  1. Summary

    By some foresight, as always, perfectly beyond him, he’s taking advantage of a liminal space, the tension between his growing mandate to remember and the old and slowly-dying ability to forget.


    You have to be a certain kind of person to manage it at all.

    Martin still wants what’s best for Jon, so he gives him to his god.

    It goes okay; relatively speaking, for a certain value of “okay”.

    (Nebulous-canon-divergence season 4 AU, but not necessarily as divergent as it looks. Started with a kinkmeme prompt, ended up here.)

    Summary

    Sometimes you take Old Norse as a language elective to flex on your fellow doctors and then you're the only person who can treat this random-ass escapee from the Yggdrasil System, and you and all the nurses in the hospital just have to deal with the crazy shit that goes on in there
    And maybe wish that you could have an intelligently designed spine.

    Summary

    They’ve been here before. Coriolanus cradling Sejanus’s face; Coriolanus close enough to share air; Coriolanus holding all of Sejanus’s broken pieces in some semblance of their original shape, saving his life, saving him from himself. They’ve been here before but something feels different this time, and Sejanus can’t fight the realization that perhaps it’s only because his eyes are finally open.

    “Why?”

    Why record his confession in the first place, he's asking, not why delete it, except he knows he doesn’t want the truth about the first question so he lets Coriolanus answer the second.

    -

    Coriolanus never sends the jabberjay. Lots of things change, but very few for the better.

    Summary

    "His tongue curled into the crevices of her. The tangy flavor stung his mouth. Sweat and poison, blackberry-sweet."

    Coriolanus can't stand watching Sejanus whispering about rebellion with Billy Taupe. Lucy Gray inspires the perfect plan: he'll poison himself so that Sejanus is forced to care for him.

    Of course there's no way anything could go horribly wrong.
