Summary
They say Jon Targaryen is the cause of the rebellion. Most say he is a bastard. After losing his mother, Queen Lyanna, Jon's mood became stormy and he turned to the sword to occupy his mind. In a moment of anger, he beat his half-brother, the crown prince Aegon, publicly in a duel. Fearing Jon may go the way of Daemon Blackfyre, King Rhaegar sends him to Dorne to be consort to the beautiful Princess, Arianne Martell. Little does Rhaegar know, the Princess may be more dangerous to his reign than his own son.

Summary
Sometimes people take actions or do things because they are unaware of the possible consequences. Sometimes they do because of those possible consequences. Sometimes even despite the possible consequences. But all of the time if they don't want to run forever they have to cope with those consequences.
This is one possible continuation of the three chapter sketch of a beginning I wrote a while back. I started it for NaNoWriMo last year and came suprisingly far.
Being updated with no real schedule but used as a creative outlet so there should not be too long a wait between chapters.Updated regularlySeries

Summary
“This is a test of resourcefulness,” Wu Xie told them, “as passed down to me by my own teacher, Hei Xiazi.” He stepped back onto the low flatboat which had brought them here, and lifted his fist in a gesture of encouragement. “Fight-ing,” he said in English, then lifted the long-handled oar at the back of the boat and slowly propelled himself away, a solitary figure in the mournful landscape, fit for a painting.
Then Xiao-Bai remarked, “That’s a lot of crocodiles in the water.”
-(When Liu Sang and Xiao-Bai apply to Wu Xie for special training, he falls back on the classics.)

Summary
Marriages, especially out on the farms, are for survival.
Skills, land, money: all are in mind. Complementary skill sets are the goal. All on Tatooine have most skills, certainly, but… covering bases is important.
Shmi is too old to marry anyone looking to have children. She can cook, and mend, and fix a droid or engine. She’s wiry, under her dresses, but not particularly built, with her limited food resources. She can read and write, and she’s good enough with numbers for Watto to let her prep the books before he looks them over.
She is the kind of woman taken in as someone’s aunt, or grandmother.
Or a second wife.

In hindsight, she knew she'd been asking to be thrown into an alternate universe. She was a physicist, after all. What she hadn't been asking for was Sauron, a Convergence, and a bloody arrow digging into her neck. Also elves. She'd thought elves were a lie.
