    Summary

    Fitz makes a single, fateful choice and drastically alters the trajectory of both his and the Fool’s future. But having made his decision, can he live with it? When both desires of the heart and voices from the past begin reaching for him, Fitz must decide which path he will choose - will he take the one foretold to him by the Fool, or forge a destiny of his own making?

    Summary

    I was exhausted from the late night with Chade and Kettricken and could scarcely imagine the walk to the Witness Stones, let alone the nauseating voyage through the Skill-pillar, and the icy destination. The Fool will be there, I reminded myself. He’s waiting for apricots.
    I looked down at my basket, which did not contain apricots.

    In a rare moment of caution, Fitz realizes that he is not well enough to travel through the Skill-pillars. He takes a week so that the Fool can heal, and during this time, Fitz tries to come to terms with his 17-year-old memories and emotions that have returned to his 34-year-old life.

    Updates weekly (may need to skip a rare week for IRL reasons).

    Summary

    “Do we have to go?” I asked at last, the words falling from my mouth like rocks. My spouse universally loved parties, and Springfest was her favorite. I knew I might enjoy myself once we arrived, but I dreaded going. My family would be there, and all Buckfort had been invited. We should go.
    Still, I did not want to.

    A Western AU where Fitz has to, horror of horrors, go to a Springfest party at the local saloon with his family. There will be complaining, dancing, cards of various types, coffee, and Fitz's silly opinions about beer.

    No real plot spoilers, but there are character spoilers through GF.

    Summary

    Set a year and a half on from the events of Assassin's Quest. Fitz, Kettricken and Chade find a way to restore Verity to human form. But the task leaves Fitz broken in mind and body. World weary, Fitz withdraws to his cabin in the woods to live in isolation for several months until King Verity seeks him out and drags him back to Buckeep.
    ---
    Verity was my absolute favourite character of the series and I just couldn't get enough of these two. So here is the Fitz & Verity centered fic I always wanted read, but could never find. Where Verity gets his happy ending and finally has enough time to help our boy Fitz deal with his host of PTSD and abandonment issues. Slow paced exploration of Fitz and Verity's relationship

    Summary

    Se o mundo fosse feito de panos, Samuel seria feliz. Desde pequeno, ele gostava de imaginar que já era. Existia segurança nisso.

    Com poucos recursos e muito zelo, seu pai costuraria os panos até que os pontos sumissem no meio da trama. A dor viraria uma camisa engomada e os corações partidos se tornariam lindos exemplares de seda vermelha espelhada.
    Ele exaltaria os detalhes, aproveitando cada retalho, enxergando beleza onde alguns só viam fios desfiados, e criaria a partir da perda, aquilo que somente ele vira potencial para trazer à vida.

    E foi assim, que Altar Rivera bordou seu legado de alfaiate pelas ruas de pedra de Vilamonte. Não qualquer alfaiate: o melhor. E não era exagero. Prometeu ao filho, certa vez, que com uma agulha e uma linha, ele poderia fazer qualquer coisa se tornar possível. Ser qualquer coisa. Disse que podia consertar tudo. E Samuel acreditou.

    Era mentira, é claro.

    Quem sabe se o mundo fosse realmente feito de panos, como deveria ser, a história fosse outra.

    Só que essa, na verdade, é a história de um jovem mercador.

    Que um dia, precisou se casar.

    Summary

    I wanted to flee but I also wanted to close the distance. My body was trapped between two opposite desires.

    That guard’s comment was just one of many I’d had to overlook throughout the years about the nature of our relationship. We always had been more.

    I often thought about it. It wasn't the first time after all. We’d already happened to share intimacy once. Alcohol might have been involved but the desires were there all the same.

    I knew I could never love a man like I loved a woman, but I also knew I could never love any woman like I loved him.

    Summary

    Go north.

