    Summary

    “Some whispered about her wealth, others about her beauty, but many still about her barrenness—her husband’s campaign had ended in glory for the crown but without an heir left behind. She was a wasted prize. She was dangerous: a woman with her own lands, her own coffers, her own power.

    Now, her gaze fell across the dais to him:

    Prince Jayce Talis of the North, widower of a Queen.”

    Summary

    The next man is a tiny thing, slender as a skinned rabbit. His head is shaved and he keeps his chin ducked low, eyes on the ground between his knees. Ambessa’s hand consumes his, ridges of his bone digging into her calloused flesh. His handshake is light, weak, barely attempted.

    She tries to release him, disgusted, disappointed with this entire impotent town—but his fingertips slide down to encircle the back of her wrist. Quick, the white flash of teeth before a bite, he flips her hand back and presses a kiss to the centre of her palm.

    *

    Both of Ambessa’s children take after their father.

    Summary

    These are just stories, drabbles, canons about the Medarda family. Unless stated, individual entries likely are NOT part of the same continuity, some won't even remotely adhere to canon. I just want to write about them in any iteration my muse allows so here we go.

    Summary

    Mel slices the knife across the canvas as though it was a sharper kind, one that would rend the painting in two. Perhaps that would be a better use of her time than painstakingly recreating something that would be better forgotten.

    (But nothing ever stays dead, right? Nothing ever goes the way you want it to.)

    Boom.
