25th Day of the 9th MoonThe Red Viper The air almost vibrated with excitement in the bustling arena, and the crowd's roar drowned everything else. It was a traditional old-style melee; everyone was on foot, with no groups or teams. The tourney grounds were filled with contestants, but the Red Viper only had eyes for the stout knight clad in heavy, ornate steel with a black manticore painted on his shield. After years of waiting, the gods finally smiled upon him, for Lorch was in the same round. It…- 671.1 K • Completed
- 22nd December 1992 (same day)Harry Potter A part of him was prepared for everything going to shit the moment he heard there was an attack on Diagon Alley, and right now, Harry really, really regretted not asking Sirius to come as an escort. He barely managed to twist around and deflect the shrapnel from the Explosive Curse, only to see Juno bear the brunt of it before immediately being knocked unconscious by a stunner. A cloaked man reeled his wand like a fishing rod, pulling Juno towards…

- 21st Day of the 9th MoonThe Hand of the King Ned did not think it possible, but the heat had gotten even more unbearable, with the city overflowing with people. It was as if the thousands of visitors brought the heat and damp humidity from their homes. Even the shade provided scarce relief, and he felt like he was swimming in his sweat. Aside from the heat, things were mostly going well. The first day of the tourney saw Gorlon Pyke clinching victory at the axe-throwing, and Rogar Wull won the…

- 5th December 1992, Saturday (1 day later)Diana Taylor The cold Scottish air tickled her nose, numbed and raw by the freezing winds. The morning runs were quite the challenge at the start, but a few months later, Diana found it easier. Had she been running alone, Diana would have given up within the week, but with Harry, Juno, and the Carrow twins, the morning runs flew by rather quickly amid the panted conversations. Getting up so early never got easier, though. At least Harry was running in front,…

- 11th Day of the 9th MoonThe Onion Knight The lord's room was as bare as before, save for the two chairs and the study desk strewn with parchment, where he conducted Shireen's lessons. "Davos," Stannis let out a feeble, raspy cough from his bed. "The lessons are taking too much from me. The poppy is wearing off again." "The air in Driftmark is easier on your lungs, according to Cressen, m'lord." "I will not die-" if the wet, sickly cough made the smuggler worry, the dark blood splattering on the…

- 7th of November, 1992SaturdayHarry He stirred awake, feeling stiff. It took him a few moments to blink away his blurry vision until he was squinting at the familiar ceiling of the Hospital Wing. How… How was he here again? The memories returned with the force of an angry hippogriff and made him cringe. Basilisk, Harrymort, and… Juno. "You're awake." Her voice shook him from his stupor. "Slept well?" She sat beside his bed on a chair, engrossed in what looked like a riveting textbook that…

- 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…

- 5th Day of the 9th Moon, 298ACThe Kingslayer Being a member of the kingsguard could be quite dull at times, following around the king while he went about his day or standing guard in front of doors, where the most exciting thing was the wall in front of you or the sounds of Robert fucking another whore. The nights on guard duty were the worst, where even staying awake was a problem. Of course, apart from the occasional moments when Cersei pulled him into her chambers for a quick tumble. But such…

- 31st October, 1992Juno She hissed the moment her fingers touched the yew wand and quickly dropped it. The pain lingered, and an angry dark splotch sat where the skin had contacted the wood. Even trying to grip it through the three-folded fabric of her sleeve sent jolts of pain, but she ignored the unpleasant feeling and started pouring her magic for a Wand-lighting Charm. The moment her magic reached the wand, Juno screamed. The wand cluttered on the floor, but her body was numb as jolts of agony…

- Year 129 After Aegon's ConquestJon Snow "A storm is brewing," Aethan muttered the next morning. Nettles glanced at the cloudless sky outside and scoffed. "How would you know, old man?" "I can feel the ache in my knees." His steward smiled ruefully. "The days are getting shorter, and fall shall soon arrive, and with it come the autumn storms from the Stepstones." As the old fisherman predicted, the weather turned stormy the next week. The warm drizzle was easy to ignore, but the winds coming…
