    Summary

    The Others have been defeated, and Jon Snow can finally set aside duty for the shattered remnants of his family.

    Then he wakes in the Vale as seven-year-old Jon Redfort, fifteen years before the Dance, with a twin brother who looks like Daenerys and also remembers a different life.

    (Or: A study in Daemon Targaryen becoming increasingly feral about the two bastard sons he didn’t know he had.)

    (Or: Jon has two dads, and one is his twin brother who is five years younger than him. This makes sense, I swear.)

    Summary

    "I can have many children.", her voice is hollow, distant, barely audible beneath the sound of their flesh meeting. "I can have many husbands. I can sit beside many kings and birth many princes and watch many dynasties rise and fall."

    She pauses. Her hand moves from his chest to his face—touching his jaw, his stubble, the corner of his mouth. Her eyes are red and swollen and streaming with tears that will not stop.

    "But who will grow me a new brother?"

    The question hangs in the air between them like the last breath of a pyre that has burned down to nothing but still refuses to die.
    ----

    Rhaena is the only one of Maegor's wives who has yet to conceive, and his patience is beginning to fray. But Rhaena, too, stands at her breaking point—wearied by her grief caused by her kinslaying, usurping uncle, and the countless words left unspoken between them.

    An exploration of their complex relationship and character, shaped by resentment, duty, grief, and the fragile bonds that remain.

    Robin dies.

    Tim isn’t a little kid anymore. He understands that people - most people - die rather easily, sooner or later.

    But Robin isn’t most people.

    Robin was supposed to be magic. Like Tim.

     

    Or: Tim's mother passes down more than just a sharp wit and a strong sense of independence, and the batfam are under some severe misapprehensions.
