as i walk through the valley of the shadow of death; i take a look at my life and realize there's nothing left.
open starter for everyone!
location: the quaratine quarters, cerion is already dead & the antidote was finally administered.
tw: sickness, vomit, death mention.
the heat seizes you first. itâs everywhere at once, smothering you under the blankets and burning inside your chest. then the real pain sets in. it's not a sharp prick, no. it's a deep, foul ache burrowed into your flesh and bone, making every limb feel too heavy to lift. a voice echoes from somewhere above, muffled like you're drowning. you can't catch the words. a hand presses against your hot forehead while another yanks your chin up. they force a bitter draft between your teeth. the taste is rank, making your stomach heave. you try to reject it, but fingers lock your jaw in place. swallow. you can't tell whether you obey the voice or if your body has simply lost the will to fight. light and dark trade places. white cloth. the ceiling. a face appears above you, then itâs gone, replaced by another that disappears just as fast. shadows crowd the room, carrying bowls, cloths, and candles. you think someone is praying near the bed. then you think someone is crying. both sounds terrify you. the fever comes in waves. or perhaps it is not a fever at all. you know fevers. you'd seen it take your lady mother. and for a while, brewing elixirs became your fixation, you pestered your maesters, demanded they'd tell you; willow bark, yarrow, peppermint-- perhaps add some macerated elderflower and ginger to the mix. maiden's finger, that blue root from the vale, could quickly heal blood coughs and a bad stomach.
but no, this isn't the sickness that struck the stormlands a few seasons back. you know the difference. this is something much worse, something foul and intentional. the suspicion takes root in your mind and won't let go, even while your thoughts unravel. you try to speak, to say it out loud, but your tongue feels thick and your lips are useless. nothing comes out but a ruined sound. it's infuriating, smothering you from the inside. you're still completely conscious; your thoughts are frantic, hammering against your skull, but there's no outlet left. you are a prisoner in your own body, and you can already feel the walls starting to give way. everything blurs into a haze where time doesn't exist. you find yourself biting down on a thick rag, tasting the metallic sting of blood before you even realize itâs in your mouth. someone has you by the shoulders. a voice keeps hammering away at your name. amaya. amaya. amaya. trying to tether you to the living. it fails. you sink, you surface, you sink again. then, out of the noise, a word breaks through. poison. it echoes in the room: "âŚcertainly poisonâŚ" "...not a feverâŚ" "...gods help usâŚ" poison. of course. it dawns on you all at once. the kingsmoot. the claimants. someone wanted the throne so badly they struck out blindly at every neck in sight. you want to laugh at their desperation, but a violent cough tears through your chest and nearly kills you. then the dark swallows you whole.
the room looks different when you drift back to consciousness. for the first time, you notice the endless row of beds. some figures are moving; others are asleep. your vision blurs the second you turn your neck. through the haze, you spot the unmistakable gold of cerion lannister's hair. then jorah bolton, vaiora redwyne, and hira targaryen. but itâs the next face that makes you lock eyes. the grand maester. oh, no. no, no, no. a weak laugh rattles somewhere inside your chest. "f-fuckingâŚ" your throat burns. the rest dissolves into a cough. "âŚhell." if the grand maester is taking up a sickbed, the court is completely fucked. you close your eyes, the horror finally sinking its claws into you. you succumb to the thought: what happens if i die? the poison is nothing compared to the realization of who will take your place. lyanna and steffon. the two most incompetent creatures you know, presiding over the vale. the thought is so revolting it physically rejects itself from your body; your jaw is forced open by a sudden, hot rush of bile that spills out over the linen. you lie back, tasting the sour ruin of your own choices. you spent years refusing to adopt a proper successor with your wife, draped in the arrogant belief that you had time to spare. you don't. the truth is bitterer than the vomit, harsher, too, than the coil in your stomach and the heat crawling in again. you are growing tired of this.
does the stranger actually claim the faithless, you wonder? where do you go when you die? no way to tell. out of the dark, someone craddles your head and pries gently at your jaw, making way for a liquid to slide into your mouth. your throat moves. more comes, bitter and dark, completely different from the previous medicine. an antidote, perhaps. you do not know and you are too tired to ask. hours or days dissolve, but then comes the light; not the scarlet fire of the fever, but actual sunlight that makes you wince. you open your eyes, and suddenly the ceiling doesn't move. your throat is pure sand and broken glass, and every muscle is sore, but the pulse in your neck is finally steady. you blink through the glare and see a silhouette lingering by your bed, watching. you look at them for a long time before your hoarse voice breaks the silence. "fuck you're looking at? ...ew."

