18th Day of the 11th MoonGarlan Tyrell, Bitterbridge Two ravens had arrived with them in the Caswell seat - a white one from the Citadel announcing the arrival of autumn and a black one from King's Landing, carrying black words with it. For a day, Renly looked as smug as a cat that had just caught a songbird when the raven of Joffrey's wedding to Myrielle Lannister arrived. "Of course, we cannot let such an injustice stand," his father declared righteously when Renly presented the book of the…- 671.1 K • Completed
- 16th Day of the 11th MoonThe Spider On days like this, Varys could not help but marvel at the whim of the gods. A furious storm had raged through the narrow sea for days, and many ships were sunk. Better yet, the direwolf and mermen sails had not been seen arriving anywhere from Gulltown to the Pebbles. It seemed like wolves made for poor swimmers. The Spider cared little about godly matters, but was this what it meant to have divine favour? A king's death was a heavy blow, and someone had to take…

- 1st of June 1992, Monday His nightmares continued. Once or twice a week, Harry would awaken in a cold sweat. Compared to his previous life, the dreams were painless and foggy, and he couldn't remember anything. Except for a pair of malevolent red eyes. Alas, asking Hermione or Dumbledore for help and advice was no longer an option. After consulting with Madam Pomfrey and sifting through the library, he concluded it was just regular nightmares. Even his attempts to clear his mind before sleep with…

- 1st Day of the 13th MoonJaime Lannister, King's Landing Mustering the Crownlands had turned out far harder than Jaime had expected. He had to visit many lords in person, and even then, most were not eager for war and only gathered the bare minimum of knights and men at arms. The Clawmen had yet to answer any ravens, and half of the envoys sent to them had yet to return. Yet even this couldn't take his mind off his woes. The things he did for love… His father had disowned him—not publicly,…

- 1st of November, Friday Harry awoke with a groan and immediately regretted it. It felt like he had wrestled a dozen rounds with a mountain troll before being chewed out by a dragon. Half his body ached as if he had overtrained himself, and the other half was just numb, but the feeling of bone-deep wariness was weighing on him like iron shackles. Even his eyelids felt like lead, and after a short struggle, Harry finally opened his eyes, only to be met with a familiar ceiling - lacquered rafters of…

- 4th Day of the 9th MoonEddard Stark Doing half an hour of meditation just before daybreak for nearly a moon had started showing surprising results. Ned felt his mind become clearer every following day as if a thin fog he had never noticed existed was gone. Even his patience and focus had improved, and he felt calmer despite the turbulent situation in King's Landing. Mastering his ability to warg proved far harder, however. There was this vague thing in the back of his mind, an odd feeling at the…

- 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…

- 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…

- 6th Day of the 6th MoonJon Snow A sigh tore from his mouth as he stared at the varnished ebony poles that held the tent's ceiling. His sire's luxurious tent, then his father's and now his. The smell of last night's coupling still lingered in the air. Albeit somewhat awkward at the start, Val had been as wild as a shadowcat, and his back still ached from where her nails had dug into his flesh, but it wasn't painful enough to bother him. This was the second time he was 'stolen'. Truthfully, Val…

- 3rd Day of the 11th MoonSansa Stark In barely half a year, so many things had changed. Knights and princes and kings had somehow… lost their lustre. The blatant disrespect Robert Baratheon showed towards his wife was… unexpectedly jarring. The king's wishes were law, and Sansa didn't think of it then, but now she had time to reflect. Being neither a queen nor wed to a prince or a gallant knight looked as appealing anymore. Sansa couldn't help but notice that Myrcella had not mentioned her mother…
