    Summary

    the one time in actual ages that alicent hightower indulges herself in a one-night stand ends up being with a woman who shows up at the other side of the table as opposing counsel in the biggest case of her career.

    the universe has a fucking terrible sense of humour.

    Summary

    After centuries of turmoil, Humanity has expanded to the stars, just as the Incubators promised. The half-AI Government of Earth is determined to turn the planet into its vision of utopia, but the shadows of utopia hide many secrets. When an alien threat the Incubators failed to mention threatens the peace, one of those secrets steps out into the light.

    In the midst of it all, an ordinary girl looks to the sky, wondering at her place in the universe.

    The most intricate world building I have ever seen, in both fanfiction and published work.
    This is a treasure for people who have a taste for hard sci-fi.

    Summary

    Josie laughs in a short, sad kind of way. “In all the ways I might tick a box of his, you completely overwhelm it. He’d have been filled with joy just at the idea of you loving him. I will never have that effect.”

    Hope shakes her head. “Well I don’t understand that.” Their bodies are pressed close in the cold, noses almost brushing. “Because everything about you is overwhelming.”

    / /

    Hope is desperate to regain Josie's trust after she and Landon collectively break her heart. But things become complicated as the three navigate their feelings under the growing threats within the school.

    A brilliant story that doesn’t fall into the usual traps of this fandom (excessive Landon bashing).
    The world building and character development are top notch and I can’t wait for a new chapter to come out every time.

    As a side note, I wish the character development in the show was half as good...
