    Summary

    February is a terrible time to become an orphan. It’s an even worse time for Yuuji to become a de facto foster parent.

    But that’s probably any time, really.

    Summary

    Did anyone ask for a fan theory about the way post-canon history probably won't happen (but could!) couched as an academic conference paper? Absolutely not. Is that what this is anyway? Absolutely yes. Is this a way of me to drag GRRM for his medievalism? Also yes. Is it a way for me to express some of my big feelings about cultures of law and literacy (or the lack thereof) in Westeros? Also yes!

    "Examining how justice was understood, imagined, and enacted in the fourth century, I argue, can facilitate our understanding of what can often seem to be an overwhelmingly chaotic period, even to specialists. Moreover, analyzing the language and proliferation of legal documents in the fourth century can help fill a lacuna in the surviving chronicle evidence. I argue that formulae relating to the third hand or three hands of justice, frequently found in both charters and civic oath books, are connected to the sociopolitical developments that took place in the aftermath of the extraordinarily bloody period known to contemporary chroniclers as the Game of Thrones."

    Summary

    “CHORUS: Brave girl.
    KASSANDRA: People never say that to a lucky person, do they?” — Agamemnon, by Aeschylus (trans. Anne Carson)

    It had seemed like the bells had tolled funeral marches without end. First had been Prince Rhaegel, the King’s sickly middle son, and then his second-born, Prince Aerys. Then most shocking of all, Prince Matarys. He had only been four-and-ten, a hale and healthy princeling. With his brother Prince Valarr dead on Ashford Meadow, the primary line of succession was wiped out in a single stroke. Fools on the street began saying that House Targaryen was cursed, that the price for their incest and fornication and tyranny was finally coming due.

    (In the aftermath of the tourney at Ashford Meadow, House Targaryen reels.)

    While en-route to Oldtown, Arianne Martell takes a plunge in the River Vaith, and a different woman emerges. She knows nothing about political intrigue, refined manners, or seduction, but she does have a bone to pick with Dear Old Dad... and neither Doran, nor the Sand Snakes, nor Westeros will know what hit them.

    Summary

    “Hey,” he says, and his voice is a little higher than Johnny expected, a little breathless. He pushes his glasses up. “Uh. You need a partner? Or- I mean, I need a partner. Obviously. That’s why I’m here. At this bench. With you. Not that you’re a last resort, I just- I was getting coffee, or I had a question about the junction rule, and then I realized I was supposed to be here, so I-” He stops himself, letting out a short, self-conscious laugh. “Hi. I’m Peter.”

    He sticks out his hand, a smear of ink at the side of the thumb, nails bitten to the quick. The handshake is brief, a little too firm, and Peter’s palm is slightly calloused in a way that doesn’t quite match the scatterbrained exterior.

    “Johnny,” he says, leaning his hip against the bench and crossing his arms. “You always this composed on the first day, or am I getting a special show?”

    Johnny Storm, the only survivor of the space expedition, moves to New York. Running from the grief and the past, however, is made complicated by strange, unexplainable transformations and Peter Parker, a biophysics major harboring secrets of his own.