shiera waters, a bedside conversation with addam waters @valarrghulis
in the sickrooms of the red keep, after an early antidote was brewed.
One moment, a septa had a hand upon her nape, bidding her to take slow and gentle sips of a foul-tasting concoction, one more in a series of many. She had accepted the caustic sludge that was so astringent she could scarce believe it as a curative, and snapped her tongue against the roof of her mouth a few times. This was all she remembered; the next moment Shiera was awake again. Bleary light played through  crusted lids, not so bright as to immediately inflict a headache. She raised a hand to block out the light, and felt the groan of her shoulders in response.
Something moved. Shiera squinted and forced herself to open her eyes, and saw a figure beside her bed. A blink, another, and her vision resolved, clarity restored. She was dreaming yet. Another hallucination, a vision of something she would never otherwise imagine by her sickbed. A peculiar addition to her earlier procession: septas, her mother, the old nursemaid, her mother. An arrangement Addam had no space in. Or elseâ
"Addam?" she asked the vision, hoarse. Her tongue dried, immediately, again.
where: within the guest chambers assigned to house tully within the red keep
when: after the death of lord cerion lannister
with: any member of house tully
"Hold still." Not a request, but a command, as Sabitha presses her hand, fingers first, then palm, against her relative's forehead. A moment later, she trails it down to wrap around their cheek, cold rings, practically sparkling with gemstones of deep, dark Tully blues and reds, digging into their flesh. Appeased, for the moment, she draws her hand back, face almost blank if not for the typical stern furrow between her brows. Her arm now hangs limply against her midnight blue gown, the darkest she could find within her packed trunk; she had assumed they were journeying for a kingsmoot, not a funeral, after all.
"No fever." She informs them, as she has done daily since the first bout of illness was announced. "Though, continue trying your best to stay away from Lord Father, lest he fall ill." A silly thing to say; the spread of news a long time ago had already alerted them that it was poison rather than plague that afflicted their fellow noblemen. He can survive a few days by his lonesome, however; she is certain it would do him some good. "And the Lannisters....That Mara Lannister is quite suspicious; who knows which of her brethren would have jumped at the chance to," Her next words come as a whisper, though no one but the gods can hear the pair within the Tully guest chambers, "Slay kin." A pause. "And House Redwyne, naturally. I hear some of them were quite insistent on everyone partaking in the merriment." Her dark brown eyes roll, then her neutral expression is immediately replaced with a sneer, "And do not even think of getting close to the ironborn! Of course, they would rejoice during such terrifying times. They would have all of our heads mounted atop pikes on the morrow if they could have it their way."
Truly, the only ones worthy of trust were her own kin....Simple, though they all were.

II. BIOGRAPHY.
perceon hightower was a man who believed in omens, and most importantly, he believed he alone would be able to interpret the signs the gods were sending their most devout house: the beacon of oldtown, defender of the citadel, protector of the faith. before he could even do more than babble at his nursemaid, his father devised a plan for his life, and for the life of every child the couple would produce in the upcoming years. their plans were almost subdued by faith, since it took almost seven years after their first child for rohanne's womb to quicken again. elyas was born the second son, but groomed as the heir. for posey â dear posey, their father's favorite lamb to slaughter â was promised to marriage, and therefore abdicated her rights as the firstborn, to their paramount lieges in highgarden.
his childhood was a complicated one, he was not an independent human being, he was liquid metal to be forged under perceon's hands. if elyas were to be raised in the form of the smith, first he would need to learn how to be devout to the laborer god. the child was soon put to study in the citadel, no matter how much he cried and complained. it was not rebellion, elyas had not an ounce of mutinous spirit in him, but only the childish rejection of the long hours he was put to study, more advanced than any other heir in history. twelve... thirteen... fourteen hours under the candlelight in the deepest of the citadel's vaults and topmost of its towers. no expense was spared for his education, he was to be maester-trained in all the arts the citadel studies, to forge links with his own sweat and blood but never to complete his vows.
