    Summary

    You are out of place and out of your element. You are sent to tend to your grandmother until the changing of the guards—just until your parents arrive. Until then, you endure the ancient cold, the dead air, the suffocating stillness of Germany. There's no Wi-Fi, no television and you hardly speak the language.

    But the forest whispers. The floorboards creak. And it's so dark and cold. And you are so, so, so tired. And you don't know why. You're so tired you can't explain why things go missing. Why the window opens itself at night. Why you keep seeing a towering shadow through a sleep-filled haze at night. Why you sometimes feel the mattress shift beneath your body, but you can't find enough strength to wake.

    And when Kortac Forces flood the town, Oma stops letting you out. She nails your window shut and writes to your parents immediately to come. Her voice trembles when they come to the door, and she tells you not to make a sound. To hide. To be still.

    But it's too late.

    Because he is already watching you.

    And hunting you.

    And you are running out of places to hide.

    Summary

    you join task force 141 under mysterious circumstances with no intention to make them any less mysterious. you're there to work, not to make friends, not to play nice, and certainly not to get involved with anyone's life but yours.

    well, too bad for you.

    ---

    you are a disgraced biological engineer who was, until recently, employed under the united states military. your rank and privileges have been stripped for reasons you either can't or won't disclose, but after a year of dormancy, it's time for you to step into the light: the light of impending doom.

    somewhat canon-compliant, some story elements are preserved. there will be some sci-fi elements to this story as well.

    Summary

    You're pretty sure that the couple next door is keeping someone locked in their basement, but that's Johnny and Simon's business, not yours. You refuse to acknowledge both your suspicions and your growing attraction to them. Unfortunately, your neighbors find it highly entertaining to invite you over to watch you pretend like nothing's wrong.

    Summary

    She was born of two Targaryens , her father a king, her mother a princess who had been a queen in all but name, locked away by a holy man who feared what she carried in her blood. She inherited their silver hair, their violet eyes, their particular talent for surviving things that should have broken them.

    He was born fourth. Overlooked. Too much of everything the court didn't want and not enough of anything it did.

    They legitimised her with a dying king's breath and a name that tasted like iron. She took it. She wore it. She learned to carry it quietly, the way you carried things too heavy to put down.

    The Red Keep held them both, corridors and banquets and tournaments and gardens at night. A thing that had no name because neither of them would give it one.

    The world was already fracturing. She felt it sometimes, in the way her brother laughed too easily at things that weren't funny. He felt it in the way the court watched Daemon and smiled too carefully.

    Neither of them said it out loud.

    Some silences are louder than anything. Some losses happen before the dying. Some things end before the war.

    This is one of them.

    Summary

    A second marriage is not always a second chance.

    For Alerie Redwyne, it is duty dressed in silk. For Prince Maekar Targaryen, it is another burden laid upon old grief. Neither comes to the marriage willingly, and neither expects comfort from the other.

    But the dead do not loosen their hold easily, and the living are not always wise enough to keep their distance.
