Rarepairs Exchange reveal + AxGweek fic

[nrgburst]

So based on this (the pinpoints of HUD light inside Grace's pupils/surgical scars vs her normal ones looking at a wounded Dani with regret):
I wrote this:

Summary: Grace volunteered because she'd always wanted to be stronger and faster- she hadn't bargained on the sensory enhancements being a pain in the ass.
Still, there may be benefits she hadn't thought of either.


And here is my gift! A sweet fluffy Taki/Mitsuha reunion piece!

Also here is my completed AxGweek fic! This is a post-canon fix-it and I think it addresses Arya's Faceless arc a lot better than the show did? (Since the show just sorta dropped it. She was Arya Stark of Winterfell and going home, ha! But... turns out she didn't ACTUALLY give up being Faceless and stole a bunch of faces. And isn't it odd how emotionally stunted she seems after getting her vengeance on the Freys while being Faceless.) I combined 5 of the axgweek prompts into one fic and I think it worked pretty well. :D The other two days I did GIFsets plus a bonus art/edit so I did my best to represent, anyway! LOL

Summary: "So," she tried again, stretching the word across the space between them. "I guess we should just..."
Gendry blinked - like he'd already, somehow, forgotten why there were there.
"Just what?"
"Um." Arya chewed on her lip and bit a bullet she hadn't touched in a decade. "Kiss?"
She'd been smaller back then - quicker, nimbler - so she'd dodged it with ease. This time, it pierced every layer of her flushed skin.
"No."
-
(Arya asks her best friend to be her first good kiss. Ten years later, they're dared to do it again. Shouldn't be a problem - in theory.)




The last rec I have is rather unusual for this corner of fandom- this one is mostly platonic/family type feelings because they're both still young. What if Lady Stoneheart were revived while Arya was still with the Brotherhood? Arya recognizing Gendry as pack and Gendry being stubbornly in her corner and arguing with her all the while is just their dynamic to a T. <3

Fandom: A Song of Ice and Fire - George R. R. Martin, Game of Thrones (TV)

Summary:

“Aye, Gendry's young like you, better use at the forge. You could be a great help too, what with all those orphans staying with the Heddles.”

Arya bites her lip, considering. Loyalty pulls her in two directions. She feels a cold breeze at her neck, then creaky fingers resting on her shoulder.

“Daughter,” the Lady rasps and Arya’s heart trembles. It is the first time her mother displays any remembrance of her. The garbled word is enough to spark a fire in her, one bright enough to keep her warm.

“No,” Arya says to Thoros, looking over her shoulder. The Lady is ugly, unnatural, but Arya is not afraid of her. “I’m staying with my mother.”
