    Summary

    In the year 1857 AC the journal of the king that solidified the rule of the Baratheon dynasty was found. The surprisingly frank and direct journal entries give Dr. Hedda Barath a rather unique insight in what life was in Westeros 1500 years ago.

     

    With growing unease, I note that the so venerated Maesters at Oldtown have started to adjust the events of my reign in a nearly utopian narration. Gone are the mistakes I made in my reign, gone are the hunger and thirst, the blood and the sickness, only the glory and honorable deaths are left. Nothing of the cravenness in my own ranks, instead the only ones that were craven were my enemies. Men and women that stood opposite me are demonized into fantasy. I cannot abide this farce, I simply cannot. So in these last days before the Stranger takes me too I will attempt to give an account of my life, the events that shaped me and my rule.
     

    King Joffrey Baratheon, First of his name, King of the Andals, the Rhoynar, and the First Men, Lord of the Seven Kingdoms, Protector of the Realm.

    Summary

    Glenn and Daryl meet right after the outbreak. If the dead rising to eat the living wasn't weird enough, things take and ever weirder turn after a bit of military bureaucracy at the refugee camp leaves them listed as partners in a civil union.

    --

    “The hell you doin’ out here deliverin’ pizzas if there’s a state of emergency been declared?” Daryl asked. He pushed some of the empty beer cans away, listening to them fall to the floor in a clatter, as he made room to sit his ass down on the seat opposite Glenn.

    “Uh, I’ve got rent to pay and student loans for the degree I never finished,” Glenn replied, taking a bite of his pizza and chewing. “You really haven’t heard anything?”

    “Been out in the middle of bumfuck nowhere the last two weeks,” Daryl replied, opening the lid of the pizza box and taking a slice for himself.

    “Jeez, man,” Glenn said, his mouth working around a lump of thick, congealed cheese. “You’ve missed a whole lot.”

    “Yeah? You gonna start catchin’ me up or we just gonna sit here n’ have the world’s shittiest blind first date.”

    Summary

    It's a dark coil of anger deep in the pit of his stomach, reminding him that he was the root, the catalyst, the trigger for their family's downward spiral. It did happen - he reminds himself harshly. He can't forget that, even if time has actually reset itself.

    Todoroki Enji gets a second chance. It's up to him to see what he can do with it.

    Summary

    Obi-Wan Kenobi leaves the Jedi Order after Melida/Daan and becomes the most prominent lawyer in the galaxy, exposing corruption on the daily. Eventually Darth Sidious decides he's had enough of Kenobi wrecking his plans and orders Count Dooku to have him killed.

    Count Dooku hires Jango Fett for the job. This is a problem because Kenobi is, in Mandalorian standards, incredibly hot.

    TL;DR: Obi-Wan seduces Jango with his ability to make people cry on the witness stand.
