    Summary

    Life is chaotic in the Gilmore-Danes-Mariano family. Jess is in middle school, which is never a fun time for anyone. But it's not the only struggle he has. It's tough being in a blended family where no one else shares your name and no one quite looks like you. Where everyone adores your siblings more than you.

     

    Part 2 to Of Uncles and Nephews, but can be read independently as well.

    Summary

    Jess needs a safety net--as much as he loathes to admit it. The publishing house folds and Jess has no desire to live in his car again, so he calls on the most reliable person he knows. Luke is there with a place to stay, unsolicited advice, and possibly WiFi. More than enough for him to get the chance to drum up some cash.

    The proximity of Luke's apartment to every other inch of Stars Hollow is a slight complicating factor.

    Summary

    A Knight of the Seven Kingdoms but its Single Mother Maekar trying to go on a family road trip with his brother, Baelor, and his perfect children. Maekar’s own children? A far cry from perfect.

    Just a modern twist on our favorite family function where nobody is functioning at all.

    More tags and characters will potentially be added as I go along with whatever the voices tell me to write <3

    Summary

    "You're lost, prince."
    "Am I?" Daeron peered around as if only now noticing where he'd ended up. "Doesn't seem so. I was looking for a tent, and here's a tent." He gestured broadly, nearly toppling himself in the process.
    "This isn't your tent."
    "No, mine's much finer." Daeron took another wobbling step closer. "Silks and satin and all manner of royal rubbish. Dreadfully boring."

    Daeron stumbles into Raymun's tent after Baelor's funeral, and Raymun takes care of him despite every reason not to.

    Summary

    Deciding to work in Italy for the summer was not what Duncan had intended to do with his life after school, watching after four young children in Italy for said job was something he expected to do even less, but now he’s here and there’s no turning back.

    Eight weeks of helping out around the house, eight weeks of playing with children, eight weeks of listening to the happy noises of a full house he hasn’t recognized since he was ten, and eight weeks of sharing a bathroom with the eldest son in the house who can seem to understand personal space and serious conversations.

    Or

    Duncan becomes an au pair in Italy for the Targaryen family and quickly realizes he is no match for silver haired boys with lots of confidence and too much free will.
