Summary
“You are the Lord Incognito of the Murky Depths, Good Counselor, and God of Death and Darkness,” Neuvillette observes.
If the God of Death is surprised that he is known, he does not show it. Instead, he offers Neuvillette a lopsided smile. “And you are the Font of All Life. Focalors’ most enduring secret.”
“Perhaps not so good a secret if you have found me.”
A strange rot over takes the golden fields of Elysium, compelling Wriothesley to seek out Neuvillette, held in bondage to Focalors and all the gods of Celestia.

Summary
“That’s not childish.” If he had a heart, he’s sure it would be pounding. “That’s the definition of peace. The soul’s greatest desire. It is never too far out of reach.”
“Isn’t it?” Phainon whispers, but his brow gentles, posture relaxing into the chilly night's air. “And what is it you desire, Anaxa?”
A touch, as the baby dromas snuggles close, and for one fleeting moment, an image crosses his thoughts. Watching the sunset, satisfied from a day fulfilled by the gentle touch of companionship and a homecooked meal. They'd have a home, together.
“Peace,” Anaxa says eventually. “I, too, desire peace.”
Anaxagoras has fifteen days left to alter the course of Amphoreus' history for good, and he's resigned every hour to it wreathed in the slow and agonizing deterioration of a body that is already dead. The plan was to spend the brunt of it alone, in the solitary halls of his quarters.
The plan did not include Phainon, who shows up at his door in the middle of the night, asking for a place to stay.
or: Anaxa is dying. Phainon disagrees.

how to train your aemond targaryen—er, dragon by Spencebox
Fandoms: House of the Dragon (TV)
12 Aug 2024
Tags
Summary
Dragons have always claimed their riders.
“It is a myth to believe that we claim our dragons, Luke. We cannot control or sway their hearts. Syrax gifted me her scale that day and this as well,” pulling up her right sleeve, she showed him the healed scar on her forearm, “and we’ve never parted since. It is no simple feat to be claimed,” she cautioned. “Others have died for even attempting to go near one. In some ways, you are lucky to be alive.”
Luke pulled away from his mother's embrace and wondered if falling from a tower was a better fate than the one that had befallen him.
He needed a dragon to his name. That way, no one would whisper about his bastard blood tainting the family tree.

Drunk and Stupid (but painfully honest) by entowento

Summary
Whatever Ratio had drunk, it must have been strong for him to be acting like this. “Yeah, Doc, it’s time you go to sleep-”
“I love you.”
Aventurine’s head whipped back into place to face Ratio. Those words couldn’t be real. Not coming out of Ratio’s mouth, and not directed towards Aventurine. He needed confirmation. He needed confirmation that this was real, he wasn’t dreaming, he wasn’t insane, he was here, he was real and that actually happened. Because not even in his wildest dreams would something as impossible as this occur. Desperately, Aventurine seized Ratio’s arms which were loosening around him as he looked to him for validation.
Aventurine stared at him in horror.
Ratio was passed out.
◇─◇──◇─◇
A drunk Ratio admits he loves Aventurine. Only Aventurine remembers the confession by the next morning.

Summary
Here was the risk that Ratio had been anticipating. He made a move to enter, but beyond the doorless opening he heard a sound.
“Dr. Ros.” It was Aventurine. Ratio suppressed a groan. How could he be so stupid? Didn’t he know that this room was what Eosphoros-I was famous for? He prepared to stride inside and drag whoever was there out to a proper meeting room—
—before he stopped short at the sight of himself.
On a distant planet slated for IPC acquisition, there exists a room designed to extract one’s deepest desires.

Summary
Just as Kaveh turns away from the orange tree, Alhaitham’s mother blooms into a heartfelt laugh, a soft and melodic sound like the distant ringing of wind chimes. And he realizes that Alhaitham inherited his mother’s laugh, too.
“You truly love him,” she says in between chuckles. “Deeply and devastatingly so.”
Kaveh can’t help but burst into laughter himself, “Am I really that obvious?”
She nods, “You want to marry my son.”
“I do.”
Before proposing, Kaveh decides to find a way to meet with Alhaitham's family in order to properly ask for Alhaitham's hand in marriage.

Summary
Neuvillette knows little of what it means to be a dragon; he has spent his entire life among the people of Fontaine. Everything he does know about dragons, he has uncovered himself through trial and error and the occasional bit of obscure research. But this, at least, he recognizes.
Mating instincts.
By protecting him, the duke is behaving like a dragon seeking a mate, and that has triggered Neuvillette’s own instincts to judge the duke’s adequacy.
When Wriothesley begins acting like a dragon courting his mate, Neuvillette finds himself torn between duty and desire.

"Will you have to dance, too?"
Neuvillette's eyebrows dip together, a grimace threatening to form. He holds it back with all his might. "With every aristocrat in the vicinity, I suppose," he grumbles, "This is truly a nightmare. I cannot begin to tell you how uncomfortable that makes me."
"Would you be uncomfortable dancing with me?"
Neuvillette takes up on Duke Wriothesley's offer to be his escort during a ball.

Summary
The Sabzeruz Festival repeats again and again, and Alhaitham is forced to remember every day for as long as the Akademiya feels like continuing their dream harvest. He learns something about Kaveh in the process, and maybe a little something about himself, too.
"I keep coming back to you,” He laughed, but it came out nervous. “How sad is that?”
“Sad?”
Kaveh picked at the grass below him, keeping his head down. “You don’t love me. You never will.”

Summary
After an accident at work, Kaveh sort of dies. But he is granted a chance to come back to life if he can get three people to shed tears of pure love for him. He thinks that would be easy, since he has so many friends, but soon realises that it's not as easy as he thought it would be.
Meanwhile, a grieving Alhaitham is very confused by this new stranger in Sumeru City who acts so much like Kaveh, but is not Kaveh.
“Well, I promise you, Kaveh will be very okay with it. I’m sure of it.”
“If I’m not convinced, will you be suddenly bringing me a letter allegedly written by Kaveh that expresses his agreement?” Alhaitham asked with a raised eyebrow.
“That letter was written by Kaveh. One hundred percent. I don’t know why you keep doubting me,” Kaveh insisted.
Alhaitham hummed to himself. “Just wanted to see how you’d react.”Series

Summary
People keep coming up to Kaveh to congratulate him. Kaveh doesn’t really know why, and he’s a little too scared to ask at this point, so he heads back home, content if not a little bemused.
He is, unfortunately, reminded of it the very next day, when the door slams open and Al-Haitham stalks in. “Mind telling me why everyone was congratulating me today?” he demands. “About your pregnancy?"
Or: Al-Haitham is, without a doubt, the most annoying person Kaveh knows. Maybe the world’s second-most annoying person can help Kaveh figure him out.

Summary
“Oh, right – Alhaitham.” Kaveh claps a hand to his forehead. “Cyno, if you see him at the Akademiya tomorrow, don’t mention this to him, would you? I haven’t told him yet.”
“Told him?” Cyno asks slowly, a wary glint in his eye. “What exactly haven’t you told him?”
“That I’m getting married,” Kaveh grimaces. “I wanted to tell him myself – I suppose I do want him at the wedding after all, you know – but I didn’t get a chance yet. You know what it’s like, trying to have a conversation with him.”
It is a truth universally acknowledged that a single man in possession of a good fortune must be in want of a wife.
Kaveh is a single man. That's about it, really.or: the one in which Kaveh gets married, but not to whom you think.
