    Summary

    "Heaven has been promised to the righteous / Hell's an overpopulated pit / Purgatory's given to the dreamers / But the world belongs to those who plough the shit." - Ben Caplan, 'Plough the Shit'.

    In the year 129 AC, as a civil war erupts on mainland Westeros, a homeless thief named Nettles climbs out of the gutter and onto a dragon's back.

    Five years later, she is seen for the last time, fleeing deeper into the Mountains of the Moon, a trail of dead and dying soldiers in her wake.

    This is the story of what happened in between.

    Summary

    Shen-chengzhu rose from the daybed, his fine robes loose and rumpled, and made his way towards the line of boys. He did not touch nor prod them; instead, he leaned over and took a sniff.

    Luo Binghe could scarcely believe his eyes or ears. The man was the spitting image of Shizun.

    He came to a stop in front of Luo Binghe and leaned in, breathing deeply. He lingered longer than he had with the others, taking another deep breath before he pulled away.

    "Is there anyone that Shen-chengzhu prefers?" Madame Meiyin asked.

    Shizun's lips spread into a smug grin. "I need a second opinion."

    Behind him, the door slid open. Shizun's whole face softened. "Here he is. A-Jiu! Come see."

    Footsteps glided behind Luo Binghe; a moment later, another figure in matching robes stepped into view.

    It was Shizun. A second man wearing Shen Qingqiu's face!

    —or—

    Bingge hops worlds and ends up as a sex slave in Shen Yuan and Shen Jiu's harem!

    Summary

    He's better than Ormund at many things, always has been. Dueling (not grappling, never grappling), riding (but not hunting), humility over pride.

    Over the many years, he's learned that throwing the fight has a better outcome than beating his lordly cousin in any competition.

    Ormund is the Head of Hightower House, after all. Sometimes the knee must be bent.

    ------------------------------------


    "He was awful to you, earlier." Daeron looked distinctly uncomfortable as they sat together in what now passed for Gwayne's room in Tumbleton, a chess board between them. His nephew was wringing his hands as though they were wet rags and Daeron a washerwoman. "Those things he said..."

    {The false empathic look, paired with 'I'm sure you found solace with some of your brothers in arms'}

    Gwayne stared at the floor, counting the cracks he found there. "Put it from your mind, Daeron. It was meant to humiliate me, not you. Long has he missed throwing his knives at me, in my absence. That is all that was. His idea of fun. A warm welcome home, if you will."
