Yes yes Holmes uses his talent for deduction to catch criminals but have you considered: the gifts so carefully considered they barely register as gifts. Watson, who has no family and few friends, doesn’t celebrate his birthday, hardly remembers it himself, and has certainly never told Holmes the date. And yet every year on that day they end up in a pleasant part of the country on business, with a little spare time to fish or stroll through the woods or eat a particularly good meal at the local inn. Every year Holmes gives Watson a small, oblique word of praise that sits in his mind like a warm ember. And every year Watson falls asleep thinking one year older, and it was quite a nice day.

just envisioning Jason riding home to you from patrol but getting caught in the rain.

Water beads on his helmet and cascades down his collared suit as he dismounts. His soaking suit clings to him deliciously as both his squeaking boots are planted on the ground next to his glistening bike.

His bruised hands reach up to remove his helmet, which reveals his supple, moistened cheeks shadowed by his drenched curls. He's definitely a welcome sight, as you watch him from your bedroom window, neglecting to feel any remorse for the way your thighs are rubbing together. He's cold and wet, and this is how you feel about it?

The familiar sound of his key in the lock sends shivers up your spine as his heavy footsteps grow closer. He needs to shower, you think, and maybe dry off with a towel. But how could you resist his wet hair, broad shoulders and tapered waist?

You know just how to warm him up.

We don’t appreciate enough how GRRM made House Targaryen the poster children for his de/reconstruction of the fantasy chosen family trope, and we don’t appreciate how Jon and Dany are the main lens through which he does that. House Targaryen is fantasy on steroids—magic swords, magic look, magic lineage, perhaps the most magic pet one could have in the genre, and a magic destiny that’s specific to them and only them. There’s a foretold magical conflict and its main hero (as many would think), “the prince that was promised”, specifically has to be a Targaryen. This House’s history is so rich, but from a genre perspective, it is Aerys II’s reign and Robert’s Rebellion that’s the most interesting to analyze. Aerys isn’t special himself, but he is to sire the future savior of the world. Then Rhaegar is born and tragic as they are, all the signs point to him being the promised messiah. And Rhaegar becomes THE fantasy hero on steroids. He’s the perfect heir to House Targaryen’s legacy because not only is he to be the best of them, and many think he would have been had he lived, but he is the most perfect manifestation of House Targaryen as the personification of fantasy. There’s absolutely a point to him living and dying as the heir, the inheritor, the eternal symbol of what could have been of the Targaryen’s old glory.

Part of Rhaegar’s legacy extends to his son Aegon. Aegon had everything Rhaegar didn’t. A comet was seen at his conception—and this is an most important herald for the chosen one. So he is given a song, “the song of ice and fire”, and a king’s name to match his status as the new messiah. He didn’t live long but he inherited Rhaegar’s look in his youth too; the fantasy protagonist look. But Aegon died before he could be the hero.

You see Jon and Dany as chosen ones only works so well because of their House’s history, especially as (anti)parallels to Rhaegar and Aegon. They are the unexpected inheritors and challengers to their house’s legacy but in different ways.

Dany is the most immediate and obvious heir. There’s a beauty to her being the last of them and thus, the one bearing the entire house’s legacy. Dany is THE Targaryen. And in being that, she becomes THE hero. She’s got the hero’s look, the hero’s magic and destiny, and better yet, she got the hero’s sword and pet all in one. And, she’s legitimate! She is House Targaryen. But there’s a problem….shes a girl. And we all know House Targaryen’s history with girls.

Maester Aemon’s “no one ever looked for a girl” is quickly becoming my favorite Dany-related quote because it pretty much encapsulates her entire arc, especially as an inheritor to her house’s legacy. The hero they died knowing and expecting was the boy: first Rhaegar, then Aegon. But father and son are dead. Yet Daenerys lives. She inherits everything else they did and more! The Targaryens tried and failed to bring dragons back, but it was Dany who ultimately did it.

Now, Jon is Dany but flipped. From a meta point of view, he’s more fantasy protagonist than she is. He’s a boy, he’s got a big magic sword that he can swing about, and he’s perhaps fantasy’s most prolific trope in action—the magical hidden prince. But within this story, GRRM flips these two characters. Jon’s fantasy protag-ness doesn’t go away, it just morphs into something else. Unlike Dany, he may be a boy and he may have a sword, but he lacks literally everything else. He doesn’t have the look, his magic powers are from his other family, so is his magic pet, and his magic destiny has thus far developed outside his immediate association with House Targaryen. Dany is “what if Rhaegar was a girl?”, but we can’t even begin to ask these types of questions with Jon because there’s so much that precludes him from the fantasy hero role in story. He’s Rhaegar’s heir…but he doesn’t look like him…and he’s not even legitimate. So what do we do now?

