Death's Library

By Laura Schiller

Based on the Seven Kingdoms Trilogy

(Note: The prompts for these drabbles are taken from a set of fifty prompts, ten of each starting with the same letter, which are commonly used for one-sentence challenges in many different fandoms. If someone could tell me where these prompts originally came from, I will mention it in a disclaimer.)

1. Walking

There is no shame in crawling when one cannot walk, Po told her once – but as Bitterblue crawls on her hands and knees across the snow-covered Winged Bridge, huddled against the icy wind, nauseous with the memory of Thiel's suicide, she feels more ashamed than ever before in her life. Not because of the height. Because she couldn't save him.

Be free of this. Thiel's last words. But how?

Thinking of Saf behind her, the warm support of his purple eyes, makes her feel ever so slightly better. She pulls herself to her feet.

"I will not be afraid."
