    Summary

    A cool distance turns into friendship and more when two children see that they can find refuge and understanding in each other. However, naïve dreams collide with the reality in which every event has consequences and what once could have been love becomes a dark, newly painful obsession. This story is an alternate version of my oneshot "Stay and love, leave and die" showing what would happen if Aemond received letters from his niece.

    don't usually like modern AUs but sweet jesus, I love this

    the dialogue feels natural and it's very easy reading and manages to capture the essence of the characters outside of the violent circumstances while exploring them in a more lighthearted way

    Summary

    In which Coriolanus Snow is handsomely rewarded for his tribute winning the Games and in turn handsomely rewards his prize, Lucy Gray, herself.


    He's gone solemn now in the afterglow, serious. He cares for his own, Snow, she sees that with his family, and now she is one of them. Not his family, but something he owns. His prize, his ward, his girl.

    Is she to be his mistress then? she thinks hazily as she slips towards sleep. Is that the future for her? To escape from the viper's den into the viper's mansion?

    She shivers and he drags her closer, one large hand tucked around her hip.

    Well, she can't escape now even if she wants to, she thinks, sinking into the softness of the plush mattress, burrowing back into the heat and warmth of her jailor.

    Summary

    “Careful, Aemond. I might think you care about me.”

    “Be certain that is not the case.” His response was quick, and though it was the expected one, she could not help the sting of something unfamiliar that arced through her. “I only caution because I know mother will question me first if you were to turn up dead in Flea Bottom.”

    “Be certain Flea Bottom is not where I plan to meet my demise.”

    (WARNING! This fic is written for the vibes and the vibes only. Everything I know comes from watching the show, so bear with me if some things are incorrect. Also, I changed the ending because I can and I wanted to.)

    Summary

    “If… you needn’t anything else, my prince,” she bowed slightly, “I will leave you to your tea.” Rosemary began to move, eager to escape. He was quiet enough, but something about him unnerved her— as if she was being taken apart in his head.

    “Wait,” his voice broke through the silence like a whip, “Come here, girl.”

    Her heart stopped in her chest— she was surely dead. She must’ve done something wrong, and he was to execute her. Rosemary was not an optimistic thinker. The maid turned towards him, head bowed.

    “Eyes up, little lamb,” he murmured, his already quiet voice rasping slightly, like flames licking at his throat. His hand, calloused and all, tucked under her chin, tipping her head up.

    --

    a new maid from the Vale arrives at the Red Keep during a tumultuous time and becomes ensnared in the One-Eyed prince's web.

    dark aemond x maid ofc.

    Summary

    Their lips slide together, then their tongues curl and she moans, a light, heady thing, come alight with the realization that she is finally, finally home. It’s tender at first, but at the sound of her moan Coriolanus grabs her chin in between his fingers and plunders her mouth harshly. As if this is a punishment.

     

    You left me, every kiss he gives her, takes from her, breathes. You left me.

     

    And Lucy Gray—

     

    Well. For her this isn’t a punishment at all.



    Or: Lucy Gray and Coriolanus can't seem to let each other go.

    Summary

    Elaynna Stark was the daughter of Rickon Stark and sister to Cregan Stark. With her mother's fighting spirit and her father's blood, she was called by some as the Wolf Maiden. After Lord Rickon's passing, his brother, Bennard Stark sends Elaynna away to Claw Isle where she is a ward to House Celtigar. Until she may return to Winterfell, Elaynna must spend half of her childhood surrounded by the hectic lifestyles of the people of the crownlands. The main highlight for her though, was witnessing the Targaryen family slowly tearing themselves apart. She would eventually form a close friendship with two Targaryen sisters and later with three Velaryon brothers.

    A few years after returning to her home in the North, Princess Rhaenyra sends a message hoping the Starks would support her claim to the Iron Throne. With this turn of events, Elaynna is reunited with a particular Velaryon dragonrider whom she shared a mutual fondness with. Once Rhaenyra takes her place on the Iron Throne as Queen and marriages are being arranged, Elaynna must let go of her past and affection she shared with Rhaenrya's son, Jacaerys Velaryon. She just prays he would do the same.

    Summary

    A year after the mysterious ending of the 75th Hunger Games and a seemingly squashed rebellion, the Capitol is eager to return back to its original programming. There is no more room for error.

    Amber Clark is resourceful, kind, family-orientated, and probably cursed. When she's chosen to represent District Seven in the 76th Hunger Games, she plans to lay low and wait out the chaos. These plans come crashing down when she meets Cassius Wilder, a disillusioned and mysterious Career tribute from District Two. Cassius's impulsive actions unintentionally place Amber directly in the center of the biggest drama in Panem. The two navigate the games alongside Cassius's childhood best friend, Elaina Bellemore, and the ever-so-charming District Four tribute, Ren Laurent. Amber, who has never been one for politics, has a lot to learn if she wants to survive.

    I've been looking for a 'tributes from different districts fall in love' and this does it so beautifully.
    The ideas are nuanced and the writing incredible, it doesn't feel like a bog standard self fulfilment fic in the way that you risk it being when it's oc/oc in an established universe.
    Words cannot describe how excited I am so see this continued and finished :)
