    Summary

    She imagines a little house by the river here, with a room for her girls and a room of her own. Dreamfyre would sleep under the stars, unbothered by spectators. For a moment, she wants to imagine a world where she can exist alone, with no servants, no family, not even her sweet ladies. With no help, she would learn to cook, clean, and hunt without a thousand tagging along. They would speak only Valyrian, and people in the nearby farms would name her a witch, as they already did. But there would be an affectionate tone to it, and when their children got sick, they would brave her small underworld and beg her for some ointment. If they were kind, she would give them a tonic of coneflower, learned from her maester as a child. If they are thankless, she would crush some lily of the valley berries and let them clutch at their chests in the privacy of their own homes.

    (or Rhaena hurtling her way between one hurt and another and loving all the way)

    Summary

    It didn't happen that way. In fact, it could happen so many different ways. Stannis Baratheon deserves better. So does Shireen. So did the watchers and book readers.

    Seventeen different endings. I think I might stop here. I have a couple more ideas, but they are resisting completion, so perhaps they aren't that good.

    Summary

    A look into the Personal Logs of a Linguist on Deep Space Nine, who is uncovering the funniest and sweetest translation errors, and trying to patch the UT along the way.

    ***
    And if you had asked Lieutenant Wittgenstein, who was currently tasked with the next report on the use of the UT on Deep Space Nine, which was a special case, what with all the Gamma Quadrant languages mingling in the matrix now, nevermind the decidedly casual language the UT was being exposed to at Quarks, she could have told you a number of things. The UT memory bank transcripts, heavily encrypted and for the linguists’ eyes only, of course, were littered with missed moments, lost meanings, and mix-ups. For instance…

    Summary

    When a forensic archaeologist is called to investigate an old grave site, he isn't prepared for what he finds. He unearths a long forgotten tragedy and the story of an unbridled obsession that consumed all in its path. This contains canon characters who go in very "uncanon" directions.

    "You're like my own personal brand of heroin.”

    A study in objectification and obsession, morality and selfishness, nature vs. nurture, and the value of a soul.

    That did not sound right to Jon, yet he said nothing. The maester was a hundred years old, and a high officer of the Night's Watch; it was not his place to contradict him." ~ A Game of Thrones, Jon VIII
