    Summary

    Jon is their catspaw because above all things he is an honorable man.

    And in his entire life, he has never wanted to be anything other than that damnable virtue as much as he wants it now.

    When Jon Snow enters the throne room, the ruins of King's Landing still smoke on the pyre of conquest and destruction. When he confronts Daenerys Targaryen beneath the suffocating shadow of the Iron Throne, the slaughtered corpses of men, women, and children still soundlessly howl in terror and agony. This is the price of the dragon queen's crown and he has followed her now to be judge, jury, and executioner, to end the nightmare, to end the madness, once and for all.

    But for players of a different game, a loss is nothing but victory postponed—and there is always one more play, one more chance, to turn a war in their favor.

    Or: Jon doesn't kill Daenerys and everything they know about the Long Night changes. [COMPLETE]

    Summary

    He knows one thing: he was dead, and now he is not. The girl with dragonfire in her veins and starlight in her hair tells him that to be alive is a miraculous thing. She whispers to him in the night, with fury and flame on her tongue and a dynasty cradled in her arms, that life itself, as it exists in them, will cause the world to shudder and bow before them.

    (To be honest, he thinks that death is afraid of both of them.)

    (But when she kisses him, he also thinks that she might be right.)

    Jon Snow complicates reality. Daenerys Targaryen simplifies it.

    Summary

    It is no wonder, the smallfolk will murmur later, that when the King of Winter met the Mother of Dragons, the world spun itself into a cataclysmic revolution of night and summer and every wonderful, terrible thing beneath the white, dispassionate sun.

    (But if one might ask the queen, the Targaryen witch whose reign is built on fire and shackles of ice, she’ll only shake her head. “You tell yourselves stories,” she chides—but there is a warning here: her husband is the wolf and she herself is the three-headed dragon and some stories must bear the weight of the truth.)

    The dragon and the wolf sit on thrones made of iron and conquest. But every dream of spring is built on the ashes of winter, every reign made of duty has its secrets, and a fledgling love can be just as potent as lust.

    Summary

    His eyes follow the length of Wei Wuxian’s body, all the way down to his toes and back up to his eyes again. Wei Wuxian thought that only happened to maidens seconds from being ravished and forced to present in those lascivious novels Nie Huaisang’s been passing around. Or maybe he’s unfamiliar because he’s not a buxom maiden?

    “Wei Ying is sure he will put them on their back.”

    Wei Wuxian tilts his head, grinning. “Yeah. Aren’t you?”

    Lan Zhan just looks at him.

    Summary

    “Yiling Patriarch,” he begins, and Wei Wuxian’s face clouds.

    “Please. That’s not – you know me, Zewu-jun. What’s wrong? Why are you here?” He walks over and Lan Xichen sees he has no weapon, not even his flute. He came to meet Wangji unarmed, defenseless. With a smile on his face.

    “I’m here to ask for your help. It’s Wangji. He’s ill.”
