    Summary

    The tragedy that befell Lucerys Velaryon at Storm’s End was never planned, on this all of our sources agree. The first battles in the Dance of the Dragons were fought with quills and ravens, with threats and promises, decrees and blandishments. The murder of Lord Beesbury at the green council was not yet widely known; most believed his lordship to be languishing in some dungeon. Whilst sundry familiar faces were no longer seen about court, no heads had appeared above the castle gates, and many still hoped that that the question of succession might be resolved peaceably.

    The Stranger had other plans. For surely it was his dread hand behind the ill chance that brought the two princelings together at Storm’s End, when the dragon Arrax raced before a gathering storm to deliver Lucerys Velaryon to the safety of the castle yard, only to find Aemond Targaryen there before him.

    And with Lucerys's death, the war of ravens and envoys and marriage pacts came to an end, and the war of fire and blood began in earnest.


    Or, Lucerys is killed over Shipbreaker Bay as he was always fated to be. Only this time he doesn't stay dead.

     

    Mostly.

    Summary

    From my blood comes the prince that was promised to bring the Dawn.

    Some say seven are the hells and seven the heavens. Other says there is only one hell, and it's the one we live in.

    All Sansa could think of as snow twirled and the wind howled around her was that her lips were blue by the cold, her hands were puffy and red, slowly becoming livid at the fingertips and even the ember of the Heart Tree had turned to frost as the words on her lips.

    Pale. The woman was pale, unresponsive as the Maester busied himself at her bedside. The only spark of color was the red of her matted hair. He wondered which color her eyes were.

    Sapphires. Her eyes were the color of sapphires.

    Summary

    "I mean it." Sokka gestured at Zuko's shoulders. "You were not this big last time. What happened? Did you start lifting rocks? Did you start eating rocks?"

    He stopped in front of Zuko and punched him in the shoulder.

    The punch landed with a solid thud that would have staggered most men. Zuko did not move an inch.
