    Summary

    Kasuga would have done this with no hesitation. Fling himself into the line of fire without so much as a second thought. Kasuga would have taken to these treacherous waters no problem, just like the dragonfish on his back.

    Mitsuo’s feeling less deserving of the guardian that snarls between his shoulder blades with each passing year.

    ===

    Mitsuo's story throughout the years, and how he changed; from the boy constantly running in circles after Kasuga, to the man who risked execution to save the leader of the Liumang.

    Summary

    "I must insist," Masumi quietly says once Majima's hilarity has died down. "A yakuza captain injuring an eleven-year-old boy hardly seems like a fair retaliation to me."
    "I disagree," Majima replies, a sharp smile splitting his emaciated face. "Even a kid should know. You never pick a fight you ain't ready to lose."
    "You know, Majima-san, I wholeheartedly agree with that statement."

    Jiro dies fives years earlier, and the Arakawa family acquires another teenage boy.
    Everything changes.

    Summary

    In a last ditch attempt to avoid war after Viserys's death, Alicent visits Rhaenyra with a plot to put her on the Throne. With Rhaenyra's family living at the Red Keep again, they are forced to face their past and find a way forward.

     

    “Two days ago we had dinner together, as a family. And although the children bickered, I could not help but—,” her voice caught in her throat, “—but hope that we could yet repair things.” When Alicent said we, Rhaenyra knew she meant just them. “A day after that, and we were on the brink of war.” She looked up, and Rhaenyra was surprised to see familiar damp eyes. “I’m tired, Rhaenyra. I am very tired. I am tired of forcing my children into roles they do not want. I am tired of fighting for a power I never cared for. And I am exhausted, Rhaenyra, of hating you.”

    Summary

    Hundreds of years from now, historians will never know what her captain was thinking, when he brought Enies Lobby to its knees with a declaration of war, when he attacked a Celestial Dragon on an island in an archipelago, and she won't be there to explain, "it was for a friend, you see?"
