    Summary

    The gown Viserra wore to meet the Khal was lavender silk, to bring out her lilac eyes. It felt too smooth, too slippery against her skin. Once, she had been a pretty little girl, doll-like and frail, with a shy, gap-toothed smile. But she was a woman grown now, two-and-twenty, and over a decade of running and hiding and fighting for every scrap of bread, respect, and recognition had worn her hard and bare.

    (Fourteen years after the Usurper's dogs destroyed her family and sent them fleeing into exile in Essos, Viserra Targaryen barters what little she has left on a desperate alliance with the Dothraki, determined to bring herself and her sister Daenerys home)

    Summary

    Courfeyrac finds the letter long Afterward, stuffed into the breast pocket of his coat--the one he'd thrown off while building the barricade, the one Feuilly had shoved into his arms just as he realized what was going on. The paper is mud-stained and wrinkled from water damage, but the words are still clear.

    Summary

    "What?" asked Coriolanus, his tone always neutral.
    Clang. That ugly rat face again. 1.97 seconds.
    "Your songbird had a baby," replied Dr Gaul, tone as always sing-songy. Coriolanus stopped with the tongs in midair, rigid. Had he understood correctly?! “It's not good for Capitol City to be aware of the... Poor composure of the people of the Districts. Beasts that mate without even waiting until they come of age…”
    Coriolanus felt himself rocking and had to appeal to every last ounce of self-control to remain upright and still. Not to be seen. Not to collapse.
    Lucy Gray, with a child?
    Lucy Gray... Lucy Gray with...?

    "... Are you all right, Mr Snow?"
    Coriolanus widened his smile and beat the tongs into the funnel with a loud clang. He took the time. 2.80 seconds.
    "Well, I'll be getting baby items," he replied, posed and courteous and light as ever.
    Inside, he was filled with fury.
    Who dared?!
