Summary
"They call it breaking... when you train a horse for riding. You break it. Isn't that strange?" Lottie's gaze in the firelight was sharp, gleaming; Shauna felt it like a knife held to her throat. "Nothing wild can ever truly be tamed."
--
Shauna believes Lottie's loyalty will secure her crown. Lottie believes Shauna holds the key to a new way of connecting with the wilderness.
(Or, shauna and lottie both have a lot of issues that weird gay ritual wilderness sex will probably definitely make worse)
Fic is set post-S3.

Summary
“I bet he’s happy you’re safe.” Terry smiles sadly and looks up at her. “None of us wanted you to get hurt...”
Nobody ever does see what they’re doing as hurting her. The fate of humanity has always meant more than how she felt. She reaches under the hair covering the three parallel scars over her eye to touch them. A reminder of how much she’s been hurt for humanity's sake.
“Yeah.”

Summary
“Hardly the first person to dislike me,” Cao Cao hummed. “But definitely the most devoted.”
“For now,” Xiahou Dun grumbled. “You’ve got a talent for inspiring either awe or hatred, Cao Cao…”
Cao Cao exhaled sharply. It was almost a laugh. “I’ll take that as a compliment.”
Xiahou Dun, and how his name will forever be written-- in every history book-- right next to Cao Cao's own.

Summary
After months of feeling nothing, the cold came like a blessing, wrapped itself around her shoulders like the Mother’s mantle. That was not to say that Alicent thought winter would be easy. She knew it would not. As the Maesters had all been grumbling to each other while tending to the King’s pains, it was bound to be severe.
That whitish light taking the sky, covering the city like mist thicker than mist, like the breath of a baby dragon, like Aegon’s spawn, once so small that if she wanted she could have cradled it in the palm of one hand.
Not that Alicent would have, and anyway her hands were ever too cold for the touch of such creatures.
--
A retelling of Agamemnon in which winter comes and when Alicent trembles the whole structure of the Keep trembles with her.Bookmarked by barroque

Summary
“You almost died.” Kimiko signs furiously.
“Maybe I should have, huh?” Frenchie hisses. His head hurts, blood roaring viciously in his ears. It feels like the thing rattling around inside his skull hasn’t been his for a long time. Suddenly he’s untethered in space, hands stilling in his lap.
His voice softens, eyes losing focus. It feels like forever until he’s able to speak again.
“But even that would be too big a mercy, wouldn’t it mon coeur?”
...
Frenchie is no stranger to life's bullshit curveballs. This one's starting to look like it might be the worst of them all.

Summary
They decided then a better position was needed. So Queequeeg sat up straight, and Ishmael sat between both of her legs, back-to-chest. Not so subtly it was a hug for both, but it was a good way to map out the body as well…
She started with the arms.
“Here. A wheel. For the ship.”
She etches it onto paper, it’s scratchy and simple and resembles an old boat way more than the one Ahab has, but it works.

Summary
Long before the White Flash killed civility, and long before Brad tasted Joy, he had grown disturbingly used to the taste of blood on his tongue. He and his friends were far too young for the lessons they'd learned, but they could never anticipate how much worse things would become.
Only one student in their class knows: an unnerving, intense little girl named Joan. What she lacks in charm she makes up for in ambition, for she believes she can prevent the apocalyse — as long as she saves Lisa Armstrong.
"LISA: The Faithful" explores the trajectory of Brad and Lisa's lives in an alternate universe in which an unlikely ally intervenes on their behalf. Could the White Flash be avoided? With such high stakes, there's no room for doubt: there can only be faith.
