Summary
“I am in no shape to make that journey,” you said. While you knew a journey of any kind would surely kill you, you kept your concern to yourself.
“Then we go to Sharp Point and, and—”
“Jacaerys.”
The waves pushed up against the ship more forcefully, as if pressing him to answer. His shoulders slumped, and he surrendered, saying:
“I have always hated when you call me that. It means something is wrong.”or, the one where it was you who had died in battle of the Gullet. Aemond thought he’d been stood up by his own wife, but the truth was much worse. Daemon had been in the Riverlands and would receive word regarding his daughter’s death by scroll. Both found themselves questioning if duty was worth it.
No appearance descriptors, but the reader is implied to be a person of color. No use of Y/N. +Hover/click to translate High Valyrian.

to fall for the shadow of the king by sansaints

Summary
“Alas, Rivendell finds yet another Ranger blind to the attentions of an Elf,” sighed Arwen.
“A tale old as time itself,” you snarked. “I could not even place who you might be speaking of. We were surrounded by Elves.”
“He hides his station well.”
“If it was a riddle I wanted, I’d have sought out Gandalf.”
When Aragorn took you under his wing, you came from nothing and knew nothing. You could not look any more different from him, yet you still endeavored to follow in his footsteps. This was, perhaps to a fault, as you also caught the eye of an Elf despite your much shorter lifespan.
(or, the quest to destroy the Ring brings you and Legolas together, and the rest of the Fellowship is fed up with the slowburn that seems set on outlasting the War itself. Implied POC!reader, but no appearance descriptors. Takes place during the LOTR trilogy movies.)

Summary
“Fine,” you sighed, looking up and admiring the peach-colored clouds. “I suppose I can part ways with a pouch of Southern Star.”
“That was supposed to be my wager!” cried out Pippin, lying on his front, resting on his elbows.
“No, Peregrin Took, a pouch of leavings is what you’d have left,” scolded Gandalf, who sat on a taller boulder behind Pippin. He whacked the young Hobbit playfully on the head with his staff.
“Its contents smoked before even reaching its winner.” Then, he decided, “A finely-crafted pipe will be what I have to offer.”Arwen proposes a bet, wishing to know who, out of the Fellowship, was the first to become aware of when you and Legolas first, well, became aware of each other.
(or, the companion piece to to fall for the shadow of the king. your budding relationship seen through the eyes of the Fellowship. Female!POC!reader, no appearance descriptors.)

Summary
In hindsight, you should have known Obi-Wan Kenobi wouldn’t choose you. In greater hindsight, perhaps choosing to embark on the most dangerous and mysterious mission of your career was not the way to cope with things, but since when have Jedi your age ever been known for healthy emotional regulation?
It was too late for Obi-Wan in any case. You had been slain by the fascinating and oddly charming Darth Valentis. Not that he would (or should) have those words in his lexicon to describe her. He meant flagitious and conniving, of course.
So why does he feel so drawn towards her? And why does she keep coming back to him? And how has Anakin managed to be one of the most level-headed people in this whole affair?
——
A four-part series with an epilogue, very loosely based on Revenge of the Sith (2005) and even less so on The Princess Bride (1987). Female Jedi!reader (technically Sith!reader, too). No use of Y/N. Written with a POC reader in mind, but it's quite vague. -

Summary
You were the (legitimized) eldest daughter of Daemon Targaryen; in spite of this, Aemond was drawn to you: the lady equally adept in swordsmanship and charming cheek. To quell tensions rising in your house, the pair of you were betrothed.
But when an unforeseen force finds a home in Aemond's heart, breaking both his faith to you and the peace that had finally found your family, what else were you to do? Well, you got even, of course.
Your hearts were always one, for better or for worse.
——
(or, otherwise known as: the fic that riffs heavily on Jane Austen’s writing style, uses dialogue from House of the Dragon despite diverging from its events and characterization, and has my unexpected investment in accurate High Valyrian to the point of proper conjugation. it was an exercise in studying all three, really.)*No use of Y/N, and your only appearance marker is having silver hair (it’s a plot point).
*Kind of a songfic but the lyrics are just used to differentiate different spread-out scenes.

Summary
The Clone Wars have launched the galaxy into darkness, and hundreds of Jedi have fallen. With nowhere else to turn, the Order seeks to ally with powerful Force users from the Unknown Regions.
Just a three-cycle trip from Ilum, the planet s’Ziscari is home to the largest army of Force sensitives known to the galaxy, three times the size of the Jedi Order and with no current allegiance to the Republic. There, Master Obi-Wan Kenobi and his newly ordained Jedi Knight are to negotiate an alliance with the s’Ziscari government on behalf of the Order and the Republic.
As the separatist army grows ever stronger, the fate of trillions rests in their hands…

This is so fucking good. Perfectly paced, perfectly balanced in angst and sensuality.

Love how the Greens are written. Superbly tragic and beautiful at the same time.

Summary
People would remember their story. Even decades after they were gone, Septa’s would tell young children about the one-eyed dragon prince and his sweet wife as if they were a part of a fairytale, too good to be true for the harshness real life possessed.
Aemond meets a young girl who quickly becomes his most cherished friend and changes the course of history.
