    Summary

    "Burning Nerves?" he mutters, moving in closer. "I'm afraid I haven't heard of it." 

    Garak hums and accepts it, pushing aside a stray pillow to break the distance between them. 

    "Oh, I'm not surprised," he almost purrs. "It's not exactly a children's nursery rhyme, or even a famous classic. In fact," he adds lightly, as if telling him a secret, "the author was exiled in disgrace." 

    ---

    Garak tells Julian a story about trust, and honesty. Their interpretations on its meaning vary, even to themselves.

    Summary

    "Meanwhile, I will raise my own glass to how you made me fast and expendable / And I will drink to your excellent health and your cruelty; will you have one on me?" - Joanna Newsom, "Have One On Me."

    The gods are laughing, Cersei is certain, when a scant five months after his coronation, and three weeks before he was to wed her and make her queen, Robert is thrown from his horse. He lands hard on the cobbled street, instantly breaking his neck. She is certain the gods are laughing, not so much because of that, but because of what spooked his horse in the first place- not a would be Dornish assassin, not a sudden storm, nor a mob of angry peasants demanding justice for their still ruined city, but from a loose pig. A loose pig is what brought down the Demon of the Trident, the Storm King come again. A black-eared sow bolted out from a dung heap, startled his horse, and he lost his seat before he knew what was happening.

    (In which Cersei prepares to wed King Stannis Baratheon, first of his name, in the wake of the sudden and tragic death of Robert.)
