Summary
It also didn’t help that the average glyph message was only three characters long, used no articles or prepositions, and usually had no verbs. What was the proper response to:: Curiosity; Sensation of great speed? Was it a question? A comparison? Why, after a brief visit by National Security Director Mearing, did four different ‘Bots send:: Emphasis; overlapping? Why was a particularly bad joke by Bulkhead derided as ::Undercharged when there were actual glyphs for Not funny and Humor fail? How did any of that work?

Summary
When a far more Jaded, far-less-Mortal Percy wakes up in his nine-year-old body, he very firmly decides that Once Was Enough, Thank You! So, instead of deciding to re-do his childhood But Better, he decides that this whole Mortal Hero thing is just NOT for him. So, instead, he decides to do as his kind-of-sibling Nereus does, and become a Hermit. Hell, he even makes his Mortality burn away faster than it had in the Before, so he CAN'T become the Child of Prophesy this time!
His plan is absolutely foolproof!
(Now if only he considered everyone ELSE when he made this plan...) -

Summary
I was angry with my friend;
I told my wrath, my wrath did end.
I was angry with my foe:
I told it not, my wrath did grow.House Targaryen is a family of many hatreds. And of many loves. None know it better than Aegon Targaryen, the last son of Baelon and Alyssa, the youngest brother of King Viserys.
And none will learn it better than his only child, Alyssa.
Or: sometimes a family is a Citadel dropout, a child bride, her sworn sword, and their five collective children (who are all married to each other)

Summary
Quen felt peculiar up on the dais, flanked by stags and lions and wolves.
The Usurper had once been a formidable man, with blazing eyes and a massive war hammer. Now, he was just a red-faced fat man, a pathetic drunk who ate as gracefully as a half-starved hog.
His Queen seemed to be a perpetually unhappy woman. Cersei Lannister was as beautiful as the singers said, though the woman had all the warmth of a dead fish.
She might have done well in the north, Quen thought, almost pitying.
(Or: The gods in their blind malice give Theon the feeble body of a woman.)

Summary
“You understand, Professor,” Harry began, after a moment, “that I don’t have my N.E.W.T.s. I never even finished seventh year. Between everything, I never had a chance the first time around, and then afterwards there didn’t seem to be much point. Hermione argued for it, of course, but I was so tired of Britain. So technically, I am completely unqualified for the position.”
“Quite a way to begin an interview, Mr. Potter,” McGonagall said, dryly.
Or, three years after the war, Harry Potter becomes Hogwarts' newest Defense Against the Dark Arts professor.

Summary
"Those we hold up / Are we lifting them up / Or are we tying them down to the altar." - Flobots, 'Failure Games'.
Vaegon stares down at the stilled, waxen face a moment longer. Stones carved with the Father’s bearded likeness hold down his father’s eyelids. He clasps his sheathed sword with stiffened hands; his fingernails are bruised violet and blue. The bruises are painted over, but the manner of his death is no secret; thousands of men watched him and Vermithor plummet from the sky at Cape Wrath. A one in a million shot, Boremund Baratheon proclaimed, voice shaking in shock. But all it took was a single scorpion bolt to fell Vermithor, just as it only took the one to lay low Meraxes. Like Rhaenys, the Conqueror’s beloved sister queen, Jaehaerys fell with his dragon, caught in the straps of the saddle. He was a strong swimmer, but he stood no chance when he sunk into that burning sea, surrounded by ships full of screaming Dornishmen, shouting out in panic, terror, joy, and relief.

Summary
"No hope in the air, / No hope in the water, / Not even for me, / Your last serving daughter." - Laura Marling, 'Hope in the Air.'
Gwen brings to mind Quellon’s doomed reforms and the stares and gossip that followed him, once the most renowned and famed of all Ironborn, at the end of his life. How the mighty have fallen. Balon will be glad to be rid of her; once she’s married, she’s no longer his responsibility, even if she’s widowed. He doesn’t want to have to so much look at her again, not anymore than he did after the Rebellion, when she did nothing but weep and cling to his increasingly unhinged wife.
…The greenlanders were formed from clay and sand and mud, and once you dunk them in water, they crumble and drown. The Ironborn were forged from stone and steel; their God loves them so that He made them unbreakable, undaunted, undefeated. Except when they are defeated. And then He loves them a little less.
(In which Quellon's final child by his last wife, a stillborn daughter, survives.)

Summary
When Stannis was gone, Renly couldn’t help but look up once more, towards the comet hanging in the sky. Bright red, and so far away. It had appeared last night and would surely vanish from the sky within the evening, having continuing its course through space away from the planet with no name where Renly had been reborn. The planet where, he knew, he would face dragons and monsters born from the cold.
Renly turned away. The comet did not mean anything. He had more pressing matters to attend anyway. He was going North to meet the infamous Ned Stark. With any luck, maybe he would finally find the beginning of the Plot.
Or maybe the Plot would find him.
(Self-Insert with nearly no knowledge of canon reborn as Renly Baratheon.)
