Summary
"I've earned myself a reputation / That my bark is much worse than my bite / But I keep snapping at Goliath's hands / With all of my tiny might." - The Crane Wives, 'Take Me to War'.
“My Khal,” says Mirri, peering up at him, squinting in the dark to make out the lines of his face, the slope of his broad shoulders, his hands clenched at his side, “and if I must choose between the mother and the child?”
He steps towards her, then, and she falls back with silent terror for an instant. But he does not seize her, only grinds out, “Save my son. He is the Stallion-Who-Mounts-the-World. He will rule the great Grass Sea and the stones of the West.”
Ah, she thinks. And such hope I had for you, Drogo. But there is nothing. You are no shepherd, not even to a single lamb. You are the wolf, or better yet, the wild dog, and there is nothing in you but howling greed.

Cat, Dog, Bird by dwellingondreams

Summary
Her father did odd jobs around the village and farmed, poorly. He was mostly good at tending his garden and fixing broken tools. Sometimes he shoed a horse. Sometimes he went to the mudflats to fish. Sometimes he drank too much and couldn’t stand up. Sometimes he screamed and cursed in the night, and sounded like another man entirely, and Cat would wriggle into her mother’s arms and bury her head in her mother’s chest and sing loudly with her until the screaming stopped.
Mother always sang while she worked. She sang while she swept out the hut, she sang while she washed their clothes in the stream, she sang while she baked, she sang while she hunted for mushrooms and berries, she sang while she fished, she sang while she helped another woman through labor pains, she sang Cat to sleep and Father to wake and she sang with their bird while the bird still lived.
Now the bird was dead. Cat prodded at it sadly with a grubby finger, through the twisted bars of its cage. Father had built the cage for the bird at Mother’s request. She’d found it with a broken wing; it would never fly truly again, so it was best to keep it nice and safe in the cage where at least it could cheer everyone up with its singing.

Summary
You are ULDER RAVENGARD.
Your son is completely besotted with his fiancé, but you can’t figure out the appeal. He’s spoiled, and petty, and seems chiefly concerned with draining the Ravengard coffers. You are, frankly, at your wits’ fucking end.
Surely the only solution is to declare an INSANE SECRET WAR on him before he can ruin the MIDWINTER'S EVE BALL. This cannot possibly backfire.
[A choose-your-own-adventure Astarion son-in-law simulator. Happy Holidays! Or possibly the opposite of that.]

Summary
“The captain was clearly one of those Englishmen who, having acquired a taste for the exotic during his travels and being a gentleman of means, wielded his power over the natives to affect the trappings of a status he had not earned...
...For his own part, Tharkay had long since ceased to draw from the poisoned well the British called love.”
Tharkay and Laurence’s story from Tharkay’s perspective, from Black Powder War through Tongue of Serpents.

Summary
the perfect plan: sylvain (the ideal best friend!) sets felix and dimitri up on a date - a blind date, so they'll actually agree to go. on the date, they realise their feelings for each other. they get together and live happily ever after. sylvain no longer has to listen to felix's angry pining. it's flawless - literally nothing can go wrong.
except, wait - dimitri is an idiot, and felix is felix. okay. back to square one.
