    Summary

    "Her forehead smoothes out. Apathy is worse than confusion, worse than skepticism. Apathy is worse than everything. He’d rather she gutted him with his own dagger than ignore him. He’d sooner she walked all over him than skirted around him."

    In which Roman indulges in falling and dreams of flying, and doesn't quite manage to do either.

    Canon-complaint contemplation of Roman and Gerri.

    Summary

    He's just a guy she has sex with sometimes (regularly, a lot, all the time). It's no big deal (it's a massive deal) that she enjoys his company (values his friendship more than anything they do with their clothes off). They're just friends (except when they're so, so much more).

    Summary

    Peace has been the default for centuries, but in modern day Westeros, alliances among the Seven Kingdoms are still formed through arranged marriages.

    Northern Princess Arya Stark had always hoped to avoid that fate, but having been called home from school due to a scandal, she’s horrified to learn of her own upcoming betrothal to the crown prince of the Stormlands.

    With only days to go before she meets her intended, Arya hatches a plan that just might get her out of the marriage. After all, as her mother insists, one of the most valuable things a royal bride can possess is her virginity.

    Inspired by a Tumblr post.

    Summary

    “How’re you doing?” Theon asked.

    What he really meant was, “How are you handling the arrival of Gendry Waters – your one time best friend who you confessed your love to while begging him to come with you to Braavos, who politely rejected you, and who moved out from your shared apartment with only a sterilized email informing you he wouldn’t be renewing the his lease – knowing you’ll be forced to speak to him at least once this week?”

    “I’m fine."

    Summary

    Arya goes West to find what there is at the edge of the world, while Gendry gives two years to his lordship, and then finally heads East to learn Qohorik smithing secrets. Fate would have that if you go far enough West, and far enough East you are bound to meet.

    When they meet, Gendry invites Arya to stay at his place, while she sorts herself out. In the end, she doesn't leave, and they find their way to becoming friends again, they finally talk about all the things left unsaid between them, and they explore the secrets of Qohor, The City of Sorcerers.
