    Summary

    She had tried, every day of her travel west- and it had been a long journey, two months on the Roseroad- to be grateful, to be happy, to find that girlish glee she had once felt at the idea of wedding Willas. She didn’t know him, but he was sure to be as handsome as his brothers, even if he was very old, four-and-twenty. He was sure to be as gentle and kind and clever as Margaery and Lady Alerie and all the others had promised her. So why didn’t she feel relieved? Why didn’t she feel satisfied?

    Because everyone I love is dead, she thought. Because I was ruined by my husband, even if he never truly touched me, and before him, Joffrey. The Lannisters had tainted her. When Willas saw the scars on her back from the Kingsguard’s beatings, when he realized she’d been in bed with a man before, even a man who hadn’t taken her maidenhead- he would be disgusted.

    Summary

    "I am the queen of spades, I am the wasp that stings, I am the dark serpent. I am the invulnerable animal who passes through fire and is not burned." - Elena Ferrante, The Days of Abandonment

    Rhaella thinks perhaps the gods, any gods, have heard her prayers, when Aerys vomits up blood in bed. (Aerys dies before the 'trial' of Rickard and Brandon Stark can commence. In King's Landing, Rhaella at last finds her footing. On Dragonstone, Elia makes her preparations. And in the Tower of Joy, Lyanna comes to a series of cold realizations).

    Summary

    The solemn girl he met the day before their wedding didn't match up with the stories he'd heard of the she-wolf of Winterfell. His little wife's wild looks seemed somewhat strange when paired with her subdued personality. She spoke clearly but quietly, and though she repeated her courtesies, if a little coldly, she did not smile, nor did those words sound natural from her mouth. She was her brother Ned in every respect, solemn, serious and reserved. And it didn't suit her one bit.

    "Just count yourself lucky I won't put up the same fight for you I did for him," She tossed her hair slightly, dark curls dancing in the warm candlelight, an old, proud defiance that was clearly familiar to her returning. It suited her better than the dead shell she had been up until this point. Jaime said nothing. He didn't doubt for a moment that this woman had put up a hell of a fight.

    Summary

    Regulus has always known he's destined to drown. He feels it deep in his chest, past his rib cage, nestled somewhere behind his organs. He feels it in his arm when his mother squeezes it a little harder than a mother should. He felt it, the water rising in his throat, when his brother slipped out the window and into the night. He often wonders if it'd be easier to just let himself sink.

    He often wonders if he has a choice.

    Regulus gets sent back to school with a mission from the Dark Lord himself— find the “beast in the chamber” and claim its fangs without killing it. But when a certain curly-haired bespectacled boy asks for a rather large favor, everything suddenly gets a lot more complicated.
