    Summary

    In the year 1857 AC the journal of the king that solidified the rule of the Baratheon dynasty was found. The surprisingly frank and direct journal entries give Dr. Hedda Barath a rather unique insight in what life was in Westeros 1500 years ago.

     

    With growing unease, I note that the so venerated Maesters at Oldtown have started to adjust the events of my reign in a nearly utopian narration. Gone are the mistakes I made in my reign, gone are the hunger and thirst, the blood and the sickness, only the glory and honorable deaths are left. Nothing of the cravenness in my own ranks, instead the only ones that were craven were my enemies. Men and women that stood opposite me are demonized into fantasy. I cannot abide this farce, I simply cannot. So in these last days before the Stranger takes me too I will attempt to give an account of my life, the events that shaped me and my rule.
     

    King Joffrey Baratheon, First of his name, King of the Andals, the Rhoynar, and the First Men, Lord of the Seven Kingdoms, Protector of the Realm.

    Summary

    The Holmeses are members of an alien race who come to Earth. John becomes the de facto representative for humanity. A story of mystery, war, politics, love, and above all family.

    Or: The one where Sherlock is a space octopus and everyone needs a hug now and then.

    AU running (mostly) parallel to BBC canon through The Great Game and then diverging wildly.

    “You do. I think it might be ingrained nature for your species; you see people and you weigh them by their merits. Those who have necessary skills are worth more to you; those who are less useful are the first to be sacrificed.” (7)

    John looked at Sherlock, who was staring at him with a blank expression. The alien’s hand was shifting restlessly at his side, John noticed; the fingers kept melding together to form a point before separating into a human hand again. “You see people, and you weigh them by their merits,” Sherlock said. “You calculate the value of one’s life against the other’s, and you make a decision based on that.” He’s quoting the conversation we had after the smuggling case, John realized. Why is he – He means to kill Moriarty! (9)

    Summary

    One of the other boys at the orphanage remembers just enough of a past life to see Naruto as a cute kid in need of looking after. Growing up with a brother figure watching his back, Naruto isn't a desperate, love-starved, illiterate weapon ready-made for authority to wield. Some people in Konoha aren't very happy about that...

    Others, though... well, it might just save their lives.

    chainsaw salmon almost kill Spider? (9)
    💬💬
    He never wanted this. He was never meant to be a father. Quaritch got snipped to ensure that history wouldn't repeat itself, but sometimes it heals; Spider was proof of that. (1)
    He wanted to hunt everybody who neglected his boy and introduce them to the consequences of their inaction. They would endure 9'5 feet of whoop-ass and feral paternal rage. (1)
    Spider felt the Recom's chest expand and recede, how his arms were secure around Spider, tail over his stomach. He didn't know how to react; nobody's done this before. He's seen it with other kids, but nobody wanted to do it with him.
    The stories told of his father came back to him, how he was uncaring and horrendous. But he was the only one that held Spider as though he was invaluable.
    Why? Why did nobody want Spider the way that Miles did? (2)
    "Two - Lost the first to murder, the usual shit, then the other to cancer. If you can't pay, they take it away. Joys of capitalism. Funnels you right into the RDA's gaping arse."(9)
    Spider couldn't fathom how far he'll go for him, how it's not a question of what he would do but what he wouldn't. He's killed many people and will kill more to keep his baby safe.
    He wanted Spider to be safe from everything he experienced. (10)
    "If you ever need to get the Cyrnol and he's asleep, get one of us, iawn? It's a bruise for us, but you? It's shattered bones. The Colonel would sooner die than hurt you, Pry Copyn." (10)
    Spider wasn't the first kid born on Pandora. If you have people cooped up together, things will happen. It was usually between the civilians, engineers or miners, however. The scientists were too busy shoving beakers up their asses, and the soldiers were busy not dying. (11)
