    Summary

    Jan is, as far as he knows, the only one aware of this particular oddity of Kaer Morhen. There are, of course, quite a few oddities in this keep, not the least of which are the Witcher inhabitants themselves, but this particular oddity goes well beyond anything Jan has ever encountered. Were he a less practical man, it might have scared him away. But Jan has sworn his service to the White Wolf, and Jan does not break his word.

    Besides, all things considered, ‘magical building that can rearrange and grow itself seemingly at will’ is certainly odd, but also quite useful for a man in Jan’s position.

    Summary

    Now, in that study at the river estate, Cassian looked down at the female who would be staying with him for the near future. At the eyes that had drained of fire at the sound of her sisters words and were now nothing but hollow, unseeing.

    “You’re coming with me to the Illyrian Mountains,” he told her.

    Those steel blue eyes bore into his, unblinking. He waited for the retort, for the snide remark that would send him reeling but it didn’t come.

    Somehow, that was worse. It meant that the situation was far graver than any of them had realised.

    Summary

    Lilies are symbols of grieving, surely as they are symbols of innocence, of motherhood purity, renewal, and transience.

    They can be toxic, greedy, and voracious in their growth.

    Lillian Powell wakes in the body of one Lily Potter, with a screaming toddler, a weeping wound like Lichtenberg figures stark in her fair skin, and the expansion of the stars above her in the late night of October 31st, 1981.

    Summary

    Sansa Stark was markedly different from her siblings. From the first words she spoke until her last, she was undeniably strange. Jon knows it better than anyone - he was there when she spoke her first.

    Summary

    Ned speaks the sacred words of House Bolton, and tells the boy of what his bastard brother would have done. Tells the boy of the wars to come, and that he has sought House Bolton’s aid in the coming conflict. Tells the boy what he and his father have plotted, to ensure that future never comes to pass.

    (In which Eddard Stark receives a vision, and promptly yeets his backyard sociopath at the political nightmare that is King's Landing so he can deal with magic zombies in peace. This mostly works, except where it doesn't.)
