    Summary

    He's better than Ormund at many things, always has been. Dueling (not grappling, never grappling), riding (but not hunting), humility over pride.

    Over the many years, he's learned that throwing the fight has a better outcome than beating his lordly cousin in any competition.

    Ormund is the Head of Hightower House, after all. Sometimes the knee must be bent.

    ------------------------------------


    "He was awful to you, earlier." Daeron looked distinctly uncomfortable as they sat together in what now passed for Gwayne's room in Tumbleton, a chess board between them. His nephew was wringing his hands as though they were wet rags and Daeron a washerwoman. "Those things he said..."

    {The false empathic look, paired with 'I'm sure you found solace with some of your brothers in arms'}

    Gwayne stared at the floor, counting the cracks he found there. "Put it from your mind, Daeron. It was meant to humiliate me, not you. Long has he missed throwing his knives at me, in my absence. That is all that was. His idea of fun. A warm welcome home, if you will."

    Summary

    It makes sense: she’s there all the time anyway, so when her lease is up, Rey takes the spare room at the house.

    She’ll just ignore her burgeoning attraction to Mister Solo. Easy.

    Summary

    “Where does this leave us?” Bradley asks eventually.

    Jake snorts. “In what way?”

    Bradley shrugs. “I don’t know. Emotionally, physically. Legally.”

    Jake thinks he might be dizzy. He hasn’t drunk that much tonight, but he has been wondering about the answers to that question for a long time. Finally talking about it…it barely even feels real. “Let’s start with the last one,” he says. “That sounds like the easiest part.”

    “Well,” Bradley says gamely. “Legally speaking, I think we’re, like, one piece of paper away from being married.”

    Summary

    This way, I’m facing the stars. I could watch them as I die. I bring my eyes further down, then, to rest on his monstrous face. It slowly melts back into its human form. This smile is no less terrifying. It promises death, and pain, and it promises to enjoy it.

    “Playing with your food?”

    He looks like a kid on Christmas morning. “You’re my favourite, you know.” His fingers meld into three digits and he presses the tips of his claws against my throat.

    I laugh softly. “You’re mine, too.”
