    Summary

    Knights are meant to be heroes—sworn to the Seven and standing against the worst of Westeros: bandits, beastmen, ogres, and more. Ser Ciaphas Cain is such a knight… at least in theory. In an age without dragons, where elves and dwarves fade into myth, the singers hail him as a hero. Cain himself insists it’s all a dreadful misunderstanding—one he’d much rather survive than explain.

    Summary

    Ever read a part of canon and they kill off the character you randomly fell in love with and you get really mad about it because their death is just so POINTLESS and doesn't move the story forward or do any character development for anyone else and you're super mad....
    ...and then you remember you write fanfic?

    Brother Kessalt is from Broken Crusade, the novel that convinced me all Black Templars are profoundly stupid. Let's do better by my boy. It doesn't mean he's going to have an easy time of it.

    And of course my OCs Cyprian and Athven are in the thick of it.

    This is a story about faith.

    Summary

    There’s another silence, then Bruno speaks, and he sounds almost hesitant. “I can show you if you want.”

    Abbacchio blinks. This is the last place he had expected this conversation to go.

    “You can… what?”

    Abbacchio wrenches his eyes from his lap to look at Bruno, and his expression is mild. “If you’re curious, I’ll use the zipper so you can see. I told you it doesn’t hurt. I know you’ve seen it before, but it’s always when we’re fighting… I’ve seen Moody Blues plenty of times. It just seems fair. But of course, don’t feel obligated. I understand it’s a bit unusual.”

    Summary

    “Your dad,” Sokka starts, then swallows hard. “Your dad dueled you, burned half of your face off, and then banished you because you spoke when you shouldn’t have?”

    Guilt festers and bubbles like black tar in Zuko’s chest. “I didn’t just speak. I questioned and insulted one of his highest-ranking generals—but the man was planning a massacre! He shouldn’t have—” Zuko clamps his mouth shut, his teeth clicking together, and swallows thickly. “I mean. I found the tactic he proposed very startling, but it wasn’t my place to question such things. I’m sure he had his reasons.”

    “Tui and La what the absolute fuck,” Sokka whispers.

    [Zuko gets imprisoned with Sokka and Katara during the winter solstice, and some very unfortunate things come to light. Alternatively: the gaang kidnaps adopts Zuko in book one after discovering just how awful his father is.]
