Summary
I was exhausted from the late night with Chade and Kettricken and could scarcely imagine the walk to the Witness Stones, let alone the nauseating voyage through the Skill-pillar, and the icy destination. The Fool will be there, I reminded myself. He’s waiting for apricots.
I looked down at my basket, which did not contain apricots.In a rare moment of caution, Fitz realizes that he is not well enough to travel through the Skill-pillars. He takes a week so that the Fool can heal, and during this time, Fitz tries to come to terms with his 17-year-old memories and emotions that have returned to his 34-year-old life.
On hiatus until January.

Summary
Lacey kissed her lady back immediately, the only thought in her head, besides the faint agreement that the honeysuckle really was awfully sweet today, a single word, repeating over and over on a relieved, ecstatic loop: Finally.
The tale of a handmaid, her lady, the love blossoming between them, and some haplessly misplanted begonias.

Summary
“Do we have to go?” I asked at last, the words falling from my mouth like rocks. My spouse universally loved parties, and Springfest was her favorite. I knew I might enjoy myself once we arrived, but I dreaded going. My family would be there, and all Buckfort had been invited. We should go.
Still, I did not want to.A Western AU where Fitz has to, horror of horrors, go to a Springfest party at the local saloon with his family. There will be complaining, dancing, cards of various types, coffee, and Fitz's silly opinions about beer.
No real plot spoilers, but there are character spoilers through GF.

Summary
In this canon-divergent retelling of Realm of the Elderlings, Fitz is reimagined as Fenn, a woman raised in secret as Chivalry’s bastard daughter. She shares Fitz’s scars and stubborn loyalty, but carries a quieter grief and a love of art that touches everything she sees.
Two years after Fool’s Fate, the Fool returns to her cabin: battered, unsure, but no longer able to stay away.
This is a story of reunion, of being seen without needing to change, of slow rebuilding, of choosing to stay. There are scars. A stranger watches from the woods. And the past is far from done with them.
A love story. A reckoning. And a question: what happens when someone opens the door… and stays?

Regal's pet by vividlightning

Summary
“Tonight, one of you will hurt the other.” Regal picked a riding crop from the table. “Your choice,” he said, baring his teeth and sat back. Shit. I was not keen on receiving a lashing, but neither was I any good at delivering pain. I looked at Will in panic. What if I could not do either? Disobedience was out of the question.
Will got up and took the riding crop from Regal. “Trust me?” he asked. I had no idea what else to do so I nodded. Besides, I found that I did hold a small measure of trust to him. “Remove your shirt and give me your hands,” Will requested. “It is easier that way.” He bound my wrists in front of me with a thin leather band. His touch filled my mind with a soothing haze. Oh. I sighed in relief. Will would take the edge off whatever he was going to do next. And if I was getting too accustomed to his altering my feelings, I did not care. Was it any better to fog my head with wine and herbs instead of the Skill?

At the end of Royal Assassin, the Fool does not leave for the Mountains with Kettricken but instead stays behind at Regal’s mercy. For some reason he does not completely hate it. -

Prophet's Threads by A_Fool_in_Love, Hellking_C (BelovedFool)

Summary
History is the combination of small events, as much as it is of large ones, and this story explores the moments behind the scenes that go on to shape the events that unfold. For a Prophet and his Catalyst especially, no moment is without significance.
For months, authors bandied compliments over equally amazing works of fiction. Finally, they have united to tell the unseen edition of The Realm of the Elderlings series. The first of three beasts of fiction, Prophet's Threads follows the original Farseer Trilogy, offering insight into the minds of each character with whom our heroes interact.
Shoutout to the roleplay that provided the base for this fic, and for the long hours spent fine tuning and refining the details.
Some direct quotations from the original works are used; all credit for the creation of the world and the people within it goes to Robin Hobb.
Since the release of Assassin's Fate, the endgame of this work is no longer canon-compliant, but the details leading up to it are.Please read and review!
