    Summary

    And their discordant triad stayed like that—not sleeping, not talking, not moving—and they were many things then; they were the whole of humanity, they were the edge of forever, they were a three-headed creature, a losing battle, a house on fire, a sinking ship, a train careening forward full-stop, waiting for the collision.

    Summary

    House Mooton is an old and respected house founded before the time of Petty Kings and forever residing in their city, Maidenpool.

    Rhaenyra Targaryen needs a new Lady in Waiting for her third and tenth name-day. Someone with the right pedigree, but from a family not honored too recently. The eldest daughter of the Lord of Maidenpool is chosen.

    Being said daughter, Eleanor Mooton is quite put upon about this.

    (OC-SI. a HOTD version of so says the maiden wherein eleanor is still forced to interact with too many royals. this is completely self indulgent. not required to read so says the maiden to understand.)

    Summary

    What does it mean to be a Hunter? To feel desire, yes, but also a dissatisfaction. To feel an emptiness so deep, that you leave everything else behind. All abandoned for one moment of feeling. One moment of having something. Be it an undiscovered ruin. A jewel. A bite of food.

    So let me tell you a story about what Hunters really are. About a type of human want that burns away all else. About a yearning for beauty so intense, that nothing can escape it.

    The truth is, Hunters are no different from us.

    We take anything, and we won’t let anyone take anything from us.

    Summary

    For Merrill, the grief carves a familiar hole in her gut; she didn’t know the other alienage “Keepers” very well, having only coordinated with them for the Conclave, trying to petition for the same exemptions from Templar interference that Dalish clans are allowed. She grieves for the lost potential, for the communities losing their guides, for the families losing each other.
    She grieves, and she wants nothing more than for Isabela to be here, carding ringed fingers through her hair and telling her what she has to say to go home to her.

    or;
    Merrill has always walked the line between respected and feared, loved and lonely. To be a heretical chosen one is almost fitting.