    Those had been Paragon’s words to me, on that fateful morning. I had nearly made my peace with the fate of leaving my Catalyst to trace his own path, unencumbered by the oppressive nudge of my cruel hand, steering the narrative of his life to my leisure. Reality, as usual, had imposed itself: I must once more meddle with his life again, plunging him into danger and hoping to pull him back, unscathed. If only I could persuade him to take back that role.

    This time, on Aslevjal, it is my turn to die.

    I had lost count of how many days had passed since the Fool had said those words to me. Though Chade’s grim promises of forbidding the Fool from sailing into his life’s purpose – a Convergence, he had called it – had soothed the worst of my raging fears, the words of the Fool’s final prophecy lurked untamed in the dark crevices of my mind. I needed only close my eyes to see their fiery brand on the back of my eyelids, flashing brighter the closer the day of our departure. In the throes of that fear, I knew only this: I musn't allow it to be.

    Summary

    It filled her with wounded indignation that Fitz thought his sorrow so much more important than hers. As if Nettle hadn't spent sixteen more years with Molly, sixteen years Fitz had voluntarily given away. As if Molly was Fitz's mother, the only one he'd ever known. But she wasn't, and she never had been. She was Nettle's mother, and yet Nettle was simply expected to wake up every morning and go on anyway while Fitz drowned in enough grief to kill all of them seven times over.

    In the aftermath of an untimely loss, Nettle reflects on her parents, her marriage, and the endless intricacies of familial love.

    Summary

    'For a second, Althea seemed to reconsider her words, then directed Amber an inquiring glance. “You will travel with us to Bingtown, of course? Now that you’ve seen the blasted things, well, I can tell you there is not much else to be done in Cassarick.”

    I expected the Fool to deflect, finding a polite but definite way to end this encounter and convince the woman we were quite determinately northward bound. He opened his mouth – or Amber did –, and I knew my expectation would be in vain while he searched his mind for words to say.

    “I would love nothing more,” Amber said, in her dreamy, wistful tone. It was the honesty in her voice, perhaps, that drove the knife the deepest into me.'

     

    In spite of the Fool's protestations, FitzChivalry follows after the two Prophets as they depart from Aslevjal, headed to Clerres. Tension grows within the small company; separated from Prilkop and stranded in the Rain Wilds, the Fool runs into an unexpected friend, very conveniently captain to a nearby anchored liveship. Though still harboring hopes to bring Beloved safely back to the Six Duchies, Fitz is forced to confront hard truths about his friend and, most importantly, himself.

    Summary

    One of the things about manhood I learned from my father is that it’s a solitary experience, a land of silences and understatements, a place where a lot of important things have to be learned alone. Whereas womanhood, a lot of the time, is a thing you get to share.

    - Stuck in the Middle with You, by Jennifer Finney Boylan

    Or; Fitz has feelings about gender. Other people have opinions.

    Summary

    “Pelides,” they cheered for me. Peleus’s son. “Aristos Achaion,” they screamed, best of the Achaeans, best of the Greeks. Sometimes, they chanted the name my parents gave me, “Achilleos.” In the cacophony of voices, it shortened and blurred, their impatient tongues gliding the vowels together.
    Even if they had slowed their speech, it would not have been my name, for I had been granted a truer one over a decade ago, when my mouth first graced his in the rocky meadow by Chiron’s cave.

    A retelling of the Iliad where Fitz is Achilles and Beloved is Patroclus. The war has raged on this beach for ten years with no sign of ending.

    Contains references (and spoilers) to the Farseer trilogy and Tawny Man trilogy (primarily RA and FF).

    Summary

    She had thought once that her loneliness had meaning, that it had a purpose. A true White Prophet was not to be a permanent fixture in other’s lives, this she knew, for this was what Clerres had taught her. The work was never simple, but it was straightforward: find the one she needed to, and set him on his course – whatever the cost. Their fates were intertwined, interlocked, and one could not go where the other would not stray, not until the change had been wrought. And that was all; White Prophets could not form attachments, they could not allow the world to hurt them as it did humans. Amber knew this.

    How lucky she was to be wrong.
