Summary
“So,” Aang grins despite himself. “We have matching scars.”
Zuko allows himself a wry smile.
Avatar or not, this human embodiment of light and peace, restorer of worlds, bridge of spirits - this force to be reckoned with is still, just a kid.

Summary
"I don't believe my will's quite free/I'm half machine, at least half steam./Aquinas, call on me." - Dessa, 'Velodrome'.
“I have a letter we must speak about,” he says, and after a moment’s hesitation, reads it aloud, slowly and clearly, to her.
Aemma stares at him blankly, only registering that it is a letter from the King. She thinks she met the King once, when she was very small and he and his family visited. She couldn’t have been any older than four or five. It was before Prince Duncan ran off with that peasant girl and gave up his rights to the throne. Now it will go to his brother, Prince Jaehaerys. Septa says he was mad for love. Aemma can’t comprehend of such a thing, but then again, she has never fallen in love, and she certainly hopes the first man she falls for is not poor and lowborn, no matter how pretty his looks.
“Aemma,” Father says, gently, “the letter is about you and Prince Maegor.”
(Jon Arryn's daughter by Jeyne Royce survives. Aegon V seeks a marriage into a loyal house for his troublesome nephew. Chaos ensues.)

Summary
“My featherbed,” she sings out in tune to the burble of the stream, picking her way along the rotting tree trunk jutted across it, hearing the pleasant creak and groan of wood, muffled by the moss, “is deep and soft, and there-,” she loses her footing for an instant; her leather boots are worn soft as a kid, and while they’re as comfortable as they’ll ever be, it can lead a woman to slip, even one as light-footed as she.
They don’t call her Fawn round these parts for nothing.
(In which Wenda the White Fawn and the Smiling Knight pull a Bonnie & Clyde).

Summary
This Week Exclusive: Is Talia Head betraying Gotham’s Prince, Bruce Wayne, with the city’s Nightly Vigilant, the Batman?
“Batman,” Talia all but purred, “I’m a married woman, you know.”Bruce—Batman, for that matter stopped for a moment, hands still in the wheel.
It seemed that anyone with half a brain and half an hour of internet per day could type down a URL and set up a blog. At least Bruce had only to deal with some (very shady, incredibly and absolutely non-professional) actual journalists so far, which (usually) had some decency to tune down their fantasies when writing about the capes flying between edifices.
But, as Bruce let himself drink of his (Wayne’s) wife, leaning by the window of the Batmobile, in some dark and forgotten alley in Gotham, almost at three AM, Bruce couldn’t deny it had some appeal, after all.
