Summary
Tywin Lannister toured the Westerlands, crushing the rebellion of the vassal House Moreland in passing. He spared the lord's daughter in a rare act of mercy, taking her back to Casterly Rock as his ward.
"My brother is not a man of sentiment," Kevan remarked privately at the time. "Though it is a pity; that girl has a head that belongs on a Lannister's neck."
But Casterly Rock never lacked for clever nobodies with nothing to their names. It was a passing comment, soon forgotten.Years later, when Tywin announced that his widowed ward would marry into House Lannister, the West envied her fortune. They saw her as a living testament to Lannister benevolence, a golden symbol of luck.
Only Kevan lay awake all night.
"I thought you admired her," his sister Genna marveled. "Now that she’s truly becoming one of us, why do you look as if doom is upon us?"
"You don't understand... it is already too late," Kevan said bleakly. "I should have killed her myself back then."Bookmarked by leserin

Summary
Harry assumes the weight of a Legacy long forgotten and, with the help of an unlikely ally, conquers both time and (a truly astounding number of) Machiavellian plots to get the training and knowledge he needs to win a war.
Certain adult wizards think they have everything planned out, but Fate and Destiny aren't matters one can manipulate to their own ends. Fate is forged; her warriors rise above and beyond all-- including mundane things like expectations.
(And also Physics. The Laws of Reality and Rules of Magic were meant to be broken. Shattered. Semantics.)

Summary
Detective Brian O’Conner was an oddity among UC operatives.
And for a simple, but also complex reason:
The best UCs were rootless.
They had no ties, no responsibilities or connections outside of their work to bog them down or trouble their minds during an operation.
The best UCs could let everything else go and sink into their roles for however long was required to take down their targets.
Of course, this also had a side-effect of risking the best UCs to going “native” or sinking so far into their roles that they turn from excellent officers of the law into the most frustrating criminals to catch as they end up creating the bonds that they lack outside of the job with the same targets they’re supposed to be spying on and gathering evidence to lock away.
Brian O’Conner was an oddity in that not only was he one of the best UCs in the Los Angeles Police Department’s stable of officers, but he also had not only ties to life outside his work but potentially the strongest ones around:
Brian O’Conner was soulmarked.
And not merely once but five times.- Language:

Summary
This series explores two intertwined narratives: the adventures of time-traveling Obi-Wan and the reactions from the core, particularly the Jedi. It presents a Jedi-positive perspective but challenges the traditional notion of Jedi training. The series questions the importance of time in training versus the impact of experiences on a Jedi's potency. Drawing on examples from Legends, canon, and games, I posit that the skills of a Jedi could be taught to adults/teenagers in a relatively short time. It’s the mastery of self that would take the most time, and ultimately why the late-modern Republic’s Jedi training started with children.
