Summary
Why does the word Leadworth beat in time with her pulse and echo in her head, making itself her singular purpose? Is it a clue left behind by the man who held her gently and then set her free? Is it a failsafe in her programming, designed by Kovarian to steer her path from a distance? Or is it just something she's made up in her own head to fill the silence?

Summary
How many syllables is it, the forbidden name of the War Doctor? How many vowels? How many consonants? Could she stumble upon it if she tried enough combinations of sounds? If she accidentally muttered it to herself, would the universe end? If she screamed it into every corner of the galaxy, would the silence break?

Summary
Her fingers thread through his hair and he takes it as a truce. Not a final resolution of the tension that erupted between them last night, but an unspoken agreement to live at least for tonight inside this moment where she admits he was right and he acknowledges he was wrong. A silent acceptance that she needs him too much right now not to trust him.

Summary
“I need you, uncle,” Rhaenyra repeats unfailingly when he asks, and often even when he doesn’t. She gives him her assurance as freely as he gives her priceless Valyrian heirlooms, flasks of Dornish perfumes, yards of Myrish lace. She understands what those words mean to him, even more now than she did when she first said them last year on Driftmark.
The skies above Blackwater Bay -> Driftmark -> Sea Dragon Tower -> The Chamber of the Painted Table

Summary
Set in the aftermath of 4x04 and the sire bond, Elena POV
Elena dreams in red. Poppy strewn ditches and forests turned scarlet by autumn leaves. Rust covered bridges under a flaming moon. A string of rubies at her neck and nails painted a deep, gleaming cherry. It all bleeds together; blood everywhere, splattered on her dress and dripping from Damon's lips.
