tree, her crystalline eyes alight. Syrax, saddled for two, soaring across the Narrow Sea to worlds unknown. The ripped page she still keeps locked away in her chambers, alongside a piece of her heart.
Alicent can no longer afford to cling to Rhaenyra’s words like a promise. Yet after the longest of winters, there’s something addictive about the possibility of being consumed by dragonfire.
or, Rhaenyra returns on dragonback. Alicent feels her presence like the rising sun. Post-1x08.
