Summary
When Jaskier was four, he slipped his mother’s watch and went to the field to gather a bouquet of dandelions. He climbed back into the yard, as stealthy as a child really cared to be, and crept over to the barn. In the barn, lived a secret. (The man he thought his father said the secret was a monster, a plague. His mother said the secret was his sister.)
OR
Jaskier comes from a far humbler background, and would really like to know why Yennefer never came back for her youngest brother.

Bookmarker's Notes
Loved the change from usual fix-its. Definitely gave family feels especially with Gwayne (knowing he's going to die doesn't make it hurt any less, he's well-written and seems like the missing piece for the sides of such a dysfunctional family) and seeing the Eye incident framed as a result of so much mourning and grief made the reconciliation more possible. Loved it

Summary
It's been four years since a dragon-war has been narrowly avoided and Queen Rhaenyra Targaryen, the first of her name, has ruled the Seven Kingdoms, keeping the legacy of her father intact. Her large and unruly family dwell in King's Landing, mostly in peace if less so in harmony. With the exception of Lucerys Velaryon, who catches his grandfather's wonder-lust and joins the Sea Snake on one of his grand adventures on the high seas. They are gone for years... until one day, a tall and dangerous-looking rogue finds his way back to the Red Keep.
Aemond Targaryen, now living the peaceful life he was never trained for but is thankful for nonetheless, is about to trade peace for something he is even less prepared for.

Older Luke with homicidal tendencies, need I say more? Well, yes, a happy world where they figured their shit out and Otto is dead, Aemond is emotionally and mentally stable after much self-reflecting.

Summary
If I could give you my living eye in place of that terrible stone, I would pluck it out myself and give you back all the light of the world. But I cannot. All that is left to me is to share your darkness.
In which Lucerys Velaryon does not leave Storm's End to fly into the jaws of death, but turns around and faces his nemesis with courage and madness even greater than Aemond's own.

Great character writing, happy and moody Aemond, and a relationship development that felt realistic

Summary
Merlin’s life, though far from simple, had always been rather straightforward: protect Arthur, put him on the throne, keep him on the throne, bring the beginning of Albion, get magic restored to the land. That was it.
And then, Gwaine kissed him.
