The poison drips through by everayy
Fandoms: A Knight of the Seven Kingdoms (TV), A Song of Ice and Fire - George R. R. Martin
28 Feb 2026

Summary
Daeron drank all he could after the hedge knight left, in hopes that, when night came—for he had learned it always must—he dreamt of nothing but calmness and the swift sound of the nearby river he had been told the name of but forgotten. Maybe in my dream I'll remember. Maybe in my dream it'll be a name as sweet as song. He emptied his cup and poured himself another, thinking hope could taste better than Arbor gold.

Summary
“What do we do now, then?”
Jon’s voice did not waver, and for that he was glad. Aegon clutched his arm tightly and slowed their progress so he could turn to face Jon.
“You have to go North, that much is clear. But you don’t have to marry any alpha with an icicle for a cock. You humor Father for a few moons, and then you come home.”
Rhaenys had a smarmy grin on her face when she piped up, warranting a nasty look from Aegon.
“Perhaps he wants an alpha with an icicle for a cock.”Series

Summary
“You, monk,” Ouyang said, “what’s your name?
“Xu Da,” the monk said. His voice sounded off, as though he was only half present. He looked at Ouyang with wide, unfocused eyes that sharpened only slowly. “I know you,” he said. “Lord Esen’s eunuch.”
The words brought a spasm of pain to Ouyang’s breast. In an instant, he was transported back to that ger, with the copper stink of blood thick in his nostrils, its bitter taste filling his mouth, Esen’s heaving body held in his arms, feeling his own fate unspool like a ruined tapestry. “Lord Esen is dead,” he said. He’d died a senseless death, and once the funeral rites had been performed, Chaghan had punished his son’s eunuch with fifty blows of the heavy rod for failing to protect him and thrown him out to starve in the streets.
Ouyang is part of the bandit group Xu Da joins after the monastery burns down.

Summary
In its absence, the moon peeked back into view, sliced into ribbons by errant branches.
Bunny shivered, thinking of those pockmarked craters in the moon, circular like gun wounds. For a mad, feverish moment, he imagined himself hauling the gun from its holder, the metal cold and slick beneath his hands, and running into the woods, screaming. He’d twist one foot into the damp forest floor, pivot and shoot randomly into the trees, bullets pinging off tree trunks, the gun juddering at each teeth-chattering pop of the trigger.
or,
A fic where Bunny doesn't die during that fateful spring. Instead, he's trapped in a time loop and forced to face his death and harrowing sense of morality.

'Have you come to overcharge me as well?’ Tilley declares, raising an eyebrow at Eloise.
Eloise feels her cheeks get even warmer, in embarrassment and delight.
'No. I…I came to call on you,’ she says, lifting the bundle of books in her arm in an awkward shrug.
'I am unused to my callers being quite so pretty, it is a welcome change,’ Tilley muses and glides down the stairs, smiling that knowing smile that makes something inside Eloise hum, like a string in her middle has been plucked.

Zukki Week 2023 Day 6: Political complications
“Ugh. You.” One fan came spinning out and lodged itself into the pillar beside his head. “Make it fast.”
Sokka stepped out from the gloom. “What did you think you were doing with the Fire Lord yesterday?”
“Sparring.”
“After that? When you plastered yourself all over him?”
“Oh,” said Suki delicately, “I didn’t realise you own him.”
After a protracted civil war, the victorious new Fire Lord sends a call for a new bodyguard across the four nations. A Southern Water Tribesman and a warrior from Kyoshi Island respond.
