    Summary

    Three years after their marriage, Laenor and Rhaenyra finally visit Driftmark. Though Rhaenyra avoided Daemon for years, as her good sister is ready to give birth, she cannot escape him, anymore, nor his clever games.

    Come, Daemon quietly whispers. Come back to me.

    They’re here for a birth - they might stay for a funeral.

     

    or: the dance of dragons if daemon targaryen slaughtered every pawn on his way to both rhaenyra and her ascension.

    Summary

    Daeron knows of tortures. Punishments dealt to thieves and traitors, rapists of women and murderers of children. He’s learnt that cruelty is infinitely creative, and that hatred, once stirred, is bottomless to match. For the crime of high treason, men are tied to horses and torn limb from limb. Standing between his uncles, he thinks he knows how that feels.

    Summary

    He's better than Ormund at many things, always has been. Dueling (not grappling, never grappling), riding (but not hunting), humility over pride.

    Over the many years, he's learned that throwing the fight has a better outcome than beating his lordly cousin in any competition.

    Ormund is the Head of Hightower House, after all. Sometimes the knee must be bent.

    ------------------------------------


    "He was awful to you, earlier." Daeron looked distinctly uncomfortable as they sat together in what now passed for Gwayne's room in Tumbleton, a chess board between them. His nephew was wringing his hands as though they were wet rags and Daeron a washerwoman. "Those things he said..."

    {The false empathic look, paired with 'I'm sure you found solace with some of your brothers in arms'}

    Gwayne stared at the floor, counting the cracks he found there. "Put it from your mind, Daeron. It was meant to humiliate me, not you. Long has he missed throwing his knives at me, in my absence. That is all that was. His idea of fun. A warm welcome home, if you will."

    Summary

    “You knew he’d ask for it. Didn’t you? And you didn’t stop to intervene. If you had looked at him only once while we were talking, I’m sure he’d have been placated.” Death says. “And yet, you’ve chosen to show me perhaps one of the most intimate things you can experience here.”

    He crouches down to look at Sam, runs two fingers over the swell of his back, “Why, Lucifer?”

    Or,

    The aftermath of the cage in slow and excruciating detail. Following a mid-life crisis with drastic consequences, Death gives Lucifer a second chance he may not have deserved. Sam and the fallen archangel that obsessively, brutally, loves him, as well as those caught in the crosshairs of their codependency, navigate the intricacies of their relationships, their identities, and their gray morality in the throes of love and war and the worst family drama in the history of history.

    (An alternative scenario canon-divergent based loosely on events from Pathological. The usual angst-and-torture fest with a bonus of unlikely alliances and an overarching plot. No redemption arcs but the bad guys might need a hug too!)

    Summary

    Despite the yelling, the flashing lights and clicks of shutter buttons, the ever-mounting noise, Lounds’ voice cut through like the ring of a bell, sharp and high. “Mr. Graham,” she shouted, “didn’t they find you at Stammets’ table?”

    Jack Crawford repeated, “No further questions!” at the top of his lungs like a mantra. The way a child would, in combination with ears covered and eyes screwed shut, to block out an unpleasant sound.

    “Did you eat them!” Lounds yelled over the din. “Did you eat the mushrooms!”

    ---
    In which Will Graham survives an abduction by a serial killer, only to find that somehow he's garnered the interest of at least one more.
