    Summary

    Life is chaotic in the Gilmore-Danes-Mariano family. Jess is in middle school, which is never a fun time for anyone. But it's not the only struggle he has. It's tough being in a blended family where no one else shares your name and no one quite looks like you. Where everyone adores your siblings more than you.

     

    Part 2 to Of Uncles and Nephews, but can be read independently as well.

    Summary

    Jess needs a safety net--as much as he loathes to admit it. The publishing house folds and Jess has no desire to live in his car again, so he calls on the most reliable person he knows. Luke is there with a place to stay, unsolicited advice, and possibly WiFi. More than enough for him to get the chance to drum up some cash.

    The proximity of Luke's apartment to every other inch of Stars Hollow is a slight complicating factor.

    Summary

    A Knight of the Seven Kingdoms but its Single Mother Maekar trying to go on a family road trip with his brother, Baelor, and his perfect children. Maekar’s own children? A far cry from perfect.

    Just a modern twist on our favorite family function where nobody is functioning at all.

    More tags and characters will potentially be added as I go along with whatever the voices tell me to write <3

    Summary

    “You're lost, prince.”
    “Am I?” Daeron peered around as if only now noticing where he’d ended up. “Doesn’t seem so. I was looking for a tent, and here’s a tent.” He gestured broadly, nearly toppling himself in the process.
    “This isn’t your tent.”
    “No, mine’s much finer.” Daeron took another wobbling step closer. “Silks and satin and all manner of royal rubbish. Dreadfully boring.”

    Daeron stumbles into Raymun's tent after Baelor's funeral, and Raymun takes care of him despite every reason not to.

    Summary

    Daeron Targaryen struggles with guilt over his own lie: the accusation he has made against a hedge knight to save his own skin from his father’s wrath.

    When Egg, the only person who still sees the good in him, urges him to act to prevent the Trial of Seven, Daeron agrees. The two brothers decide to seek justice with their uncle Baelor.

    However, he does not expect that this will also lead to a confrontation with their father.

    What comes to light during the night-time conversation in the Hand of the King’s chamber shatters every carefully maintained illusion the Targaryen family has held about itself.
