In her log entry for Surface Day 240, Captain Jade Hasegawa Wrote:Can't put it off any longer; it's time to go talk to the Lannisters.
To find out what she went on to say, and do, from there, read Chapter 14 of The Westerosi II: Subprime Directives, now available at the usual places:

Edit Reason: clarification

Her Perfect Existence, the prequel to Star Wars: Bare Squadron, skips forward a few years for its second interval, and Klay Sandorn continues to flash forward even further as he seeks Sanctuary:

EDIT: I neglected to link to the previously-published new SWBS story when it went up; it takes place a great many years later, in between the prologue, and the (revised) first chapter, of the main story. Did you wonder what a Drifter named Caleb Pyso was doing in the run-up to finding himself on board the Imperial dungeon-ship Ferrum? Well, whether you personally were or not, yer man Trav knew some people would be, and this story is for them:

Travolore's been busier than I realized. The second chapter of the Bare Squadron special edition is up. We're still not to the end of the first chapter's original version, but that's because we're slowing down and observing the scene more:
https://travolore.deviantart.com/art/Sta...-734257424
Not only that, but a tip of Chapter 3 has calved off into its own story, as we see what happened to Jogi Valkuff in the aftermath of Drifter, and find out why a certain (unnamed here) Imperial Inquisitor is known in the trade as the Mind Ripper:

cw: explicit attempted assault, implied act of domestic violence
A History Of The Isles, Oxford, England, 1591 Wrote:Pre-Viking Eirish society was, in technical terms, a sophisticated primitive society; it had formalized law, culture and social structures, but also lacked several elements associated with complex societies, specifically a written language, urban centers, and currency. The social structure of the Eirish, in particular, was based on three axes, and where the individual Eirish person fell on them....
The full epigraph to this week's A Thing of Vikings is long enough that I'm going to leave it there, and it's relevant to one of the reasons why, now that the fuse has been lit to the powder keg, people all over Europe are asking: Do You Hear Something?

Just in time for Star Wars Day, the third chapter of Bare Squadron: Ravager's Harvest is up, as we meet some characters who probably don't have counterparts in the main series and learn how this version of Cal Pyso's backstory is different:

“We can never undo what we have done. We can never go back in time. We write history with our decisions and our actions. But we also write history with our responses to those actions. We can leave the pain and the damage in our wake, unattended, or we can do the work of acknowledging and fixing, to whatever extent possible, the harm that we have caused.”

Origins of the Grand Thing, Edinburgh Press, 1631 Wrote:The piecemeal Berkian annexation of Eire in the early 1040s set the general pattern for their later hegemonic expansion elsewhere in the region. Unlike many other sovereigns of the era, Stoick the Vast, followed by his son Hiccup the Wise, were not excessively interested in conquest. However, they reacted to threats to their holdings and subjects in a decisive manner, a fact that directly led to their first annexation of Vedrarfjord.
Also informing matters in this area was the simple fact that the Hooligans had instituted universal freedmanship among their tribe over a century before, and detested the institution of thralldom, a detestation which quickly extended itself to serfdom and related institutions. As a third factor, due to the Hooligans' long war with the dragons, they had come to significantly appreciate the importance of investment into infrastructure, both physical and educational.
Thus a pattern emerged; an aggressor would attack them and be absorbed as a result of the counterattack, or a holding would petition to join. Then the peasantry of their new holding would find themselves the focus of intense investment into their economies and societies. Standards of living skyrocketed across the island, as the new infrastructure increased the demand for labor and allowed for the creation of surplus that could act as trade goods. Furthermore, the use of dragon scales as currency introduced sufficient liquidity across the Berkian holdings to allow for a transition from the barter system to a market economy. Finally, Chief Stoick, extending the laws of his homeland to the new holdings, instituted legally mandated universal education for all of his subjects. While initially based on the Hooligan model of functional literacy for everyone and then allowing for further specialization as fitting the individual's desires, additional subjects—mathematics, civics, rhetoric, languages, and history, among others—soon followed. These factors caused an explosion of cultural and social output over the following generations…
The fuse is lit, and those who heard it burning (and those who didn't) have their chance to ...Run Away. See who takes that opportunity, and who doesn't, in this week's A Thing of Vikings:
