Sixth Moon, 89 AC Aemon What was his father even doing? Aemon did not know. He just knew that with a single decision, his father had burned the bridges they had labored so long to build, set fire to them more thoroughly then if he had used Vermithor. Immediately after his father had dismissed the court, almost the entire Targaryen family had raced to meet him in the royal apartments. His decision had taken them all by surprise and they all wanted to know what he was thinking. Viserra had beaten them there…- 606.6 K • Completed
- Daemon Velaryon Fifth Moon, 61 AC Winter had ended a few months ago. It had been short but terrible. Crops had failed across the realm, famine had spread, and blizzards had reached as far south as Highgarden. Worst of all was the plague that had come with the winter. The Shivers. A man could feel cold one night, mistake it for the chill of the wintry air, and be dead by morning. Soon a shivering will begin, one that will worsen until teeth chatter and one's arms, legs, and whole body will convulse and…

- And behold, the Third War began with a sudden flame! Dagor Bragollach we named it, for the legends of old. The name was fitting… too fitting. 4441 E.L The Titan of Braavos was always an awe-inspiring sight to see; a massive bronze statue and stone fortress that guarded the entrance to the lagoon that held Braavos. Centuries ago, the Braavosi had commissioned Arnorian craftsman to build it after the Unveiling and it still stood to this day as a symbol of Braavos's might and its defiance to any would be…

- Aurane Seventh Moon, 86 AC When High Tide had been built, the solar had been positioned perfectly to allow their lord grandfather to look out the window and see Spicetown in all its glory and splendor nearby. Every day as he worked in the solar seeing to Driftmark's matters, their lord grandfather could look out and see the sight Aurane saw now. A strong and stout set of walls ringed the town, guarding against sea as much as land. Barbicans and portcullises protected their gates. Crenellated battlements…

- Fifth Moon, 87 AC Alysanne "Construction of the fort on Bloodstone was completed three months ago. In the time since, our fleet has cleared through several pirate dens on the Stepstones but the moment we leave an island, the pirates always come slinking right back in," Ser Aurane, the youngest of the Velaryon brothers reported. "What of the locals?" her husband asked. She had always loved how he looked when he was trying to be serious and focused. "There aren't that many of them. Some villages of…

- Sixth Moon, 88 AC Viserra "Alys dear, have you been settling in well?" Irina asked. She took a sip of her tea as she let Alys consider the question. The three of them were having their luncheon together today, a private meal Irina had invited her goodsisters to. They would be eating a light meal of more simply flavored (though no less delicious) chicken and some rice and garlic-fried vegetables to accompany it. High Tide's residents, Viserra had found, were quite obsessed with rice. Many insisted it was…

- Hindsight is 20/20 as they say. I've improved significantly, incredibly, as a writer since I wrote LOTK so I thought, I'd write a sort of appendix, a sort of finisher. An analysis of sort of some of the arcs I wrote and overall what I think I could have done to write it better in hindsight, and if I wrote LOTK again now (not that I intend to) what could and should I have done instead? If you guys are interested, you could stick around for this little essay of mine. So where to begin? At the start I…

Author's Note: Hello there! This particular story explores the concept of Daemon Blackfyre taking his King Arthur Pendragon parallels all the way to their peak logical conclusion, hence the reason for the title, which is one of the epithets of King Arthur (or is in Fate/stay/night at least lol). Technically an SI/transmigrator facilitates this, but you can imagine it as an AU if you like because unlike most SI/transmigrators, this story is written purely as a historical text, like Fire and Blood or World…- 36.8 K • Completed
- 4287 E.L Aelyx Belaerys felt as exhausted as the army he led. Much like his fellow dragonriders and the forces they commanded, he was utterly bone-achingly exhausted. How could he not be, after two years of killing endless Arnorian hordes at the price of several of his comrades? Some of the dead had been his rivals and enemies, but just as many had been his friends and allies, men and women he had known since he was a child. They had all died just the same. After two years of that carnage, Aelyx could…

- Isildur "We have to leave now!" Isildur shouted to the crew of his ship. With as much haste as they could muster, they released the sails and the ship was blown out of the harbour by a fierce eastward wind. Turning back, Isildur could see a huge wave, a giant wall of water rolling over the hills near Rómenna. Cries of despair rang from the city but he hardened his heart. They could give no help to their countrymen. As the sea drowned Númenor, Isildur allowed a single tear to fall down his face. He and…
