    Summary

    I must not tell lies. I must not tell lies. I must not tell lies–

    Carved on a hand with blood, Harry accidentally and unknowingly creates a binding magical contract– one that prevents him from telling a lie.

    Can Harry use this curse to his advantage? Or will it reveal everything he holds secret? Will the world believe him about Voldemort’s return, or will they brush off his warnings as the ravings of an attention seeking liar? And why is Snape butting his nose into Harry’s memories?

    Summary

    There are older magics beneath the skin of the world.

    Ancient things. Hungry things. Things that do not care for wand laws or Ministry decrees.

    Harry Potter opens a book and lets them in.

    Hogwarts notices the difference immediately. Gryffindor House closes to him. Slytherin House opens its doors. Old families begin to take notice. And as Harry is drawn deeper into blood magic, ancient ritual, and the politics of inheritance, he discovers that some forms of magic do not merely change what you can do.

    They change what you are.

    Summary

    “Excuse me,” Tywin Lannister grits through his teeth, “my son is doing what?”

    Stannis tries to not sigh loudly. It would not do in front of the Hand of the King.

    “You have the raven, my lord. He says he wishes to resign from the Kingsguard as he has not been here for a full year and does not plan to come back, and that he’s perfectly happy roaming the Stormlands and the Trident along with the last Evenstar.”

    “The last Evenstar.”

    “Yes.”

    “The abomination.”

    Stannis shrugs. “Technically she is one, but I can assure my lord Hand that she is actually quite competent to discuss with.” He’d know. She had better ideas for actually helping the commoners than most of his advisors. He wishes he could make her one.

    “Competent. She’s an abomination.”

    “She’s a useful one,” he shrugs. “Also, your son does not seem to agree.”

     

     
    Or: in which Jaime goes to Tarth to slay a supposed monster terrorizing the Stormlands to do something honorable with his life.

    It doesn't go like that at all.

    Summary

    “I wouldn’t be asking this if I wasn’t in my cups.”

    “I don’t think it’s something I’d have a reason to tell someone else.”

    “Of course that’s - never mind.” He doesn’t look at Varys as he speaks, rather just stares into the goblet, and then. “Does it ever get better?”

    “... What exactly?”

    “You know what I’m talking about, Lord Varys. Our not so little common problem, so to speak.”

    “Oh, that.” Varys had known, sure, but - well. “I mean, you can start by calling it the way it is.”
