Summary
Sometimes, Aragorn thinks he can see Boromir out of the corner of his eye. It has been a year and a half. He ought to have stopped this after the first six months. He ought never to have seen him in the first place. Because what is there to see?
Aragorn and Boromir - as memories and ghosts, sometimes these are one and the same, sometimes they're not. Or, as Anne Carson has it in Nox: "I fall, you fall, I have fallen, fell, a neutral verb, whence casual and casually."

Summary
Daeron drank all he could after the hedge knight left, in hopes that, when night came—for he had learned it always must—he dreamt of nothing but calmness and the swift sound of the nearby river he had been told the name of but forgotten. Maybe in my dream I'll remember. Maybe in my dream it'll be a name as sweet as song. He emptied his cup and poured himself another, thinking hope could taste better than Arbor gold.

Summary
Enjolras presses his lips together. He already looks pained, and Grantaire hasn't even opened his mouth yet. That's got to be a record, even for them.
"I need a favor," he says at last.
"With what?" says Grantaire. "Ooh, are you forming a cult? Can I join? I'd be awesome at cults, I just know it." He ticks off his qualifications on his fingers. "I love chanting, I look great in robes—"
(High school AU. Grantaire the disaffected stoner is pulled into a cause bigger than himself. Or: in which there are pretend boyfriends for great justice.)

Summary
"It was a mild spring day when Stannis Baratheon, Lord of Dragonstone and younger brother to King Robert wed Selyse of House Florent. Selyse’s mother had said it was a good omen, a signal of new beginnings, not only for her marriage but also for House Florent."
A study in the marriage of Stannis Baratheon and Selyse Florent, proving once and for all that the opposite of love isn't hate. It's indifference.
