    Summary

    Fitz was patient with me. Gruff, but always agonizingly patient. He bundled me into a blanket and sat me before his hearth, shut the window, and shoved the bloody cloak into a corner where I couldn't see it any longer. Then he sat down behind me and pulled me roughly into his arms. I went, angry at myself for going so easily. For always caving so immediately to him, this man who gave so much to me, while always holding so much back.

    It didn't matter. His arms were the only thing that chased the chill away, so slowly, I let him warm me. We sat without speaking, my back pressed to his chest, his chin hooked over my shoulder, my smooth cheek pressed against his ever-so-faintly whiskered one. It was a peace entirely unendurable. Silently, we both endured it.

    Amidst the trappings of a foreign celebration, in a land that is not his own, a White Prophet learns to live again, and his Catalyst offer shelter from the cold.

    Summary

    Nebakov loomed in the distance. Ištván was there, watching.

    Erik could not see him from the road, but he knew, all the same. As he drew closer, he caught glimpses of a dark shape moving by the palisades. It followed Erik up the hill, around the bend, and all the way to the stables. Comfort spread under Erik's armor like blood, sticky and hot.

    A glimpse of Erik and Ištván in Nebakov.

    Summary

    "You were stabbed," Baelor said as he knelt down before Dunk, who'd managed to climb all the stairs up to their apartments without too much assistance so really, this fuss was silly. "In the leg."
