    Summary

    Welcome to most AU to ever AU (some weird bastard hybrid of high fantasy and sci-fi).

    Alicent comes from the most patriarchal nonsense world imaginable, and her planet (Westeros) began a war with Rhaenyra’s planet (Valyria) because Criston Cole is a homophobic ass.
    Following the war’s end, Rhaenyra realizes during treaty negotiations that Alicent (Cole’s fourth wife) is living her worst married life, and so demands that Alicent remain on Valyria as a sign of goodwill.
    Alicent is scared out of her mind (Rhaenyra gained a terrifying reputation during the war) and traumatized beyond belief.
    Rhaenyra is determined to show Alicent that she isn’t a threat (while also dealing with her own baggage on the side).

    In short, this is a hurt/comfort, eventual romance slow burn wherein Alicent finally gets some therapy and Rhaenyra just wants to hug her and wrap her up in a warm blanket (as do we all).

    They will eventually fall in love.

    Or:
    Rhaenicent set on a world I’ve spent the past 20+ years building because I have no life or chill.

    Summary

    In the aftermath of everything, the scars of thirty-three lashes heavy on his back, Lan Wangji walks.

    He walks through a land ravaged by war, by hunger, by death and sheer neglect, walks through a land that the Cultivation world all but forgets in their own haste to rebuild. He upholds justice, protects the weak. Lives with his regrets.

    And then, in a small village South of Qishan, he finds Wei Ying - Alive, smiling, and asking Lan Wangji for his name.

    Summary

    As soon as Aubrey Thyme, psychotherapist, had opened her office door and seen her new client, Anthony J. Crowley, sitting in her waiting area, she was observing and assessing him. At first glance, she paid attention to the following:

    --His clothing was expensive and stylish;
    --He wore very strange but noticeable cologne;
    --His relationship to the seat he occupied could only, very loosely, be described as “sitting;”
    --He looked angry;
    --He was wearing sunglasses.

    What Aubrey Thyme, a professional, thought, upon first seeing her new client was: you’re going to be a fun one, aren’t you?

    Summary

    “Oh spirits,” Azula says, grinning widely. The Water Tribe is full of idiots. “You don’t want to marry Zuko, he’s useless. Also, he’s already engaged.”

    “He is?” Yue blinks at her.

    “Of course he is, he’s going to be the Fire Lord, he’s been engaged since he was twelve,” Azula says. A useless Fire Lord who she’s going to have to prop up, if not outright usurp, but Fire Lord all the same.

    The things she does for this family, she swears.
