    Summary

    Colin is excited to begin his world tour tomorrow morning, and start fresh after the humiliation of his courtship of Marina. He's grateful he had a chance to apologize to Penelope here at Hastings Ball. But there’s something he can’t quite shake about the way she took off just now, how she refused his dance. Are they not still friends?

    This is an alternative end of S1 and then S2 Colin and Penelope story. Mostly from Colin’s POV. Slow burning to Polin HEA. But maybe, just maybe, Pen kicked thoughts and actions into motion a little sooner than the show version thought.

    Summary

    Every time a new Targaryen is born, the gods toss the coin in the air, and the world holds its breath to see how it will land.

    Lyarra Snow would argue her coin landed standing up. Oh, she was a monster to many people. Lyarra's hands were coated in blood before her eighth and tenth names' day. However, she'd argue she was not insane. She had no desire to take over Westeros and be its Queen. Far from it, the Iron Throne was a curse and a burden. Lyarra was far better off with her enterprise. She did not kill at random or for the fun of it; killing was a necessity of life, simply business. A business that everyone needed, but no one wanted to talk about.

    Perhaps she could have used her knowledge for good. Be a healer, historian, something kinder. But the world taught Lyarra that no one would save or protect her. If no one would protect Lyarra, she'd protect herself. That the world would always judge someone by their names or appearances. If the world was going to judge her for her name, she'd given them a new one. Lyarra could have been different, but so too could the people around her. Lyarra was what the world made her.

    Inspired by Natalie Dormer as Moriarty in Elementary
