    Summary

    All it takes to prevent tragedy is a cat.

    Preposterous, maybe, but nonetheless true.

    Helaena is eight and he freshly seven, tooth faced and smiling. It’s his nameday, and yet he gives the small, black kitten to her. Many people think black cats bring bad luck, she knows it, and she cries over it, despite how Aegon teases her.

    When he presents the small kitten to her, she can’t help but fluster and beam. The kitten captures her heart already.

    “For you, Helaena,” Jace breathes. “I know how you love animals.”

    Or: Helaena and Jace fall in love and stop a war.

    Summary

    When he closes his eyes, he sees a portrait. The one of Laios, sat on his throne, dressed in his finery. Sometimes it feels like it’s painted inside his eyelids or framed somewhere on the back of his skull. It’s an image Kabru has always liked, ever since the day it got hung up. The king’s likeness captured near perfectly, with all his nervous edges buffed out. He looks like he belongs there.
    Kabru hopes that when Laios is long gone, that is how he is remembered.

    Summary

    Gimli son of Glóin has been living with an aggravating secret – a bed-partner who no longer wants to share his bed. At an annual diplomatic council, he decides that things have gone far enough and initiates a confrontation – but takes a wrong turn and storms into someone else’s tent instead. Legolas, on the other hand, is taken aback when a strange dwarf surprises him in his tent and berates him for toying with him. But the more time they spend together, the more overwhelmed he becomes by his feelings for this startling new friend . . .

    No War AU, written for the Unconventional Courtship challenge.

    Summary

    The third time The Thought crosses Roy’s mind, it doesn’t come as a sudden realisation like it had both times before. He doesn’t just happen to blink or some shit and get struck with the fucking epiphany that Jamie Tartt clearly, desperately needs a hug. It’s not a jolt to his system, not a surprise, not this huge blindsiding Thing that appears out of nowhere.

    No, this iteration of The Thought creeps up like a bad cold: slowly, lazily to start, so that it doesn’t seem like such a big deal at first, but that’s how it fucking gets you, innit, because soon enough you’re knocked clear on your arse with the force of it.

    And it’s fucking terrifying.

    ---------

    in which the touchstarved gays are no longer touchstarved but are still gay, Jamie's in his Mom City depression era, and Roy Kent is Trying His Best. Once again living vicariously through fictional sportsball men <3

    (can be read as a standalone, but the first fic provides some context!)
