“I’m not going to the feast.” Visenya said stoutly. Emma made an exasperated noise and threw up her hands, “Why not?” “Well why do I have to?” The younger girl retorted. “I don’t see why we came at all. The Lannisters have been very unpleasant to us, and probably only invited us toContinue reading “Baesenya Part 1.5”

Baesenya Part 1
Baelin Lannister wouldn’t say he hated his aunt Margaery, but he did find her quite tiresome sometimes, especially her most recent vendetta against House Velaryon for apparently no greater crime than marrying into some of the most prestigious families in Westeros. She’d had some particular grudge against the young princess of Dorne. It was aContinue reading “Baesenya Part 1”
Kassian Martell
The room was dead silent, and a little dark, as the only window in Nikolaus’ study was covered with a heavy curtain. This made for an intimidating effect, with the candlelight casting shadows across his chiseled face, and no one had ever thought Nikolaus needed to be made any more intimidating than he already was.Continue reading “Kassian Martell”
Swear
Sara’s throat felt like it was closing up. The young Lord Pliar Yronwood was a little less than a head taller than her, nor as bulky as Kyne or even Axton, but the sense of helplessness and fear as he pressed her up against the cart in the secluded courtyard he’d found her in wasContinue reading “Swear”
Wanted
Barlay Manwoody trudged into his study, absolutely exhausted. It had been a long day. Some days he felt both too young and too old to be Lord of House Manwoody, especially with his newborn twin sons to take care of. They had been keeping the whole house awake, especially with their sisters tormenting them. HisContinue reading “Wanted”
The Tower’s Sendoff
Amelina sat stiffly at the little wooden table that served as her meeting table, desk, and dining table. With her father sitting across from her, the room was suffocatingly silent. Even the table was feeling uncomfortable. It kept creaking just to break up the silence floating in the air. She knew, because it never creakedContinue reading “The Tower’s Sendoff”
Transforming into a Dragon
The prince came with an entourage. Once upon a time, that would’ve seemed perfectly normal to Amelina, but living on her own for five years, with only the governesses, her father, and the great wizard Egon to visit her, having people follow you around every moment of the day seemed tiresome. The tower hadn’t allowedContinue reading “Transforming into a Dragon”
Little Lemon Girl
Kovan didn’t like Dorne, he had decided. He didn’t hate it, either, but he missed home. The sun was too strong here. Still, the Water Gardens were pleasanter than he had expected, greener, and he liked that the servants’ children were allowed to play with them. It was just… a strange place with strange people,Continue reading “Little Lemon Girl”
The Eyes of a Crow
Silya was standing in the middle of the street, head tilted back, only the white of her eyes showing. People passed by her, some giving her strange looks. It was dangerous for her to be so blatantly skinchanging, but Silya had never much cared about what was dangerous or not, and besides, she got theContinue reading “The Eyes of a Crow”
One Feast
Kassius’ heart was thudding hard in his chest, dry throat and sweating palms not exactly a result of the weather. It would be the first time he was going to see his family in a year. He had spent the year sending letters back and forth with his brothers and sisters assuring them that heContinue reading “One Feast”
