    Summary

    My dear Miss Featherington,

    I hope you will forgive the liberty of this letter. I wished to tell you, how much I owe you. Do you recall that afternoon in the gardens, some months past? You were waiting for my sister, the late sun caught in your hair. I remember thinking you looked otherworldly.

    I sketched you then. I did not intend to; my hand acted before I considered the impropriety. I continued to do so on other days, from other angles, always unseen—until you noticed. I expected embarrassment, perhaps reproach. Instead, you regarded the drawing as something of value. You said it was beautiful, and encouraged me to pursue what moved me.

    No one had spoken to me in such a manner before. My family indulges my drawing as a harmless pastime. You were the first to suggest it might be more. That it might be mine. It was shortly after that I resolved to apply to the Royal Academy of Arts, having concluded my studies at Eton. I do not presume greatness, but I am choosing my own path.

    For that resolve, I thank you.

    Yours most sincerely,
    Benedict Bridgerton.

    Summary

    In "Rhaenyra The Golden" I promised only one-shots and a break from this fandom, but I am a dirty liar. I swear this happens every single time I start writing House of the Dragon fic.

    I sit down with one clear idea in mind, fully convinced I know where the story is going, and somehow I end up with two. The same thing happened with "The Rogue Prince Come Again" and "HIMYF – Targaryen Edition", so at this point I really should know better than to fight it.

    So far, we’ve wandered through Dorne, Driftmark, the Stepstones, the North, and even Yi Ti. And now—whether I like it or not—we’re heading into my least favorite region of all: the Riverlands. I have complaints. Many of them. But the story demanded it, and I’ve learned that arguing rarely works.

    This fic is me unapologetically playing cupid, rearranging pieces, and indulging a little too hard in character dynamics. Somewhere along the way, I also circled right back to my Sims tendencies, because apparently I cannot help myself when it comes to orchestrating the chaos that is Westeros.

    As always, thank you for reading, and for sticking with me as this series continues to grow sideways instead of straight ahead.

    Summary

    There was something wrong with Shane Hollander.

    He had known it since he was young.

    Most people-most kids, in general-had different hobbies and interests. Their attention drifted from one thing to another. They became fascinated with something for a few weeks, only to abandon it for the next shiny obsession that caught their eye.

    Shane had never been like that.

    When it came to him, there was only ever one thing: hockey.

    Obsessive.

    That was the word most people used when referring to his temperament.

    Summary

    4th century BC: Thebes had an army of 150 gay couples called the Sacred Band of Thebes, built on the foundation of love and honor and unbreakable bonds. These lovers fought side by side, putting their whole hearts into battle to protect their partners and their cause.

    Steve and Bucky are one pair from this historical legacy, and they thought it had ended when they died together in Greece.

    Dying, however, seems to be the problem. Over and over again, they are brought back to life to fight battle after battle, until WWII sees them sacrificing themselves by flying a plane filled with weapons of mass destruction into the icy Arctic sea. They both prepared themselves for it to be the end; nobody survives an explosion such as that.

    And then a team of extraordinary individuals finds the wreckage off Point Barrow in Alaska.
