    Summary

    They stay that way for a long time, Catra’s face tucked into Adora’s shoulder, Adora gently cradling Catra’s head. Adora is careful not to hug Catra too hard or make her feel restrained, anticipating the moment that Catra will start to pull away — but Catra doesn’t. She hangs on so tightly it hurts, her claws digging through Adora’s jacket and into her back, latching into her like she did when she was a kitten and didn’t know how much her claws could hurt. Adora tries not to wince, tries not to move a single muscle, worried that if she does the spell will break and Catra will struggle away, appalled at having shown weakness.

    But Catra doesn’t let go. And so neither does Adora.

    Summary

    Modern AU in which Sansa, the crown princess of the Northern Kingdom, falls in love with a “commoner” from another country at university—a loose, gender-swapped take on the book The Royal We, which is itself loosely based on William and Kate (except the girl is American).

    Summary

    When he was undercover, Jon once had to sit through a twelve-hour drive with the infamous Craster, eight trafficked girls shivering in the cargo hold and a Beretta sweating in the cupholder between them. Having immersed himself in conditions of threat for so long, he knows only too well the slim shades of difference between safety and danger, and how easily the two can slip into each other’s guises, like hands in a glove. In the days and months since he’s resurfaced into normal life, every moment has felt as though he were careening into traffic with his brakes cuts.

    But now he’s here in the room with her and her inscrutable look, and the rush is there but the fear is gone. He wants to jump. He wants to put his hands on the wheel and drive.

    Summary

    For years Sansa has ruled the North, wisely, justly, capably--and utterly alone. Everyone tells her she needs an heir; all she wants is a family. But after everything she’s suffered, there’s only one man she trusts won’t use her for her claim. Only one she trusts with her body. Unfortunately, she trusts him in no other way--especially not with her heart.

    For years Jon’s hidden in the far north, choosing solitude over the people he loves, choosing self-exile as punishment rather than atoning. But then Tormund tires of his moping and drags Jon back to Winterfell where guilt and consequences and a tempting offer await him.

    A story in which Jon and Sansa reunite after five years and enter an arrangement despite having unresolved issues between them. Post canon. (Not an arranged marriage fic.)

    Summary

    When the Winterfellians learn that Cersei has hired men to kidnap Sansa, they decide that Sansa needs to run away and Jon volunteers to protect her.
