94.The Worth of a Man
12th Day of the 8th Moon, 300 ACSer Barristan the Bold Three days of tense anticipation as envoys went back and forth across the Blackwater Rush, yet they still couldn't decide on a neutral ground as a meeting place. A ship, a floating platform hammered in the river, and a hill halfway between the Northern encampment and Aegon's army were dismissed, leaving them with the bridge as the last reasonable option. Barristan Selmy knew the Golden Bridge intimately; he had traversed it hundreds of times; if…- 671.1 K • Completed

12.Royal Arrival
1st Day of the 5th Moon, WinterfellRobert Baratheon Finally, his royal children were presented, the introductions concluded, and condolences given. "Take me down to your crypt, Ned. I would pay my respects." "We've been riding since dawn; the children are tired and cold and can use some rest and refreshment. Surely the dead can wait?" Cersei asked neutrally, but Robert could tell she was feeling annoyed. He looked at her, then meaningfully at her brother, and thankfully the Kingslayer led her…- 671.1 K • Completed

14.Samhain
31st of October, Thursday Magic was wonderful! A whole new world filled with what felt like infinite possibilities. Yet, for all its differences, it was no different from what was called the muggle world. Hermione was friendless two months later, which wasn't particularly new. She was the top points earner in Gryffindor, but very few of her housemates were particularly interested in activities like studying! That nasty duel between Longbottom and Lestrange had been a chilling yet…- 469.5 K • Ongoing

46.Interlude-Back to School
The first months of 1993Amelia Bones "I decided to apply out of concern for the children and the school, not because I want to fight or scheme, headmaster Dumbledore," Amelia had said. "I do not want to hear of, let alone join, any borderline illegal associations. My elder brother and father did, and it only got them an early grave. Frankly, I don't trust you, especially after last year's fiasco with Petrov and Quirrell's death." The old warlock didn't seem offended; on the contrary, the twinkle in…- 469.5 K • Ongoing

21.Of Fire and Dreams
130 ACThe Riverlands If you asked Cregan Stark, he would say that the Riverlands were pleasantly warm, and even the sleet felt soft, especially the further south they went. They were approaching the Little Trident—the lesser three-pronged river that started from the western slopes of the Mountain of the Moon and merged into the Green Fork. Lord Stark looked at what seemed to be the smallest dragon he had ever seen, blocking the path of his host. This didn't mean much, considering this was the…- 185.8 K • Completed

41.Sand Castles
9th Day of the 9th MoonThe Lord of Storm's End Renly could not remember the last time Robert had called for an emergency small council meeting. It must have been a pretty dire reason if his royal brother managed to turn away his attention from his wine and whores. Surprisingly, Baelish was absent. Renly could not remember Littlefinger missing a single meeting since joining the council. A glance told him the rest of the councillors were as clueless as he was. At least his preparations for the tourney…- 671.1 K • Completed

73.Shadows
27th Day of the 6th Moon, 299 ACThe Young Wolf, south of Crakehall Rage was a curious thing. Some men said fury ran hot like a raging volcano through the veins, while others claimed it cut like the frigid chill of a blizzard in the coldest days of winter. Then, there was the Lord of Barrowton, who received word of his son's ignoble death at the hands of zealots in the North. He did not say a thing then, looking like a statue more than anything, reminding Robb of his ancestors immortalised in stone in…- 671.1 K • Completed

7.Scheming in the Night
258 AC The Young Princess Keep the weirwood close. Rhaella fiddled with her hairpin. Shaped like a dragon’s wing, it shone like polished bone under the lamplight and was warm in her fingers, but did little to ease the tightness in her chest. Ser Rolland gave her a curt nod and slid the door open. The Hand’s audience chamber was surprisingly cool. It was the most likely place her father could be found when not in court or a small council meeting. Crimson Myrish rugs lined the floor,…- 202.5 K • Ongoing

33.The Unwanted Envoy
22nd Day of the 9th Moon Sarella Sand, Sunspear Her eyes studied the painting on the wall. It depicted Nymeria, the Warrior Queen and her ancestor, clad in lobstered steel below her neck, with a bared face shining in resolve amidst a battle over a river crossing. It was a fine painting, painted by a master’s hand, with its colours so vivid it nearly looked real. Yet now, Sarella was irked by it. The canvas had done nothing wrong except to show the queen wearing too much steel. The…- 401.2 K • Ongoing

23.A Welcome Visitor
27th Day of the 5th MoonEdmure Tully, the North After the narrow causeway of the Neck, the kingsroad had dwindled to two winding dirt tracks, surrounded by endless hills and forests. "I can barely feel my arse anymore," Kirth Vance groaned. "After so much riding, it must have taken the shape of the saddle. I hope all the coin spent buying two dozen more palfreys from Lord Vypern and this mad rush is worth it." Edmure's backside and legs felt much the same, together with the rest of his weary body,…- 671.1 K • Completed
