Summary
The oldest act of creation demands the oldest kind of magic.
A bed of grass, the blood of maidens, a turn of the wrist withershins for every eight the other way, under the light of the solstice – either will suffice – clad only in one’s skin. Not the most precise of spells, and not the most reliable either – an act of creation that can lead to nothing, or worse, but one tries it as one must.
However, with a lack of precision comes a lack of specificity – the verses in language that no longer stretches to a rhyme are never very clear about what a maiden is. Certainly, two witches who have shared a bed for countless decades can believably be maidens to the right ears.
In which Nicholas is born of old magic. It is not enough.

Summary
Siuan wakes with her cheek pressed against familiar cold stone, her body sprawled in a way that should leave her back aching, but her only sensation is awareness.
Cold stone against her cheek, against her bare arms. Cold air. Cold silence surrounding her. It is her, twenty-two empty seats, and that cloying silence.
She knows where she is. She can guess why she is here.
She can’t bear to think about it, not yet.
After her death, a Dreamer wakes in Tel'aran'rhiod.
Or, a post-finale fix-it that follows the path laid out by the books, except where it won't.

Summary
It had been like that with every man Madeline had sought. There was no pursuit at all – she’d choose to smile in that particular way, and they’d follow her so easily that she often found herself surprised that they didn’t leave trails of drool behind them. She’d fuck them senseless, they’d try – and inevitably fail – to return the favour, and she would leave with a part of them they did not know they had lost.
Madeline Ashton does not know what she is. However, she knows that there is one person who does not succumb to her: Helen Sharp.

Summary
Agatha hums in imperceptibly soft affirmation, and her eyes flick upwards to meet Rio’s, as though she’s waiting for her to say something more. But there’s nothing left to say.
Or, another way that the fourth episode could have ended.

Summary
Berelain was not exactly sure what to make of Galadedrid Damodred. The man really was gorgeous. Even with the fresh scar that slashed across his face, he still far outstripped all other men in beauty. And he was unusually proper and considerate, rarely complaining about having to be moved from one room to another to make space for all the wounded that now inhabited her once fair city.
But, Light, was he stubborn.__
Or, in which Berelain and Galad try to form a budding relationship after The Last Battle, but they are awkward about it because they are both Too Hot.
