    Summary

    This story began with two questions.
    Why was Alicent Hightower never quite bold enough to refuse her marriage to Viserys and stand against her father?
    And why was Daemon Targaryen never quite clever enough to expose Otto Hightower's schemes before it was too late?
    But what if they had been?
    What if Alicent chose differently?
    What if Daemon acted sooner?
    What if House Hightower and House Targaryen were bound together long before the Dance?
    After all, when fire joins with the wind, it does not burn less fiercely.
    It spreads.

    Summary

    Lin just wanted a few minutes of peace away from the noise, the people… and everything that always suffocated her at parties like that one.
    But the spirits clearly have other plans for her.
    What begins as a quiet and unassuming conversation quickly turns into something more intense.
    And when the line between past and present finally breaks, the two end up going too far.
    Because some things don't simply disappear.

    ......................

    This came from a request on Tumblr
    What if Pema caught Tenzin and Lin in a compromising situation?

    Summary

    “Go on,” Zhenya says, quieter now.

    Alina swallows.

    “I hated how hurting you is the one thing everyone remembers about the best day of my life.” Her bottom lip trembles. And then, softer, “I hated that I could keep the medal but not you.”

    And for one, long moment, Zhenya says nothing.

    Her thumbs stay pressed to Alina’s cheeks, warm, constant. But her expression has gone strange—blank, almost. Not empty, Alina quietly realizes, but overwhelmed—struck by a blade too sharp, too clean, for her to decide whether it should hurt.
