    Summary

    The last shot is accompanied by the trail of a cry, shrill, angry, fearful. Arthur lowers his revolver. Blinks. Tongues at a bloody tooth from getting hit while strangling an O’Driscoll, spits red mucus onto one of the bodies on the floor.

    The crying starts up again, as if sensing Arthur’s confusion. For a moment, Arthur thinks it must be some poor lady these savages have taken alongside the house, but quickly knows it to be untrue. It’s too—wet, pointless in a way only the young can manage, knowing that something is wrong but not knowing what. Just a shout, not the bellowing anguish of someone who knows what god-awful situation they have been put in.

    “Christ,” he says, once, twice. “Christ.”

    or

    Arthur accidentally adopts a baby, and, despite his best judgement, ends up starting to raise him. He falls in love with Charles along the way.

    Summary

    Dutch caught Hosea's shoulder as he turned away.

    "Come on now, Old Girl, you're not–"

    The pet name was what did it. Hosea ripped his arm from his shoulder, pulling his revolver and shoving it into his chest. "I. Wasn't. Askin'."

    Dutch and Micah return to Clemens Point without Arthur. Hosea does not agree with their synopsis that all is well.

    Summary

    From her hiding spot, Marja stared at the boy. He had the same eyes as her son. Her precious little Emil, less than a year old, had the same sea-blue gaze as this child, only maybe a shade darker. Then all she could think of was her son in this boy’s place, his eyes staring off into nothing, and she sobbed, tears blurring her vision.

    The boy’s mouth moved, and even though nothing but a low gurgle of blood escaped his lips, Marja could see the shape they made. She could see him silently cry, mother, mother.

    --

    In which humanity shines brightest in the darkest of times, and one impulsive choice results in two serving girls and a Frey knight saving Robb Stark’s life in the aftermath of the Red Wedding.

    Summary

    And Father's busy, though never unkind. Even in his worst moods, he's never done anything more than raise his voice or use words not suited to Princes. A part of him feels guilty, for telling his uncle before his father, but Aerion's words echo in his head. Wasn't Aegon the Conqueror married to both his sisters? And father named him after the man, did he not?

    Or, Aerion accidentally cuts Egg while threatening to castrate him, and that makes the truth come out.
