    Summary

    From the outside, the Quinns are the picture of perfection: a devout Christian family in small-town Texas, admired by neighbors, respected by their Baptist church, and held together by Phillip Quinn’s stern hand and Valeria’s quiet devotion. Fourteen-year-old Landon Quinn is seen as a timid only child; bright, polite but quiet and seemingly destined for great things.

    But behind closed doors, the truth is far darker. Phillip’s authority is absolute, his violence barely hidden, and his obsession with control and a deep, disturbing love for his own son that extends far beyond discipline.

    To survive, Landon retreats into a world of fantasy. In his mind he is not a child, but a knight; armoured, courageous, sworn to fight the dragon that stalks around his home with a breath that reeks of alcohol and cigarettes. Yet even knights can be broken, and the walls between imagination and reality grow thin as Phillip’s influence and obsession tightens around him.

    Volume I of this psychological thriller peels back the polished surface of a “perfect” family, revealing how faith can be weaponised, how love can be twisted, and how a child learns to cope with a horror no one around him will see.

    Summary

    If things were different, and Laenor died in the Stepstones after Jace was born, how would things look if Rhaenyra had been able to marry Harwin? Well, he could claim two of his sons as his own, and spend much more time with them, and the Greens have limited ammunition to keep causing drama. That doesn't stop them, though.

    Everyone's favourite scene from 1x06, reimagined so Harwin doesn't get himself shipped off to Harrenhal, and Cole still gets what's coming to him.

    A canon rewrite inspired by my incredible rp over on Script (scripturentwriting.com) with my writing bestie, Pirate. Credit to her for always giving me muse and indulging my hyperfixation, and for supplying me with the best Rhaenyra.

As the ravens went out, the rumours spread and the celebrations swung into planning, the Seven Kingdoms reckoned with an unbelievable truth. The Princess Rhaenyra Targaryen would wed Ser Harwin Strong before the year was out. 

    or, the what if fanfic to mend our broken hearts
