    Summary

    The Kingsguard at the Tower of Joy escape to Essos with Jon and a living Lyanna. Robert sends Ned to search for them, and Ned secures Howland Reed's assistance. It's a far-fetched plan to begin with, but matters don't improve when Robert decides Jaime Lannister should accompany them.

    Or, Ned and Jaime learn to see each other as people. Howland Reed mediates. And all three learn to play cyvasse.

    Summary

    Ned returns from the Tower of Joy with not only Lyanna, but the knights who'd been guarding her.

    Jaime has a more complicated time navigating his fall from honor with so many knights he'd once admired still around. Especially Ser Arthur, whose presence proves particularly tricky to deal with.

    Summary

    Sanji chokes on his cigarette. “You’re saying I’m allergic to what?”

    “Semen,” Chopper says in the same tone of voice he’d use to describe today’s laundry list as if Sanji’s entire existence isn’t crashing down right in front of his eyes. “Zoro’s semen, to be precise.”

    Summary

    If the star crossed lovers from district 12 never went into the games, if they were never pitted against each other, doomed to fight and kill each other, if their stars weren’t crossed at all, what would have happened anyway?

    Keeping Katniss's family fed without tesserae is not easy and Peeta's parents are pushing him to marry a merchant girl as soon as possible. The best way to escape starvation and a prison of a marriage is to marry each other, but that would require Katniss to let go of a promise she made to herself a long time ago, to never marry anyone.

    Summary

    "First," said Gale. "Do not kill any thinking creatures in Waterdeep unless you must to protect yourself or you have my express permission."

    As Gale spoke, he could feel the weight of his words sinking into the person sitting across from him. It was like casting a spell, but took no effort. Astarion had been staring hollowly into his goblet of blood, but at this he made a faintly interested noise. As if the rule were novel and he was considering the shape of it.

    "Second, you will obey me in all things," said Gale. There didn't feel like there was any honest way of softening that. Astarion didn't make any sound at all.

    "Third, do not leave the tower without permission." Astarion made another speculative noise, considering this one too. But then his shoulders hunched and his eyes skittered down, as if he didn't want to look at what was about to happen.

    "Fourth," Gale said, and paused. He started with some context: "There is a tressym upstairs."

    Astarion's head twitched. He looked up at Gale, blinking, startled. He had the air of someone who had been bracing for a blow and instead had just been handed a balloon animal.

    "A what?" he asked.
