Summary
Rhaenyra Targaryen’s campaign should be a disaster. She has a weirdly close relationship with her uncle, had an affair with Harwin Strong while married to Laenor Velaryon, dates celebrities of all genders and swears on prime-time television. She goes viral on social media, comes from old money but leads a left-leaning campaign and says the truth in interviews.
This senate race should be a slam dunk. The easiest win of Alicent’s career.
Instead, she wakes up to learn Rhaenyra is beating her father’s candidate by fifteen points in the polls.
This country is fucked.

Summary
Five months later she has a sketchbook full of Anthony, 29, barrister’s hands, arms, and shoulders when Edwina calls her.
“Didi, you know Anthony, the guy I’ve been seeing? I’d really like you to meet him.”
And when she walks into the café, Kate sees a smile that really should not be as familiar as it is, directed at her sweet, innocent baby sister.
(Kate sees Anthony's bumble profile and finds it very pretentious. It does not stop her from obsessively drawing his arms though. Until he starts dating her sister.)

Summary
It was a spell that bordered on a curse, but in the proper circumstances a curse could be weaponized into something useful. My family would know that better than anyone.

Summary
Damen’s grip on his arm is painful. His face in Laurent’s is ashy and sheened with sweat.
He says, “There was something in my drink.”
(Damen is poisoned, Jokaste is framed, Laurent must find them an heir. He's put it off for so long already.)

The Adventures of Lamen (and how he learned to love Veretian sensibilities) by barbitone

Summary
Akielos and Vere are on the eve of going to war, but they make one last attempt to come to terms during a diplomatic summit at Marlas.
The two Kings are itching for a fight, but the Princes have other ideas. Laurent comes up with a plan that will bring their fathers together and avert war for good.
Damen startled, turning to look behind him at the open doors that led to the balcony. And then he startled harder when he saw Laurent with his arms folded neatly on the balustrade and his head cocked inquisitively.
“Quick,” Laurent said. “Put these on.” He tossed over a bundle of cloth and Damen caught it, dumbstruck.
“What is this?”
“What does it look like?” Laurent asked, petulantly rolling his eyes. “This is a kidnapping.”
“A- a kidnapping?” Damen asked.
“In the morning, our fathers will find that their sons have been tragically kidnapped by enemies unknown,” Laurent said, like it was the most obvious thing in the world. “They’ll have to work together to find us. By the time we return after triumphantly escaping our captors they’ll be fast friends and war will be avoided.”

"They don't want it to be real," Laurent says. He touches lightly, with his fingertips, where he's written LOVE WINS. "They want us to sell them a fantasy, and they want just enough reality that they can pretend it might happen to them, one day."

Summary
“Don’t read it,” Damen says, urgently, and he tries to pull Laurent back.
In Akielon and, oddly, Veretian, the wall of the cave says: What does your heart desire?
Laurent already has everything that his heart desires. Everything except- Auguste.

Summary
It's kind of about fake dating and it's kind of about friendship and it's mostly about casual revelations that I spent time in Los Angeles, because that's my wheelhouse. Some day there will be a Sarchengsey installment, probably.

Summary
No, she thinks, staring at the Met like it’ll change its name if she glares hard enough. But then Arianne sees Myrcella’s eyes. The joy. The best people in the business- they don’t do it for anything other than the glee that comes from winning, from fighting the entire world and coming up on top. And that glee’s written out on Myrcella’s smooth skin.
Oh, god, we’re going to go to jail, thinks Arianne, heart sinking.
[Ocean's 8 AU, where everything is complicated and everyone's tragic and the heist is the least important part of the show.]

Morgana turned away from the high, barred window and rubbed her arms, chilled and bare. Arthur was sitting in the dirty straw at the very limit of his chains, which kept him a few inches too far away to touch Merlin's limp body. Outside they were putting up the stake.
