Drums beat out a command, and archers rushed forward, longbowmen and crossbowmen both, filling the air with arrows and quarrels. Scorpions were cranked upwards to loose iron bolts of the sort that had once felled Meraxes in Dorne. Meleys suffered a score of hits, but the arrows only served to make her angry. She swept down, spitting fire to right and left. Knights burned in their saddles as the hair and hide and harness of their horses went up in flames. Men-at-arms dropped their spears and scattered. Some tried to hide behind their shields, but neither oak nor iron could withstand dragon’s breath. Ser Criston sat on his white horse shouting, “Aim for the rider,” through the smoke and flame. Meleys roared, smoke swirling from her nostrils, a stallion kicking in her jaws as tongues of fire engulfed him.
Then came an answering roar. Two more winged shapes appeared: the king astride Sunfyre the Golden, and his brother Aemond upon Vhagar. Criston Cole had sprung his trap, and Rhaenys had come snatching at the bait. Now the teeth closed round her.
Princess Rhaenys made no attempt to flee. With a glad cry and a crack of her whip, she turned Meleys toward the foe. Against Vhagar alone she might have had some chance, for the Red Queen was old and cunning, and no stranger to battle. Against Vhagar and Sunfyre together, doom was certain. The dragons met violently a thousand feet above the field of battle, as balls of fire burst and blossomed, so bright that men swore later that the sky was full of suns. The crimson jaws of Meleys closed round Sunfyre’s golden neck for a moment, till Vhagar fell upon them from above. All three beasts went spinning toward the ground. They struck so hard that stones fell from the battlements of Rook’s Rest half a league away.
Those closest to the dragons did not live to tell the tale. Those farther off could not see, for the flame and smoke. It was hours before the fires guttered out. But from those ashes, only Vhagar rose unharmed. Meleys was dead, broken by the fall and ripped to pieces upon the ground. And Sunfyre, that splendid golden beast, had one wing half torn from his body, whilst his royal rider had suffered broken ribs, a broken hip, and burns that covered half his body. His left arm was the worst. The dragonflame had burned so hot that the king’s armor had melted into his flesh.
A body believed to be Rhaenys Targaryen was later found beside the carcass of her dragon, but so blackened that no one could be sure it was her. Beloved daughter of Lady Jocelyn Baratheon and Prince Aemon Targaryen, faithful wife to Lord Corlys Velaryon, mother and grandmother, the Queen Who Never Was lived fearlessly, and died amidst blood and fire. She was fifty-five years old.

See You After - Part II: Rebuilding the bridges that were burned
Chapter 45 of "See You After" is posted
This chapter concludes Part II: "Rebuilding the bridges that were burned".
Part III: "No one told us (that winning the war would be the easy part)" begins in Chapter 46.
Some of my personal favorite parts to write in Part II were:
Koi pond scene (Ch. 28)
"Calm" app text thread (Ch. 33)
Conversations about identity and names (Ch. 35, 36, 39, 40)
Rei & Shouto scene (Ch. 39)
Bakusquad birthdays text thread (Ch. 42)
Unsent Letter (Ch. 44)
I also had way too much fun writing the news articles (which appear in Ch. 26, 38, 43, 45)
Preview of things to come in Part III:
The long road to recovery (as individuals and as a society)
The downside of being known (Hero Daily Mail returns)
Supportive friends, Class 1A interactions (and speculations)
Training (searching for purpose, re-learning how to fly)
The highs and lows of being a real family
Touya
Questions about what it means to be a hero
As I mentioned last time, the "slow burn" tag is there for a reason, but there will be lots of moments between Shouto and Katsuki in letters, texts, and other conversations.
Another thing to keep in mind: healing isn't linear.

I relate to Lilah a lot, because I, too, would get tangled in a toxic relationship for 2-6 months and that would leave me with years of trauma that affects my curent relationships

@monstroum | stop acting like a hillbilly and sit down .
louis laughs, right in his fuckin' clown face.
stays standing; crosses one leg over the other and leans, easily, hip propped up against an aisle seat. it's all the same shit — same shit he had to put up with from tom, same shit he's been putting up with, enduring past the limits of endurance, except this time louis isn't stuck at the whims of some puffed-up egomaniac. doesn't have to bow to santiago's drama-queen stage-star bullshit just for the sake of plain old human appeasement.
" nah. " lazy, easy; unbothered. not louis's problem if someone's feeling upstaged. not his problem that santiago can't take not being the one with everyone's eyes on him, all the time. hillbilly; jesus. is that the best he can manage? louis folds his arms and laughs again, softer this time; dismissive. " don't think i will. "
