    Summary

    So, because I've realized I'm bad at writing summaries so instead here is the basic premise of the story. Basically it's a toxic relationship that develops while in the background a civil war is going on. It's kinda set in a really inaccurate version of high medival france and the political component is based on the Armagnac–Burgundian Civil War if anyone knows about that. It's between a female Quasimodo and an orginal character who is a mini sociopath.

    Summary

    Caitlyn never expected what she'd find out after coming to America once she graduated from oxford. She knew she was going to visit her family for a holiday before settling down and finding a job. She didn't expect to be thrown into work once she got there, or how hard living in prohibition would be, or meeting a woman at a jazz club she'd been invited to by her boss.

    Plus, there was the fact that her parents kept a secret from her she isn't sure she was meant to unwrap. Then again she didn't know how they thought she wouldn't figure it out.

    Summary

    The Lord of Light willed it so that Stannis Baratheon may never have a male heir.

    But in two marriages -- one to his beloved from House Vaeleris, and another to a religious zealot of House Florent -- two daughters were born. Unlike a son, they would never be able to rule Dragonstone in the way the laws of men dictate.

    His eldest, Rhaena Baratheon, would need to marry and Stannis determined there were no men more honourable than those of House Stark.
