    Summary


    He is a practical man. She wonders if time has made him so, or if he was always like this. She would not have noticed—not in the long ago when they were young. He was a shadow at the door in those days.

    A ghost at the feast.

    Summary


    It happened once, that first summer, all haze and oil-grease and an air to him that’s never let her forget about it.

    Summary

    Thirty million dollars for a secret. That's the payout for Kaz Brekker, the most dangerous, ruthless, and talented extractor in the dream industry — if he can manage it.

    But to have a chance, he needs the best. That means finding a team willing to attempt the impossible: a knife-wielding cat burglar, a college dropout with perfect aim, a sullen ex-Navy SEAL, a drop-dead gorgeous former Soviet spy, and the estranged son of their rich employer.

    If they can avoid killing each other, they'll go down in history. If they can't, none of them may wake up again.

    Summary

    The moment her eyes alighted on Jon's he broke from his restraint. Stampeded down the stairs and vaulted straight for her. Composure corrupted. Propriety be damned.

    It was sweet, in fact, to see him again.

    (AKA season 6 done my way)

    Summary

    Seeing the only family Sansa Stark had left to her was the only motivation keeping her astride the horse. Jon Snow is at Castle Black. He’ll protect you. It had been so long since she felt safe, felt protected. She yearned for the security of familiar arms and someone who cared for her because she was Sansa and not a Stark. The nerves she may have felt over arriving at Castle Black alone to see the half-brother she had not seen—had barely thought of—in years did not consume her, nor did she allow herself to feel disappointment that it was not Robb or a trueborn brother to save her.

    Only, upon her arrival, she is told of the mutiny. Then she is asked an impossible question: What would she give to have him back?

    Lyric title prompt on Tumblr from the song "You" by The Pretty Reckless.
