Summary
Ariadne’s mother used to say that your twenties are a time for obsession; that the crucible of early adulthood makes friendships more intense than any love affair. She’s fairly sure her mother didn’t mean international jet-setting criminals, but she thinks she might be a bit in love with Arthur and Eames anyway.

Summary
Things were more than a little blurry around the edges. Blackbeard had started drinking approximately a year ago and never really stopped. Oh, he was still alert, alright, but he might not have noticed Stede Bonnet walk through the door immediately if Izzy hadn’t made a noise next to him that was half wounded cat and half apocalyptic rage.
—
Or: after a year of successfully avoiding Stede Bonnet, Izzy is forced to watch Blackbeard put a knife to his throat.

Summary
A woman can never be madam of the house she grew up in. That was what Elwyn used to say, the woman who’d raised Gwin and Arthur from street-rats to almost-functional grown-ups. You must always move on, or you’ll bring wrack and ruin.

Summary
She catches his blade on her shield, and sparks fly. Under his helmet she can see his snarl, somehow familiar and unfamiliar all at once. She finds herself gasping, like a fucking child, "you tried to kill me!"
"No more than you would've done for me, baby."
——
Or: the tale of Princess Andromeda, in three acts.

Summary
“I can’t get the measure of you,” he says.
It’s such an English idiom. John’s breathing stutters briefly to a halt. “What do you mean?” he asks, his tone unserious, except he knows what he means; he’s heard it so often. Who are you, Jonathan? Who have you been? Mischief maker, soldier, medic, brother, lover, treasure hunter. Thief, school boy, almost-priest. John doesn’t have the measure of himself.
[snapshots of a relationship you wouldn't tell your children about]

Summary
"I dance in dangerous fables, walk a woods with trees white as bone. It's always winter and I'm always pressing my face against something warm with blood." - Yasmin Belkhyr, 'Blizzard'.
“Men die,” Barbrey tells her, bone-white with anger, eyes flashing. “Men die, Donella. Should Stark’s boy not sire a son on you, and if the Bastard has the Dreadfort-,”
“You speak as if Robb Stark were in fragile health,” Nell rolls her eyes. “You’re being paranoid.”
“Willam was in excellent health until he rode off to his death at Ned Stark’s side,” Barbrey hisses. “Do you think he did not promise me we would have children and a long life together before he left? Do you think he did not promise to come back to me? You cannot know what the future might bring. My lord husband survived a war only to die in Dorne. Men and their promises are not your safety nor your refuge. Land is. Power is. Never forget that.”
(In which Nell Bolton contends with both her mother's bloodstained legacy and her father's bloodthirsty bastard, and along the way claims a beast for a bridegroom.)

Summary
Stede sits with his beer and watches her smile, watches her trace idle fingers through her hair; steeple her fingers delicately over the little songbird at her collarbone. His heart aching, bursting, spilling hot and vivid into his chest cavity. It’s the sort of thing that could kill a man, loving like this. Luckily, Stede’s always been a little hard to kill.
