    Summary

    It’s strange. Only now, confronted with the very thing he came down here to find, is reality enforcing itself upon Bdubs.

    This is impossible. Maybe the blackbox of Etho’s AI could be retrieved, but at a depth of 36,000 feet his netherite-fibered body would have lasted six seconds at most before his lovely face pulverized. Whatever’s left might as well be a husk of radiation. He is not outside the submersible. No one is.

    And still. A knock on the door. One-two-three. Polite and patient.

     

    (At the bottom of the ocean, Bdubs studies microbes with the help of the CONCORP android Etho. They are not alone.)

    Summary

    “There is nothing 'supposed' about my children.” she went on, each word gaining weight, “They are the future of this house. Written in law. Written in dragonfire. You may hate that. You may taste bile every time you say their titles. You may kneel at your bedside and whisper other names into your pillow. I do not care.”

    “Rhaenyra,” Viserys breathed, worn and pleading.

    A muscle jumped in Alicent’s cheek. “You think I wanted—”

    “I think you wanted exactly what you have,” Rhaenyra cut in. “Rooms in my father’s Keep. A seat at his side. A crown that never sits right on your hair because you know you came to it on your knees.”

    Summary

    In the aftermath, a thousand and one deaths flash before his eyes, and Ares feels them all. Every sword. Every spear. Every knife.

    Over and over again, he breathes his last breath, sometimes at the hands of another soldier and sometimes at the hands of himself. He stares at his own face, caked in blood and viscera, and hates himself for loving it.

    War is his vice of choice. It is his lover. His best friend. His worst enemy. He hates to love it, but no matter how he tries, he can’t seem to escape its clutches.

    He’s not quite sure if he really wants to.

    - - -

    It’s ironic, isn’t it? Ares hates all of Poseidon’s children with a vengeful fury, and yet, in this new world of Christianity and Capitalism, Perseus Fucking Jackson is the closest thing he has to a priest.

    Summary

    She saw the dance of the dragons in her dreams, fourteen fires reflected upon the violet eyes of The Dreamer as a caveat, the death of all she loved in the name of a throne that would never cut quite as deep as betrayal did - and she was set aflame until her eyes boiled and the salt water was nothing but the steam that trailed above her mouth on a winter's morning.

    Never had she dreamt the future with such vast detail, never had she seen the annihilation of her kin so vividly. She could still feel her head and chest separated by the dragon’s jaw. For the first time in her life, Rhaenyra knew that she would have to act upon it or watch as everything she knew was burnt into ash.

    Her line would not end by the will of a dagger staining a destroyed throne room, the rumbles of winged grief and the desolate wail of the last of the true Targaryen.

    She would not stand idly and let the house of the dragon fall.

    They would not die twice.

    _

    Or, Rhaenyra is cursed with prophetic dreams where she sees the Dance of the Dragons and sets the path of her life to its prevention.
