Summary
"Try not to overwhelm the boy," Maekar bites on his way out. "If you pull the benevolent prince act on him after you nearly died serving his side in the trial, he may actually drop dead."
"Perish the thought," Baelor manages, "he is the kind of knight this realm needs more sorely than anything."

Summary
In his most expansive and heady dreams, his hands would craft metal and earth into brilliance - transmuting elements and mundane objects into works of unspeakable wonder. Instead, John Segundus' life as a practical magician looks something like this: waking up, getting washed, engaging in rigorous physical exercise in the wide expanse of grey moors, reading in his threadbare library, eating, and then going to sleep. It would have continued like this, he regrets, unless his opponent-turned-ally had not appeared, heralding a new era of magic: magical curriculae, muddling with Fair Folk, and reading blue-scrawls on pale skin that refuses to sit still.
John Segundus, to his dismay, is still someone who longs for the extraordinary, and to his chagrin and eternal embarrassment - somehow, John Childermass is present in every instance - the very hands that bring him deliverance.
Or: What Came After. The labor of standing up a school of magic as Segundus learns it himself - and the labor of learning to make Childermass bear his presence with less glowering (both of which, he may find, are more within reach than he thinks!)

Summary
Lan Xichen watches plumes of blood spit and jet from the jagged wound lining Wanyin’s shoulder. Wanyin’s hair is loose, long streams of black silk pushed away from his forehead to ripple down his back.
“What is it, Zewu Jun? Don’t tell me the First Jade is squeamish at the sight of a little blood?”

Summary
Hong Jooran thinks she knows what acting is like - stable exploration of characters under confines and limits she understands. That’s what it is like with Youngseo, anyways, sterile and sharp and essential. But Yoon Jeongnyeon? She should have known Jeongnyeon would leave no stone unturned to shatter her preconceptions.
Heo Youngseo has fought her way up to the top. She knows what it means to pour everything into her craft. But she has underestimated Yoon Jeongnyeon's limits, and Jeongnyeon seems determined to blow away her own boundaries in her pursuit of growth. And Youngseo aches with the aftermath of this rivalry - nothing will ever be the same after. She will always be the Youngseo before, and the Youngseo after she met Yoon Jeongnyeon.
***
Character studies following rough episode plot-lines.

Summary
Horses nicker and shift in their muzzy slumber, and the soft snoring of the minuscule, tan-coated puppies and dog form a susurrus of animal heat - natural, barely perceptible. Chivalry smells the dull grassy sting of old strewn hay, the warmth of fresh milk, the inexplicable smell of young children - the heat of their small frames, the buttery scent of new skin. He wants to vomit, he thinks with some alarm, or maybe faint and sleep for a thousand years. He wants to hold his boy in his own hands. He wants to hand him over to Patience, watch her eyes soften into crescent moons, her dark smooth locks splaying over the boy's bouncing ringlets.
***
A study of Chivalry Farseer's first encounter of Fitz, through Verity and the Skill-sight. Blood of his blood - the quietness before they were apart.

Summary
“I suspect,” snapped Gandalf, “that your ‘lucky ring’ was in fact a dwarven ring of power, one of seven which have been lost, and which you somehow stumbled upon in Moria. Now you have destroyed both it and the dragon in one fell swoop! And that’s all well and good for Thorin Oakenshield and his Company. But an act of destruction like that means the Lord of Darkness who willed that ring into being will have noticed, and like as not, he’s amassing his army as we speak. All of Gondor may have fallen before I’ve so much as caught sight of Osgiliath!”
“…I didn’t mean any harm,” said Bilbo. He managed to sound both mulish and heartbroken in the same breath.
--
Or: Bilbo destroys the One Ring. It solves fewer problems than you’d think.

Summary
When Auror Potter is anonymously cursed with silence by being forced to hide his own voice inside his mind, there's unfortunately only one person in the country with the qualifications to fix it: Certified and Licensed Healer Legilimens, Draco Malfoy, specialist in Mind Curses and Afflictions. It's obviously a terrible idea, a disaster waiting to happen, but Draco's never been able to back down from a challenge... especially from Potter.
Features fuzzy cartoon slippers, devious house elves, 90s music, and lots—LOTS—of memories. Ron is annoyingly hot, Hermione sees right through you, Harry is a powerful idiot, and Draco is a reclusive masochist that would buy an entire city if it would make a kid happy. (And Pansy is "5'2, I wanna dance with you, and I'm sophisticated fun.")
