    Summary

    A different take on the daughters of Daemon Targaryen:

    What if Daemon had a daughter that he chose to abandon rather than love?

    What would that look like?

    Perhaps something like this:

    After helping her foster-brother secure his inheritance as Warden of the North, Princess Visenya Targaryen, the daughter of the Rogue Prince and Lady Rhea Royce, leaves the North where she'd been cast away.

    She has an inheritance of her own to claim.

    And not the gods nor men were going to stop her.

    Summary

    Will looked over just in time to see, well, himself.

    The spectre of himself on the screen was frozen still, wearing a white prison outfit that Will was certain that he hadn’t worn before. What was more disturbing, was the transparent mask covering the lower half of his face, like a muzzle of sorts. His face was startlingly pale, bloodless lips quirked up in a dangerous smile. Will watched, enraptured, as his own dead eyes, devoid of emotion, stared back.

    He heard Alana’s soft gasp, but it was distant and hazy.

    A chyron at the bottom part of the screen declared the phrase ‘Embrace the Madness’.

    That… definitely didn’t help his case. His insides went cold then hot all over as his eyes finally rested on the last line.

    Emblazoned in a menacing tone of dark red, was the word ‘HANNIBAL’.

    Summary

    Legosi was not supposed to be born. It's a crime. Legosi was especially not supposed to be born as the avatar - and that makes it even worse.

    The last avatar passed away 18 years ago. The next was supposed to be a reptile. The world has spent the last 18 years searching and failing to find the new avatar among Clan Squamata, and most people have given up. "The balance is missing," "the bridge must have died," and society edges ever nearer to new clan wars.

    Legosi has tried to stay hidden for so long, and it is killing him. Being the avatar is eating him up from the inside out, trying to break out, but all Legosi really wants to do ... is watch his classmates bending...

    Summary

    In hindsight, sending Stiles away to live with his Uncle in London, while a good idea on paper, may not have been the best decision that Sheriff Stilinski ever made.

    However, in his defense, how was he to know that his chaos-gremlin of a son would flourish and find a new calling?

    Or that it would take him into the very belly of Her Majesty's Secret Intelligence Service?

    He couldn't know. All he knew when he sent his son away, was that he came far too close to losing him. Everything that came after, was allowed - so long as Stiles survived.

    Even if it meant taking on a new name, a new territory to call his own, and a new vocation that would lead him into far more danger than he ever would've encountered in tiny little Beacon Hills.

    All the good sheriff ever asked was that his son survive.

    Thankfully, in time, he'd have some help with that. 00-help. Though whether that was a blessing or a curse, only time would tell.
