    Summary

    The smallfolk had a saying: ‘Royce brides meet a cold end when they take a dragonlord to wed.’

    Alyssa believed House Royce was happily rid of Targaryens after Jeyne Arryn sent Rhea's overgrown cave worm of a husband skulking from the Eyrie, denying his claim to Runestone. In the years following her cousin's passing, Alyssa's troubles numbered few around the lovely old heap of stone called home...until a letter arrived.

    The rest, as the maesters would one day write, is history.

    Did @bardofficial win a Grammy? No. But he DID put his husband in a leather tunic for the red carpet and in that sense, we’re all winners tonight

    Summary

    After a long moment, Kaz exhaled and leant back in his chair.
    "I can have him dead by tonight," He said, “If you don’t mind the Van Eck household getting involved.”
    Inej stared at him.
    “That's it? You’ll help?” She asked dubiously.
    Kaz frowned.
    “Would I have bothered to listen if I wasn’t going to?”
    "No 'what's in it for me'? What happened to never something for nothing?”
    "Well, it’s lucky for you that there's already something in it for me, isn’t it?"

    ---

    Inej needs a powerful man dead. Kaz, busy conducting 'renovations' across the West Stave and feuding with famous stage actors, is glad to have the opportunity to eliminate a threat.

    Summary

    The Proctor House was a wide-fronted timber saltbox: the oldest one in the village, Remus always said, although that never made much sense to Sirius because such a house would have needed four, maybe five men to build it, and the village was too far from the towns for the builders to have come here and left again at the end of each day, so it stood to reason that other houses must have existed first, if only to provide the builders with shelter whilst they worked on the Proctor House. Regardless, Remus thought it was the oldest, and Sirius had always known Remus was much cleverer than he, so it must have been the oldest.

    Sirius and Remus in a village, in the past, picking apples and falling in love and falling apart, together.
