    Summary

    Eons ago, when the gods were creating the first Chandrilans, it is said that they made them with four arms, four legs, and two heads. Dissatisfied, they split them down the middle, helplessly leaving each human to search for the rest of themselves. Chandrilan elders teach that each person is longing for their other half torn away from them at creation, for someone to complete the missing parts of them.

    In the practical, highbrow culture of elite Chandrila, this romanticism has fallen by the wayside in favor of familial alliances and marriage contracts. There is no need for talk of such things when one can be woven into the braid of sacred tradition.

    Still, sometimes Mon looks at her husband, and she wonders.

    Summary

    There must always be a Stark in Winterfell. Sansa had thought Jaime Lannister meant it as a jest, before she understood he meant it as an offer.

    Or: Sansa and Jaime get married. It’s easier than she thinks.

    Summary

    It sucked to acknowledge what he'd done to anyone, obviously, but for some reason it always felt the worst in front of Mel, because she'd never once shown him even a hint of judgment for it. He could list every shitty fucking thing he did, all the drugs he stole, the lies he told, all of it, and Mel would just sit there and nod and tell him Okay, well, thank you for being honest with me.

    It wasn't that he didn't want her to do that. It was that he craved it so badly he couldn't stand it, needed her acceptance with an intensity he didn't know how to handle.
