Summary
When Arya and Sansa reunite in the crypts, they take that one opportunity to plot and plan together, setting the stage for the future. There is a significant focus on actual preparation for the wars to come, for the winter to come, and to the various and sundry matters of military and civilian logistics, training, trade, espionage, alliances, and so on and so forth.
Arya's connections with Braavos are also brought into play, as a priest of the Many-Faced God, a Faceless Man, and as someone who trained in Westeros with Syrio Forel, former First Sword to the Sealord of Braavos, and who also trained in Braavos with Qarro Volantin, current First Sword to the Sealord of Braavos.,
This work contains significant planning, training, preparation, politics, logistics, and sisterly bonding!
This follows fairly closely through Season 7 only for what was shown in Winterfell. There are serious changes to the underlying events, to their meaning, the preparation for the Long Night, and to the actual relationship between the sisters during their conversations.
This continues post-Season 7 with no reference whatsoever to the show's Season 8.

Summary
When Ben breaks up with her (politely, as gently as he can, but still breaks up with her), Audrey’s immediate focus is on damage control. In order to make things look amicable she needs to move on in a manner that’s unpredictable, something that will give her leverage without making her look desperate. After all, with Ben publicly dating an assortment of people, she has to move on fast so she won’t look pathetic.
That’s where Doug comes into play, which is a trial enough in itself without her grandmother mailing her enchanted mushrooms to add to her beauty routine. Audrey learns far too late that the thing has a life of its own, but somehow it all works out in the end.
Also known as – That time Audrey played at romance and actually got it, explored her sexuality and the world didn’t end, all thanks to a magic mushroom.
It is as dumb as it sounds.

Summary
“What if,” he began, sounding as though the words were arriving on his tongue without having stopped first in his brain. “What if we agreed to a marriage of friendship? It was years ago, yes, but we knew each other well once. You do not seem to have changed, although you are a little quieter, and I do not think I have changed either.”
“A marriage of friendship,” I repeated. Something in my chest felt hollow at the words. “Yes, a marriage of friendship would be acceptable.”

So much more optimistic and soothing an ending/parting than most of its fic-kind, and also fascinating to see Legolas's childhood / youth, and the role-reversal at the end.

Missing moments that make canon less depressing and vague. -

Bookmarker's Notes
Utterly perfect; Alys and Illyan, Cordelia and Drou, the Count, the very competent staff and our unflappable Lord-and-former-Regent Vorkosigan... utterly in-character, in control, and unstoppably awesome. Saving the day in barely more minutes than a single dance takes. Booyah.
