    Summary

    (a semi-AU reimagining of seasons 1 and 2)

    There are two new arrivals on East 61st St in the spring of 1882, but they couldn’t be more different.

    Marian Brook Montgomery is a penniless young widow who has come to live with her estranged aunts after the sudden deaths of both her father and husband leave her unexpectedly destitute. The deaths of both men have made her intimately aware of all the ways men can betray her. She arrives in New York grieving, hurt, and more than a little angry, looking for a friend and a fresh start.

    Larry Russell, the son of one of New York's richest men, is newly home from Harvard, determined to make his own way in the world — and have more than a little fun while he’s at it. When he becomes friends with the prettiest young widow he's ever met (Larry likes widows), he thinks she might be open to (a lot) more than friendship. Turns out this was a major mistake.

    After getting off (...or not) on the wrong foot, they keep bumping into each other, gradually becoming friends...and then falling in love. Too bad Larry's sleeping with the wrong widow & Marian's being courted by Tom Raikes.

    Summary

    What Sasuke Uchiha wants is an indeterminate EC-02 Step 2 position with the Canada Mortgage and Housing Corporation that offers a decent salary, health benefits, paid vacation, and a manager who won't break all his Excel spreadsheets. What he gets is Naruto Uzumaki, an improbably attractive and unbearably annoying co-op student who eats way too much instant ramen and doesn't understand that "casual Friday" doesn't mean varsity sweatpants.

    Summary

    Instead of being broken apart by Alicent's betrothal, her and Rhaenyra hatch a plan to leave court behind for good. They must chart their own destiny in the far east, slowly building up a new home while freeing the downtrodden of Slaver's Bay. But the long shadow of the crown never quite leaves them, especially when an age later a Westerosi messenger arrives with grave tidings.
