    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

    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

    In this canon-divergent retelling of Realm of the Elderlings, Fitz is reimagined as Fenn, a woman raised in secret as Chivalry’s bastard daughter. She shares Fitz’s scars and stubborn loyalty, but carries a quieter grief and a love of art that touches everything she sees.

    Two years after Fool’s Fate, the Fool returns to her cabin: battered, unsure, but no longer able to stay away.

    This is a story of reunion, of being seen without needing to change, of slow rebuilding, of choosing to stay. There are scars. A stranger watches from the woods. And the past is far from done with them.

    A love story. A reckoning. And a question: what happens when someone opens the door… and stays?

    Summary

    "Young men are so confident that there will always be more time, later... Old men know better. We remember all the times when we thought there would be more time, and there wasn’t. All the things I thought I would say to your father, someday, remain in my heart, unsaid."

    Three generations of Farseers. Three friendships that defy expectation and understanding. Three men, both young and old, with so much left to say.

    Summary

    "I knew I was a man who had narrowly avoided disaster. I did not have all the answers yet as to what would happen now, but I would find them. I would do whatever needed to be done, so long as it ensured that he would not vanish from my life. Selfishly, I did not care what effects we might have on the world. What mattered was the effect he had on me. And while I was not entirely ready to confront that, there would be time enough for all of it. I had snatched that time back from the brink of loss, and I would cling to it as tightly as we clung to each other before the weak fire in that dark room."

    Summary

    A collection of scenes written as a divergence from Golden Fool that proceeds as a novel after Chapter 3. Fitz is not dissuaded from seeking an answer regarding the Fool's gender during their confrontation at breakfast. His discovery alters their interactions as they both try to regain an equilibrium in their friendship. Time continues to move inexorably forwards, however, and each of Fitz's decisions leads to changes in the course of time. Civil unrest threatens as the Piebalds become more bold, and Fitz must protect the Prince's secret at all costs. Meanwhile, the journey to the Outislands looms ever closer. Some direct quotes are present in the early chapters to set the scene for the reader, and are cited appropriately. I do not claim ownership over any characters within and I am not making money from this fan-work.
