Summary
The immediate firing of his neural network lights Cortana's awareness alive. Dopamine, serotonin, and norepinephrine bombard her — the chemical reaction is enough to make her code swim. His vitals hitch and the AI tries to gain her metaphorical footing. Then: your voice.
"Good afternoon, Master Chief. Step up when you're ready."
A flood of liquid, golden Oxytocin makes Cortana's not-there-mouth run dry.
John offers a cordial nod to you. His face is set into a hard mask. "Thank you, Petty Officer."
...Oh.
...Admire from afar, indeed.

Summary
“Permission to ask you a personal question, ma’am?”
“Granted, sir. What’s on your mind?”
“Am I…hard to talk to? To be around?”
“What would make you think that, sir?” You inquired, trying to keep your face neutral.
He swallowed hard.
“Talking about the demise of a friendship made me think about my own interpersonal relationships, and I can’t say for sure if anyone outside of my team would even call me a good friend. If they’re even allowed to. Not sure if anyone could ever…”He stumbled over his words a bit before trailing off, rubbing his fingers through his short cropped hair before resting his forehead against his palms.
“Could ever what, sir?” you leaned forward in your chair and watched him. He looked uncomfortable, anxious almost.
“Love me.”

Summary
What would have happened, if Tywin Lannister decided to wed Daenerys Targaryen? What if Dany was forced to marry the Old Lion, instead of Khal Drogo? How would the history of Westeros change?
Lord of Casterly Rock understood that King Robert was no good for the realm, if those 3 million gold dragons the crown had in debt with the Lannisters was any proof. He switched his eyes to the East, over the Narrow Sea. He will wed the last Targaryen and bring his house to its highest glory.
How would history change, if Jon Arryn had sent a raven to Casterly Rock before he died?
All credit goes to George R.R. Martin. This story is different from the original, although most characters are the ones from GOT.

Summary
She was gone. Dead. Or so they thought. But Eywa had other plans.
After the battle at the reef, Spider mourned the mother he never truly knew. Miles Quaritch buried the memory of the woman who once softened his edges. But deep beneath the ocean's rhythms, Eywa was weaving a different story.
Transformed into an Avatar and kept in a deep sleep, she washes ashore on the Metkayina beach reborn, but blank. No memories. No name. Ronal takes her in. sensing Eywa's hand. Kiri begins to dream of her. Eywa whispers through visions, urging them to help her remember.
And far away, Quaritch begins to dream too. Of her. Of the life he lost. Eywa reaches into his recombinant mind, showing him the truth: she's alive. And waiting.
Now, Quaritch must return to the reef not as a soldier, but as a man seeking redemption. But she doesn't remember him. Or spider. Or herself.Bookmarked by Dea10_Phoenix
