Summary
Rust, well, he always seemed to wear his own functionality, sneered at and rose above the aesthetic. Here he is, smoothing factor 30 into the ridge of that scar.

Summary
Rust — Rust a fool — allows himself to imagine a world in which he turns. A world in which they solve this together, they grind it out and start thinking, really thinking, pavements and hard man-hours, answer to nobody but themselves, they solve it. Marty turns. Let this be that world — it’s the world of shit-all else, it’s the world where Rust wakes up wishing he hadn’t every fucking morning, the world in which he knows the sound a child’s bones, still soft, make under the wheels of an ‘84 Mercedes 230CE — let him have this, just this. Only this.
Marty doesn’t turn. Marty mutters under his breath, “Sanctimonious prick,” and Marty leaves.
They arrest Rust twenty-one days later.

Summary
Rust and her dad, Rust-and-her-dad, Macie can’t stop seeing it, the little ways they glance at each other, or don’t glance at each other, know each other well enough not to need to, to be assured innately that the other’s still there.
— December 2013. A family dinner, such as it is.

THE LATHE: there are only so many parallel universes that concern us. by palmviolet

Summary
'Sure. You can have these worlds.
You can warm them in your hands at night. But know:
by signing, you agree also to be responsible for the universewhere the oceans glow red, the universe where
what we call shadow is pulsing with the muskof hooves, and especially the one in which
humans exist, but only in the nightmaresof small children. Will you hold that one too?'

Summary
He thinks he'll remember it a long time; the weight of the lance on his arm, the burn in his shoulder. The buzzing in his ears as his horse wheeled around and he saw Daemon across the field for the first time.

Summary
It’s a small enough thing, the Baratheon stag engraved into the lid. It had perhaps been locked once, but the salty sea air of Storm’s End softens most wood after enough years, and the latch tears clean out when he gives it a good pull. Old too, then. Inside is another bundle of parchment, neatly folded and tied with fraying twine.
More damned papers, he thinks for a disappointed moment, nearly shutting it again- what a waste this whole venture had been. But these do not look like more records. There is something personal in how they have been handled and hidden away, and Renly begins picking at the twine with curious fingers. When it falls away, he unfolds the first sheet, and finds a letter.
Milord Lyonel, it begins.
[Renly Baratheon, young and full of confusing feelings, discovers that he may not be as alone as he believes.]

Summary
"Have you ever slain a man, nephew?" his uncle had asked him, that last time they had spoken.
Reaching down, he splayed a hand over Daeron's cup and slid it across the table. That was unkind of him, Daeron would reflect later. It was the only cup he’d managed to sneak past his father.
