CHAPTER ONE ; 3/3
TRANSCRIPT:
killian: Mama gets so testy this time of year.
dara: Try being Empress to an entire nation. Oh, right—that will be me.
k: And you get especially testy. Really, what is it about spring?
gregor: The snow melts, and everyone wants to renew their trade deals with unreasonable demands. Nothing new.
k: The politics of it all… how exhausting. [mumbling] Every year, I am more and more grateful that I gave up my chance at the throne.
[The secret door shuts behind him, the mechanism locking into place with a soft thud]
g: I will take my leave, as well. How long are you going to be in here?
d: All day. As I am participating in the trade talks this time, I must know everything there is to know.
g: Oh well. I was going to invite you to the luncheon regarding magic reform.
d: Let me know if any good ideas float around, will you?
g: ...As always.

modern got au in which asha is a "teen parent"
or more accurately, asha and theon have a much larger age gap, 10/15-ish years, type of age gap (she's at least 18/19 and theon's only like 4/5), and in a series of freak events, their lives are turned on its head.
their brothers were dead. their mother and father were ruled incompetent, the former left a shell of herself after the loss of her sons, no longer able to care for her remaining children, the latter was never a father to begin with and he didn't seem to have any wish to become one now.
she was an adult by law, meaning she was free from the hell that was the system. her kid brother - the one who smiled at her for seemingly no reason, the one who crawled into her bed when thunder rattled the house, the brother who held her hand on their rare family outings - was not.
she couldn't leave him there, even if she wanted to, even if it would make her life so much easier. she wouldn't abandon him like the rest of their shitty family. he was blood for fucks sake, she'd die before she let's him get taken away from her and given away to strangers to be used and exploited or treated like a shelter puppy to be pitied and fawned over.
cue asha fighting for custody of her baby brother, doing whatever it takes to be deemed a suitable guardian, and the two of them taking on the world together.
more thoughts:
they have to find an apartment cause they can't afford to keep their family home. moving into the cheapest place they can find with only the stuff they can fit in asha's truck, sharing an air matress and eating off of a coffee table while watching movies they rented from the library.
asha cleaning her brother up before his first day at his new school, trying to get him to look suitable, but not really knowing what suitable means for a kid going into kindergarten/first grade
theon comforting his sister when she gets overwhelmed with it all, doing his best to ease her tears. the night ending with them both curled around each other, just two scared little kids trying their best.
asha fighting anyone she has to to keep custody of theon, whether it be the social worker, the judge, people who called cps to report her. she doesn't care, no one will take away her baby brother.
asha taking theon to work with her (she works in a boat shop cause she already knows what she's doing) and having to keep him entertained while she works so they don't get sent home.
their first christmas/birthdays by themselves. theon putting together gifts at school (finger paintings or paper mache or something of the like) and asha cherishing it forever. asha spending all the money left to her name each time to get him something nice so eh can feel like a normal kid.
theon doing sports in school (little league or something) and asha making sure she goes to every damn game, being the loudest in the stands.
asha getting more and more used to being physically affectionate with her brother at time goes on. before everything she'd tense up when he'd hug her legs or hold her hand, but now she scoops him up like a rag doll, ruffles his hair, kisses his forehead, without a second thought.
{I'm so normal about them I swear}

Lunar Rift Timeline AU: Soul Assimilation
In a dark void, a young White Lily Cookie awoke.
"Huh...? Where am I?" she asked, looking around. There was only darkness, with hints of blue stars, making the area resemble the night sky somewhat. "Pure Vanilla Cookie! Pure Vanilla Cookie! Are you here?"
In the distance, a young Pure Vanilla Cookie awoke. "White Lily Cookie...?" he spoke.
"Pure Vanilla Cookie!" White Lily Cookie exclaimed, floating towards him. "Thank goodness you're ok!"
"And same for you, White Lily Cookie!" Pure Vanilla Cookie said with a smile on his face, which faded as he looked around. "Where are we?"
"I don't know," White Lily Cookie answered. Could we...be trapped in the portal? she thought to herself. All I remember was me using Dark Moon Magic to open it to make the perfect Cookie, then the souls appeared, and then... Then, the two young Cookies heard an unfamiliar voice.
"Oh, what's this? I didn't expect to have guests here!"
White Lily Cookie and Pure Vanilla Cookie jumped with slight surprise. "Who's there?" Pure Vanilla Cookie asked.
Suddenly, an unfamiliar Cookie appeared in the void.
"Who are you?" White Lily Cookie asked fearfully.
"Who I am isn't important. What is important, however, is my need for power."
"Power...?" Pure Vanilla Cookie repeated.
"Yes. I used to be a very powerful Cookie, but as the years passed, my power has waned. I sense strong magic power within you young Cookies. If you could lend me your power, I can regain my strength."
White Lily Cookie was unsure of this. How can she and Pure Vanilla Cookie be sure they could trust this mysterious Cookie? There was only one way to find out.
"If we lend you our power, what would we get in return?" she asked.
"Simple: you would be free from this void," the voice answered.
White Lily Cookie was still unsure of this. But if it was the only way to be released from the void, then she had no choice.
"Alright. We will lend you our power."
"Excellent."
Suddenly, White Lily Cookie began to turn a bright shade of blue.
"White Lily Cookie!!" Pure Vanilla Cookie exclaimed. Suddenly, the same thing began to happen to him. The two were then completely consumed and turned into flames of blue, which swirled around a Cookie's silhouette, which absorbed the two flames.
"Hahahahaha...! Finally....!" the silhouette revealed itself to be Infinite Cream Cookie. "I can feel it. The combined power of those two Cookies...and the Dark Moon Magic those two possess....My power has increased tremendously! Now...this body is finally mine!"
He released another evil cackle, which echoed throughout the void.
