Summary
Seasons 7/8 canonverse AU, with the backstory drawing heavily on the books.
After bringing the Gift to House Frey, Arya rides south to kill the queen. On the road she meets the Kingslayer riding north in stolen black armor and with one fewer hands than he’d had when last she’d seen him four years previously. She tells him that she’s off to kill the Queen; he tells her he rides north to fight an army of the dead alongside her brother Jon.
They agree to ride north together, and what happens next is a story of two broken people finding themselves and each other. Prophecies are fulfilled, treaties are brokered, and sex is had.
Excerpt:
“How did you recognize me?” she demanded. “And why are you out here alone?”“I could ask you the same things,” said Jaime, rummaging in his saddlebag. He came up with a few strips of dried meat, and he tossed one to Arya.
Arya shrugged. “That’s easy: you still look like a Lannister, even if you aren’t dressed like one. I’m out here alone because that’s how I’ve survived, and besides: who would help me kill the queen?”
“Me, on the right day,” said Jaime in an offhand way.

Summary
A Fedal (Roger Federer x Rafael Nadal) Manifesto. Very serious business. Addresses rumors and fanon beliefs.
In light of the recent comments made by Rafael Nadal regarding equal pay for women in tennis, I have decided to discontinue my support of him. The way this will affect the Manifesto is that there will be no updates for the foreseeable future, but most likely forever. And there aren’t strong enough words to express how much this hurts me, but there are plenty to explain why I’ve made this decision. If you are interested, please continue reading here.

Summary
The first texts come out of the blue, after his first round win, months after they've last spoken (and when he stops to think about it later, much later, it's the longest they've gone without speaking in over a decade)
What are you wearing? Andy says, immediately following it up with,
And I'm not trying to be cute.
Seriously, is that pink?Bookmarked by rooni8181
