Will is such an underrated character that some people (not giving names) even forget about him but this fic shows how fascinating, terrifying and powerful he really is. Everyone’s characterisation is on point and the Skill dreams passages in particular are chilling.

Thank you for yet another great fic @whatevsbla , and for your amazing ideas as always ❤_❤

Books: The Tawny Man

Rating: Mature

Characters: Will, Fitzchivalry Farseer, The Pale Woman, Chade Fallstar, The Fool

Summary: In which Will lives and this simple shift changes the very course of the world.

Excerpt:

“Show yourself,” I said intently.

And he did. It was like he’d stepped straight out of the furnishings; a completely new addition to my reality. My nightmares rarely showed me his face. He was a monster hiding in a child’s room when it was dark, a snake lying in wait in the grass. And when they did, it was usually the deathly grimace of his corpse.

The man before me was neither. He still had an eyepatch and all of his limbs. No, I noticed upon looking closer. He had no actual skin. His entire body was made of blackened stone. It called to me, drew me in like the fabled vortex to El’s depths that no ship could ever escape. He was hunger made man.

“Like what you see?” he asked, his voice velvet-soft and dangerous. I had forgotten its deceptively lilting cadence.

“There is no place for you here,” I told him, remembering the sensation of his shaking, dying body under my steady hands. “You no longer belong in this world.”

Books: The Farseer Trilogy, The Tawny Man Trilogy

Rating: Mature

Characters: Starling Birdsong, Jofron, Kettricken, Jinna

Summary: 3 times Starling got gifts from women she slept with.

Excerpt:

“Starling gave her a wide, impish smile. “Perhaps you would do well do give us Buck minstrels more credit.”

Kettle had proved a most reticent travel companion, but Starling was nothing if not skilled at getting information through simple conversation and piecing together the rest herself. So it wasn’t just that old woman who thought such a strange, ill-mannered man could tell the future! Starling was not convinced, but she was intrigued. After all, there had to be a reason why someone like this ended up with the favor of a queen and the trust of a heroic bastard prince. Starling might not like him, but she could appreciate the value of a good story.

A dreamy moment of piece in the eye of the storm that is Fitz/Fool, with incredibly canon-like and true Fitz voice as well as some truly great Nighteyes one-liners.

Books: The Farseer trilogy, The Tawny Man trilogy

Rating: Gen

Pairing(s): Fitz/The Fool

Summary: Fitz supposes he shouldn't be surprised when six years after the end of the Red Ships War, a familiar face shows up at his doorstep. He should be even less surprised when the Fool leaves again.

Excerpt:

You knew he was coming?

Nighteyes snorted. Of course I did. He is the Scentless one, not the Soundless one.

And you didn't tell me? I sent out a note of plaintiveness, but it's vastly overpowered by my wonder. He's come back for me.