part of his upbringing was also to shadow his father in his duties, but also other members of his household. elyas was to spend a fortnight with the captain of the guard and help him with duties like a squire and stand watch with him when necessary. and then the main forger from the armory in the throes of heat. and then the masons rebuilding the eastern wall of oldtown. whoever prayed to the smith, elyas was to observe and suffer together. certainly if other noblemen knew fully what happened in the house hightower they would find lord perceon's ideas more extreme than what would normally appear. who would treat his heir like that? only a zealous man, with faith in his omens, and low tolerance for disappointments.
despite all he endured in his education, it was the time he spent in the citadel elyas happened to enjoy the most. if it was not for his father's influence and the trust he put in elyas, trust that was thorny and demanding like vines wrapped on one's throat, elyas would have followed the life of a maester; meeting his wife was the only balm to his life, without her, the weight of unlived freedom would have certainly be too much to endure. his sister ceryse, the wise one, was his company in the citadel, in their strenuous studies they found the bond of the oldest children left in their father's grasp - the weight of responsibility and bloodline ambition.
you are to be the smith, elyas, you are to fix what is broken, to steady what's and to keep the family strong when i am gone. it was his father's mantra. he was the constant, the steadfast older sibling. their protector and their delator. the one who hold their hand and hug them when they needed comfort, but who could not offer them absolution.
elyas was late to knighthood. he was more interested in the maester's life and physically too spent from his father's more unorthodox lessons. an ultimatum was needed for him to seek those useless spurs; and it was an holy affair, to devote your body and mind to the gods in knighthood. lord perceon was a diligent lord and nothing happened in his city without his knowledge or permission, but for that he made great use of his oldest son, his right hand. after his five and twenty birthday and his late knighthood, elyas was appointed captain of the city watch of oldtown and also of his father's personal guard - a meager and protocolary guard for no one would dare to attack a hightower in oldtown.
the glass candles are his deepest fascination. the citadel possesses three that are part of a maester's vow and since the first time he was presented one during a lesson in skepticism and essosi magic. elyas believes deeply that is the way the gods are communicating with them â did the fervor of his father pass down to him like a disease? was he as enlightned? â , the scrolls in the hightower's library spoke of magic and andal rituals, and the glass candles burned brighter no matter the maester's efforts to dispute it. convincing perceon to acquire one from essos was not an easy feature, and it may be the first time elyas had quarraled with perceon in years. but in the end, elyas got his wish done and one was shipped to hightower. now the glass candle travels with him to the kingsmoot, deep in his personal storage, to be studied diligently, while they press their claim to the throne of westeros.

Â
I. STATS
NAME: addam waters. NICKNAMES: the rogue bastard. AGE: four and thirty. DATE OF BIRTH: seventeenth day of the eight moon. PLACE OF BIRTH: kingâs landing.  GENDER: cis male. PRONOUNS: he/him. SEXUAL ORIENTATION: bisexual. RELIGION: faith of the seven (allegedly) TITLE: knight of the craig. bastard of the craig. LANGUAGES: common tongue. some bravosi and dothkraki. AFFILIATION: himself. house westerling, limited to his fatherâs ambitions.
II. BIOGRAPHY.
what reason led to lord alester of the craig to never take a proper consort he kept closed deep into his heart, but that meant all his progeny would be born out of the wedlock and cursed with the taint of bastardy. addam was just the oldest of them to be claimed by their noble father. he was born in the an alley amongst the runaway children, from a mother with no surname, no title and no prospects. no singer would serenade her name and soon her only child â her blood, her tears and her despair, whom she had to raise herself, for no milkmaid or servant would come to help her care for a noblemanâs child â would learn to do the same. rosey was a mere barmaid in one of the kingâs landingâs tavern lord alester frequented along king aegor, pretending to be carefree youths again. there were no tales, no sweet promises the lord knew he would never be able to keep, nothing save a night and a baby on her belly nine moons later. it took four moons for addam to receive a name, for a man who won roseyâs kiss on a dare and he was raised barefoot at the same tavern, fed on scraps and goodwill of those around roseyâs life.
