    Summary

    You’re not meant to rule.

    No, you’re meant to be a cautionary tale—to be the example, like your uncle before you. You’re the uncontrolled brightness of a pyre left to burn itself out. You’re contained only by altering everything around you—clearing the brush, stacking the rocks, arranging the sticks, and keeping far away from the inciting spark. The consuming blaze.

    You’re overlooked, overseen, and underestimated—the Realm’s Delight, the Rogue Princess, the only thing worse than a second son. A firstborn daughter.

    .

    or; baelon lives, and rhaenyra tries a little harder at being a knight, that includes wooing her lady love.

    Summary

    Michaela Stirling returns from four years in India to find the life she fled exactly where she left it, John's ghost in every corridor, and Francesca at the top of the stairs.

    She had told herself the distance had taught her restraint. That she could stand in the same room as Francesca Bridgerton and call herself only a friend. That four years and an ocean were enough to make loving someone bearable.

    She had been wrong on all counts.

    Or

    michaela and francesca spend several chapters inventing new ways to avoid admitting the obvious.

    Summary

    Takes place immediately after my other story, A Garden-Variety Killer. Jane and Maura are assigned a new and weird murder at the same time they're navigating the beginning of their romantic relationship.

    Canon compliant with the first two seasons and after that I'm just doing whatever I want.

    It's got murder, it's got semi-rigorously researched medical nonsense, and it's gonna have a bunch of sex.

    Summary

    “We need your help to access the Road. The Witches’ Road.”
    For a very long moment, everything is still.
    Then, Ava’s laughter fills the room.
    Yes, Ava knows about the Road. And it is true that she is probably one of three people currently alive on Earth who know how to access it. But she also knows, doing so is a death wish. She knows only of one Coven that managed to access it, and of one person who survived it; and it has been centuries since then.
    “Ah, you need help alright,” she mutters, as the last of her chuckle fades. “That door behind you with ‘Exit’ written on it leads right to it, you can go ahead and walk straight through it. Best of luck. Goodbye, now.”

    //

    Or, Astra and Spooner ask for Ava's help to access the Road. They're missing a Coven, Ava hasn't practiced magic in years, and most of the witches they know hate each other. However, the promise of receiving the thing they seek most is very enticing to all of them; especially those who seek revenge (which is most of them, really).

    An AU inspired by Agatha All Along, but this story has its own lore and laws.
