Summary
It goes like this: Criston has lived for twenty-two years until he remembers a life before this one. He is kneeling before King Viserys Targaryen, the First of His Name, and his wife and daughter, the blood roaring in his ears as his limbs shake with pain and exhaustion. A distance away, Prince Daemon, the king’s brother, glares at him, nursing his wounds. His morningstar lies off to the side, discarded in favor of the crown of laurels he cradles in his hands.
or
A young man, reincarnated as Criston Cole, remembers his past life, and Rhaenyra Targaryen is forever changed for it. For better or for worse, Westeros is set on a different path.

Summary
In another life, he thinks dully, Aenys might have been born a girl, and their father might have seen that Maegor would have made for the better heir – his only heir, in that circumstance – and promised Aenys’ hand to him to secure the line of succession. He allows himself to imagine it, for a fleeting second: his father’s warmth and attention, his place as heir to the Seven Kingdoms, Aenys receiving his wedding cloak shyly, a blush stained across his cheeks.
It is not an unpleasant thought.
In which Maegor is obsessed with the idea of taking Aenys to wife.

Summary
The footsteps draw closer to Rumi. The zombies are just in front of her now – she can sense them. Gripping her gun tightly, she rises from behind the counter, her finger hovering on the trigger.
She freezes when she’s met with the sight before her. When she meets the wide, panicked eyes of two young women her own age, one with hot-pink hair and cutting cheekbones, the other with black hair and a heart-shaped face.
At once, all the fight drains out of her.
Rumi lowers her gun.
Or, in which Rumi, Mira, and Zoey fall in love during a zombie apocalypse. In which they find each other at the end of the world.

Summary
As all three demons dissolve, something strange happens.
The Honmoon twitches. Shudders. Something about it roils. The world, for a brief, blinding second, flips on its head. Rumi’s stomach lurches. The tightness in her chest closes into a fist, simultaneously vicious and gentle, as contradictory as it is. Rumi’s vision flashes white. She gasps and falls to her knees, the breath ripped from her lungs.
Gradually, her vision returns to her. She sucks in a sharp breath and looks around for Mira and Zoey, curious to know if they felt the same thing just now. Somehow, she already senses that they did.
On what should have been an ordinary demon hunt, there is a fundamental shift in the Honmoon. It blesses Rumi, Mira, and Zoey with the abilities to feel each other's pain and emotions. Mira and Zoey view it as a blessing, a boon to killing more demons and achieving the Golden Honmoon. But privately, Rumi views it as a curse. How is she possibly supposed to keep her secret when her friends can sense her every emotion?

Bookmarker's Notes
Good God, this fic is so good. I’m not typically a Scarcrux fan, but the summary and the tags drew me in. The codependency between Harry and Scarcrux is *so* well done, truly just addicting. The prose is also really good. Just a great piece of work all around.

Summary
“I bet you fifty bucks I can make you come in under ten minutes.”
It knocks a laugh out of her, she’ll give him that much. She lets the laugh turn into a scoff as she angles her face toward his. “Please. You don’t look like you have fifty dollars to give me when you lose.”
“I’m not going to lose.”
His eyes drop to her mouth, brief as the click of a lighter and every bit as searing. When his eyes return to hers, the air between them tightens.
“No way.”
“Why not?”
“It’s not going to happen.”
His grin flashes. “Give me eight.”
“Oh, sweetheart,” Helena croons, and there’s a condescending curl to the end of it she cannot resist. “I could spend eight minutes explaining why the answer is no, and that would be a far better use of both of our time.”

I am such a sucker for this fic, oh my god! Helena being jaded and cold, and Mark being the one to bring color back into her world, is really beautiful. The way he inspires her to be kinder is so nice. I just love their relationship and the way it’s written, especially their possessiveness over each other. Lovely work!

Summary
"Valarr watches him now – Aerion is sprawled out in the seat to his right, toying with the marble that marks his attendance, lost in thought. His inputs are brief and scathing, his wandering eye catching the attention of everyone in the room for just long enough to keep them on edge. It’s intoxicating; like having a hurricane on a leash, curled around his shoulders, lashing out at anyone who dares to step out of line."
(There's nothing that Valarr wants more than to be a king worthy of his title. In order to become that, he might need to intimidate his way into being taken seriously and he has just the right help at hand.)

This was a really interesting take on what could have been Valarr’s kingship! I really appreciated both his characterization and Aerion’s. Very strong fic all around, I enjoyed it a lot.

Summary
Rhaenyra Targaryen and Alicent Hightower are girls of only five-and-ten when they are stolen from each other. The Princess is cold as stone in the years thereafter; the Queen, on the other hand, mourns in perpetuity.
Alicent’s son, Aegon Targaryen, grows in the likeness of his mother - dark doe-eyed, wearing a crown of auburn curls, and Rhaenyra cannot bring herself to hate him.
Instead, she regards him as she once did his mother. If she closed her eyes and raised her fingers to trace his cheek, her wandering hands would find the shape of Alicent's features, and she can imagine her in his stead.

Bookmarker's Notes
Holy shit this fic is so good. Aegon looking like a Hightower is an idea I've seen thrown around before, but this is the first time I've really seen it explored. Rhaenyra using him to fill the void Alicent left is so fucked up, especially when the tags are showing that Alicent is going to be the end game. This whole fic is just twisted as hell. 10/10

Summary
“Don’t be afraid, my darling Helly. Don’t you see how fateful it is that we’ve finally united? You were meant to be with me. I chose you,” Helena said. “Does that scare you?”
Through her tears, she saw Helly smile.
“No.”
(After centuries of solitude, Helena turns Helly into a vampire to keep her as a companion forever)

Bookmarker's Notes
Oh my lord this fic is so good. The toxicity, the codependency, the general unhealthiness of it all. Chef’s kiss, it’s amazing. I really enjoyed the characterizations of Helly and Helena here as well. Vampire AUs aren’t typically my thing, but I’m glad I gave this one a chance.
