    Summary

    “So this is what you spoke of. The way the lanterns make the sky glow. The smell of everything cooking at once. The weight of so many people moving around you.” Yomi’s voice had softened, turned inward. “I used to imagine it, you know.”

    “You never came,” Kurama said quietly.

    “No,” Yomi agreed. “Not when I could have.”

    The words hung between them, light as the petals surrounding them, heavy as the cobblestones beneath their feet.

    Kurama turned his gaze back to the flowering trees. “And? Does it live up to your imagination?”

    Yomi hummed, thoughtful. “Some things do.” There is a slow, pointed pause before he adds, “Some things don’t.”


    sau·da·de

    noun

     

    Portugese; a vague and constant desire for something that does not or probably cannot exist; a longing for a past that pulls you from the present; not an active discontent, but an indolent, dreaming wistfulness.

    Summary

    “Lucerys Velaryon is alive,” Larys Strong said, and Aemond felt, for a brief moment, as if the stone had vanished beneath his feet.


    Lucerys narrowly survived his encounter with his uncle, but the days he spent, half-mad and delirious, on that tiny islet irrevocably changed him. Twisted him, forced him to do something he never would have imagined himself capable of. But his actions called to him the largest wild dragon in Westeros.

    On the back of Cannibal, Lucerys knew that the next time he confronted Aemond, they would be equals in more ways than one.

    Summary

    It’s a new year, a new semester. Looking out across the classroom, taking in the bright-eyed students in their winter gear, the crowded desks, the aisles choked with backpacks and bags, Luke can’t help but feel that it’s going to be a good year.

    “Welcome to Transformative Journeys: Pilgrimage and Practice in Global Buddhisms,” he says, with a smile. “I’m Professor Amidala-Lars."
