    Summary

    The Song is sung, and the Dawn is won, but the victory is bittersweet, and the cost is too high. Yet there is little that could not be done with magic if you were willing to pay the price. Dues are paid, fates are changed, and even destiny itself is covered with a shroud. AU + Time travel. Or alternately:

    The Battle for the Dawn is won, but everyone Bran knew was dead, so he throws a tantrum of epic proportions and drags Bloodraven into tossing unsuspecting and just freshly killed Jon Snow back into the past by sacrificing themselves. Messing with time makes ripples in the timeline, and some things are not the same.

    Summary

    Dwarves reveal their true names under only two circumstances:

    If they meet the One their Maker has destined them for.

    Or if they lie dying having never done so.

    Thorin is pretty sure he's doomed to the latter option.

    Summary

    This is the Accidental Warlord and His Pack series, reorganized in an order that makes a little more sense. It's not precisely chronological, since some of the backstories are set well before With a Conquering Air, but it should flow nicely.

    Summary

    "I didn't even get to say goodbye," Sansa sniffled into his tunic.
     
    "I was going to send her bones to Winterfell," Ned said slowly. "But the men found a weirwood tree near the road, about an hour north of here. They will bury her beneath it, and the old gods will watch over her."

    Lady is buried beneath a weirwood tree, and Sansa prays to the old gods for Lady to stay with her. Her prayer is answered, in a manner of speaking. Everything changes.

    Summary

    A (belated) Festivus gift to the readers of All The Little Lights that I'm working on since I have a few days off. Yes, the Jedi are celebrating a vaguely Christmas-like holiday, but it is focusing on traditions more consistent with the pagan roots that predate Christianity: people celebrating together during the darkest days of the year in hopes of the warmer days to come. We could all use some of that after what 2020 (and the COVID-19 pandemic) has been like.

    This was also inspired by my shopping for Star Wars Hallmark ornaments. I didn't put up the tree this year, but darn it, next year I have a Yoda ornament waiting to be hung.

    This is supposed to be a very silly fic, but it is in the same universe of ATLL.

     

    Please note the tags are incomplete because there may be a few of you that decided to read the monster that is All the Little Lights over the holiday, and I didn't want to spoil you. Complete tags will be in the next story. That being said, if you haven't read ATLL in it's monsterous entirety, this fic is not going to make any sense to you, and will certainly spoil the ending.

     

    Happy Holidays everyone, and let's hope we all get vaccinated soon.
