Summary
The lift jolted to a stop. Every button on the panel blinked red. Galadriel clutched her bag. This is it, she thought. Melkor keeps a serial killer in his building, and I’m the next victim.
Footsteps. Then the doors slid open…. —
Work, a stuck lift, a fake kidnapping, and Halbrand cooking her favourite steak. Galadriel swears she’s not amused—her blush says otherwise.

Summary
Rhaenyra Targaryen was the first child born after the death of Balerion the Black Dread, more dragon than girl in truth. Dragons, by nature, are possessive, protective creatures, and Rhaenyra knows that the Realm will not accept her simply because her father declared it to be, and she will not allow her children, even the ones not of her womb, to be harmed.
Her father delights in it. The Realm whisper about her kindness. Otto is his normal self. Gwayne's just along for the ride. Laenor is having a grand old time. Daemon, eventually, despairs because there are so many children. In the end, they'll all be grateful for it, because no brother, no son, would dare steal from the woman who raised him.

Summary
She followed his lead, got to her knees and lit a candle. Ran her fingers through the flame and let her shoulders slump.
She turned to him, mouth flat. “What will you pray for?”
He looked at her, hair darker than the flame, the bump of his nose small. He said nothing, but he never looked away. It was enough.
✹
The hate gets suffocating after a time, threatens to choke her between the silks of her bed and let the meat from her bones rot until she is unrecognizable. Hating the Queen has made Rhaenyra into a different person, more dragon than girl, her skin turning from satin to scales. Hating her half-brother has made her into a tyrant, willing to kill a babe if it meant the threat of disinheritance would disappear.
But hating the Queen’s brother, it has made her so much worse.

Galadriel Noldor moves back to Lindon, Texas after 10 years in Doriath, Virginia, where her marriage to Celeborn Wise fell apart. She gets a job at The Raft as a barista and meets a bartender called Halbrand Maia, who's on the run from his own demons back in Australia.
Starting over is never easy, but if Galadriel and Halbrand can open their hearts, they just might find exactly what they've always been looking for.
