Summary
He blamed the wine for the trip of his steps as he climbed to the podium, and the way he hiccuped when the performer asked for his name.
"Well, we know you won't be the new victor of the reach." the other tribute chuckled when Aegon was in earshot.
The performer turned back to the crowd. "Take a good look at the champions of the Reach." he said, bowing his head to the crowd.
Aegon's eyes suddenly landed on the green card with Daeron's name which the man dismissively threw on the table. His eyes widened when he realised the shape and the texture of the card was completely different from the rest of the cards in the bowl. All as if the man was meant to pull his brother's name out even when blinded.
OR
In which the Targaryens hold the annual fight to the death games to find a victor, a white cloak, or any man worth his sword. Aegon knows none of the tribute are chosen just by luck when Daeron's name was pulled from the bowl. Now he truly knows his royal father has abandoned them, and the lives of him and his siblings are all in danger under the watchful eye of king Jaehaerys the first.

Summary
“Magic is all about balance. It’s why [Tamlin] couldn’t interfere with your bargain with Rhysand. Even the person who tries to sever the bargain faces consequences. If he’d kept you here, the magic that bound you to Rhys might have come to claim his life as payment for yours. Or the life of someone else he cared about. It’s old magic—old and strange. It’s why we avoid bargains unless it’s necessary: even the scholars at the Day Court don’t know how it works. Believe me, I’ve asked.”
—Lucien, A Court of Wings and RuinHelion encounters Lucien in the Day Court libraries researching bargaining magic. Set sometime during ACOMAF.

Summary
It was probably a good thing that no one assumed that Mel and Frank could possibly be dating. They had agreed to keep it a secret, after all.
But, come on. Not one rumor? Really?
It was starting to piss Frank off.

Summary
Things have been good, lately.
Trinity has been good. She likes going to work—likes the thrill of particularly difficult cases, likes the easy back-and-forth she’s starting to build with her coworkers, even likes arguing with Langdon. She likes her little apartment and she likes that she gets to share it with Dennis. (It’s way cleaner, now, and she eats real food half the time. And she has something to do in the evenings other than think about everything she’s lost).
Things have been good.
She should’ve fucking known what would happen if she let her guard down.
~~~
Trinity is cornered on her way home from work. She gets out of it with a stab wound and a whole new wave of old trauma. (And of course, her least favorite coworker is the only one there to talk her down.)

Summary
“So listen,” Robby says, “I heard you’ve uh, well, that you’re living with Dr. King. Is there any truth to that statement?”
Frank groans.
“Yeah, yes, I’m living with her,” he says and Robby gets that crazy look in his eyes so Frank barrels on, “It’s not like that. Robby it’s not,” and Robby doesn’t look like he believes him one bit. “I’m living in her spare room and I pay her rent. We’re roommates. That’s not a crime.”
or: frank gets out of rehab, gets divorced, and needs somewhere to live. enter mel.
