    Summary

    What if Ned wasn't beheaded in King's Landing and Catelyn didn't die at the Red Wedding? Just over two years ago I asked myself those questions, and with the encouragement of some wonderful people I started this story.

    This story takes place entirely in the canon universe, diverging from GRRM's epic at two points--Ned's execution and Catelyn's murder at the Twins--and examines all the ways that the survival of these two people might have changed events both large and small in the world of Westeros. The ripples have far reaching consequences for many throughout the Seven Kingdoms, but at its heart, this is a story of two people, their marriage, their family, and the North.

    Summary

    Satoru Gojo had been killed more than once in his short life... but his death at the age of twenty-nine was widely considered to be the most permanent one yet.

     

    Over a year has passed since the fight against Sukuna and Gojo has returned, but at a great personal cost. Without his techniques and even fewer allies, Gojo struggles to understand what's left when he's no longer the most powerful sorcerer of the age.

    Utahime Iori fell for Gojo once before and she already learned her lesson, but circumstances have pushed her back into the path of the man she's tried hard to forget, challenging her resolve and awakening old feelings she vowed to extinguish.

    What does it mean to be strong? To be vulnerable? And if forced to choose between love and power, what will win out?

    Summary

    THE STORY IS ON A SEASON BREAK NOW. I WILL RETURN FOR THE SECOND SEASON.
    FOR MORE INFO, PLEASE CHECK THE LAST CHAPTER.

    Princess Irulan comes to the planet Arrakis to wed one kind of a monster or another, bringing a wedding gown, a chainmail dress, and a Golden Crown with herself. For a beginning is the time for taking the most delicate care that the balances are correct. This, every sister of the Bene Gesserit knows.

    ---
    “Then I reckon we’ve just discovered both our levers. You’re too honorable. I’m too prideful. If we were not indifferent to each other but had been Kanlys we would have been easily plotting each other’s early demise. But look at us instead. Dancing in our mutual indifference, rather than trying to kill each other.”

    “My Mother also told me you are very eloquent,” he replied. “She did not exaggerate. You have a way with words, Princess.”

    “Why do you call me Princess?” she shot back. “I’m your Empress now.” She paused and smiled sardonically. “In name only.”

    Summary

    "Will you keep your fancy clothes on, for me? / Can you bear a little longer to wear that leash? / My love, I swear by the air I breathe: / Sooner or later, you'll bare your teeth." - Joanna Newsom, "Monkey & Bear".

    He does not have to question if she recognizes him or not. For a few moments he thinks she is debating turning on her heel and fleeing into the crowd. Then he watches her face transform from an uncertain young woman of twenty four, to something resembling the tenacious, take-no-prisoners ambulance driver who saved his life. She squares her shoulders, marches forward, suitcase in hand. Crams her hat under her armpit to free a hand to outstretch to him.

    “Mr. Shelby,” she says. Her gloves, he notes, are brand new, possibly the most expensive item on her, which isn’t saying much. Spotless white. His hands are clean, but he can’t help but feel he’s marring them all the same. “Thank you for the tickets. And the letter.”

    “Mrs. Shelby,” he says, which a better-humored man might have managed to make sound like a playful joke. At best, it sounds like a judge pronouncing a prison sentence. A life term.