the owner of the tavern was a cruel man, known to enjoy exercising control over his servantsâ lives and greedy. it came to his knowledge from one of rosey's friends loose lips that the father of her child could have been a great lord and he saw only opportunity. he convinced rosey that she should contact the father and present the baby for him, that he could make her rich like a lady. not only that but he pushed rosey to marry him, planning to have that money for himself. together they accosted the hand of the king the next time he ventured too close to the cobbler's square. lord alester did not require much convincing; he remembered rosey and acknowledged that the boy carried his features. the matter was resolved amidst drinks in the same tavern he was conceived. addam would become addam waters, a legitimized bastard, he would receive an allowance that would be surely grabbed by the owner of the tavern, and when he reached the age of ten, lord alester would send take care of his education.
but meanwhile, addam was raised underfoot at the tavern, a common and hard life no matter how much money his stepfather appropriated. he would glance at the red keep with covetous eyes, waiting for his time. one day, a butcher who frequented the inn told him that he needed to prove himself to his father if he wanted his attention. he could not grow to be a soft tavern boy, he whispered in the child's year. a lordâs son needed to be a knight, a fighter. It led the boy outside, where danger still lurked in the capital city. the streets of king's landing did not care if you claimed your father was the hand of the king, they recognized only guts and survival; addam was quick on his feet and tall for a boy, amongst other surnameless boys, he thieved and avoided consequences and brawled in the streets like he didn't have a ticket out as long as he survived to see his next nameday. all these afternoons gave him were bruises and a temper.
as promised, when he reached ten years of age, his father sent for him. he would live at the red keep and be schooled and trained like a scion of house westerling. lord alester had no need for children and a spouse, but he had need for pawns. addam finally had the life he aimed for, and it turned bitter in his mouth. the reality that he met was not one of opportunity and paternal love, but where he was worse than baseborn; he was a bastard. born in lust and in sin, with a taint so terrible even some of the servants would look down on him. elevated to the position of the handâs child, but brought down by the illegitimacy; he would find out later in life that no knighthood would wash away that stain. his half-siblings arrived later, and he watched with resentful eyes as his father's precarious attention was split in two, then three. he had not yet learned that alester westerling's true attention was destined only to the king, and to the bottle. he was not a good older brother to them, poking and pulling on shieraâs hair when they shouldâve been learning his letters and tripping the youngest. what little prank he could not inflict on the trueborn children at the yard, it was reserved for his younger siblings.
at four and ten, his father negotiated for him to foster at casterly rock, a great opportunity for a westerling bastard; the lannisters were their liege lord, and he could be alester's eyes in the westerlands and train to be a great warrior defending the coast from ironborn. it would soon to prove a catastrophe. addam was audacious and ambitious, he managed to pretend perfectly under his father's eye at kingâs landing, but the truth was that addam did not had in him to be dutiful. he learned under casterly rock's master at arms and household knights alongside the lord's own children, a privilege most bastards could only aspire to. but he soon turned restless. and the ironborn ships started looking more interesting than knighthood and vows. he was soon seen atop ironborn ships, trading deals under the table and allegedly stealing resources, all because raiding was more fun than defending the rocky shores. alester brought him back to king's landing and smoothed things over with the king. he was put on the path to knighthood again, the only way to settle his restless ways. it would be to no avail.
in adulthood, he would become infamous, not only by his bastardy or the father that embarrassed the family name and the position he occupied, but also by his own merits, his own devious ways. addam would never settle, could never stay put. always the first to draw blood, to instigate a brawl, to add insult to an injury. some would say he was the worst influence on his father, the worst of the bastards; the rogue, and the gods knew lord alester did not need much help to make terrible decisions. he traveled all of westeros, on rumors and charm alone â creating enemies and rivalries.
thirteen months before the kingsmoot, after absconding from highgarden before someone could discover him in their ladyâs bed. he was found once again at the iron islands supporting them instead of his westerland kin; illicit dealings when she should have been staying quiet in the crag with his aunt. before they could bring him to trial for a harsher sentencign considering his record, lord alester interceded with the king and addam was sent to essos in exile. five years it was his sentence, but it only lasted until the death of the king brought him back to westeros, arriving right at the beginning of the kingsmoot â he whispered the words to his father once, of the ironborn way to seize power. the realm had more worries than a bastard avoiding punishment that was kept under wraps anyways, and he had his father's blessing. if someone were at fault, it would be the lord regent's indulging tendencies.
and now he was back in westeros, and his father eyes were all on the realm's fragile governance and none on addamâs.
