Summary
Au jus (adj.) – To serve with its own juices from cooking, often referring to steak or other meat.
Add one table spoon of a comatose Hemlock Potter, the zest of a struggling Will Graham unsure of his fluctuating identity, and a heavy sprinkling of a Hannibal Lecter being Hannibal Lecter, simmer over a low boiling heat of cannibalistic murder sprees, FBI investigations, and the outdated societal standards of Alphas and Omegas, and you have got yourself one hell of a descent into madness and extravagance that rivals the fall of Rome. Chef’s recommendation is to serve over a bed of morgue ice. Bon Appétit.
OR: After Omega Hemlock Potter’s last run in with Tom Riddle left her battling for her life in intensive care in need of a blood transfusion from a close relative, Will Graham discovers he has a sister on the wrong side of the Atlantic ocean. This is possibly the best (worst) thing that has ever happened in the history of man.

She had no one but her dear friend Syrax. She was not yet Rhaenyra the Cruel, as history would remember her. She was just a scared girl, fighting for her place in the world.

Rhaenyra was their champion. The Queen of Dragons. Enraged, they decided to act against the other deities involved.
Or
After their deaths, both Baelor and Maekar are sent back in time, into an age where dragons still roamed the skies, and meet a young Rhaenyra Targaryen on the brink of collapsing. How far will they go to ensure prosperity for their house?

Summary
A voice, calm and ancient.
“There is a sliver there that is not yours, little one. It has clung to you all this time, but it cannot stay.”
And a child’s soft question.
“It was there even in the cupboard? Even when they hurt me?”
The answer, grave as the grave itself.
“Yes. You were not alone. The soul shard was with you in silence.”
The shade shrieked, clutching its form with invisible claws.
“WHO—WHO SPEAKS IN MY MIND? Silence! Mine! Mine! You belong to me!”
But the voices ignored him.
“Then I don’t want to cast it away,” said the child. “If it was with me, then I wasn’t alone. I don’t want to be alone ever again.”
A silence, heavy as eternity. Then laughter—not cruel, but amused.
“You could take it into yourself. Consume it. Make it part of you forever.”
“Yes. I want that.”
Something inside the shade broke. And then - something inside him mended.
