  1. Summary

    A canon divergent AU where Hazel kidnaps both Klaus and Vanya after the fight at the Academy. Featuring torture, sibling bonding, time travel, and love in wartime; this is my self indulgent angst with a happy ending because I like to suffer but don't crush my soul you know?

  3. Summary

    Mark is back on Earth and ready to have drinks with the people who helped save his sorry ass. Told in no particular order and filled with head canons about minor and major characters alike, these are my self-indulgent "missing scences" from both the book and the movie.

    Summary

    Maester Aemon still has his sight when Jon Snow arrives at Castle Black to swear his vows. Targaryen’s might have typically had pale hair and purple eyes, but Maester Aemon would recognise his family anywhere.

    His vows have been tested three times before. This is his fourth and final test and, after nearly eighty years of being a bystander at the Wall whilst his family destroyed themselves, Aemon decides that enough is enough. He’s been a man of the Nights Watch for most of his life; but he’s been a Targaryen all his life.

    He might be old and trapped at the Wall, but he grew up in Kings Landing and no one knows the Game of Thrones like he does.

    And so, everything changes.

    Summary

    "Each of us when separated, having one side only, is but the indenture of a person, and we are always looking for our other half. Those whose original nature lies with the children of the Sun are men who are drawn to other men, those from the children of the Earth are women who love other women, and those from the children of the Moon are men and women drawn to one another. And when one of us meets our other half, we are lost in an amazement of love and friendship and intimacy, and would not be out of the other’s sight even for a moment. We pass our whole lives together, desiring that we should be melted into one, to spend our lives as one person instead of two, and so that after our death there will be one departed soul instead of two; this is the very expression of our ancient need. And the reason is that human nature was originally one and we were a whole, and the desire and pursuit of the whole is called Love." --Plato, from Aristophanes' speech in The Symposium.

    An Eagle soulmate AU.

    Summary

    “I notice everything about you.” He says it so easily, a statement handed to her with no sharp edges or hidden thorns, and it makes something twist in Maddie’s chest. “You’re Maddie Nears.”

    “Ok well, you don’t have to say my name like that.” It’s the same way she said his name that first day they met. The twisting is still there, but it’s thankfully dampened by amusement. By the little smile Wally is giving her. “I’m not a Claire Zomer or a Wally Clark. I’m kind of a nobody.”

    Wally shrugs again, pressing his knuckles into her knee before settling even further into the couch. “Hey, I always thought you were a pretty cool nobody.”
