    Summary

    The first night Daenerys spends in Dragonstone, she finds a boy in her chambers.

    The boy is dripping wet, ruining the wooden floorboards beneath his feet. Daenerys cannot see every detail on his face, but the candlelight provides sufficient brightness to glimpse at wide, terrified eyes, an upturned nose and cheeks speckled with blood.

    —Or, the gods listen to Daenerys' prayers and decide to give her what they had taken from Rhaenyra to stop the second doom of House Targaryen. Daenerys, supported by the ghosts of Dragonstone, takes over the world with the real promised prince, her son Lucerys.

    Summary

    It takes two weeks before I feel anything but numbness about it.
    Two weeks of packing boxes, sleeping on Finn’s couch, and drinking like there’s no tomorrow. I don’t allow myself to feel much of anything about it, mostly because I’m in America and America never felt like home to me. Whenever I visit America—whether for residency or vacation—I leave my emotions behind. They rest in their own cardboard box on the highest shelf of my childhood home. They’ve never done me good in the West.
    It isn’t until I return to Europe—Olga in her carrier crate in one hand, backpack slung over my shoulder—that I feel the bubble start to return to my gut.

    Summary

    "I've earned myself a reputation / That my bark is much worse than my bite / But I keep snapping at Goliath's hands / With all of my tiny might." - The Crane Wives, 'Take Me to War'.

    “My Khal,” says Mirri, peering up at him, squinting in the dark to make out the lines of his face, the slope of his broad shoulders, his hands clenched at his side, “and if I must choose between the mother and the child?”

    He steps towards her, then, and she falls back with silent terror for an instant. But he does not seize her, only grinds out, “Save my son. He is the Stallion-Who-Mounts-the-World. He will rule the great Grass Sea and the stones of the West.”

    Ah, she thinks. And such hope I had for you, Drogo. But there is nothing. You are no shepherd, not even to a single lamb. You are the wolf, or better yet, the wild dog, and there is nothing in you but howling greed.
