    Summary

    It’s just that she’s known Shauna so long the idea of not having some piece of her around is foreign, almost to the point of being disorienting. Like she’d woken up, only to discover that she’d forgotten how to walk.

    So, she has this: seven digits, scribbled in brand new pen, tucked away for her to take out and run her fingers over whenever she’s feeling sentimental.

    Jackie starts calling Shauna from Rutgers with… interesting results.

    Summary

    Jeff has been confused about the two (three) of them for so long. Turns out, the answer has been right in front of face. He just couldn't see it.

    But he definitely hears it.

    OR

    The one where the only time Jeff gets Jackie there is because of Shauna. And the only reason he gets Shauna there at all is because of Jackie.

    Summary

    Hooves are not what wake Jon in the middle of the night, pulse racing and hands clammy with sweat.

    It’s fire. Orange and angry, eating away at houses and shops and shacks in his dream. Even now that he is awake, Jon can still taste burnt flesh on the back of his tongue. The wounds from his brother’s mutiny and Drogon’s gouge, frozen only hours ago, burn white.


    War leaves everyone broken, Jon perhaps most of all. Sansa finds even peacetime requires letting go.

    Summary

    You can have me.

    Haruka wants to say it so badly, but she bites her tongue. She already ran her mouth today, about how she and Michiru have no need to prove their feelings. They have that covered, with or without some contest. That’s what she told them all, right? Something so implicit that it doesn’t need to be said, least of all to each other.

    To let insecurity creep in now, to yearn for confessions from Michiru’s soft lips—that would just make Haruka a hypocrite. No, she’s content to swallow her words, to trap stray feelings behind her teeth.

    --

    After the Affection Contest, Michiru invites Haruka over.

    He knows that he shouldn’t, knows that he is the Lord Commander of the Night's Watch, and that there are certain customs to which he must abide.

    He knows these things very well, but he finds he does not care.