GRRM destroyed his fantasy protag house and decided to build up again from the ground up, but did so by challenging the two most critical points—primogeniture and exceptionalism. With Dany, he makes a girl the Targaryen’s outward successor. This works really well because the Targaryens have a history of denying their female heirs. But now what’s left of them is a girl, and she is literally everything they could have hoped for. And she is a a reflection of her house, but her arc has at many times seen her be the antithesis of her ancestors. And I can’t help but think of the oncoming meta-textual showdown between her and Young Griff. On the surface Young Griff, a boy, is the preferred heir. But Dany is, in truth, the one.

Jon is interesting because, in my view, he challenges the Targaryen idea of exceptionalism. He’s easily the fantasy protagonist from the outside looking in. But he doesn’t have the Targaryen name, nor does he have the look. He has the blood, but what makes him special is that it is mixed with the other major fantasy protagonist house’s blood—he’s special in that he’s a hybrid. And this is interesting because if Aegon conquered the seven kingdoms because of a prophecy regarding him or one of his princely descendants, it’s quite the twist to have this messiah not even be a Targaryen prince (not in name anyway). That’s why all the hand wringing around “is Jon legitimate?” or “no one cares because he doesn’t look like Rhaegar” really isn’t the point. The point is for Jon to be the manifestation of the hero—the king—outside of that narrow framework. And if he succeeds, then GRRM would absolutely still be subverting prophecy and genre conventions.

There’s something to Jon and Dany being born as or after House Targaryen falls. House Targaryen has no crown, no throne, and their prophetic mandate has been usurped. But GRRM is so attached to them, and he certainly wants to rebuild them and hold fantasy to account. But to do so, everything we know about the Targaryens, everything the Targaryens knew about themselves, has to be challenged and put to the test by the personifications of all that a Targaryen hero couldn’t be: a girl, and a bastard.

DpxDc Prompt

Danny, for whatever reason, has somehow wound up in a texting chain for the Injustice League. How this happened, or why the Injustice League even has a texting chain is beyond him. He didn't realize at first that it was the Injustice League messaging because it was usually a bunch of vague stuff and he just thought it was spam. Until he started connecting dots to dates, times, and locations of attacks related to the villainous league. So Danny starts taking notes and drops anonymous tips to the Justice League.

Only, the villains eventually catch on that they have a leak, and after finding a phone number that shouldn't be there, Danny receives a very direct message: The villains know about him, and they're coming.

If it was just him, he could manage. But the worst of the worst are coming for Amity Park and Danny is just one kid with more experience fighting ghosts than humans. It's time to drop his anonymity and ask the Justice League for help.

Satoru was awake at such an ungodly hour, his phone's brightness dimmed enough for you to see him squinting at a document on the screen.

His work as a private school teacher kept him busy even beyond his working hours, but you didn't expect him to be up at 2 AM— on a weekend, too.

Even though he was half-asleep and focused on whatever it was he was reading at that moment, he opened his arms to you when he felt you stirring beside him.

"Go to sleep, Toru..." You grumbled as you tiredly threw your arms around him. "Whatever that is can wait 'til Monday..."

"'F course, sweet thing. Just gottammff—" Satoru replied with a lazy chuckle, only for his laughter to be stifled by a sudden smooch from you. You yourself were half-asleep and drained by the week's work, but you couldn't fall asleep knowing your husband was still trying to squeeze in some extra minutes of grading students in the middle of the night.

He returned your soft kisses with an unexpected fervour and tremble in his lips, his strong arms coiling around you this time— his work saved and forgotten. How the hell was he supposed to fall asleep now?

"Mm. Don't start..." He said with a defeated chuckle. "...What you can't finish."

"I'll finish your face if you don't go back to sleep."

"So mean," a drowsy whine of complaint left his mouth this time, to which you replied with another eager kiss, one he happily returned as he planted his hands on your waist.

Maybe staying awake for the right reasons wasn't such a bad idea.
