    Summary

    I am writing to inquire whether you are still available for in-home walks over the holidays. My grandson’s dog will require a reliable walker on the Saturday before Christmas.
    She could clarify that he had the wrong number, politely and efficiently. That would be the sensible, grown-up response. Or... she could… have a little fun. A small, treacherous part of her brain whispered: Where's the harm?
    I’m afraid you’ve got the wrong number. Closest thing I walk these days is from my counter to the oven.
    She hesitated, then added: Your grandson’s dog sounds adorable, though. 11/10 would pet. She sent it before she could second-guess herself. She, in all honesty, would try to pet a wild direwolf, too.

    Summary

    It is nothing and it is everything. It is a line drawn between where he stands and where she is. She can’t see his mark—not through jacket and cuff—but she can feel it. That is the thing about the marks no one who doesn’t have one understands; it isn’t just your skin burning. It’s the sense of another gravity in the room. A tilt. The way your body understands it might be home and wants to throw itself there, reckless, into the waves to swim through any and every storm.

    Summary

    The porn industry is a hard business, but it’s a good business. One that Levi doesn’t mind. Outcasts like him—dysfunctional omegas born in the underground of Mitras—don’t have many choices either way. And this one isn’t the worst. Because it’s Levi’s only chance to get physical with a decent alpha. His job? Keeping them hard for their beta playmates posing as horny omegas for the explicit movies devoured by the elite omega masses. He’s okay with that. He’s used to it. What he’s not used to? Falling in love on set.

    Summary

    They say when Sansa Stark was born, she’d been touched by fire. Maybe she was, maybe she wasn’t, but fire and ice seem to be in her blood.

    Maybe that’s why her soul is damaged so much that she needed three Soulmates to hold her together? Depending on who’s asked, Soulmates weren’t the happily ever after of the stories Sansa hoped for, not with the men she’s apparently bound to.

    In any case, for the rest of the world, they hope the three chosen could keep her from either burning the world down or icing it into a living level of the Seven Hells.

    "My sweet Firebright," he murmured. "It's…complicated. What your mother believes and feels on Soulmates is complicated."

    "But you and she are bonded!" Sansa protested. "Everyone knows that having one is a blessing from the Gods!"

    Ned paused in thought before gifting his child with a solemn smile.

    "A blessing, yes. But it is a curse as well. To be honest, little one, to have a Soulmate is a blessing and a curse."

    Summary

    Sansa Stark is stuck. She needs a plan, as she wants to escape from the dangers of King's Landing. Stannis Baratheon is stuck. He also needs a plan, as he is heading straight towards the dangers of King's Landing. Their plans meet somewhere in the middle. The first steps in their separate battles are to choose who will be their allies, unwitting or otherwise. Sansa is no Cersei, but she needs to try this game of seduction to avoid being wed to Joffrey. Stannis is no Littlefinger, yet he needs to keep his mind as sharp as that one, to survive with his head still upon his shoulders.

    But in the end, who here is the seducer or the one being seduced? Who is the master of intrigue here and who will be played? Who is the Dragon here in this deadly game of Cyvasse, and who will be sacrificed like Rabble?

    'Ned had not joined the laughter. "I wonder about your brother Stannis as well. I wonder when he intends to end his visit to Dragonstone and resume his seat on this council." ' - Game of Thrones, Eddard VI
