Summary
The maester said Aegon had been a quiet baby. His mother said it too, as though a flaw they'd corrected. He was no longer quiet; he laughed at everything. Noise was armor. If you were funny, no one looked too closely at what you were hiding.
Aemond did not laugh. He watched rooms like an inventory of what he intended to own. He had no dragon. Aegon had Sunfyre—golden, beautiful, and his—and sometimes he caught Aemond watching with an expression quieter and more patient than jealousy.
"You should try," Aegon had told him, meaning pick a dragon before you ruin yourself wanting the impossible.
Aemond looked at him. "I am trying. I'm just not ready."
Aegon hadn't known what to do with a six-year-old who spoke like that, so he laughed. Aemond's expression closed like a door. They never spoke of it again.
That night, Aegon lay in bed listening to the city breathe, feeling the specific shape of a wanting—not for a thing, but a way out. At eight, he understood his life would ask more of him than he intended to give.
He didn't know yet that the hardest thing it would ask was Aemond.Bookmarked by Motherwort

Summary
“Did you actually know him, or are you just making this up?” some random kid Mana doesn’t know the name of, and doesn’t care to know, asks.
Mana pulls up a new slide. Her eighth grade class photo, with two red circles over it. One over her, one over Dr Grace. The time and date is underlined on the bottom of the photo.
“He held a few classes about the Petrova problem as it was introduced. He knew about as much as the rest of the world, and he still made a point to try to help educate us,” Mana says. “He encouraged me to enjoy science, and after he left, I could have stopped. But he told me once, ‘just try’, and while it seems like not much, it still impacts me to this day.”
or, ryland grace was once mana's teacher. now she works with astrophage just like he did.
alternatively, project hail mary (mostly based off the book) from a student's perspective
