    Summary

    “You are very young, solnyshka,” he murmurs. “It is a man imprudent who plucks a flower not yet in bloom.”

    “Likewise, a man who leaves it on the vine to dry,” she replies pertly.

    There are no plagues in Ravka. No disease, no deformity, no death. The last of the otkazat’sya died out more than two centuries ago from the Great Plague. Only the strongest Grisha survived.

    To see their people endure, Grisha are matched for marriage by the most skilled of the corporalki order; the datchik. The datchik see the best mates paired to ensure the strongest offspring.

    Aleksander is the King's firstborn son. He must marry his equal.

    Alina is the Duke's daughter. She hopes to marry her love.

    Jaded by the ugly price of utopian ideals, Aleksander does not expect the woman matched as his wife to ever become his compatriot for life.

    Update 20 May 2026: Nearly a year later, but I finally got there. Enjoy the final chapters. Thank you for your patience 💕

    Summary

    When a star collapses, there are three stages: black hole, neutron star, white dwarf.

    No one – well, almost no one – in the whole galaxy burns as brightly as Supreme Leader Ren. But all men, like stars, must die.

    In other words: this is Star Wars, by way of Sliding Doors. Or perhaps Star Wars, by way of Goldilocks and the Three Bears. Variations on the inevitable, is what I’m saying.

    Because there are a lot of different ways a person can ‘die’... y'know?

    Summary

    At 6 years old, the son of Tony and Pepper Stark, Peter, is kidnapped, never to be seen again. Or, so they thought. Ten years later, while raiding a HYDRA base, the Avengers come across a new, enhanced individual, working for the enemy: in black spandex, with a tendency to stick to walls and shoot webs from his wrists, the Black Spider is a pain in the ass in more ways than one.

    Summary

    "There is a silver lining," she admits, almost reluctantly. "Father had promised me that he wouldn’t choose for me. At least I have a say in the matter."
    Daemon’s attention spikes instantly, all of his plans coming to a screeching halt and shifting.
    .
    Or, upon his return from the Stepstones, Daemon comes up with a plan that can actually win him a little more than just his brother's wrath.

    Summary

    Rhaenyra raised her hand and shook her head, "It is the truth, my love, my capability will not change the laws, a person who is not of age requires a regent.

    Daemon sighed. The three of them were backed into a corner. They would need to fight Cunt Hightower for their own blood to rule because he was sure Otto would have a few tricks up his sleeve. What had become of their dynasty?

    "However, if the woman is married, she does not need one," Rhaenyra slipped in quietly.

    "Because her husband will act in her stead," Rhaenys offered.

    Rhaenyra smiled in agreement and had her focus on him, "Will you marry me, Uncle?"

    Or

    Daemon leaves home with a girl he adored and returns to a woman who loves him. Oddly, Rhaenyra's love is the least concerning thing which has happened to her.
