    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.)
