    Summary

    And even if getting Rhaenyra in as a soloist was a staggering show of nepotism, she was still the best concert pianist on the planet. It was like when Dmitri Junior recorded Shostakovich’s second. You could get mad about it for a bit, but it was ultimately fair game. Alicent had already reached all these conclusions because Viserys had spoken to her weeks ago about programming the Concerto, which only had the unwanted effect of giving her time to turn it over in her brain like a particularly nauseating Rubix cube. Each solution of the puzzle led her to the same conclusion: she would be seeing Rhaenyra imminently, and there wasn’t a damn thing she could do about it.

     

    After ten years apart, Rhaenyra Targaryen re-enters Alicent's life for a set of solo engagements with her orchestra. Things go about as well as expected (not very).

    Summary

    “You’ll take the vow tonight,” he said. “After that, no lordship, you, no wife, no land, no babes. This–” And he stamped his foot so that the horses tossed their heads. “The gate ‘tween all that was and the night ahead.”

    “It’s just a fucking wall, man,” Lyonel said, but felt a shiver run through him all the same.

    In 196 AC, a common Flea Bottom urchin is claimed by a wandering crow after being accused of murder.

    In 209 AC, Lyonel Baratheon strikes a prince in defense of a common puppet girl and chooses taking the black over losing a hand.

    In the shadow of the Wall, at the end of the world, the two of them meet.

    Summary

    “Okay,” Becka says, in that voice she uses when she wants to appease her friend. “With who?”

    Hannah turns to her side, propping up on an elbow, so that she can gaze down at Becka, who’s busy sinking into her beanbag - all the while preparing to say one of the single worst names Becka’s ever heard in her life. “His name’s Garth.”

    Becka has too many things to worry about before graduating, and one of them is getting to the graduating part in the first place.

    “How many times are you going to do this?” Martín nods towards the bride, beaming and bright, but what he really means is how many times are you going to put me through this? 

    Or: By happenstance or fate, Martín is there for every single one of Andrés's weddings.

    Summary

    All possible grace leaving her, Esra stepped back and immediately felt the back of her head collide against the windowpane. A tall man in an elegant suit stood to her side, also cupping his hands and looking out the window.

    "Wha—what are you doing there? I almost fell." She couldn't help the accusatory tone in her voice, but it felt as useless as getting angry with a crack in a sidewalk.

    "Well you seemed to be looking for something. Thought I could help." He turned toward her. "Have you lost something?"

    In that moment, Esra realized two things and both were quite alarming. The first was that the man was almost stupidly handsome. The second was that he, too, looked like he had stepped directly out of 1942.

     

    ---

    When journalist Esra gets sent to write a story on a 1940s failed film production at the famed Pera Palace hotel, she is inadvertedly transported through time to Christmas, 1942 and the final days of its production, where she crosses paths with a mysterious actor.

    Summary

    “Have you felt that,” Lyonel keeps asking him, “the salt so thick it burns your throat? The rains so heavy they sting your skin? The gales that bend oak and elm until they break?”

    “No,” Duncan says, “no, ser, never,” and presses his thumb into the root of Lyonel’s antler until he can feel the bone throb and creak all the way down in his back teeth.

    In the privacy of night, the company high lords keep is their own.

    “Tomorrow,” Jonathan says, hesitantly. “If I don’t believe you right away. We should have a code word, or something.”

    “It won’t . . . ” Nancy sighs, and shrugs a little. “That won’t work. You won’t remember this at all.” She gives him a rueful smile. “I’m the only one who will.”

    Summary

    He should be on his way. He has to search the sea of merchants for an armorer; he has to find the coin to buy armor, which will mean finding someone willing to offer a decent price for Sweetfoot; he has Egg back at camp, and though Dunk was younger than him the first time the old man left him to see to the needs all men have, it would be poorly done to leave the boy too long by himself.

    He should be on his way, but he lets Lyonel take him by the arms.

    No kind of armor can shield Dunk from the dark and searching eyes of Lyonel Baratheon.

    Summary

    Memory guides him through the motions of it: gauntlets and then braces, slipping off some smith’s masterwork and tossing it to the side like so much chaff, pausing now and then to let Lyonel kiss him until the air is gone from his lungs and his head is swimming from the lack.

    The first day of jousting opens splendidly.

    Summary

    At the end, Hans knows that every lover—even Beatrice—must die.

    My first Hans fic of the KCD2 era. A prose & poem study of Lord Capon’s changing understanding of love and obsession with (his own) death, dragged out into the open by the extraordinary violence that is by knighthood demanded of him.

    Also, a resurrection of KCD1’s original incarnation of Lord Capon: ferocity, honest and joyful; the mania of privilege; the cage of youth; and true love above all.
