liberator! liberator! by ballantine

Summary
Brutus still cherished the idea that once Caesar was out of the way, Antony's generous nature, ambition, and love of glory would respond to the noble example set by the conspirators, and that he would join them in helping their country to achieve her liberty.
-PlutarchIn the run-up to the most famous political assassination in history, principled-to-a-fault Marcus Brutus tried unsuccessfully to recruit Caesar's right-hand man, the controversial and outrageous Mark Antony; in this story, Antony accepts. They will spend the next nine months staggering from one crisis to the next, fending off all manner of detractors, power-seekers, each other, and one particularly determined youth who in another life became the first emperor of Rome.

Summary
“It makes me feel like a princess,” she admitted. “Just like in the stories. A fair maiden locked away in a far-off turret. Knowing that any strapping young knights wanting to court me will have to earn their way past the fierce, jealous dragon who guards my door. It’s quite comforting.”
Rhaenyra grinned sleepily. “A princess in a what now?”
Incredible. She could actually hear Alicent rolling her eyes. “In a high tower, yes, you’re very clever, Rhaenyra. Gods, why do I talk to you.”

Summary
Robb knows duty, he learned it standing at his father’s knee and sitting on his mother’s lap before he had a concept of what it actually meant. He was born to be Lord of Winterfell, Warden of the North. Kingship was never supposed to be on the table for him. But his family has been torn apart one too many times, and war seems endless; his only option now is to burrow in for the long winter, no matter the cost.
(And if that cost is his life? Well it’s a calculated risk he took the day they laid that weighty bronze circlet on his brow, naming him King.)
--
Or;
When the Tyrells switch allegiance before Robb Stark can be killed by the Lannisters, it only serves to stoke the fires of the wars in Westeros, the after effects rippling across the realm for years to come.

Summary
Nico is alive. Jason can feel Nico breathing against him, and the mop of ebony hair actually tickles against Jason, and Nico’s skin is smooth against him.
“You’re so cold,” Nico whispers in his ear, shivering.
“You’re not,” Jason whispers back, and he holds back a sob. He feels Nico’s hands wrap around his shoulder blades—and Jason doesn’t know if it’s the touch, or Nico’s silent word, but he feels calm. At peace.
--
Jason spends his time in the Underworld waiting for Nico to come visit him. Waiting for everyone else to die, so he's not alone. Wondering how he's in Elysium, and why he can't be happy.

Summary
Let’s talk about a Susan who never moved on, who buried her family in English soil and spent the rest of her life trying to find her way home. She did not believe lions were kind, but she always remembered a bow in her schoolgirl hands.
She looked in every old wardrobe she came across. It was casual, everyday– the first day in a new lecture hall, she checked the back of the coat closet. Friends had her over for Christmas dinner and she excused herself to go the bathroom, checked every cabinet and closet, and then headed back in for pudding. She went home with a cute boy she met in a smoky little pub and she checked his wardrobe before she headed home the next morning, heels in hand.
She also went to college, got a political science degree she had to fight for. She got a byline in the local paper, a few ladies’ magazines, then a larger regional publication.
She had mimosa brunches with friends. She read detective novels, never touched fantasy, and finally one day she stepped through an old stone archway barely thinking about it and–-
She was standing in a treeless plain, all yellow grass and blue blue skies.
(Susan Pevensie goes to Middle Earth)

Summary
He’s wandering across the wooden deck of a boat set inside the museum when he hears something that sounds almost like his name. He glances to his left, certain he’s mistaken, but then he hears it again, “Laurie!” followed by another, even more enthusiastic exclamation, “Laurie!”
Turning, he finds several patrons with sour expressions, clearly displeased that their quiet progression through the museum has been disrupted - and Amy March, half-running up the ramp that leads onto the ship, coming into focus just in time for him to catch her as she flings her arms around him.

Laurie, Amy, two cases of imposter syndrome, and a chance meeting in Zurich.
