Stepping into the foamy surf, gasping at the force of it, the surprise of it—it had been breathtaking. Thomas had been that for him, his boundless sea, and he wasn’t ashamed.

Not So Lonely, Not So Long a Life by Perfunctorily
Fandoms: A Song of Ice and Fire - George R. R. Martin

Summary
He looked south, over the pines of the nameless wood of the Gift, down the Kingsroad, south and south. Somewhere out there, south and away lay a city by the sea called Oldtown, somewhere in that city lay a brothel where he no longer had a place. He supposed he had no place here either, on this great horrible block of ice they called a wall. But it was to be his life all the same, the long and lonely life of a brother of the Watch. Maybe the Wall was not one of the hells. Maybe some men were here that didn’t deserve it. But Satin did.

Summary
Some days, Castiel wonders if he should never have healed Dean at all.
Because now Dean has nothing to wrestle with, no physical pain to nurse, no slowly-mending fractured ribs to remind him that his brother and his sacrifice were real, that Sam Winchester saved the world and that Dean was a part of that fight. He's a blank slate, and it's Castiel's fault. Without pain to ground him, center him, do whatever it is that pain has done for Dean Winchester his entire life, he erodes, steadily and quietly, until Castiel no longer recognizes him, and has no one to blame for his loss but himself.
* * *
In which they stopped the Apocalypse, but Dean is steadily falling apart after losing his brother, and Castiel is doing everything in his power to try to get them back on a path to normal.

Summary
Dean’s your typical half-orphaned, monster-killing 22-year-old until a trenchcoated stranger crashes into his back windshield one September night, claiming he’s an angel that knows him from the future and that he’s on the run.
Frigging fantastic.
(Or, in which Castiel gets stuck in Dean’s timeline preseries and Dean kind of hates it—until he doesn’t.)

Summary
"Please don't tell me Louis dumped you and now you're fucking with my work to get back at him."
Armand blinks. He appears confused by the notion, the same way Louis looked puzzled when Daniel called Armand his boyfriend. Maybe, Daniel thinks as he watches a minute frown appear on Armand's brow, a little annoyed as well. "You insist on judging us by mortal standards. Louis has been my companion for seventy years, and we have eternity to look forward to."
"If he used the words I need some space, that means he dumped you. You can ask Reddit if you don't trust me."
After a month in Dubai, Daniel Molloy is back home and miraculously alive, eager to get to work on his first draft. The vampire Armand has other plans.

Summary
What was the Night’s Watch? Protection from nothing. The shadow of a wall. A cell in the open air for men with problems.
What was the Night’s Watch? A home for orphans and cutthroats and sad old men. An imaginary line in the sand, in the soil, in the sea. Towers made of rust. A set of words, named oaths, that singed your skin. A gaol, or maybe a noose. Likely both.
Castle Black is a pot boiling over. The great ranging has left a paltry force behind, Grenn is gone, and Pyp is having bad dreams.Bookmarked by worthingtons

Summary
One of the women at his brothel who’d helped raise him was from Lys. She worshipped a love god named Yndros that was both male and female at once, and she was the most beautiful woman in all of Oldtown, or so Satin thought when he was seven. Once, he’d asked her how you were supposed to pray to Yndros, and she smiled serenely and said in a fading accent, “You don’t, sweetling. You just have to allow yourself to love and be loved. That’s what prayer is.” She dabbed at his nose with a cloth. “When we love, boy, that’s the gods speaking back to us. In their sweet tongues.”
She was killed in an alley a year later.
Satin finds himself in a precarious new position. If it weren't such an honour, it might prove desperately inconvenient.Bookmarked by worthingtons

Last Serving Daughter by dwellingondreams

Summary
"No hope in the air, / No hope in the water, / Not even for me, / Your last serving daughter." - Laura Marling, 'Hope in the Air.'
Gwen brings to mind Quellon’s doomed reforms and the stares and gossip that followed him, once the most renowned and famed of all Ironborn, at the end of his life. How the mighty have fallen. Balon will be glad to be rid of her; once she’s married, she’s no longer his responsibility, even if she’s widowed. He doesn’t want to have to so much look at her again, not anymore than he did after the Rebellion, when she did nothing but weep and cling to his increasingly unhinged wife.
…The greenlanders were formed from clay and sand and mud, and once you dunk them in water, they crumble and drown. The Ironborn were forged from stone and steel; their God loves them so that He made them unbreakable, undaunted, undefeated. Except when they are defeated. And then He loves them a little less.
(In which Quellon's final child by his last wife, a stillborn daughter, survives.)

Summary
"I dance in dangerous fables, walk a woods with trees white as bone. It's always winter and I'm always pressing my face against something warm with blood." - Yasmin Belkhyr, 'Blizzard'.
“Men die,” Barbrey tells her, bone-white with anger, eyes flashing. “Men die, Donella. Should Stark’s boy not sire a son on you, and if the Bastard has the Dreadfort-,”
“You speak as if Robb Stark were in fragile health,” Nell rolls her eyes. “You’re being paranoid.”
“Willam was in excellent health until he rode off to his death at Ned Stark’s side,” Barbrey hisses. “Do you think he did not promise me we would have children and a long life together before he left? Do you think he did not promise to come back to me? You cannot know what the future might bring. My lord husband survived a war only to die in Dorne. Men and their promises are not your safety nor your refuge. Land is. Power is. Never forget that.”
(In which Nell Bolton contends with both her mother's bloodstained legacy and her father's bloodthirsty bastard, and along the way claims a beast for a bridegroom.)

Summary
Jon Arryn, revered and respected Hand of the King, is dead.

This is the story of those thirty years in the middle.
(Or: Tom Kazansky rises through the ranks while trying to stay a good man. If he ever was one to begin with.)
