    Summary

    He’s sick of her. Sick to death. Sick to the bone. She’s like a fucking tumor: stubborn, infectious, latches on to the blood vessels, sinks its row of miniature teeth into the vulnerable thin membranous parts, her hungry spindly roots finding her forever home and she’ll not let anything weed her out, come hell or high water.

    She’s a tough gray thing, his doomless beloved nightmare, incomparable, singular in her intractable tortuous stinkfest. Unmanageable. A foul brat through and through, whose feeble swiss-cheese brain can’t comprehend the meaning or function of boundaries. He supposes he can’t blame her much, not when their darling rotten mother has decided that Andrew is Ashley’s de facto parent, caretaker, best friend, mentor, and babysitter, but she’s no longer the little snotty-nosed kid who stuck to the bottom of his shoe like a chewed out piece of fucking gum.

    *

    Or, to make his relationship work with Julia, Andrew caves in to her suggestion: hook Ashley up with someone so she wouldn't focus on Andrew so much anymore. Unfortunately, Andrew doesn't calculate the damage it could do to his psyche.

    Summary

    It’s all smoke and mirrors—illusions and tricks that he sells to the world like some sort of fucked up magician. Or a con artist—Andrew thinks that’s a more apt comparison. He’s good at it, too.

    Pretending came as naturally as breathing at this point. He can be anything that anyone wants him to be, even if he would love nothing more than to take a bat to the back of their skull and bash their fucking brains in until their face remained nothing but an unrecognizable red mush. They’d never know.

    He’s that good.

    Andrew knows the rot is there, though. He can always feel it—sloshing around in his insides like thick black sludge. Not quite like a tar pit, but something close to one. It builds in his lungs like the smoke that he blackens them with until he is choking on it, until he feels like it’s going to explode out of his fucking chest. Those days are the worst, when it’s nearly impossible to keep it together, when the staples holding his chest together burst apart and the festering rot pours out.

    Ashley is always harder to ignore on those days.

    Summary

    Husbands touch their wives like this, and it’s all very well. Uncles and nieces, perhaps. Not brothers and sisters.

    It’s lucky she and Aemond are meant for something beyond marriage. Something more important.
