HOURGLASS UPDATE: “a plan and a dream” + “a homecoming” OUT NOW

The people of Trader Town treated her like a princess, which in many ways she was. Merchants and customers bowed their heads as she passed, and children looked up at her with wide, adoring eyes.

— a plan and a dream

Sing of the blood that changed the fate of all, The sun’s fierce wrath and the darkness’s thrall. / Sing of the betrayal that turned the skies to dread, And the price paid by the living and the dead. / Sing of dreams where shadows creep, Of darkened whispers in restless sleep. / Sing of vulnerable hearts led astray, The cruel deeds done in his hidden sway. / Sing of souls reborn by fate’s design, For they will bring the end of night.

— a homecoming

MULTIPLE UPDATES IN ONE WEEK??? i know i know it’s a miracle 😭 but i really hope you enjoy these two chapters! esp they feature two of my fave strong girls. they’re the anti-thesis to the typical heroines people love to hype up. because yes, you can still be badass if you decide to do your duty over fighting it, if you wear dresses, if you like pretty things, if you’re “boring,” or if you choose collectivism over individualism. you can choose to be a wife, a mother, a caretaker… all those traditional feminine roles people shit on. you don’t have to be a tomboy or be a “i’m not like other girls!” 👋🏼👋🏼👋🏼

Elia dies and awakes on the day of her wedding. Armed with the memories of her previous life, she is determined not to let them come to pass. She will make the Seven Kingdoms regret they ever underestimated her.

In another part of the Red Keep, the Gods of Old Valyria send Rhaegar back in time to fix his wrongs and ensure the survival of House Targaryen. Rhaegar knows his madness and hubris led to the destruction of everything he loves and cares for. Never again.

— Hourglass

Five years into King Rhaegar I's reign, the realm prospers under his progressive leadership. However, the same cannot be said for the king's family. Behind the walls of the Red Keep, Rhaegar grapples with his inner demons, and House Targaryen continues to be haunted by the war's tragic end.

Water magic resurfaces across the sea in the Golden Empire of Yi Ti for the first time in centuries with the arrival of the Emperor's new wife. She works to uncover the forgotten history of the world, only to realize that her own past refuses to be buried.

— Sunset Embers

Everyone believes that Crown Princess Elia and her two young babes perished in the Mad King’s wildfire plot.

Fifteen years after the war, yet another mystery knight changes the course of history.

📣 HOURGLASS UPDATE: a tale of two princes IS OUT NOW 📣

“Prince Rhaegar Targaryen,” the man greeted in accented Common Tongue. Getting a good look at him now, he looked younger than Rhaegar. Sounded younger as well. “I am Ai Taizi , the Crown Prince of YiTi, but you may call me Zhenjin.”

WELCOME TO THE GOLDEN EMPIRE OF YITI BABYYYYYYY

Thank you guys so much for your patience and continued support! I loved writing this chapter and I hope you’ll like it too! It’s the first major divergence from the OG hourglass, and for those who have also read my other stories, you’ll see some familiar beloved characters here, haha. Also if you see any mistakes, please disregard cause I was too excited to share it with you guys to read it over and edit LOL

HOURGLASS: Act I

“What’s your end goal here, Elia?”

To avenge myself and my children. To rid unworthy men of significant power. To ensure a realm where innocent blood does not water our soil.

“I’m tired of war,” Elia said. “I’ve been given this life to make things right. But we cannot move forward without removing the weeds by the roots, lest they fester again.”

this post will be updated as the story progresses! as always, thank you for the endless love and support.

HOURGLASS UPDATE: “a fork in the road,” is out NOW!

“Who are you?”

“That’s quite a complicated question. Sometimes, I myself don’t know. History has given me many names, yet it has forgotten the one I hold most dear.”

THE LORES ARE HERE! i had SO much fun combining all these myths and legends. i hated how the show did not even explore any of them! it barely touched on the story of the long night. IT MAKES ME SOOOO MAD so i shall bring justice to them!!! literally, these stories are what made asoiaf the amazing fantasy world that it is.

i really need to be better at updating this story since i have all the chapters from the previous version lmao
