    Summary

    "I didn't hate it, Maekar."

    Maekar blinked, confusion knitting his brow. "What?"

    Baelor let out a shaky breath, his pupils blowing wide. "The sheer power of it. The pain. Knowing it was you who possessed the strength to break me."

    He leaned in further, his voice a ghost against the heavy wool of Maekar’s tunic. "I liked it. I liked the pain of it. It felt… right. To be at your mercy."

    Maekar stood frozen, the bandage dangling from his hand, his mind struggling to process the words.

    "What?" Maekar asked, his voice flat with disbelief.

    Summary

    Newly-crowned Valarr Targaryen is an alpha in bearing, if not in boast. Deft with the sword and quicker still with the quill. Soft-spoken in council yet iron-firm where it counts. However, a secret only the inner council is privy to reveals that, for reasons none dare name aloud, the King is incapable of taking an omega to mate.

    Aerion returns from exile not long after the coronation, gone once with empty hands, only to come back burdened with a bastard child. And Valarr, who has sired no heirs of his own nor ever shown inclination to, finds himself inexplicably drawn to the child all the same.

    Summary

    Obi-Wan's lightsaber remained clipped to his belt, and it wasn’t until he was standing right next to Maul that Ahsoka realized that neither of them were about to fight.

    He pushed back his hood, revealing a familiar face, though slightly weathered from five years in the Tatooine desert, with a few gray strands in his hair, and his facial hair more stubble than beard… but Ahsoka barely noticed those changes as she stared into the eyes of the man who had once been her Master’s Master.

    Eyes that were now a bloodshot gold.

    “Hello there, Ahsoka,” he said with a smile that was far too cold, a smile that caused Ahsoka’s blood to freeze in her veins as she sensed the Dark Side wrapping itself around him like a heavy cloak. “It’s been a long time, hasn’t it?”
