A Payment in Pain by Wild_Musings
Fandoms: Game of Thrones (TV), A Song of Ice and Fire - George R. R. Martin

Summary
He watched as Robb’s brow furrowed as he read it once before glancing up at Jon. He then quickly read it again, mouthing along with the words. “That’s it?” he finally asked. “What does it mean?”
Jon glanced from his brother to his father, and he saw the question mirrored on his father’s face in the arch of his eyebrow. The answer fell from Jon’s lips, barely more than an utterance of breath, a benediction, “That they remember.”
Or: When the Long Night comes and humanity falls beneath the Night King's onslaught, Jon Snow and his four companions travel back in time, but their trip is not without consequences.

Summary
He died in winter and woke in summer, choking on a name he did not recognize.
Ghost.He remembers none of the fall, only what it left behind: a wrongness humming beneath his skin, senses too sharp for comfort, and the uneasy sense that somewhere in the dark between worlds, something vast caught at him and let him go again.
He looks at faces he has known his whole life and feels joy he cannot place, or grief he cannot name.
Jon Snow is fourteen. Winterfell is still whole. For now, that is enough.Bookmarked by derthe

Winter's Child by Honorificabilitudinitatibus
Fandoms: A Song of Ice and Fire - George R. R. Martin, Game of Thrones (TV)
14 Feb 2023

Summary
In Westeros, each noble house is known to have an affinity for a particular type of magic. For thousands of years, House Stark was stronger than all of them- holding the north with mages who could command winter herself. When Torrhen Stark knelt to Aegon Targaryen to protect The North from the wrath of dragon flame, however, the Starks forgot the language of winter- their gifts faded into legend. Since then, the children of House Stark have traditionally been born as wargs, or skinchangers.
Sansa Stark is neither- an outcast in her own family, no matter how hard she prays. Years pass, and Sansa’s dreams remain silent, devoid of wolves, while water refuses to rise at her fingertips as it does for Robb. Only Jon, who keeps the secret of his own magic, comes close to understanding. No matter how Sansa wishes she could stay with him, they walk different paths, and she has to travel south- reconciling herself to a life away from Winterfell.
Until they cut off her father's head, and Sansa Stark freezes over all of Blackwater Bay in her grief.
-
Sansa’s fury awakens in her a power that hasn’t been seen in Westeros since the arrival of Aegon the Conqueror. As a result, the very fate of Westeros is altered.

Rex Maxim: Real Space Punching Bag by BlaackBiird
Fandom Legends of Avantris (Web Series)23 Apr 2026
1. The Liar's Gambit
05 Apr 2026
If there’s one thing Rex has always been good at, it’s lying. A talent that had gotten him in trouble numerous times as a child had torpedoed his career as an adult, and since then has become something he does instinctively, practically without thinking sometimes.
Even now, as he pulls his broken and battered body into Don Nido’s personal cruiser, the truth is not something he’s going to be able to give.
[alternate take on episode 11/12 of Stardust Rhapsody: Anthem]
Words: 2,073
Chapters: 1/12. Gambler's Fallacy
22 Apr 2026
Rex is no stranger to pain; he's felt a great deal in his life. Both physical and emotional pain are old friends by now.
He knows them, he's used to them.
He's prepared.
But no one's ever prepared him for the pain of living when he knows he should have died.
How does he deal with that, alone and on a ship full of people that hate him?

Summary
A year after Vecna rips the town in half, El comes to them with a theory.
That theory doesn't send Steve and Nancy down into the gate—no, that was already a part of the plan. But it does make them think there might be more to Vecna and the Upside Down world he made.
Especially when the plan hits a snag, Steve falls through the portal, and ends up in July of 1985 in the path of Billy Hargrove's camaro.
And that's only the beginning.
-"Which means,” he says, taking a breath, eyes never widening past slits, “that my nasty dude has an inherent weakness he doesn’t want us to know about.”
They’re all waiting with baited breath for him to continue. When he doesn’t, Steve prompts, “Which is?”
“Real simple, my guy. Supergirl is saying he’s bridging the gap when he invades our mind spheres. Comprendo? He’s sharing bandwidth. Guy’s mooching our cable ‘cus he’s got shitty dish.”

Nobody at a hero bar like this would assume he was so young.
“How the fuck do you think that?” Chase asks, spits. His hands still shake with the memory of it. The beer in his hand shakes with the tremors of his hands. “How the fuck do you do it?”

Summary
Robert climbs out of the smoldering wreckage of his father’s legacy only to find that he's no longer needed. Mecha Man is, of course. But Robert Robertson? Ha. No.
So he tries to piece his life back together, however hopeless a cause it may be. But then it's time to announce his--hm, not retirement. Convalescence? Close enough--and it goes just a little too well. Chase never calls in the favor with Blazer so Robert never gets the job at SDN. Purposeless, he lets himself backslide. Forces himself to focus on the suit and only the suit because it's the only way he'll ever let himself live again (as if Mecha Man was much of a life beforehand).
Then a couple assholes bust down his door because the neighbors called for a wellness check and now Robert's plans of dying in a landslide of pizza boxes will have to be put on pause.
TLDR: Robert and Z-Team fix each other. They fuck up a lot along the way.

“Hey, fire guy!” someone called.
Shit, was he actually on fire? Chad checked his shoulders and forearms. There were wisps of smoke but no fire. He hadn’t done anything wrong. A deep scowl formed, and Chad turned to direct it at whoever called.
It was a hero who looked vaguely familiar, running towards him. He wore a dark blue suit with yellow stripes and a yellow ‘M’ on white armour.
“You’re a hero, right?” he called as he continued to close the distance. He was almost at Chad now.
“Uh,” started Chad.
“I need your help, let’s go!” the hero’s tone was confident and authoritative as he ran right past Chad, waving for him to follow.

Summary
The scars themselves ranged from long incisions that stretched down his chest and right down his belly like the sharp slice of gutted livestock.
Robert had an ‘X’ crossed over his heart like someone had taken a knife to it and unfolded the skin out like the petals of a flower to drive their fingers in between the gaps of his ribcage.
He was thinner than Sonar had initially guessed from looking at the way his uniform hung from his body. Rail thin and gangly in all the wrong places. He had muscle, of course, more than Sonar had expected to find, but no part of him looked healthy.
…He looked young.
“This isn’t a show, by the way,” the dispatcher ground out as he finally turned his head back to where Sonar was slack-jawed staring. “Didn’t your mother teach you not to stare?”
. . .
Months pass, and Sonar learns to map out the soft parts of Robert...How long will he have, though, before the consequences of Robert’s secrecy catch up to him?
Exhausted and with nowhere else to turn, will his walls finally come crumbling down?

Fandoms: Dispatch (Video Game)16 Dec 2025
TagsSummary
The scars themselves ranged from long incisions that stretched down his chest and right down his belly like the sharp slice of gutted livestock.
Robert had an ‘X’ crossed over his heart like someone had taken a knife to it and unfolded the skin out like the petals of a flower to drive their fingers in between the gaps of his ribcage.
He was thinner than Sonar had initially guessed from looking at the way his uniform hung from his body. Rail thin and gangly in all the wrong places. He had muscle, of course, more than Sonar had expected to find, but no part of him looked healthy.
…He looked young.
“This isn’t a show, by the way,” the dispatcher ground out as he finally turned his head back to where Sonar was slack-jawed staring. “Didn’t your mother teach you not to stare?”
. . .
Months pass, and Sonar learns to map out the soft parts of Robert...How long will he have, though, before the consequences of Robert’s secrecy catch up to him?
Exhausted and with nowhere else to turn, will his walls finally come crumbling down?
